Q: What would be a good first car?
I was wondering if a used 91 Acura nsx or a used FC RX7 would be a smart choice since its a first car and all.
please post suggestions for cars that are reliable and are similiar along the lines of the ones above
thanks all in advance
A: A 1991 Acura was a great car but it’s life is over.
The repair bill will offset any extra you will pay for a newer one.
Chevrolet Impala gets 30mpg and is star 5 crash tested. It has a low insurance symbol which rates are based on. A Mustang is 21 and a Jeep Wrangler is an 11. If you don’t mind the mpg a Jeep TJ is safe and dependable.
Have your mechanic check anything out first. The best $70 you have ever spent.
PS-take a flashlight and look for rust under the seats- if present walk away-flood car!
Be careful and take a trusted friend or parent.
Q: Why doesn’t honda use turbochargers at least on their sports cars?
I understand Honda is committed to staying green and of course being reliable, but why haven’t they used turbo on any production cars? They have Honda NSX, S2000, Acura RSX Type-S, TL Type-S. Is it just to say they have the fastest smallest liter naturally aspirated engines? If other car companies can make turbos and be fairly reliable I’m sure Honda can do it too and keep its reliable image. It seems they’re holding back.
A: yeah whatver you say t-14…thats why a normally aspirtated RSX-S is .4 seconds faster on the 1/4 mile than the turbocharged hyundai quatra 2.0T that has 80 more tq? or why its also faster than the 4.0L V6 mustang that has TWICE the displacement, 2 more cylinders, and nearly 100 tq more? yes, honda really sucks in comparison. btw, the 5 seconds it took you to type up that post made you miss the short bus.
when comparing I4s, honda can accomplish with NA what other companies have to use turbo for… so why not? honda does have one turbocharged motor, the k23a1 which is in the acura RDX (a SUV). NA is what honda knows and does well, even though their engines work very well with turbos (such as the 1000WHP civic thats had stories about it in every import and tuner magazine out there…thats 250WHP per cylinder,ive yet to see another brand of motor boast that).
Q: Why doesn’t Acura make any convertibles (and coupes)?
Acura is a little different than other luxury brands. None of its cars have V8 engines or RWD. What bothers me the most is that Acura doesn’t have any ’sporty’ offerings for a brand that used to be quite sporty. Where’s the coupes and convertibles? What happened to the RSX and NSX? Those would have made good convertibles. Even the parent company Honda only offers one convertible, the S2000. Is Honda against lowered tops or something?
A: Honda simply feels that there isn’t enough of a market to justify putting in the research and development costs to create these. The S2000 is a nice car, but it isn’t enough to hold the company afloat. Designing their Civic, Accord, etc to be better is, in their opinion, going to help them in the long run rather than developing a sporty high performance car, since for every sports car, they sell loads of people movers. They developed the NSX, and it lasted about 15 years. They are going to release a new car, based on the prototype ASCC, and it may have a convertible option, who knows.
Q: Help me with this differential problems?
Please help me to solve the following problems using integral (not using the theory from physics or so whatever)
1. An Acura NSX going at 70mph stops in 157 feet. Find the
acceleration, assuming it is constant.
2. On the moon, the acceleration due to gravity is about 1.6
m/sec^2 (compared to g = 9.8 m/sec^2 on earth). If you drop a
rock on the moon (with initial velocity 0), find formulas for:
a. it’s velocity, v(t), at time t
b. the distance, s(t), it falls in time t.
A: Vf^2=2*a*d+Vi^2
0=2a(47.85m)+4900
a= -51.0m/s^2
a) Vf= (-1.6m/s^2)t
b) X=1/2(-1.6m/s^2)t
Q: Out of these cars, which would make the best first car?
Before you go on ignoring these cars I feel like suggesting, please don’t go on recommending Japanese cars like Toyota Corollas, Honda Accords and Civics, Ford Focuses, etc, because I have a strong dislike for most of the models produced from these manufacturers.
I’m 17, and I’m looking for a luxury sporty coupe that offers a high level of prestige. I’m pretty much obsessed with Mercedes and BMWs, and that’s pretty much the standard level of cars in my town, since many people here view Mercedes and BMWs as the norm.
I’m looking for a used car for around $15-20k that would fit my criteria and would have a unique styling to impress friends or have people turning heads.
2006 Ford Mustang V6:

