"Clunking" sound

Never had this problem myself. I leave the car sometimes 2 weeks between driving, handbrake on, wet in the garage.

The sticking pads and discs will all depend on what pad and disc combo you have. We never had any problem with the wife's TT but with my Impreza I had some really bad problems! Including once the car just would not move they were so stuck together! On the NSX it has ocurred a only a few times.

AFAIK I have a full OEM setup.

I agree, its just the brake pads sticking.

It happened all the time when i washed the car and didnt drive it for a few days/weeks.

Nothing to worry about.

I agree with the stuff about not using the handbrake (I once killed the calipers on my old Citroen AX by leaving it with the handbrake on for a few months - doh!)

But also remeber that the pads float very close to the discs all the time so even with the handbrake off if you leave it for a long time rust can build up and stick to the pads (and at the least you will experience a light grinding noise when you first run it again which is the rust being worn off the discs). One solution (not very practical I know) is never to leave it idle for a long time if you have just driven it it wet weather. Porsche Boxsters have a real issue with this and lots of people have been stung for new discs or skimming after wrecking them; it doesn't sound like the NSX is anything like as bad in this respect.

(The real solution is to use your NSX everyday! Cars need driving!)
