Don't suppose anyone has some time this week to give me a hand with my power steering. I've already put a longer coolant overflow hose on and checked the connectors, but I'm not the greatest with electrical. I also need to replace one of my tire pressure sensors if anyone has a spare laying around.

Coming up on my inspection date and evidently they want this fixed...

You need to go to a different inspection place. Also you need to remove the tires to get to the TPMS.

The power steering issue can be a simple fix. Why do you think your TPMS sensors are bad?

One of the TPMS sensors has been replaced with a rubber valve stem. Sounds like the guy I bought the car from kissed a curb and took one out. Not a big deal, but I'm tired of looking at the light on the dash.

I'd still like to work on the steering issue, but any suggestions on an inspection place that might pass it before I get it fixed? (PM me if you don't want to post it on the forum)

You should be able to just buy one TPMS sensor on Ebay or something. I don't think the power steering issue or the TPMS issue would keep you from passing inspection.

Meah. its more a matter of spending a bunch of money at once. I worry that I will run into more issues after the install that will cost me more money.

The NSX is bad *** and i would be happy to drive it every day. That being said its not a every day car. I would hate to give the keys over to some parking attendant.

When I think about it a bit more it is the best car i can think of to drive to and from where ever but not the kind of car i would feel conformable parking down town.

You need a sleeper car then. There has to be some sort of crappy car that you can do a motor/suspension swap on and it become a monster but still have that cruddy exterior.

**** parking attendants

I would never let a valet touch my car. My bosses nephew is a parking attendant at a high end resort and the stories he tells me are insane.
