All I found behind the spare tire was an empty round hamster wheel.
Sorry, we're talking about the NSX, not the ferrari or corvette.
thanks Todd
The NSX is a hybrid car. Look in the trunk and you will see that the trunk floor is very high. That's because there is a series of 48 batteries underneath, which power an electric motor. The NSX runs on battery power at lower speeds, and the gas engine is off. When you are at maximum acceleration, based on the angle of the accelerator and the RPM level, the gas engine starts and adds power to the electric. The electric motor is the equivalent of 130 hp, and the gas engine adds another 270 (for the '91-96, 290 for the '97-05), for a total of 400 hp when needed.
No No No No Ken - you need to reread the manual.
When you do that, you will see that as air enters the side vents due to vehicular motion, it turns a fan which is connected to the rear wheels. Each fan and wheel system is independant of the other, which is why sometimes you will feel that your car wants to turn in one direction only. If you have a side wind, air really only enters one side of the car and only one wheel turns.
We have the worlds first wind powered car.
The OP may find the battery up front, but that ONLY powers the clock as the original designers found it annoying to have to set the time everytime the car stopped.

Just listen to you guys. A fellow NSX Prime Member asks a simple question that he needs help with and you guys just get carried away. Both of you should be ashamed of yourselves.
The battery is in the remote, and it is 12 volt.
Brad:biggrin:
Are we sure he is a sincere prime member? I mean it could be that he is trying to boost an NSX... since he doesn't seem to know the car... and we're helping him out.... LOL. Just kidding. I had to b/c my brother's Integra type R was just stolen a few months ago.
No no no, it's located under the trunk floor like ken states. However it's not to start the car or power the car, so Ken is WAY off. The batteries only purpose is to power the undercar green neons that also act as anti gravity tubes that help the car hover and glide. To start the car is simple, you simply remove the tire iron from the toolbox in the trunk above the batteries. With that, you insert it into the hole located behind the plastic cover in the front bumper. Then give the crank a hard whirl and voila! You're off!
While you are at it read up on this, lots of good info in the wiki section...:smile:

BTW, If you have an owners manual, I would spend time and review it also, otherwise you might want to buy one on ebay. Lots of good info there too.

Liar... just ran out to the garage in hope of starting my car for the first time. Grabbed that tire iron and gave it a good hundred whirls. I whirled it clockwise, and I whirled it counterclockwise. All I got was a bunch of scratches on my bumper.
Duh dummies! I said remove the little cover first! Not jam it through the bumper! Maybe you might of misunderstood me. Especially since there is the misunderstanding that it's commonly called a "tow hook cover".
If that doesn't work, you can always remove the floorboard covers on both driver and passenger side. Lower feet through cover till it reachs the ground and both occupants give it a nice scamper. Always work, won't fail.

Doh! Guess I should have read it better. I was too excited in thinking I can get my car moving.
Anyways, tried removing the floorboard covers. What a PITA! Had to use metal shears and only did the driver's side. Finally got the car out to the street that had a nice little down hill grade. Stuck my feet through and gave it a good push. Whooo Heeeee, I was moving!
One small problem. I tried to slow down, so I firmly placed both feet down, only to have them fold under the car, breaking both of ankles, and grinding off all my toes! I remembered that we have an emergency brake, but couldnt reach it for, when my feet went under the car, it pivoted me forward, smashing my face into the steering wheel. I now have a permanent Acura logo impressed on my forehead now.
You know, some companies actually will PAY people to have a tattoo with their logo showing. Maybe Acura will hook it up since the symbol is now permanent?
That model is called the FliNtStonXe Edition. :smile:
