The plastic snapping sound is most likely one of the air diverting flaps getting jammed. Mine does this when I switch the car on after leaving it diverting to the face, it never makes a sound otherwise even cycling through the diagnostic test.
My solution...never turn the car off with the air diverted towards the face...

Hi All

Getting into some better weather so feeling good. I put the Bridgestone on the car, feels good. Regarding the Engine light and TCS light I have worked the errors out to be:

Wheel Sensor FL
Rear O2 Sensor

The dealer also said a worst case would be the TCS Unit. Does the 2 sensors above tally up with you guys too? I have checked all the part numbers they seem to match the Acura parts. Are they identical? Presuming they are all coming from Japan. If this is the case, should get the parts from the States?

In the past few weeks I had a new boot seal, tyres and a CAT heat shield.

Thank you guys for all your advice

I've yet to try the Advans in standing water but in the gentle wet, they're amazing. Possibly too much grip in the dry.

The 'Stones on the S2000 are a bit more slippery, to say the least. I'd not be happy mixing RE40s & 50s personally - I'd expect that may make it a tad twitchy at the rear. Firm sidewalls, though.

The F1As are terrific, but I fear the sidewalls may be a bit too soggy for the NSX. They are brilliant on the Prelude.

Advans are good but prefer warmer weather

F1's I really liked and got great mileage from. Worked well despite softer sidewalls but I do have the Targa which has more compliance than the coupe so this may explain why others have not liked them.

Hi Kirit,

Like you I have recently bought an NSX and it seems to be your sister car. '98 Honda UK cars in Imola orange, mine is R462 ULL, however was changed to J888 NSX. The car came with plenty of history, including a log book from a previous owner who was an Autocar director documenting every journey he made! What a machine hey?!

I have also got the on / off air con. Like someone else has commented, it is just a melted circuit board, denpending on damage can be repaired. Mines still to sort out, but have spoken to KAZ and he has me on his health check list. After speaking to a few people from the forum about this, he is miticulous and second to none. Will be good to see him at work.
Rear tyres were bald F1's when i got it, so cant really comment on them. I have just swapped them for Advan AD08 like most people have on their NSX's. Off to Scotland this weekend, so will update you on how they perform!
I live in Derby and quite often visit my bro in Coventry, so next time I'm down those ways I will give you a shout.

Hi Everyone

Pav thank you for the hello we should meet up if you are passing through, same for anyone who would like to meet up please pm me.

At the moment I am trying to iron out all the niggles on the car. The cash flow is a problem sometimes.

I still have the heater problem so need to book myself with KAZ. I threw a set of Bridgestones on the car in the end. The ABS light is an 02 sensor and the TCS light was found to be a sensor, but replacing that did not cure the problem. I have been told the car needs a TCS unit. Once sorted I can get onto the other bits.

Regarding the horrid snapping sound from the heating system, does anyone know what it exactly is, if its easy to fix or a massive job?

I have been snowed under with work so unable to arrange meeting anyone from the forum but I hope to do so. I have found p27 in another encyclopaedia book. (Still to post all the articles)

P27 was on display at Coventry University on 9th June, I was asked at the last minute, but was nicely parked next to Mugen CRZ.



Looking forwards to catching up with everyone.

See my post above. Try leaving the diverter flaps in a different position before you switch the engine off.

I would think if the flap is broken, it's time to take out the dash but I'm wondering whether you could see anything jammed or broken if you remove just the centre console.

The original S-02s on the S2000 were lethal in the cold, so I'm used to that with the Advans!. Fince once they've warmed up a bit!
