    Help wanted: Advan Racing RS wheels, brake caliper clearance

    brandonson, many thanks for your hint ! The stoptech caliper (ST40) looks very similar to the Movit 4s3 caliper in terms of outline and outer dimensions. I did visit the Stoptech website, excellent customer support ! According to outline drawing for their NSX kit the caliper protrudes abt...

    Help wanted: Advan Racing RS wheels, brake caliper clearance

    Do some among you have the Advan RS wheel combo 8x17 with 37mm offset (front) and 10x18 with 35mm offset (rear) on your cars and could give me some help by measuring the distance (clearance) between wheel spokes inner edges and brake discs outer side, forward and rear ? I need to know whether...

    Just test drove my first NSX...

    Have the car lifted up and turn the wheels by hand. By this way you may find out/determine whether the noise is coming from the breaks or wheel bearings. If it's caused by the bearings you should hear some sort of clicking/grinding sound, at least when the damage has been developed far enough to...

    Different badge for the next NSX?

    same here... NSX is a Honda !! I wish the new model to be badged the same way the current ('old') NSX is here in Europe: 'H' (Honda) decals at front and rear end and 'NSX' lettering at the rear end. Nothing else.

    Different badge for the next NSX?

    This is not true, at least partly. If I am not wrong here 1st (SA/FB) and 2nd (FC) gen RX-7's were sold under the 'Savanna' label and 3rd gen's (FD) under the 'Efini' label in Japan only. For the rest of the world, at least for Europe and US I am absolutely sure about this, all three...

    92NA1, audio problem... need help

    My '92NA1 had been stored away for 14 monthes. Today I charged and re-installed the battery, then started the car... everything seemed fine; engine cranked and fired immediately at the first try. Now the strange thing happened is when I turned on the audio system (pushed the ON button) an...

    NSX-racer, until you got your you Mac's OS updated, there is a nice quick link for many conversion factors, not only but mainly those of physical units: http://www.chemie.fu-berlin.de/chemistry/general/units.html sorry to all the others for being off topic.

    1995-1996 vs 1997-1999 NSX

    My '92 NA1 is rated at 201 kW which equals to 273,28 DIN-PS. AFAIK all '91~'96 Euro (german) models are rated at this power. '97~current models too seem all to be rated the same here, but at 206 kW = 280,08 PS. (1 kW = 1.359622 DIN-PS) andy l. '92 NA1 red/blk '92 RX-7 FD silver '95 RX-7 FD red

    New Drift King (Keiichi Tsuchiya) Interview (NSX Comments)

    I think he got it right, what he's saying should be read as: NEW drift king INTERVIEW = a new interview with the drift king On his site it says: "Exclusive Interview: The Drift King Keiichi Tsuchiya", not 'new' drift king

    Purist VS Enthusiasts

    No, they won't brake nor will they be going blind nor will the glasses be significantly chipped, if at all. I have the OEM fog lights (European model) on the car for 12 years/62kmiles mostly driven at hig speeds (autobahn). No issues. Seems they are pretty good quality. andy l.

    bad mouthing nsx on wikipedia

    I think they targeted quite well at the Ferrari 348 and later at the 355. Now, if the NSX just had 100hp more the others would have been no comparision, as well as almost anything else available at that time. But then, back in 1992 the sportiest/raciest car was the Mazda RX-7 FD, no doubt, let...

    Need procedure to start engine on a 2 year stored NSX

    i don't know for two years, but i do know for up to 16 monthes... cars not being jacked up, tire pressure 3,2 bar: tires perfectly round. if they were even a little 'squared' or flattened i would have noticed for sure when doing high speed driving. now, this might have been luck and must not be...

    Need procedure to start engine on a 2 year stored NSX

    I don't think it does much since you might be able to lubricate the cylinder/piston ring surface somewhat (rather little than much) but it does absolutely nothing to any other of the many lubricating points in the engine. You can not squirt too much oil in there or you might end up with your...

    Need procedure to start engine on a 2 year stored NSX

    i don't see any difference for the "there isn't any oil" thing... whether the car was sitting for a week or a year, the oil is just back to the pan. there is wear on any such engine start, the engine is designed for that. Now, using a preluber would eliminate that wear thus most probably making...

    Need procedure to start engine on a 2 year stored NSX

    I am in the unfortunate situation that I have to frequently store my cars away for periods of usually 8~9 monthes, sometimes up to one year, and I have nobody to start up or drive them all the time. The longest storage period ever was 16 monthes. I just start them up and drive to my DIY...

    top speed question

    mmhh... i am having wind noise at high speed and i think my windshield and door windows are properly adjusted. but i never find it even close to being disturbing. maybe that means i am not having a "noise issue" as well...? after all it is a matter of the noise LEVEL when it starts becoming an...

    top speed question

    You can drive Germany from the very north to south and back, autobahn A7 for example... and try to go top speed as much and as long as you can... depending on the day of the week (on sunday's there are no trucks allowed before 22:00 except those with special permission) and time of the day...
