    Parts for sale

    I have in addition to a new never installed JB4 unit for $650 shipped, several other parts. If you have a 2017 NC1, and want Acura Link, then you need the newer Telematic unit. I have one that sells for $1400+ new. Mine is used from a later model car. Selling for $750 shipped. Also have a...

    Illuminated door still

    I just purchased the Carbon Fiber Illuminated Door Stills. I plan on installing myself. I reviewed the install sheets but wondered about cutting the carpet. I pulled up the carpet and it appears that the parts to be cut/removed are identified. I wondered if I needed a template. One does not...

    Just hit 12,000 miles

    It has been a year since my last oil change. I am still at 80%of oil life. Nevertheless I took my car in to my local Acura, that finally got a trained NSX Tech. I decided to change the oil, duel motor (trans fluid), the Transmission and rear end (trans fluid, and gear oil). I live in the...

    Titanium lug bolts

    I have SOS spacers 12.5mm front and 20mm on the rear. So finding Titanium lug bolts has been challenging. Acer Racing offers Titanium lug bolts for 2017-2021 NC1 OEM wheels but not for OEM wheels and spacers. I happen to check the other day and Porsche 911 Titanium Lugs will probably work...

    Type S NSX on BAT

    Well, it did not take too long before someone (Dealer) put a Type S NSX for sale. Should draw a lot of interest. Shame to the dealer for not letting a devoted NSX fan purchase this car. https://bringatrailer.com/listing/2022-acura-nsx-type-s-8/

    New Z06 travels 53 miles before engine dies

    This an interesting story. The guy who owned a C8 gets his dream car, a Z06 and drives it home only to have the engine fail. He paid $70,000 upcharge for the privilege at a Chevrolet Dealership. None of the Z06 engines are dyno run like our NSX engines. Probably could have saved this from...

    McLaren Artura

    Just reviewed the specs on the new Artura. It is lightweight at 3300 lbs. and puts out over 670 hp. And it can drive up to 11 miles per the battery. Wow! And it can do 0 to 60 mph in 2.9 to 3.0 secs. Also the 1/4 mile in around 10.7 secs. And this is a clean sheet design from McLaren. The...

    Comptech Supercharger question

    A friends 97 with Comptech Supercharger is not putting out full power. They thought it might be a vaccine leak, but cannot find location. I recall at one time that there is a large hose? In the intake manifold that connects to the Supercharger. if old the hose can distort and prevent full...

    Upgrading our NC1s

    Obviously there is a lot of interest in the Type S NC1, however there are only 350 of those vs almost 3000 2017 through 2021 cars. Acura improved the 2019 and newer cars leaving those of us with 2017 and 2018 cars as originally designed. My 2017 has Eibach sway bars front and rear and may...

    What to do if you get a flat

    While I have Auto Club for towing, the question about what to do if I ever get a flat has been haunting me for a while. If we take our car to the NSXPO in Arizona, I feel the need to have a plan. I hate the idea of using the green crap that comes with the car. It is a real mess to remove...

    MotorTrend compares the 2022 Type S NSX to the 2022 Porsche Carrera GTS

    To say the least, MotorTrend is not a fan of the Acura NSX whether the Type S or any of the NC1s. They pretty much shit all over the Type S. I did note that they were careless in suggesting that the base price of the Type S was the as tested price when comparing it to other Porsches. It was...

    2022 Acura NSX Type-S full race run at PPIHC

    Had to share this. Be prepared to hold on to your seat and not breath for the next 11 plus minutes. This guy has balls that must be very large. Blew my mind! Nick Robinson stated that the car was stock, just lightened a bit. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2rEbAXE9Px8

    Noise from the rear wheels. Solutions

    I had this problem-a clicking noise, and for me it turned out to be the center caps not being tightly bound. Others found some corrosion at the wheel hub. I saw this note from Chris Wilson in his response to someone asking if the wheel spacers were the cause of the noise. I tried to post a...

    Windshield film

    Ever since getting my car back in 2019, I have often wondered why it sometimes felt like visibility through the windshield was not always super clear. I would clean the inside but that did not improve the situation. The other day my radar suction cup popped off as the car had sat in the sun for...

    Acura Long Beach Grand Prix

    The Acura Grand Prix in Long Beach had a lot of NSX people show up. I had a chance to park at the Acura Corral next to a number of NSXs including a few Type S NSXs. One fellow drove non stop from Portland, OR to participate. I took a few pics. The corral had about 50 cars. I only took a...

    DCH Acura in Tustin, CA

    I took my car in to Tustin Acura to have them look over my car while it is still in the original warranty period. Sarah Posell is the Service Manager there. She is the best! She is having her techs look at every inch of my car for any carbon fiber that is yellowing or any component that...

    Gas gage stopped working

    I posted on the Facebook Second Generation about my issue and thought I would share what transpired here. I normally keep our two cars gassed up with never less then a half a tank. A habit I took on because of the gas lines of the 70s. Anyway this last time around I filled up the NSX from just...

    The yellow mostly optioned car with 2600 miles just sold for $191k which includes the $5000 Auction cost to the buyer. I suspected it would go close to 200k. It had all options except for all leather seats. The MSRP price was $198k. The car probably sold for $170k new as it was almost a year...

    Clicking or creaking noise from drive train solved

    I have noticed ever since I have had this car that especially in EV mode I can hear a click or creak with what appears to be a revolution of the wheel. I was able to eliminate the noise from the front wheel. It is definitely from the rear. I have posted in the past and heard that it was rust...
