Congrats to the new owner!

I have had a couple of days to make my peace with your news Stacy :frown:

Kudos to a great guy who made an indelible mark of the best kind on the NSX community!
:cool:
 
I'm curious to what kind of deal was that? Your NSX was already great. Hope there is a better replacement. :smile:

Hey Stacy, I hope you are not going to abandon us now that you are nsxless.

I am sure you are going to get another nsx and start a new project soon right?

Thanks for your contribution to the community and a lot of our nsx (especially mine) will not look as nice without your inventions. Stacy's SS rocks!!!
 
Congrats to the new owner!!! Your car was gorgeous and I cant believe you let her go after all that hard work!!:eek: I'm guessing your upgrading to a ferrari huh???:biggrin:

I can't lie I am considering an exotic,just not sure of the budget !
Gallardo's are a great buy in the US not in Canada,but can't seem to get one across the border,so yes a Ferrari is an option but the NSX seems to give the exotic look without the $$$$$ of a Ferrari.
I would love to find another project car but an '02-'04 would be in my best interest(if I decide to do another NSX).
I MISS my car terribly already,I think I just need a break right now !!!
After all the time spent making parts I am exhausted.I do have alot more ideas of parts I would like to build.
As far as leave this site,LOL,"Yeah Right" this site is worse than the GO-FAST-CRACK-PIPE !
I am just glad that Brent was excited to see the car and now he will too be hooked !
I have made a lot of good friends here(No matter if I have an NSX or not)and for that I can't say enough.

Stacy:wink:

PS Thanks to you guys for making the Instrument Cluster rings and Stacy's sideskirts a GREAT selling product !!!
 
Hi Everybody, first I would like to introduce myself to the NSX community,and say Hi to all my future friends,

My name is Brent (Maximumyield), and I live In Calgary Alberta Canada, I started out approx 2 years ago reading and becoming a member of prime, and starting to like the NSX, I have many stories about other NSX's in my ventures leading up the the purchase of Stacy's NSX, but will maybe write on that later. Right now I want to get to know more NSX addicts, and learn all I can about the car. It took me a long time, and believe me I almost jumped on a few other cars as I was getting tired of waiting, now when I think back I am glad thay never worked out.
I was stuck on a red targa forever, and well A good friend of mine mentioned to me his friend Stacy might part with his NSX, so I was a little interested to hear about the car as all options were open.
Well it was yellow and a hardtop, not exactly what I was looking for, well let me tell you, after talking to Stacy and seeing like 4 pictures of this car, I was blown away how good it looked to me, Yellow really suited that car, I can not lie it was sweet looking.Stacy had mentioned all the mods, I think the best one I liked is the Lovefab turbo that Cody is going to install in a few weeks time, I read about these kits and I can not wait for this day to actually meet Cody of Lovefab turbos and of course to have some juice behind the wheels :smile: , also many other awesome things Stacy did to the car, was really impressive.
I take my hat off too Stacy for making the instrument cluster rings and the Stacy Sideskirts, are truly a work of art.(great job Stacy) This car seems like it has everything, and is built from the ground up, so now my question was to buy a stock or modded NSX, hmmm well you all see my choice.
So I hopped on a plane to Kelowna B.C, and my good friend Pete who lives there was kind enough to take me in his H2 and he had a great enclosed trailer, so I was off to see Stacy's NSX, and let me tell you I was not dissapointed.
I would Just like to say it was a very memorable long weekend and still can not believe my looking for a NSX stress is over.I am glad I held off untill this day, I am a very happy 1st NSX owner. I will try to upload a few pics of my trip last weekend.Any other yellows Calgary? turbos?

Now I would like to thank Stacy for being such a good sport, and selling me one of the coolest NSX's I have ever seen, I know its tough bud, but I know you will prob buy a killer machine or build up a even crazier X before we know it:smile:
I would also like to say a BIG THANKS to Stacy , for all the time and help he gave me, muchly appreciated. It was a pleasure to meet you also and have you as a friend Bro,(hope you enjoy the AB beef) thanks for such an awesome machine and I will foresure take care of her bud.
Thanks Prime and everyone else.

Cheers everybody.
Brent

Welcome. That is so cool having the Hummer to pull the trailer that contain the NSX. Enjoy in good health. :smile:
 
Hey Brent!

Looks like the "Albertans" are buying up NSX's at the moment! Huh...you ask. Well there's your new purchase and congrats, John MCMillian in Calgary recently bought a beautiful Silver NSX-T, and myself who is originally from Edmonton (now living in Dubai) and flying to the U.S. on the 27th to pick up my babied 1991 Black NSX.

From what I've read your definately deserved of an NSX and much like you I've patrolled the forum and other sites (ebay, etc) for a while in the hunt for an NSX.

Stacy's......ummm your new NSX is truly amazing and I love the wheels on it. Congrats again on your purchase and when I return to Canada in a few years my 1991 and hopefully another 2002 will be coming with me. Enjoy the car and look up other Prime members in Alberta as there are a few who regularly post on Prime.

WOrd!

Beautiful car. What wheels are on the car? Any side shots?
 
Oh hey Stacy...

