    Engine smells like burnt plastic and black "soot" on the bumper.

    I searched and see discussions on both which I read through. Most were very old so I'm checking to see if there were any recent revelations. Two symptoms, both may very well be benign. 1. In my 2000 NSX I have always smelled a burnt plastic smell out of the engine bay vent after driving...

    Question: Steering wheel moving side to side

    Every once in a while I noticed my steering wheel had a slight 'click' to it. Never really understood why and never could re-create it....until the other day. I finally figured out what or where the movement was. If I grab the wheel I can move the wheel left and right by about 1/4" (No not...

    Should this be loose? Tensioner??

    I was just checking the engine bay and saw this that almost looked like a tool. I suspect it is a tensioner. Should this be loose? I could turn it very easily by hand. https://flic.kr/p/GqsjGu

    Question: I thought the NSX ABS was the first time ABS was used but...

    I thought the NSX ABS was the first time ABS was used on a production car but that appears to be untrue. Was there something about the ABS that was unique? Maybe the first Honda ABS? I posted an video on you tube and think I made an error in my statement. I would like to clarify but haven't...

    Steering Wheel Off Center after Alignment, Was it Smart to do this?...

    Summary: After alignment my car drove fine but the wheel was not centered when going straight (about a 1/4" off). I just went under the car and adjusted the steering rods by holding the knuckle (Not the bolt) and spinning the turn buckles up (to turn the Wheels right). It appeared that the...

    Why does a 225/35 R18 effect TCS? Or maybe it doesn't...

    I was considering moving from a 215/35 R18 front to a 225/35 R18 front (only for looks purposes). I read a few threads stating it would effect TCS. Why is that? For that matter, why does tire width effect it at all. Isn't it just height? Thoughts?
