I ran into a guy the other day who said he always wanted a yellow NSX and that mine was the cleanest he had ever seen. He asked me "is it for sale?" my answer was that everything is for sale for the right price.
I told him the story of the billionaire and the girl at the bar. The man says...
Maybe we read the post a little differently - I didn't see any financial hardship in the OP. He said he was a planner, and so am I. So he has to change his plan, so what? Its not like he is going to stop taking care of his family to buy this car! And whats wrong with a 20 year old borrowing...
I hope I havent offended your set up at all. I think your car looks amazing. The white with black is my second favorite color. Of course, yellow is my first:)
Well, I guess I should tell everyone exactly what my priorities are in order:
1. Get rid of that annoying squealing. Its embarassing to drive up in a nice car like ours, and have brakes that sound like they are on a jalopie being held together by rust and duct tape. I cant tell you how many...

I hope no one gets mad at me for giving you this advice. GET IT!!!!!
I had a very similar story to yours actually. Like you I wanted an NSX my whole life. I always put it off because I like having a lot of cash on hand. My wife was 5.5 months pregnant when she caught me looking at "nsx...
You asking me? I'm still on the OEM one. I plan on picking up a SOS clutch. Either the sport clutch (which everyone has nothing but excellent things to day about it), or the newer twin carbon clutch.
I figured I would do a bunch of work at the same time. I want to put in new engine mounts...
You are right Hugo, next would be the suspension. I think the wheels look a little funny with such a large gap in the wheel well. I don't want issues with speed bumps and inclines (I scrape the front as it is already), but if I could get the gap fixed that would be great. But thats the next...
I would like to thank everyone for their help on my post "what tires are you using". Now that is over I would like to start one about breaks..
I guess I am working on my car from the ground up. Wheels and tires are great now, but the brakes really need attention. Chris at SOS told me that...
It is so nice of everyone to share their knowledge. Some of us ( like me ), have zero of this knowledge and just love the NSX. Its great that you spend time to teach us everything you know. I feel so dumb, but didn't even know that the Advan Model 5's were made by Yokohama until I had to find...
Thanks for the info. Yeah, mine is a 97 with stock suspension. Well, I can only assume it is as I am not the first owner. But the car is 100 percent stock in every other way.
Here is a new question, speaking of allignment... I am going from stagered 16/17 set up... going to 17's all around...
HUH?
OH this is not good... I didn't know that was an issue.
It is amazing how much I don't know! You have to do an alignment when you get a new set of tires? And you said settings... as apposed to the hammer I see alignment places use to pound the car into alignment? Can any alignment...
I just some new wheels, and am selling my OEM wheels. The only problem with them is cosmetic.. the clear coat is peeling off them. If you want a good deal on OEM 16/17's this is it.
I can ship them this way, or have them powdercoated or any other finish that you wish.
The tires are...
Thanks for the compliments - I have been tooling around with HDR for a few months now and it takes some tweaking to get it the way you want it. I think each HDR photographer has his own "style"... which is really just a bunch of settings that take a while to get just right. Once you find your...
I called wheel-tech in HP and met with them the other day. They are working on the wheels now. I also went ahead and ordered some Yoko advan AD08's. Thanks for the referral!
The shop doesn't look upscale but the cars in the bays were all very nice. Must be one of those places that people in...
I would like to thank everyone for their input. I have decided to go with the Yoko Advans. I will update this page once I get a chance to drive on them. I am not sure if I should sell my OEM wheels or not. If I dont, I will put another tire on them like the continentals and see if they...
There is only so much you can squeeze out of the NSX safely. I guess the best thing to do is just forget about the GTR killer, because it sounds like at the end of the day I will be spending GTR $$, and then some, just getting there. I think 400-435HP would make the car fun - and not get too...
This is where you will hear a grown man cry.... ITS IN STORAGE :'(
I have to go check it out, I know I do.. Hmmm, maybe this is a reason to go see her....
OK OK, you talked me into it... Im hoping in the car and finding out.. LOL
I would like to get on a track this year, but havent tracked any car before. When I drive my car I usually push it a little. I like to powerslide a bit, but the tires I have now are horrible. I don't even know which ones I have.. they were installed by the dealership I purchased her from last...
Ok, ive narrowed it down to these three players:
In alphabetical order:
1. Continental ExtremeContact DW - 114 each
2. Dunlop Direzza Sport Z1 Star Spec - 139 each
3. Yokohama ADVAN Neova AD08 - 162 each
I am torn...
Continental sounds AMAZING except some people say its like driving on...