Look me up in Dubai or PM me as there are alot of used Lamborghini's in Dubai that you might be able to pick up cheaper than if you bought or exported from the U.S. It will cost you no more than $4000 Cdn to ship your car fully insured from Dubai.

Check out www.riv.ca for importing regulations and if your car is admissible to be imported. I know a few mates have bought late model Porsche's from Dubai and shipped them back to Canada and paid the importation duties, GST, PST, and still come out ahead by a good margin.

Why are there alot of used luxury cars in Dubai? Because people buy them, drive them for 1 or 2 years, and then want the latest and greatest. At the moment there are 4 used "yelllow" Lamborghini Gallardo's on various lots. That's just what I saw in the paper yesterday...

I'll give you one example...

My 07 S2000 purchased new in Edmonton would cost me $54,000 list price plus 7% GST which equals $57,780. I've purchased mine here in Dubai for $38,709. That's an immediate savings of $19,071. Depending on the importation regulations (Sorry I haven't checked) I might save some good money bringing it back with me.

Anyway the cars here are bascially Canadian standard being km/h odometers and left hand drive too. I don't see any difference in my S2000 as opposed to the Canadian version except a larger radiator for cooling purposes - damn it gets hot here!

What the hell are you doing Stacy????

You buy the car, tinker with it for 3 years putting only the 12 miles between the purchaser and your garage on it in 3 years. Then you get SOS to put the car back together with a GM, drive it for a few months, sell the GM and then SELL THE CAR???

Are you on drugs?

Instead of diner on me next time Im free during an evening in Van, we are eating on the run as we hunt for a new NSX for you.
 
I accept some of the blame...as soon as he sold me his GM it was like ripping the heart out of the car! :tongue:

LOL,Dave do not forget the Lovefab turbo as well !!!!(which Brent is going to get installed shortly)
Also 400 miles in 3 years,I did enjoy it in Arizona,ALOT !!
I have an idea Dave show up in your car and I then won't be the one looking for a new "X",LOL !!!!:wink:
No drugs but maybe some medication would help me along,I feel as if I lost my best friend !!

Oyagi(John,I mean DR.Chu) you are right you did make me "RIP" the heart out of my car,how dare you !!!
"Pain isn't the only thing you do for a living",I think you enjoy it as a past-time too !!!
Anyway guys,all joking aside,no regrets.On-wards and up-wards !!!
I hope Brent has as much enjoyment driving the car as I did creating/building it !!!
I will still frequent the site and keep my eyes on all of you.


Stacy

Ps This is a new record for me hanging onto a car this long anyway !!!

No doubt - cant sell a car that doesnt have an engine in it!

400 miles in 3 years. That includes the trip from Phoenix to Vancouver last fall when SOS put your car back together, which according to Google Maps is 370 miles. :D

Take that out, and NSX TEST DRIVERS have more experience driving the car than you!
 
Jetpilot3, yea I see that lately, I do not see very many driving around, part of the reason I like the NSX its rare, also thanks for the warm welcome I am sure I will be talking to many new people,

Ericwgnsx, the wheels are Boyd Coddington's f09 I believe, 19" front 20" rears, I will send a few side shots, Thanks

Jin1976, the Hummer was a great tow, the trailer never tossed us around at all, and it was a comfortable ride through the mountains, thanks to my good friend Pete.Funny Pete wants to buy a NSX now haha, along with a few other friends :)

Well, as sad as we are to see Stacy let his baby go, I am glad to see the new owner already on Prime. This place breeds the best enthusiast on the internet BY FAR :smile:

One thing though, which depending on the new owner may be either a good or bad thing..is that from now on that car will most likely be always referred to as "Stacy's old car". :P
 
And Maximum - come on over to the CDN Forum. Plus you can start your own chapter of the NSX Club of Canada out in Cowtown. We have almost 35 PAID members in Ontario; the infrastructure is ready for you to use out there (insurance and all).

PM RED.
 
Sounds very interesting Bio, I will look into it, and yes I will be in the Canadian forums, no doubt about that, I will have many questions soon I am sure, along with getting many to answer.
I am glad to be a part of this community, and I am sure I will enjoy the awesome car Stacy did up for me :)

From looking at this car I bought, I can only imagine what Stacy will build up next in the near future.

Maximumyield
 
Congrats on the car. ScienceofSpeed built the engine, so it would be a good idea to provide the specs we gave to Stacy to tune the turbo system properly. If you have any questions on this, give us a buzz.

Regards,
-- Chris
 
Brent, you have some pretty big shoes to fill. I hope you have some room in your garage, because we expect you to start producing side skirts and NSX parts like Stacy.:biggrin:

Welcome to the club, but get your A$$ to working on those parts.:tongue:
 
Thanks Chris, nice to meet you, I will talk to Stacy and see what I have allready, he gave me a folder full of bills, including the SOS ones, If I need to know more for Cody to tune this turbo, I will definately be in contact, muchly appreciated. :)

I don't think I have the time these days like I used to have to build up machines and parts, this is part of the reason I went for a modded X, saves me alot of time and $$, and as for to fill stacy's shoes, what he has done for this community can not be topped from too many people I believe.( I know u were only kidding) vsy05. :) or were u lol,

Thanks Guys,
Maximumyield
