    Good from far, but far from good...

    Shipping - When I purchased my car from West Palm Beach FL, I bought it sight unseen. The car carrier ended up being a no show the date the car was supposed to be picked up from the dealership. The next date was delayed. I decided to buy a plane ticket and drive her back to chicago. I...

    For Sale for 6 years!

    I think you are missing the point. There are people for whom an NSX is their dream car and wouldn't want a lambo or ferrari. If I won the lottery I would buy the 2004 on autotrader with 1500 miles for 72k in a heartbeat because its the closest thing to new I can get. Why would someone buy a...

    Turbo/SC emissions question

    Do you know about Illinois emission law as well. Since meeting with you I went to a testing facility but each person there seemed to have a different answer. A list of states with pass / non-passable criteria will definitely be useful on prime!!

    Lemme get this straight - The OP said he's been looking for an NSX for 6 years, then 3 days after posting this thread he already moved on? :cool: Hope we didn't just waste our time... then again, I enjoyed talking about the NSX so whatever. J

    Good from far, but far from good...

    First of all, I agree with you: there are good deals out there. My point is that the number of GREAT deals is small. A few extra dollars opens up a lot of great cars. 97-05's are going to cost more than that. There are more good NA2's than NA1's for a reason. They are newer! The longer...

    For Sale or Trade - 97 OEM Shift Knob

    I am trying to locate a 2004-05 OEM heavy shift knob... If I can trade with someone, we can both save some money! If you are looking for an OEM shifter, I think they sell for 135 or so, will sell for 95+ shipping/paypal to help me pay for the rediculous cost of the new one I want. Jason...

    I can't agree more with you! I looked around at a lot of "reasonably priced NSX's" and then realized why I was finding so much garbage... what I thought was reasonable and what the car is really worth are two different concepts. Sure, I would have loved to only spend 30, but lets face it...

    Finally Got My Car and Impressions compared to s2k.

    Just so you know, the Avans are a little pricey. The only reason I got them instead of the "star specs" was because they were on sale and it only cost me an extra 100 bucks. They are equal from what I have heard, so the star specs are a better choice. That being said, I love my tires:)...

    NSX Factory Pics!

    Great pictures - thanks for sharing. God I wish I was in a position to buy one new back then. I am one of those idiots that actually likes the flip up headlights better... but still would have LOVED to buy one new. J

    Finally Got My Car and Impressions compared to s2k.

    Congrats on your purchase... welcome to the club! A few things I would like to mention: 1. It does get very hot in the engine bay - 100 percent normal 2. Springs - for 400 dollars you can make it nice and stiff like s2k 3. Not as nimble? What tires are you using. (quick story) I got my...

    Tires have been discussed - now BRAKES :)

    DONE! Hawks HP+ for the pads - on and off the track. has anyone heard of brakeperformance.com ? they have some EXCELLENT pricing on rotors. I did a search on google for them and saw nothing but good reviews from forums from vettes to trucks. I even looked up the bbb and one complaint about...

    Tires have been discussed - now BRAKES :)

    " think you mean Hawk HP+." Yup. haha, sorry about that. So you think HP+ can be used year round for DD as well as track days?

    Tires have been discussed - now BRAKES :)

    I have decided on a brake pad for track days - Hawk XP+ What I need now is a pad for everyday use that is nice and quiet, smooth and dust free. What would you suggest for that guys? Also, Is it okay to change pads like that... somebody told me you never put new pads on a used rotor. So is it...

    A Twist on how to Install a DD in an NSX ~new lense too!

    Perhaps the high heat in the engine bay would weaken the glue. I know JB weld is a strong epoxy that works on engines.. maybe they are too strong though and not removable? I like the work! This is an undercover car? LOL, red and blue lights in rear view mirror facing forward thru windshield...

    Can't get the NSX off my mind

    I came close to marriage with a couple other girls, I am so glad I dodged those bullets! My wife is a diamond in the rough... but she is not the only one. I would like to hear from some of these people when they think an NSX is a good idea. It is NEVER a good time to buy one. Personally I...

    What tires are you using

    initial impressions - I am impressed. I really like the ride quality and responsiveness. It feels like a race car.. now when I move the steering wheel there is an instant response with feedback.. I feel more connected to the road. And that is at 35 degrees! I cant wait for warmer weather...

    What tires are you using

    OMG - How did you see that from that picture! LOL You are 100 percent correct, I had the wheels mounted and they rolled it out of the bay when I took this picture with my iphone. My friend did a walk around and he noticed that the fronts were swapped. Interestingly, the arrow on the tire...
