Hi all,
The NSX has always been a favorite car... perhaps THE favorite of mine. Looking back at my join date on Prime, I realized I got an account here before I got my first NSX. For those of you who wanted the username NA1, that user is actually my friend (who is a lurker)
I hope one day he will will retire and give me the username lol.
1st NSX in Vancouver, Canada. I had huge plans for it. However I never got to finish the project as I would have liked, due to priorities in life. It's based on my favorite car/color as a kid was metallic Lamborghini SE30 Diablo Jota. Back in the day before internet, I was spending a lot of money on imported JDM magazines, I saw the Marga Hills kit back in a Option Magazine, on a SSR GT1 wheel ad, and wanted the kit so much. Then came internet boom and I was spending my spare time stalking the Top End Japan gatherings and blogs. The Black NSX of Yana-chan was an inspiration. I totally wanted to complete the look with Marga Hills Headlight w/Lexan Lens, but after some communication with Kazz of Marga Hills, he told me he lost the mold long time ago.
I moved back to Hong Kong. Bought a MK4 Supra. But one thing kept taunting me, like the one that got away. I realized I needed to get another NSX. So enter the 2nd NSX. Sourced from Japan auction from a good friend after months of looking. 4.5 Won on the bid... and was so excited. When it finally arrived, this happened. It arrived in Hong Kong, but someone ran into it with a forklift before I took ownership. I really wanted to keep it, but sadly, further inspection showed that there was frame damage. Luckily, it was a friend that facilitated the purchase, so I was able to get a full refund.

So continued my search, and enter my '3rd' NSX. Here she is with my Supra.
