FYI: My write-up on replacing the fluid in the Twin Motor Unit. http://www.nsxwiki.com/nsx-second-generation/twin-motor-unit-fluid-replacement/

I posted this in FB, but I thought I'd share it here too. So my one year anniversary with this car is coming up tomorrow. Just thought I'd share some statistics. Total mileage: 10,300 km (~6400miles) Fuel costs: $1810 (all values in CAD) Ave fuel economy: 10.9 L/100km (21.5mpg) Best: 9.5...

Sent an email requesting access to the 2nd Gen NSX owner's forum a couple of weeks ago, haven't heard anything yet. Just wondering if this is normal? Are no more members being allowed in?

Just wondering if any current NSX owner can confirm the size of the thread of the wheel bolts. Thinking of picking up some wheel hanger pins. I'm guessing M12x1.5 that is typical of other Hondas?

A journalist crashed a pre-production NSX in Taiwan. Driver blamed bees. http://jalopnik.com/is-this-the-first-public-crash-of-the-2017-acura-nsx-1787352002 The car hit the guard rail hard enough to set off the airbags.

The NSX was tested on VIR as part of C&D's annual Lightning Lap test. It posted a time of 2:50.2. This places the car 17th out of 201 lap times in the 10 years of lightning laps that the magazine has done. Still no instrumented review though, so it will most likely show up in the November issue.

Was sent this link by a neighbour who was originally from Australia. The expected price for the NSX is around $400K? http://www.drive.com.au/motor-news/honda-nsx-to-cost-400kplus-20160708-gq1gx1.html That is like double the price of the US or Canadian car. What the hell is going on in...

According to this article, production started April 1. Assuming that it takes 1 to 2 weeks for the first cars to make its way out of the assembly line, the first cars should be shipped soon. Other interesting nuggets in the article: 160 pre-production cars were built, some will be used as...

From Motrotrend: http://www.motortrend.com/news/leno-seinfeld-near-front-line-acura-nsx/

Review itself is OK, although it is interesting to hear that he wasn't impressed with launch control. However, what really captured my attention is how incredible the Valencia Red looks in the sunlight. It seemed hard to justify spending $6k (or worse, $7300 for us Canucks) on paint, but after...

Pretty funny. Nice legs though.

Found these on the net. Looks like some more renderings shown at the SAE exhibit earlier this year. Space frame: Surprising amount of steel for the roof. Power units: I think these are the sound tubes that pipe sound toward the cockpit area. Looks pretty complicated. According...

Saw this on Edmunds. http://www.edmunds.com/car-news/2017-acura-nsx-to-star-in-super-bowl-commercial.html Basically a blurb about how Acura will have another Superbowl commercial for 2016. However, it has this one line: "Select Acura dealers will start taking orders for the NSX by the end...

Interesting tidbits from this article, surprising to read that the block and heads are made by cosworth rather than in the US. http://www.autoblog.com/2015/08/15/acura-nsx-cosworth-engine-block-details/ "The car uses parts sourced globally, and one of those sources is Cosworth. The engine...

Press release from Acura: http://www.acura.com/PressReleaseArticle.aspx?year=2015&id=8575-en Acura to Infuse its Presence Throughout the 2015 Monterey Automotive Week with Full Display of Luxury Performance Vehicles and Motorsports Heritage TORRANCE, Calif. - 7/17/2015 Next-generation...

Since we are probably several months away from getting more information on this car, I've been wondering what you think will be standard, and what would be optional, on this car. Starting with brakes, the carbon ceramic rotors will almost certainly be an option, and likely a pricey one...

My NSX is gone, off to its new owner. I've owned her for just over 6 years, and put about 16k miles on her with most of that accruing on the drive home and on a trip to Mojave, CA to participate in an Extreme 200 event. Apart from those 2 trips, there were a handful of track days at a crappy...

New track being developed near Osoyoos. Still a bit far from Vancouver Island, but better than Mission or going to the States. http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/british-columbia/jacques-villeneuve-designs-race-track-near-osoyoos-1.2977273?cmp=rss edit: Looking further into it, it looks like you...

According to this: http://www.edmunds.com/car-news/acura-dealers-to-stress-personalization-with-2016-acura-nsx.html there will be many options available to personalize the new NSX a. However, what worries me is the part about how dealers will require a special lift for the car. Seriously...

So, these are the highest-res images of the Honda press photos I could find. I've been staring at these for most of the day, and I have to say, this is one seriously gorgeous car. For those who say this car is ugly, I don't know, either something is wrong with your eyes or your brain. The red...

So the 2016 Miata has been revealed, but the specs have not been released. Rumours are that it will weigh about 2300 lbs. Gotta say, it doesn't look half bad. In fact, I'm torn between this and the new NSX. http://jalopnik.com/here-are-the-official-pics-of-the-2016-mazda-miata-1630339600

I had a recent cold hesitation/misfire condition over the winter. So I decided to replace the igniter, coils, and spark plugs. The car has just shy of 24k miles on it, but figured that it wouldn't hurt to replace the coils and igniter, just in case. I was worried when I removed the coils, and...

The Fedex truck just dropped these off. These are metal prints of some pics I got off the internet. These are printed on aluminum panels, so anywhere there is white in the picture, the underlying aluminum shows through. Unfortunately, these photos really don't do them justice. Very hard to...

So, after a couple of days washing and waxing my NSX, I decided to take it for a spin, then stopped off to grab a bite to eat. When I returned, I was greeted with this: Now, it wouldn't be bad if it was crap from a bald eagle (because eagles are cool), but it was probably from a crow, which...
