Different views of my NSX! NOT WORK SAFE

Import Revolution Car Show in Houston around 2002 down by the Astro Dome.

Those're the good old days, bro! I still remember them.:tongue:

Just drop off the car and the coil at the shop, so you don't have to stay up late and upset Mrs T.:biggrin:

Hi

Ah Samurai San is back. Welcome back to the pleasuredome.

I have no expirence in hot cars.

The first time I drove a hot car was when I drove home from Switzerland in the NSX. The last "hot" car I drove was the Prelude 2.2 VTEC I sold to get the NSX.

You guys have owned and driven a lot of hot cars. And then you guys came back to the NSX

The feeling I have when I drive my NSX is the feeling you guys have and it's the best. So I have not missed a thing. My choice was correct. :biggrin:

Best regards

Indeed back, but in Yellow this time....
Good to hear from you Martin, Nothing like an NSX, I've come an gone a couple
of times and always end up comparing everything to an NSX. Yes some cars have
more power / punch but none drive the same.... Go Kart on Steroids! Too much fun!

See ya around Brother!

Finally Got Lowered Today! Hoorah!:biggrin:

The install went great with the BC Coilovers, for details on the install, you can go to the BC Thread:
http://www.nsxprime.com/forum/showthread.php?p=1573302#post1573302

The ride is very nice / not Hard-Harsh at all, very pleased thus far!
Here are some quick pics I shot when it was completed with some
higher adjustment to allow for the car to settle this week. Then
some final adjustments next weekend and off to get aligned......

Better pics later.....

DAMN, Brother T the car is looking SWEEEEET!! I told you the BC you will like! :wink:

 

[PHOEN$X]

Wow - such a wild and different beast from your blue, Terry! The spa yellow pearl 02 is definitely more attention grabbing than your monaco blue, I think. Would you agree?

Thank you, I'm very pleased with how it turned out thus far... Exhaust or More Power next!

Hey Brother PHOEN$X,

Indeed, I questioned the Spa Yellow with the Stock wheels on it but once I
mounted the HRE's on it yesterday I could tell immediately that this one appeared
a bit more attention grabbing than the Monaco or my red one before that.

Still wonder in the back of my mind what this would have looked like on a Imola
Orange NSX which was the car I had been waiting for the past few years.
Who knows, still may be in the future to own one, but for now the Spa Yellow
is growing on me....:biggrin:

Something about these wheels appears to look better on the 02+ Body as well.
The picture of the MB NSX looks like the Wheels were too big ... LOL! Just in
that shot, most of the other pics looked okay.

 

[Caroline-NSX]

Can't go wrong with those HRE's.We used to have those on our first NSX :biggrin: Car look freaking sweet

 

[Caroline-NSX]

Where did you buy those HRE wheels from? Did you buy it from a member here some years back?

Thank you Caroline, Indeed the 547's appear timeless! I still love them!

 

[Single Samurai]

Where did you buy those HRE wheels from? Did you buy it from a member here some years back?

Nope, I'm the Original 1st owner of them, ordered directly from HRE in 2002.
I had them in 17 & 18 and a NSX owner from up North, I think Canada
saw them on my car at NSteXpo 2002 and bought them from me on the spot
with me rolling back to Houston / Home with his Stock Wheels on. I then
called my Bud at HRE and decided to try the 18 & 19's ..... not too many
NSX'ers were trying that big of a wheel combo 10 years ago:smile:

When I sold my Monaco Blue 2000 in "03" the buyer wanted the Stock Wheels
on it so I gladly took my HRE's off and for some reason kept them .... I guess
it was NSX Karma talking as they have been in my attic for 9 years till now!

Exhaust or More Power next!
^^^

After market Exhaust = MORE POWER!! :big grin: Well, at least a little more than you have now! I agree the wheels looks way TOO BIG on the old blue one due to the rear valence on the pre 02 nsx is too thin. 02+ thicker rear valence looks way better more balance front to back. Finally, bro your car is look pimping now. So happy for you!!!:wink:

Now that you mention it, in that photo the blue NSX does kind of look like it came from a DUBS magazine shoot. :biggrin:

Congrats again on the yellow 02, and enjoy it until you get an Imola. I'm sure one will come around sooner or later, and if not you can always find an NSX to repaint down the road. :wink: I'm constantly making plans for what to do with my next NSX since the ones I have now are too clean/pristine to modify.

Yo Bro, I meant either Exhaust or More Power / LoveFab...LOL!
Just don't have the heart to Mod this one ... such low mileage
and in great shape! Still thinking of which direction to go....

Indeed Strange, if you look at all of the other pics of the car with them ...
they don't look as Big. Angle, Distance may have something to do with it
as well.

Well, Decided to try 215/35-18's up front and I believe it looks Much Better /
Matched to the profile and sidewall of the rears (275/30-19). The 225/35-18's
will be craigslisted! Here's a couple of pictures I shot today...

[stormrider]

LOL, brother T! Please give me some details on how did you "Enjoying" the hack out of her. :wink: I hope is within the legal limited. Did you do the alignment on her yet? The spring should settling by now.

Just some day to day Driving Bro! Indeed legal, only up to 150+ once... LOL!
Getting old I guess.. Scared the Bajeebees out of me. Not like the old days
with Brad and the H-Town Crew getting crazy on the Beltway!

Springs settled and made the final adjustments this past week. I have an
appointment at 8:30am tomorrow morning for the alignment.
