    Will 04 suspension fit on my 91?

    Your springs and sway bars are fine. They don't wear out. That leaves your shocks. I have driven Zanardi, coupes, and NSX-Ts. I didn't find the Zanardi any more hostile over rough services then a standard coupe. I have heard that the NSX-R suspension is brutal over rough surfaces but have...

    Will 04 suspension fit on my 91?

    You have a coupe. I would look at a Zinardi suspension if I was going all Acura parts. The NSX-T suspension is for a slightly heavier car and was apparently softened to accommodate the NSX-T's lower rigidity. I have Bilstein/Eibach setup and love it. No more harsh then stock. You can keep...

    Our schools teaching our kids - it's better to lie, honesty doesn't pay

    In the late 70's I was in grade school and was board in class so I pulled out my spring loaded Swiss army knife and was playing with it on my desk during class. I gave myself 2 good cuts before I had to tell the teacher what happened. She sent me to the nurse for band aids and I was asked not...

    Motorcyclist killed in collision while lane splitting

    without getting into feelings on this subject (other then sad for the biker's family) is lane splitting legal in some states? if yes - do you know how liability is handled? Emergency personnel are training to not travel at significant deltas to traffic to avoid injury and death. If traffic is...

    New message from Acura re: NSX

    Tell them their products are more boring then Buick (seriously right now) and they are "Bangling" all their new models with that cheap, plastic, cuisinart blade they are putting on the front of their cars. I don't find a single Acura product appealing right now and would sooner shop Honda or...

    Another 2+2 front engine competitor to next gen NSX - from Ferrari

    This time Ferrari is going after the 2+2 lower priced (for them) front engine GT market. They are expecting to sell 4,000+ / year and I don't doubt it. http://www.autoweek.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20080304/FREE/452036069/1528/newsletter01 Competition is getting stiff and global fuel...

    The first SUV I'm gonna fall in love with.

    Cool! It is an SUV with: - no towing capacity - 2 door inconvenience - no off road ability - worse gas millage then regular coupe - higher center of gravity then regular coupe - worse handling then regular coupe :rolleyes: :biggrin:

    The war is over Toshiba quits! Boooyah

    Actually I believe Sony may be the bigger looser of the two. With AppleTV and other HD (and near HD download services) on the way it won't matter for long. They were just arranging lawn chairs on the Titanic in the end. Who wants to go to a store or wait for Netflix for a disk you can lose...

    Alot of old-school owners jumping ship....

    I've only driven my NSX a few times since NSXPO 98! :) I want to keep mine forever and am enjoying looking at it and the possibility for fun even though I don't get to drive it hardly at all. It is still worth keeping. Heck, in my 10+ years of ownership it is hardly depreciated at all! I...

    I may need to sell my NSX, looking for opinions

    Maybe you can look for a creative solution? You can sell many of the go fast parts and take the money and 1) buy a lift for your nearly stock NSX and 2) buy a nice safe family sedan with a few miles on the clock. A used Taurus is cheap, rides well, is low maintenance, and has had a 5 star...

    Forget SHAWD! How about a next gen NSX that can do this!

    Heater blows cool air except when car is moving...what is wrong?

    I had similar symptoms when my climate control board coughed up a hair ball. After coolant level I would think some of your capacitors have leaked onto the circuit board like so many before. Do a search - I think BrianK was fixing them once upon a time. It is a double sided board but if you...

    I don't know - I feel a cold coming on suddenly. I may have to stay home *cough* and find out! :) BTW - isn't IM great? You don't have to call in and fake cough and try to sound dying anymore! ;)

    Guitar Hero for the Wii

    Dang - that kid rocks! My 9 year old is still finishing up Medium. I guess I better home school him and make him quit piano and viola lessons to get him going! :) I beat medium but hard is well - hard. I actually have to practice the songs now to get through them (usually only 3 stars)...

    How do you talk your wife out of a minivan?

    I have a Toyota Siena AWD fully loaded and couldn't imagine life without it. I too liked the Honda vans (had a 99') but the tranny went out and the folks we know with 05's and better are in the shop A LOT. As for the Siena - the damn thing could have a Lexas badge and no one would be the...

    body world 2

    Took my 5, 6, and 9 year old to Body Worlds 3 at the incredible St. Louis Science Center. I prepped the kids by watching the online video posted on the Science Center site to gauge their reaction before I went. The one here has a little controversy as they have babies at every stage of...

    Guitar Hero for the Wii

    OK - spent some time checking out Rock Band for the 360. Here are some of my observations... 1) The drums are awesome on Rock Band! I was not expecting such quality and quantity! There are 4 electric drums with a stand and a bass pedal. The drum feel is on par with pretty nice electric drum...

    Guitar Hero for the Wii

    My new favorite game on the Wii. Hardest part is getting the Wii away from my kids! Seriously cool game. My folks bought Rock Band for the 360 at their house so I will have to check it out and compare.

    Halfshaft boot damged

    I was thinking of going this route but I read bad things and got scared. Every time I take a shortcut it comes back to bite me in the a__. I guess I know what they mean when they say "older but wiser" :redface:

    Halfshaft boot damged

    Hi Bill! I wrote Larry B and he didn't have his copy of the article he wrote. I tore my house apart and couldn't find it. Can you scan and email me a copy? I would be greatly in your debt! My NSXCA# is 59 if you want to validate it. Thanks if you can help me out! / happy holidays! Nick...

    Buffet on Estate Taxes

    The problem for the government as it is for most business is cash flow, revenue, and expenditures. If you take something away from revenue you need to make it up somewhere else with higher taxes or stop spending somewhere else with cuts. Sadly, with our deficit the debt we have now equals more...

    Halfshaft boot damged

    Holly Cow Rob! That sounds awesome!!! I did a quick Google search and couldn't find one but might not be looking for the right thing. Any information anyone has on the "quick boot" would be much appreciated! :)

    with all sincerity...

    I am confused as to how this trick helps him get out of a DWI? :confused: Is it because he can't blow with a broken jaw or they can't test you if you are unconscious?