1995 BMW 840ci:

(I’m obsessed with the car’s unique combination of style, performance, and luxury, along with the fact that you don’t see these cars every day.)
2001 BMW 330ci:

1991 Acura NSX:

I realize there are other costs to worry about here as well, such as insurance, scheduled maintenance repairs, and gas, but the fact that I have a well paying job that gives me about $1000 a month let’s me cover those bases with little or no problem.
And based on past driving experiences with other cars, I can say that I am not a reckless driver whatsoever, and I don’t drink. I know there’s still risk at hand, but I believe I am up to the task of being able to handle a car of my own.
You have to be an idiot thinking that I would make that mistake about Fords being a Japanese manufacturer. I wanted to list my dislike of Fords in a separate sentence, but due to the character limit, I felt like putting it in the same sentence, and believing that everyone would have the common sense to tell that little error apart. Apparently not.
As for “performance mattering” you’re just putting words in my mouth. I never said it mattered, I just commented on the performance one of the cars being a plus. Besides, an 05-06 V8 Ford Mustang would be out of my price range.
A: I’d go with the 2001 BMW 330ci. Its just an excellent ride. But the best thing to do is just drive all of them and pick the one you like best.
Q: 2001 Mitsubishi eclipse turbo question?
I have a 2001 Mitsubishi Eclipse and i want to add a turbo to it, i have had this car for 3 years and im getting a acura nsx, im going to use the eclipse as a show/drag car at my local drag strip, i want this car to be able to handle up to 12 pounds of boost but i dont want to spend a whole lot of extra cash than whats necessary to complete the build. if it will be too costly to build something to handle 12 pounds of boost, what is my next best option?
A: well let me tell ya. i own a 2002 eclipse myself and I’ve done the research. it is wayyyy expensive to make a custom turbo kit for the car because there are no kits out there for the v6 engine. if you have a 4 cyl it’ll still cost a lot but it is easier. if i were you my best bet would be to sell the 3g eclipse and get a 2g gs-t or gsx. those already come with all the turbo parts and you can buy a turbo upgrade to run 12 psi. otherwise, you’d have to buy new injectors, pistons, valves, manifolds, etc for your eclipse (because it was intended to be NA
Q: Which car would you pick?
Which car would you pick that would be a second car and mostly used on the track, and the occasional city driving (like once a week)
NIssan 350z
Porsche 911 (996)
Acura NSX
Chevrolet Corvette (base not Z06)
The reason these cars are chosen is because their prices are similar. That’s why I didn’t include the Z06.
A: I’d most likely pick up Porche 911 (996) and Acura NSX since both are almost simlilar and look wise are truly good not too bulky either have good aerodynamics also are great sports cars but I think the turbo porsche has is incomparable to either of the cars u’ve listed and since u say the price of all the cars u’ve mentioned are similar then I’d go for either of these cars I’ve mentioned yet my first choice will be porsche due to the speed and lightness of the vehicle, it makes it ideal to drive once in a week with full on hard core speed lol wat say once a week u can truly race to ur hearts content
and it’s done with porsche no better then that
Q: Help Me With This Integral Problems?
1. If a car goes from 0 to 80mph in six seconds with constant
acceleration, what is that acceleration.
2. An acura NSX going at 70 moh stops in 157 feet. Find the
acceleration, assuming it is constant.
PLEASE SOLVE THIS PROBLEMS USING THE DEFINITION OF INTEGRAL AND DIFFERENTATION ONLY, NOT USING THE SPEED,ACCELERATION, AND VELOCITY THEORY.
A: acceleration=rate of change of velocity
=80*5280/3600*6ft/sec^2
=19.6 ft/sec^2
2.0=(70*5280/3600)^2-2f(157)
314s=67.1ft/s^2
Q: Differential Equations?
Help me to solve these three problems:
1.If a car goes from 0 to 80mph in six seconds with constant
acceleration, what is that acceleration?
2.An Acura NSX going at 70mph stops in 157 feet. Find the
acceleration, assuming it is constant.
3.A car going 80ft/sec (about 55 mph) brakes to stop in five
seconds. Assume the deceleration is constant. Find the total
distance traveled using antidifferentiation.
A: 1.
Convert 80 mph to feet per second: 80 * 5280 / 3600 = 117.333
a = (Vf – Vo) / t = (117.333 – 0) / 6 = 19.556 ft /sec^2
2.
Convert 70 mph to feet per second: 70 * 5280 / 3600 = 102.667
Vf^2 = V0^2 – 2*a*d
0 = 102.667^2 – 2*a*157
10540.44 = 314 a
a = 33.57 ft / sec^2
3. a = (Vf – Vo) / t = 80 / 5 = 16 ft/sec^2
V = 80 – 16t
Integrate that equation from 0 to 5
80t – 8t^2 = 80 * 5 – 8*25 = 200 ft
Q: Is this right or am I crazy?
Ok so a Honda nsx not Acura, Honda, is very rare but you can literally google Honda nsx for sale and I found a crap ton used, cheap, and low (depends on which one you look at) miles. I found a 91 I believe for 21 G’s with only 205 miles!!!
A: yep!
you’re crazy!
Q: Why are goods cheaper to purchase in the USA?
Even as a dual citizen, I’m still no clearer why this is the state of play.
e.g. this laptop (I now have to wait to purchase when I’m next stateside) is 840 ish pounds.
Link: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16834115679
In the UK, with THAT graphics card & processor, is like 1200 pounds.
I used to purchase all my Honda NSX parts there too (Acura over there but parts the same), for the same reason. I would have shipped an Acura if it had not been too much trouble to change left hand drive to right hand drive – and I did make enquiries!
And I’ll not even go into my extravagant hi-fi expenditure over the years….but safe to say ALL of it was imported, even cables.
So why why why???
Thanks in advance for your answers.
EDIT – I hardly belive VAT alone can justify the price differences we face.
A: Welcome to rip off Britain………….
Q: Which turbocharger is the best for me?
I have a 2006 acura RL and I fell like it could use a little more power. I have just begun researching turbocharger kits. I am pretty much clueless though as to which turbocharger or turbocharger kit I should get. Here are the three main things I have come up with so far:

