    Favorite exterior color of a NSX?

    I wonder how many are really left... I know some have been shipped out of the country. So many pictures of accidents. Ive heard of some being cannibalized for parts... I wonder just how many are really left from that 18K total? Anyone have data? You're absolutely right, we are lucky to have...

    What tires are you using

    Are you saying that the OEM tire was superior? Do you have any suggestions of tires that are better?

    What tires are you using

    Two questions: How much were the swift sports (where did you get them), and do you have a picture to show the height after installation? Ok, three questions LOL JF

    What tires are you using

    I just got some new wheels, and was looking at tirerack... and was surprised by some of the user ratings. I thought it would be good to have a thread of what people are buying these days, and how they like their tires! I am considering: 215/40ZR17 XL Continental ExtremeContact DW Blackwall...

    Favorite exterior color of a NSX?

    This is one of the hardest things to decide when buying an NSX. Is it just me or do the reds seem to fade a bit over time. I remember how deep the red looked in the showrooms and when you see many red ones now they are fading to an orange color. I did see one red that was AMAZING, and it had...

    Hello. My Name is Adrian. Looking into get a NSX soon. I love this place.

    Junior, I cant begin to tell you just how lucky I was to have found nsxprime before my purchase. I entered the VIN in google and found a prime post about damage. I ran like hell. I actually avoided about 4 cars before even becoming a member on prime. And when it came time to buy the car and...

    Winter Upgrade Questions

    Thanks for the info guys, I shot wheel tech an email and we will see how that goes. I don't think they powder-coat brake calipers though. I talked to a place last summer but lost their contact info. I thought they were southwest of the city. I have NO idea what their name was. Would you...

    So hard to choose

    The more I research turbos, the more confused I get. So far I know of 3 major players (lovefab, SOS and Angus). Are there any other significant players I should look into? Some basic questions: 1. Which is better Journal or ball bearing (I thought BB would be better, but Ive heard some...

    Acura can't duplicate key

    This was at McGrath in Morton Grove on Waukegan. I have to say that overall my experience has been really great over there.. this was my first problem with them EVER.. but still it happened. Other than this key issue they have really been great. I purchased 5-6 cars from them but they really...

    Acura can't duplicate key

    When I got mine there was only one key, so I purchased extra keys at 25 a piece from one of the vendors here on prime. I took them to my acura dealership and they said they couldn't cut the key. I got a little peeved. They told me to take it to a locksmith. I asked them if it didnt work if I...

    Lotus making the new NSX?

    You know what... I've got an idea! Yes, I am a little drunk at the moment, but damn it, I think I may have something here! There is a lot of mechanical know how in the NSX community. Ive seen so many posts of people who fabricate their own front and rear ends, HID lights, etc etc. Why not...

    Putting the pieces together

    It sure would be nice if they listened to us, but I really don't think they care. Is it fact that they lost money on each and every NSX they sold??? if so, I think they are trying to cut expensive advertising. But what they don't get is how many sales they really got because of an NSX in every...

    Turbo sizing and recommendations for a unopened 3.0

    I think its valid question to ask. I don't know how "propriety" that questions really is. Ive spoken to three turbo experts and each of them openly told me what size turbo they plan on using. Its not like I asked in order to sneak behind their back and DIY at home. lets face it, forced...

    Here is my baby in hibernation. Took the car cover off and started her up to charge up the batteries, then drove around the garage just to hear the exhaust.

    Random NSX pictures that don't each deserve their own thread

    7 exposures, +6, +4, +2, 0, -2, -4, -6. Thanks for the kudos. Some people hate HDR photos, some love it. It depends on the shot and how overdone it is. I have some clients who think this is amazing photography and some who think its digital art. It is kinda both! What do you use for...

    LoveFab Turbo Stage 2

    I have three questions: 1. Aren't ball bearing turbo's even better? 2. Would two small turbos produce equivalent power than one large and with faster spool up? 3. What is recommended HP for street use? I doubt I will ever want more than 550 EVER. Prob just want 400-450 for street use.

    Winter Blues

    I think it would be great if everyone took a picture of their car in its current "winter state." Car covers, snow on cars, rain... ice? How about a winter weather picture post? DaVinci13 - NEGATIVE 45C???? no offense but :eek:
