New owner of 2000 MBP / Camel VIN JH4NA216XYT000176

Well done...your car's a real beauty! I'd suggest having a clear bra applied to your car to help keep it looking nice. I've had clear bras installed on both my NSX as well as my S2000. They are a little pricey but I've never regretted having it done. Money very well spent!

Congrats on the beautiful gem.

Service update on the car, got it back from FlatIrons Acura on 5/2. Had them do a complete front to back refresh on the car since the previous owner couldn't provide documented service history (his Honda master tech friend only took cash):

Timing Belt
Water Pump
Clutch
Complete 60K service
Added Grom bluetooth adapter
Replaced Bose door speakers

A big expense up front but well worth it, now it's oil changes for the next 3 years

Service update 6/9:

1. Got the correct right/left orientation Potenza RE010's on the car (finally).
2. Driver side interior door handle broke as I was getting into the car to drive to the dealership. Replaced by Science of Speed billet handles.

Took this picture:

Went to the July 1st Cars & Coffee in Lafayette, Colorado and was the only NSX there :smile:

Thanks!

Bump with new photos, switched to '02+ OEM wheels.

April 2019 update: 10+ hours paint correction + ceramic coat, and a great front shot showing off the pearl paint

 

[gleibig]

That is a killer color.

 

[jimmy-buffett]

Took this night shot and the color just POPS.

 

[neuronbob]

Love that color and that lat pic was awesome! I may eventually wrap mine in that color.

Awesome photo, j-b!

Congrats on the NSX purchase. It will be a lifelong adventure!

I love the BLUE!

Update: just added the Science of Speed replica '02+ OEM wheels in washi gray.

Outdoor shots with the new wheels (this was at Cars & Coffee with police presence so parking in handicap spots is allowed).

Such a classy color combo. Was lucky enough to get some seat time in another MCB / Camel car at one point, and take some photos.

They look great! 17/18s? What are the offsets? Is the car lowered or stock height?

Congrats! and amazing color, we have one local guy here who also has a 2000 MBP and he also got it in NY a few years back.

They're the '02+ Science of Speed replica wheels, wheel specs are front 17x7.5 with +45 offset, and rear 18x9.0 with +36 offset. Suspension is factory, stock height.

Love the color combo.
I just got my Kaiser Silver. Similar millage and all original.

SpeedMaster: I got speakers popping bad, before I tear them out.
What kind of electronics cleaner should I get? Thanks in advance.

The factory Bose speakers are known to have a problem with popping (mine did that when I first got it, that I fixed by replacing the speakers). There's a FAQ on fixing the issue:

Finally got some good photography back on the car with the new SoS replica wheels in Washi Gray:

Beautiful Car!

Great shots J-B!

Did you have actual 02 wheels and then swapped them for Science of Speed replicas? How come?