http://www.yourhotcar.com/prod/HKS/Performance_Parts/Turbo_Charger_Kit/Universal_HKS_GT3037S_Ball-Bearing_Turbocharger/807788/
I really don’t want to spend the 2500 on a single turbocharger when it doesn’t include anything else. Are the two 500 dollar turbocharger kits going to give me enough power (This is a guess, maybe a second off of my 0-60) or should I simply go all out and buy the 2500 turbocharger and go to a performace shop to get the rest of the equipment I need.
(Or should I simply go to a performance shop and get everything there and avoid all of this)
I am really looking to get the maximum bang for my buck. Thanks.
Also, how much would the installation cost?
A: Go to a performance shop.
Turbo’s are a science not a hobby, there is so much involved in fitting a turbo to an engine. It’s not just a matter of bolting it on and away we go.
Q: What do you think about honda engines compared with german engines?
i mean its the biggest engine manufacturer in the world!!!! Many people say that german engines are way better than japanese. I believe that japanese engines have higher technology in there cars before german ones, like the nsx, s2000, hsv 10. And one thing that i like about honda’s tech is that they dont use turbocharged engines on ther commercial cars (civic si, accord coupe, s2000 only on the acura rdx), they really don’t need to do that instead they use normal compressed engines. am i right????
A: Germans manufacture the finest cars in the world, maybach, merc, bmw, porshe… etc. you can’t compare the maybach quality with mitsubishi, or daihatsu, or the merc liability with susuki or izuzu… as someone told before me, you just can’t compare pears with apples.
