I originally purchased my car in 2001 after it had come off of a 3 year lease in Boston. I was actually at a meeting in Boston and after failed attempts to buy a ZO6 Corvette (Dealer wouldn't let me test drive the car without a 10K deposit despite having driven into the dealership in a 911) and a 96 993 Turbo (Couldn't get any sales assistance at the dealership despite having purchased an Audi Allroad there 6 months prior), decided that an NSX was the ticket. Dealer had the 98 NSX and a new 2001 NSX. Couldn't decide on either the 98 (MC BLUE) OR THE 01 (Silverstone). My wife who has better taste decided that Blue was better. We bought the car and drove it home. The modifications then began and in the first 4 years of ownership, I actually had the car for around 6 months total. First went with a Cartech turbo system (Go to their website and they still use my car in the pictures) and they had the car for 22 months. Got the car back and it was faster but would frequently throw a check engine light. Unfortunately, I swerved to avoid a dear, sideswiped a large bush and damaged the panels on the right side of the car which led to a new bumper cover, front quarter, door, rear quarter and rear bumper cover. All replaced with OEM parts (2002 rear valance upgrade) and getting ready for XPO 04 but now had issues with oil getting through the turbo seals. Finally got everything straightened out but not before XPO so the NSX stayed at home and I took the wife's new Noble. After return, planned on changing the intake to wired throttle instead of throttle by wire as Devin had done. I contacted him and his tech said NO and then Devin went to AEM. Before his departure, he referred me to Momin at Elite who had done some excellent work on Ktan car. The car was off to Minneapolis where it underwent an engine build and the first Elite NSX turbo system.
