    BC Racing Coilovers - Comprehensive Review

    Great write up and very relevant to me as I am searching for coilovers. I am very interested in your first impressions once you get them set up how you want them on your car. And of course after you get it balanced by a shop. I also want to have the coilovers for about 80% street and 20%...

    Looking for best NSX Tuner

    Where are you located? New Jersey? I think if you are on the East coast you should look up Larry B. Very knowledgeable and always helpful on prime. He has great reviews on his work. Good Luck.

    Odyssey battery

    Great info! Care to share the details of your set-up? Which model are you running and at what specs for the battery? Also, what hardwire tender are you running. Pics are always welcome. I am also in need of changing to a better set up. I have my car garaged for 4 months at a time. Thanks,

    Trasmission Problems...Again

    Are you tracking your car? Are you rev-matching on your downshifts? I am not sure how strong these transmissions are.

    NW-Built and Stancewars meet

    It looks like you guys did not get the greatest weather. However, that is quite a few NSX's that showed up. Nice.

    996 brembo brakes on an NSX?

    what wheels will fit over this type of a big brake kit? Has anyone ever done a thread that specifies wheel fitment on big brake kits? I have a brembo 12.9" kit and I am curious to know how limited I am with wheel options. Thanks in advance and sorry for slightly high jacking the thread.

    Stock Bose sound system

    I also agree, the stock system is not bad. You will not win any sound system competitions with it, but for a little back ground music it does just fine. I have an eight thousand dollar stereo upgrade in my Audi Q7. It is very nice, but not worth the money the original owner paid for it. The...

    Big day tomorrow for my new toy

    Mark, I recognize you from the M5 forums. I also have an e39 M5. I recently purchased my NSX, but also kept my M5. Both are great cars and I did not want to have to choose. Good luck with your big maintenance project. Your car is very nice and clean. I will probably see you at a local...

    Anyone noticed slight uptick in nsx asking prices recently?

    I think the previous owner paid $47k for my car two plus years ago, I then bought it for $50k. He put a bit of money into it for maintenance, but no mods. I think the prices are going up a bit due to season and awareness/popularity of the new NSX. I think most of us in the NSX community are...

    Acura of Lynnwood (Great!)

    Last month I had my new to me, 99 NSX, in Acura of Lynnwood's shop and I can't say enough good things about their team and service. Charles, Jon their tech and the rest of their team was very professional and helpful. I had them fix some leaky injection seals and put in a new ABS modulator...

    Brake color change recommendation?

    This is a pretty straight forward DIY. If you prep the area real good, you don't even need to detach the calipers. You will need to bag everything and then cover twice with paper (news paper will work, but painter's paper is better to ensure no bleed through) and tape. I would guess a shop...

    Is this known issue, if not, what is this, something bad?

    To know for sure the source of the oil, you should be able to compare the oil on the trans with the oil inside the transmission and inside your block. I know that your manual says to use the same in both, but this was changed for NA2 cars. Hopefully, the previous owner used something better in...

    NSX Price is Right!

    $135k, honda will make it compete head to head with Audi's R8. Fully optioned it will need to be lower than the R8.

    SUV got totalled...looking at MDX, Cayenne, RR Sport

    Better Idea I was in the same position as you a few years ago. I have two daughters and wanted to get a safe, comfortable SUV and I decided on the Audi Q7. It is 1000x better than your other choices due to having 7 seats and it has the ratings to be the safest SUV out there. I got the 4.2 l...

    Help: Transmission or diff failure

    Good point and good issue to look out for. I guess there are quite a few guys out there that are not shy to cut corners. This would not be a positive prior issue to have.

    Help: Transmission or diff failure

    Thanks for the info and replies thus far. I want to clarify that my 13 year old car is bound to have some issues. I am not disappointed in the performance of my NSX. I am certainly not under the illusion that everything will always be great and not fail. My intention of this post is to...

    Help: Transmission or diff failure

    Thanks for the input. I also had the same thought, these transmissions are very robust. This should be especially true since I have only 37k on the clock. I tried to get the stethoscope out and try to hear where the sounds are coming from. I am not sure how to pull these two apart and test...

    Help: Transmission or diff failure

    Hello All, I am hoping someone can help me with a recent failure I had with my 1999 NSX. The car has 37k miles and high boost comptech supercharger. It has Comptech 4.55 gearing and was most likely never driven hard. I am pretty sure it was never tracked (verified at Autowave last month as...

    Look what I got . . .

    Agreed, this is an awesome purchase. What did you pay for something like that? What kind of speeds can you hit on the long straights (over 150mph??)? How about the safety? Are you concerned if you take it into a wall (God forbid), does it have crumple zones? Thanks for sharing. Jacob
