Last day with the NSX...

[95EagleAWD]

That time of year again; back into the garage it goes.

As usual, a good wash under the hood, doorjams, all that jazz. And as usual, I want to take it out for one last rip, but I guess I'll have to wait until April or May to do that.

Some pictures from Calgary:

Parked next to my parent's MDX and my brothers D16 powered ITR-suspended Civic.

All tucked away...

Looking good! So what car do you drive durning the winter months? Your sig says your other cars have been sold.....

 

[Jin1976]

One sweet looking NSX.:smile:

 

[otoro]

Wow, looking real good. Is there a reason your NSX sits on cardboard flats? :tongue:

 

[legendr35]

The volks are sweet. Too bad I get to drive my nsx all year round :tongue:

 

[da3dalus]

Looks soooo much better on the new wheels!!!

 

[4AU4LIFE]

I have always wondered how black wheels would look on Red nsx. Now I know and I like it.

You held out well waiting for the last possible day to put your NSX away.
I packed up both the S2000 and the NSX for the winter, the last week of October.
I usually wait until early May to put them back on the road.

This makes winter feel even longer! :frown:

Hope to get together in the spring for some drives around town.

Your NSX look nice with black wheels. I live in Minnesota and currently it is pretty cold but have not get snow yet and not cold enough for me to put my NSX away yet -- I will drive her until snow comes down

yeah i'm faced with a decision right now to move from here (hawaii) to Seattle Washington.... Seattle is not that bad, but compared to here, its not to appealing.

 

[KSXNSX]

I love Southern California.

Haha, I put my baby away yesterday too, but not before going on a nice 3 hour rip through the countryside with a fellow NSXer. Took her through some nice country roads, twisties, scenic. Got home, and gave her the annual 3 hour wash job, armourall the wheel wells, overinflate the tires etc.

I still won't disconnect the batt or take off the insurance until next week just in case the weather hold out!

...and for those in So Cal...we have lower mileage cars than you!

EDIT: you should get the rest of the jdm tail lights or tint your regular tails with BlueBat's overlays! LOVE seeing SOS boxes...reminds me of my garage

 

[ffffanman]

Wow Ryan, that baby cleans up real nice!!!
Well have to drive mine I guess when It gets back on the road.
I'll put on some x-ice and you can show me how to drift her on the ice.

I am... over the winter I'll amass some parts.

 

[Vendetta]

You guys have snow on the ground already!!!???

We don't quite have the SoCal weather but we're currently at 55 degrees here in Cleveland Ohio and it's nighttime. My NSX has been put away for weeks but it wasn't weather related. Broke my ankle a month ago so I can't drive it anyways :frown:

call me crazy but for some reason I like the look of the dark jdm center compared to the usdm outers

It certainly doesn't look bad, that's for sure.

I'm with u
I live on the east coast (MD) and drive mines all year round (rain,snow,sleet,shine), they are actually fun in the snow to drive, its not like the cars gonna rust, I have 2 other cars to drive but why not enjoy it while u can in this crazy world we live in, unless some of u plan on being buried in ur car:tongue:

Does sitting on concrete over the winter hurt the tires? Why the boxes?

My guess.....

The flat, hard concrete can cause flat spots on the tires. The layers of cardboard have a little "give" because they're soft so that will reduce the chances of flat-spotting the tires.

Why not just put it up on jacks?

Pretty bad for the suspension to sit for 5 months topped out.
