I don't want to neglect this thread too much but I'm looking forward to attending the NSX Mideast Meet again next weekend in North Carolina and seeing the community folks once again :). I will make an update post afterwards.
Otherwise, I've been super busy since purchasing my first home and...
Hey there, if I remember right the TCS has a separate smaller wire harness (in the KSP/RFY harness cases) that connects to the ABS control unit that would have to be installed if that wasn't left in there during the initial S2000 ABS install. In my case, I didn't install the extra harness to...
I'll say that if you want to register an imported car in California, just don't bother and get a domestic car. Any import doesn't meet CARB emissions standards and it will take months and many thousands of dollars to get the car compliant & registered, even though a Honda NSX is functionally the...
Thanks!
Getting the rack out was very easy for me just by taking off the rad pipe bracket bolts, I don't see how someone had so much trouble that they dented the pipe like that but 🤷♂️. Reinstallation was more difficult but it was only because it was more challenging to get the bolt holes...
NSX EPS Rack Repair
This will probably be my last big project in my workshop home away from home since purchasing the car back in 2020 since I should be moving into my own garage with a house attached next month :).
I sent off my EPS rack to NSX Rack Repair about 2 weeks ago. This was a long...
Sorry for coming in too late, but yes the JDM headlight bulbs are H1 style, not 9006... I did the same thing when I first ordered my LED replacement bulbs. I haven't replaced the high beams yet.
I could also probably adjust the headlight beams higher but hadn't gotten around to it :). The US...
Thanks, they were one of the only places I was considering buying from. They made a good profit on the car for sure but they also did a surprising amount of maintenance and clean-up before putting it up for sale which was much appreciated. New tires, spark plugs, valve cover gaskets, power...
New Challenger Approaching!
Something something not NSX related, so I'll keep these posts to a minimum. But I bought a Toyota Century :D. It's a 1998 G50 V12 model with around 74k miles, all original, one owner car.
(Starting the drive back home from VA to GA at the end of Dec 2023.)
This is...
Back in the ATL
Hullo everyone, quick update time.
I found the time to install most of the interior bits from my last post except for the door card stuff. There's at least 5+ different minor projects I want to do with the door cards off (NSX-R trim, door lock pins, alcantara re-trimming...
Minor Parts Hoarding Updates & Shows
Quick update for the peoples.
Attending Caffeine & Exotics at AMP back in October but I never posted it. Great day and good times were had, plus a few parade laps on the track which felt a bit odd after the NSXPO track day here the previous month.
Yeaaaah...
Catch you there!
Thanks for the recommendation, I will look into those for my next pad swap. If anything, the EGC yellows seem to last for quite a while.
Also late reply to bump the next update to pg. 16 ;)
Me too! Hope I can make it to Dallas next year, that should be nearby to you too ;). Thanks a bunch.
Thanks! The one that gets me too is that the passenger door auto-locks once the car starts moving and has to be manually unlocked lol. It's just as weird for me to be in the passenger seat on...
Chin Track Days @ Atlanta Motorsports Park - NSXPO 2023
Here's a few videos of my first trackday experience in any car at AMP. I've always wanted to take the NSX on track and figured there'd be no better opportunity than an NSXPO event at one of my "home" tracks. I did one backwards parade lap...
NSXPO 2023 'Lanna Georgia
My first NSXPO fittingly hosted in my hometown, so I didn't have an excuse to be absent. This post will be pictures and I'll put videos in the next one.
Day 1 - 9/28/23
My first track day! Hosted by Chin Track Days at Atlanta Motorsports Park. Up nice and early at 6AM...
Prep for NSXPO 2023
I'm back! And I have plenty of pics & videos saved up from this year's NSXPO in Atlanta.
First off, some prep work for NSXPO, specifically the track day on 9/28 held by Chin Track Days at Atlanta Motorsports Park.
-Oil change w/Valvoline VR-1
-Brake fluid flush w/Motul RBF...
Thanks guys. What I'll most likely do is take apart the transmission case during my drivetrain/general refresh I keep delaying while living away in CO, now early '24.
Pretty much all the 5th gear parts besides the shift fork were new but I'll check to see if there's anything obviously wrong...
Hey Prime-mates,
I'm having an issue with my 5-speed transmission 2-3 years after I rebuilt it. At the moment, while shifting into 5th gear above ~40mph, my synchro doesn't seem to engage properly at first and I get a gear grind or buzz for a second going into gear. Regardless it always ends up...
Thanks! I think the relative wheel speed should be about the same for the same diameter & aspect ratio tire, does width matter? I'd say my speedo was +/- 1mph vs. GPS speed beforehand.
Quick update after a short trip back to the homeland in GA - as expected my stay in Denver was extended until this November so my poor car will have been mostly sitting for a year. Still hoarding those rebuild parts, and adding even more to the list ;).
Ready for a nice weekend on the town, I...
I created a CAD file based on the gasket dimensions and had an online machine shop make 3 of them, one of which is lost in the mail, posted some info about it on my build thread post #350
Nice, glad it fits properly 😁. I won't even get to install mine for another few months. Tried to make it thick enough so that it wouldn't warp from the heat.
