    I'm also a fan of all cars. Pretty much the only hobby I have at the moment. I have opinions, I dislike many cars because the ones I've worked on weren't as fun or forgiving as my honda.

    I base all other cars off my 2000 Civic Si. I don't like New Si's because of the drive by wire. I dont like the TL because of the price, I like the TSX because of the options and the 2.4 liter 30mpg and it's sexy.

    I could compare cars all day. But they're just my opinions and I'm bored and I'm gonna go eat some food.

    I doubt there are current NSX owners rummaging through junkyards trying to find parts for their car.

    "Dang Rusty! I just found me one dem Type R roof intake thingies for my NSX over his by the '32 ford, I'll be damned!"

    New TSX will be great as long as it's 4 cylinder motor is kept and not swapped for a v6... I'd very much like it if Honda would make more inline 6 motors.

    Do you cry sometimes cause carburetors and drum brakes are gone too?

    Unreal and Boring....... So a 1990 generation NSX that which had one of the greatest chassis of all time but was chocked by the now defunct Japan gentleman's agreement of a 276 hp limit, and had to resort to a 3.0 Liter NA v6 instead of using their dominating 1988-1991 Formula 1 experience an making a V8, V10, V12 that would have served that car much better till this day. The $90,000 car with only 300hp debate would have never happened.

    I know it's your opinion, but your off. Badly.

    the Rl wont survive it doesnt get a v8, neither will the Ridgeline.. but its all specualation because honda is/was testing a production model V8 motor for the ridgeline/Rl.

    As long as there is money, there will be a market for parts. Anyone could have said the same thing about the first imports.

    i specifically bought an AP1 because I wanted the stay with the throttle cable system and have good tunability. granted, i want to have a great lap time, i would rather have a slightly slower lap time and enjoy every minute knowing i made the car perform the way it did than to win with computers guiding my way.
    umm.. wasnt the 05 ap2 cable throttle? correct me if im wrong, because if thats the reason you bought an ap1 you may have messed up. aside from that, the only reason you should have an ap1 is the higher redline, which was lowered for the ap2, i believe, but again, correct me if im wrong.
    Yeah, I know.

    Not trying to bully but i really liked to hear an explanation for these two. A real one, Not i don't like it just cause.

    What exactly is the problem you have with a many piston setup. You do realize that it would be better for a VTec system as well for very high rpms. Like above 8-9K rpm. Just look at the new M3.

    Right over your head, dude... right over your head.

    Jeremy brought his car out to a meet a few weeks ago with it's Gwinnett Place Nissan temp. tag still on the car. The comment was supposed to be funny because his car is NOT a RHD model and he got it just like everyone else here in the US is getting it and that they are all imported from Japan......

    I was aware many months ago that COBB had a pre-release model.

    as i said, i bought the ap1 for the cable and tunability. the ap2 04-05 had a very hard to deal with computer. you are correct though, the 04-05 were still cable driven. the redline for the ap2 was lowered because honda stepped up to a 2.2L motor and reduced the redline for reliability (however some have argued that 8500 is a more apt number)

    the new GTR is nice just not all that great. like all threads about a car once again I.A ppl go way off base and lose touch with what was started. But that makes for a few good laughs so oh well. Thanks for damn good laughs oh btw plz dont always refer to wiki for answer to a damn car question just go to the car makers site and get the info you need.( needed to go off base to fit in)
