ouch, no need to get so defensive. When you have a car that stands out that much, you should expect all kinds of attention whether it'd be good or bad. I just put in my two cents, and I would hardly call a grounding kit, or a polished alternator a performance mod, however you have shut me up when you mentioned the nitrous kit. I don't know how I could've missed the jet going into the intake which appears to be a zex dry kit.
You can pick my car apart all you want for it being well balanced, and not overkilled ( yes pun intended :smile: ) I like my NSX just find and I would rather drive my car around then yours, ( just my honest opinion ) I like my cars looking close to stock with just a small drop and nice fitting wheels because that will never go out of style like many other body kits. Only tasteful mods and nothing gaudy.
I'm not a brand snob, but I would group Revolution along with APC, plus its just very very unusual to see a nsx with its mufflers aimed like that. I would like to see how those bends are for the piping. But since I have no experience with that setup which is why I asked how does it sound, and I thought it was kind of ricey to have the mufflers aimed like that.
But overall I didn't think the was too bad for a show car. All I did was point out the mufflers which many other members in the past have pointed out to as well before you even purchased this car. I didn't even critique the fact that you have a vertical door kit put on your NSX ( which is being pretty lenient ). But your paint job and the wheels look top notch and yes I do see a lot of money and hardwork went into this project which is why even though its not my cup of tea I still have to give it some respect for what it is. Hey different strokes for different folks.
This is why I may come off as harsh but you have to understand that our taste is completely different. I build my car the way I want to, you can build it the way you want to.
Well good mornin'.
I can tell from your last email that you probably aren't entirely deserving of the somewhat sarcastic response you got from me. I can be a bit harsh myself at times.
Let's be friends :biggrin:
Before we give each other a hug, let's address what happened. I wasn't being defensive so much as simply returning the volley - there was really nothing constructive about your original email, which is what evoked the kind of response you got from me. If you go back and read what you wrote, instead of acknowledging anything positive about the car (remember, I'm still excited about having acquired it), you began by declaring what the first thing would be you'd
take off the car (I didn't ask anymore than you'd asked me what I don't like about your car), then you proceeded to demean the car (which isn't entirely unlike calling my girlfriend ugly), by stating that my exhaust "appears to be some no name carbon fiber canister cherry bombs that you can get at any auto parts store", then somehow concluded there were no other "real" performance mods done to the car (another perceived insult considering the context in which the statement was made) and finished off by saying it wasn't "too bad" and "passable if you're into that kind of thing" which sounded sort of like "your girlfriend is very attractive in a fat, sweaty, smelly kind of way". The car can't speak so I have to speak for it. I guess you could say I was simply defending it's honor :tongue:
Ok now. ****BIG HUG**** :redface:
:biggrin:
I don't feel the need to pick your car apart - that's not my style - it's
your car, and it looks like a nice car. And from reading your signature, it seems you've done some cool stuff to it as well. Although I'm glad to hear you would rather drive it around than mine - I don't really like people driving my cars LOL. This is a sunny Sunday car for me so I figured I'd go extreme - I've had Vipers and Prowlers and a lot of hot rods - my "toys" always tend to lean towards the extreme - in fact I recently sold a chopped and channeled '32 Ford pickup with a baby hemi (I've attached a picture of it - I actually miss that little truck) that got more attention than anything I've owned in many years, which was part of the fun of building and owning it - I like car people, and having unusual rides tends to attract them. By the way, all the stuff about the polished alternator and misc. body parts and lug nuts being performance mods was simply me being facetious. You'll get to understanding my sense of humor better as time goes by. Haven't taken the opportunity to try the NOS yet - interested to see what kind of impact it has. It's always fun to watch peoples reaction when I show them the big 'ol purple bottle in the trunk though.
:tongue:
I really like that red NSX you posted pictures of a bunch - beautiful car, and very tastefully done. I'm already looking forward to doing an NSX myself (I don't normally buy "done" cars, but I made an exception in this case because (a) I liked it, (b) he spend over $35k on the car
after having bought a clean example to start with, which I'm not sure I'd be willing to do, and (c) it is actually really well done, whether it's your "cup of tea" or not) - I have a vision in my head of what I would do with a black/black one - I have the car largely built in my mind's eye from bumper to bumper in significant detail. It would be measurably more radical than that red one, but significantly more subtle than the attention grabber that's parked out in my garage right now. In my head it looks like the hybrid offspring of an NSX and a stealth bomber. I saw a couple of black ones over the last couple of years with widebody kits that I particularly liked (I know, I know - widebody kits have that same "love 'em or hate 'em" effect that my car has) - I'll see if I can find the pictures.
I completely agree with your assessment that our tastes may be completely different - although probably not as divergent as you might think.
In closing, I only have one question.
What the hell is wrong with vertical doors?
:tongue: :biggrin:
