    How to fix a wind noise in door window.

    I had the same issue. My rubber weatherstrips were not in good shape. They don't necessarily need to be cracked to impede the seal, they can also just have lost their rigidity. It is a spendy option, but if you change these out you will have a perfect seal and NO road noise. From my...

    The smell of gas

    +1 on injector seals. I had the same problem when I bought my car. Cheap parts and fairly in-expensive to have done. GL

    loud chattering noise from transmission??

    What clutch do you have? If you have the SOS carbon, it makes this noise. I think a few others do as well. You should be in Redmond this Saturday, let's take a look then. As long as it is engaging and you can drive it fine, no problem. If others are correct and it is the pressure plate...

    Final Drive noise with high HP

    I wish I had found this out sooner. I had 4.55's in my car with 470+ hp and on my sixth lap (yes the first 5 were me warming up and getting squinted with the car) boooom the 4.55 r and p fail. I picked up a new stock six speed tranny and am very happy to be back to stock. On the track, at least...

    Which wheel do you like for my 05 NSX?

    I think your choice is easy. You should go with the TSW Vortex (wheel on the right). Another member has this set up on his red car and WOW! I think this in the silver finish is perfect for the NSX. I would put this combo in the top five wheel choices. For a red NSX, I would put this in the...

    Spring NSX meet (NW, Seattle)

    Fowler, What day is this for? The proposed meet date, May 12th? Or is this for next weekend, as I know Redmond is running every weekend? For sure, I am also in if this is for the 12th. Thanks for the clarification. Jacob

    Spring NSX meet (NW, Seattle)

    Ferrand, Nice to hear from you. I will be back from Asia early next week. I have everything to fix my car, but I just need to put it in. I also have a new KW V3 set up I want to install. I was hoping you had Franky's phone number as I still wanted to ask for his help. Please shoot me a PM...

    Spring NSX meet (NW, Seattle)

    Sounds great guys. It looks like we can get quite a bit of interest. Especially since we are a few weeks away. It seems that May 12th would be the optimum day. We can meet at the Redmond town center and then go for a cruise. For sure, we are all praying for nice non-Seattle weather. Does...

    Spring NSX meet (NW, Seattle)

    Hello All, I am new to the NSX, having just acquiring my car earlier this year. I have seen a lot of fellow NSX owners at the Redmond town center on Saturdays, but I was thinking it would be great for all of us to meet up just the NSX's. I think this could be good to not only get...

    Full cage & door weight saving

    You can carefully remove the door panels and weigh them to find out how much you would save by removal. If you are having a full cage put in, you should have all the security you need. I would just always recommend a window cage to prevent injury just encase of a roll over. Most circuits...

    NSX vs R8 One Humble Mans Point of View

    Wow, there was a lot said. I am also in the camp of owning both. The R8 is a great car and has a lot of pluses. I really like the look and the fact that it is more of a sleeper car without that special feel. I buy a car to enjoy and not to show off. I drive my cars and enjoy them on the...

    Top Speed

    I hit 135 mph on the main straight at PIR. I think she would go a maybe 20-30 mph more here. This is good, but going into turn 2 you have to brake hard down to 80 ish within a few tens of yards. The fastest I have gotten my 500 hp M5 was 142 mph at PIR (162 mph otherwise). I would be...

    USED NSX parts Prices

    Agreed. I just saw some 02+ tail lights for more than new. Excluding the center piece. Very strange or people are hard up for cash.

    What is the youngest child you can take in your NSX?

    Oscar, What wheel center caps are you using? Where can I get a set of those? Really great pictures. Thanks for sharing. Jacob

    radar detector setup

    Hands down, the best system out there now is the Escort passport 9500ci. It is a stealth install and shifts laser guns. I have this in most of my cars and will put this in my NSX next month. It seems expensive, but it will pay for itself in one season of proper driving. Look this up and...

    Need some price advice. 2000 NSX-T

    I would list it for 55-57k and not take a penny under 52k. If you are up to date-ish on all the maintenance, your car will sell in less than a week. GL

    Places to look for NSX for sale besides Prime

    I agree with the post above on trying to find current owners on the fence and not really listing their car, but willing to sell it. This is how I found my car. I posted a want ad on prime for the specs I was looking for. A guy whom was thinking about selling answered and we made a deal. I...
