Honda should look at why motor journalists say the NSX has a dull interior while other cars have great interiors. It may be as simple as aluminium knobs and switches. Carbon fibre features etc. I think electronic gadgets like sat NAV, fancy stereos with lots of speakers should be options on a...

IIRC Porsche sports exhausts have valves in them so they are quiet at idle and louder when going fast. Don't know if they're available everywhere but, they allow the car to pass its annual MOT (DOT) test that we have.

I had my front bumper repainted, by a Honda dealer. First he spent a day sanding it down to the plastic.

Nice, but for a right hand drive car the handbrake lever is on the wrong side of the gearstick.

When Honda put a redline at 8000, you can drive it to 8000rpm. Maybe other manufacturers are different, but Honda engines are designed for it. Also if you have never gone past 6000rpm, then does that mean you have never gone into VTEC? You are missing out.

Chris, Thanks for your numbers. Your air temp was 104F? Wow, I'll be lucky to ever get that kind of temp here in England! I'll be averaging 60F when I drive! Some questions though. Did you take the readings with the car moving or stationary? It guess it wouldn't matter for the first set of...

At light speed reaching the nearest star to Earth would still take years. We all know on Star Trek they can go from star to star in days or less. Warp speed must be faster, or is it that the distance travelled is less?

I am 6'4. The standard seats do not allow me to use a helmet while on track. I made my own seat mounts which allow the Sparco EVOs I have to reach the floor. What I find is that I still have to slouch down a bit to get headroom with helmet on. Another point not mentioned is that if you recline a...

Great, but none of these answers my original question. I know the standard cooler runs off the water. So the oil is not going to be cooled to less than the water temp. Maybe what I should ask is, what the normal water temp? Just a rough idea, is it 50deg C, is it 80deg C? If the standard cooler...

I have fitted an oil temp gauge. The sender is fixed to the sump (oil pan) and so is measuring the oil temp of the oil coming from the engine before it goes to the pump and cooler. Does anyone know how effective the OEM cooler is? If I knew the standard cooler, cools the oil by say 10deg C then...

The Audi 100 had an aluminium body according to this http://www.audi.com.cn/feetnav/news_detail_9.html, but the article doesn't say it went into production, it just says it was a study. The A8 was the first all aluminium Audi, but it was a few years after Honda. Audi has a space frame chassis...

I remember when these Exedy clutches were first being installed. There was talk about the amount of noise/chatter from them. There was one vendor who did tell a customer how to stop it. I think the vendor may of been Cybernation, or ACR Motorsports. It was a vendor who was claiming to be the...

I've heard the oil pump relief valve also ticks. Go down to the right rear wheel and listen for ticking at idle.

F1 headers are made of it too. They get so hot, they become translucent.

I use my tap and die set. By screwing bolts into the dies you can see what size the thread is. It also came with a pitch gauge. It's like a set of feeler gauges, but the blades have a serrated edge. Line up this edge against the thread of the bolt, to see the thread pitch.

I'm not sure you guys have the right attitude when dealing with the owners of these cars. For me, there's nothing better than at the track, telling the owner of one of those cars how fast and good I think they are, and how my 12 year old NSX is getting on a bit. Then see their faces when I...

Gerard Hi, Are you fitting it yourself? Will you be taking more pictures as you fit it? I am getting a new clutch in soon. Kevin

I don't know if this is of any use to anyone but I get small motherboards from here www.mini-itx.com. I build small file servers and stuff out of them.

Sure, it's http://autos.groups.yahoo.com/group/nsxcb For some reason it's hard to search for it. See you there.

http://world.honda.com/news/2003/c031216_1.html This engine is a Turbofan, does this mean Honda can now be classed as using turbos on their vehicles?:)

Isn't the Type S zero the real stripped out one? The S is the same is the Zinardi, slightly stiffer springs, and the sporty seats etc. But do you really want a JDM import? You were worried about the histiry of the car at Levant before, this one is from around the world?!!

Hi, Although not London, there this guy http://www.sound-offs.co.uk/about_us.htm. The owner has the NSX. If you haven't already why not join the UK NSX group? At the moment we are using Yahoogroups. Joing the NSXCB group. There are people there that know about stereos and stuff, I just stick...

I don't even know why they tested the TypeR again. They tested one when the German R&D came over to the UK. Back then they said how good it was, and how well it went despite having 280bhp. Anyway after seeing Hammond the Hamster's driving ability close up at the Bedford track, I don't care...

Before the start if this years track season, I would like to install an oil temp and maybe pressure gauges. Has anyone done this or have the technical knowledge as to tell me where to put the sensors? Is there an easy location, or do I have to drill and tap out a hole? I believe someone...
