Well, I did it! I bought the 91 in Naniamo B.C on the Island. Thanks for all the imput from this board. A great source!
This was a two day trip for me flying out of Edmonton to Vancouver thursday Am, catching a 6 seater float plane to the Island with a Crazy acrobatic pilot and landing at 11 am to meet the great owner of this car. Quick inspection and test drive and the cheque was his. It was his before but I had to touch the car first. NSX owners who have seen it, rate it an "A". Everything original, even the cellphone and leather owners manual case! Not stock, is the dash cover that is fantastic. 125,000 km (78,000mi).
The car has a great service record with service managers across Canada giving the car two thumbs up. I am the Fourth Owner.
We traded paper and I barely made the 12:30 Ferry across to Vancouver. I hadn't been there since 1967, so this was a real cool trip. Once on firm ground I took Hwy 1 straight through to Hope and then up the 5 which is the Coquihalla and made it to Kamloops. To find out if your tired, just get out and walk ten steps. 33 mpg. 27 deg.C. Up early and straight north up to the Alberta border and Jasper. This was the neatest ride and had a hard time stopping to take some pictures. Curves, an empty road and ZZ Top's "Jesus just left Chicago" was enough to bring me to Tears of Happy-nsx! The remaining ride was simple hwy driving and by 2 pm was in Edmonton. That stint was 36 mpg(31 usa).
I forgot how bad our roads are here so I have lowered the tyre pressure to 30f/35r for now. The Dunlop 9000's are a little thin in the back and with the usual slight wear on inside of fronts. I would love to get a better tyre if possible for our bad roads. I love my x-one michs on my Concorde. (read family car)
I bought the car to cruise and enjoy, not to track race so Im looking at setting up for a comfortable ride and any advise would be great. Maybe some S rated tyres, hehe!
The car is number 45 and is Red/Black which is great because our plates here are white and red. The Plate is PUURRR and is from my ex 85 jag xj12 but looks equal on this car and crates a smile on faces. The Ladies don't know thats the noise I make.
A pic or two to follow and once again Thanks, especially to the owner, he even held the car for me without a deposit.
