It's the Maintenance Minder system that is in all new Hondas. It is described in your Owner's manual, and provides all the scheduled maintenance items and when they should be done.

TMU fluid is dead simple to change, as long as you have access to the underside. Engine oil and filter change is also easy. Cabin air filters require removal of a bunch of items, plus you have to work inside the passenger footwell, but is straightforward.

I changed my oil and filter after 1 year. It had 9926km (6168 miles) and MM was at 40%. I've changed it every year, more or less, except this past year since I didn't put much mileage on it. I use Mobil 1. I don't bother using anything fancier since the car is street-driven. The engine is...

There are two lift points on each side, where a metal bar is welded to the frame. One is behind the front wheel, the other is in front of the rear wheel. If you look beneath the car, you should be able to see them.

wheel stands are fine if you don't have to take the wheels off. You can build some workable stands out of wood. The only thing to worry about with those makeshift stands in that pic is the risk of the car rolling off, which can be fixed with a better design. Here is something I built decades...

That makes 298 for the year (assuming all sold this year were Type-S). I guess the last two will count as Jan '03 sales.

The frequency of oil changes is only an issue if something goes wrong during the warranty period. Honda could care less what you do to your car after that. If something goes wrong during the warranty period and it's a lubrication-related situation, not changing the oil annually gives them the...

It is a very capable car, full stop. Which is my point.

It may be "more" track focused, but it is still a street car. It has a full interior, power seats, and a multi-speaker sound system.

No, not even close. I did a lot of weight loss with my NA2, and it was a mistake. Losing significant weight on the NC1 is a fool's errand. This is a street car, not a track-focused car. If you want a track car, buy something else.

It's possible they swapped the finishers with someone who had the chrome version. It's also possible that the carbon fibre exterior parts are fake (wrapped).

Huh, I disabled that feature day 1 and have never turned it back on. Don't miss that feature in the least.

I'm guessing there is a lot more to it than just the door handle. If you're worried about the paint, apply some PPF.

It might also help if you post this in the correct forum.

Just do a search for "second generation nsx owners group" and it will point you in the right direction. You will have to apply to join and show proof of ownership. I use facebook just for a few groups and pages, and ignore the rest.

Spacers are typically for the OEM wheels to push them further out and reduce the "tucked in" look that some people find unpleasant. Aftermarket wheels usually have more aggressive offset to begin with.

Except that there is no 75k service, at least for North American cars. Everything is based on the MM. That video is just more FUD.

They are "special" lug bolts because Honda uses ball seats rather than the more common taper seats. Otherwise, you could use any 14x1.5mm threaded lug bolts of the appropriate length. Finding one that also has a ball seat is the issue.

So why didn't you buy then?

It's still ugly. It was one of two "must-not-haves" for me: XM antenna, and the rear spoiler.

Yes. yes it is.

NAV was optional on Canadian cars, too. However, our cars came standard with ELS audio. The TECH package added nav and parking sensors (plus a couple of other minor things), with or without XM radio.

Meh, parking sensors are over-rated. Never use mine. Google Maps works as well or better than the Garmin Nav that comes with the car.

Navigation was part of the Tech package for 2017 and 2018, IIRC. I don't think you can retrofit it. Luckily, Android Auto and Apple Carplay are standard, so just use Google Maps on your phone.

Changing the filter element and o-rings only takes a couple of minutes. Easy to do. Shouldn't add any extra labour cost to the job.
