    Nice quick read about NSX-T brochure--Hemmings

    I have a 95 brochure in which Acura lists tan as simply "tan" and onyx as "black". Those were the only two choices listed.

    BAT Bring a Trailer Grand Prix White GPW 1992 NSX auction.This should be interesting.

    Rolling on fat fives with the 4X4 ride height excites me plenty from behind the wheel. If it doesn't impress as much from the outside, that's the viewer's disappointment, not mine. I love sexy rims and nice (not over-done) stance when I'm looking at cars, but for me the 91 NSX is best driven on...

    Dying seats black?

    I know it can be done. And there are some good do-it-yourself options out there if you have the patience and the skill (Doesn't really look all that hard.)

    Windshield questions

    Not that these are high end collector cars (yet), but among those who do collect, show, and judge high end collector cars, having the correct glass is important. Those little markings etched into the glass that identify brand, etc, are important. More to the point, I'm not sure you get...

    Snap ring transmission failures

    One picture (if it is accurate) might be worth a few words. Edge view (cross-section). Obviously not to scale. Click to zoom. Snap ring in red. Shaft in black. Load on snap ring in blue. Normal: Note the ratio of supported material vs stressed material. Bad snap ring (actually excess...

    Road car or race car - how about both?

    Asked and answered. Now back to our thread... AAA card - No amount of maintenance will protect you from that nail in the road. HID headlight kit - If you have a proper kit correctly aimed you can get better illumination with less glare for oncoming drivers. Navigation - I have an Android...

    Road car or race car - how about both?

    I love to argue. Thus, I offer four ways to make the NSX a better ROAD car: -HID headlight kit - Night and day difference in nighttime visibility. One of the few non-power modifications that make the care better, not just different. -Navigation - But a bit of a challenge if one wants to maintain...

    Snap ring transmission failures

    Just curious. When this came to light, why didn't Honda just come up with some kind of shim? Or is the variability of the over-cut too great to make that an option? (Or am I totally misunderstanding what these components look like?)

    Are these prices reasonable for service?

    Just a few parts. And these are retail prices. CV boot set is $34. Valve cover gaskets $52/pair Spark plug seals $24/set Lower timing belt cover $265 Cam seals $36 Oil Pan Gasket $36 So, for example, on the replacement of the oil pan gasket, they are looking at over $900 in labor. Even at...

    Inner fender liner

    - - - Updated - - - Took me about five years mucking about with various Hondas to discover that. That's also an item it would make much more sense to go to your local Honda* or Acura dealer and order. You might save a buck on such a small item ordering on line but the shipping and handling...

    Stock Clutch, 425 RWHP, Still Works Fine What Am I Doing Wrong?

    And driving style/clutch engagement technique will have an even greater effect on torque capacity, as well as on the mileage it takes to wear the clutch friction material down with the resulting loss of torque capacity you mentioned.

    NSX: Owning a Unicorn

    Notes from the Mississippi Gulf Coast: I have not been surprised by the attention the NSX gets around here. I have to admit I enjoy the attention the car gets. I am surprised at how many locals know about the car. Among those less familiar with the NSX, many express amazement that it is a...

    Honda type r badges vs Acura badges?

    I switched out the red-fill H badges that were on the front bumper cover and rear tail-light center section when I bought the car for an Acura badge and an "ACURA" rear tail center. But I'm working on returning my 91 to OEM. I can certainly see the attraction of the red-fill H badge especially...

    2003 NSX vs. 2004 Ferrari 360 coupe

    Possibly, nsxtc. People are asking for stupid money for NSXs this spring. Not sure what they are actually getting, though. I think a lot of the prices you see on Prime and eBay are just feelers.

    2003 NSX vs. 2004 Ferrari 360 coupe

    Saw a 89 Ferrari 348tb go on the block on a recent edition of "What's My Car Worth" on Velocity. Car went for about $40K plus fees. Condition was pretty good. Some seat wear and some minor paint issues. But I thought the telling aspects of the sale were 1) The selling price and 2) the fact that...
