Hi All,

I've been visiting Prime for some time now and more recently contributing to some of the threads as I now own the NSX you see before you. I picked her up a few months ago and have enjoyed every moment.

Last month the NSX performed faultlessly when I headed into France to watch the Le Mans 24hr, receiving many complements on route.

I think this color is limited to the UK, being Magnum Grey Pearl. Paint is in very good condition with only a few minor stone chips. Its a 3.2 manual with H&S exhaust, DF rear spoiler and high end Alpine/Genesis audio.

Hope you enjoy the photos (if I've managed to attach them ok).

she's a gem...

If I'm not mistaken, I've seen in person this particular Magnum Grey Pearl NSX-T...

Mmm, mmm... good! :biggrin:

If ever / whenever I need a repaint, I'm going to look into this or Magnum Grey w/ some metallic-flake. I'm not what one would call Mr. Concours D'elegance Extrodinair, per'se. So the subtle pearl hue would look like poo under my care! :tongue:

I'm intreeged, where when and how?

Thanx for all the positive comments and here's an update 6 months into ownership with a few mods now complete.

H&S quad tip exhaust
Procar AIS and CF airbox
Procar CF fender scoops
DF NSX-R rear spoiler
NSX-R front swaybar
NSX-R shift knob
OEM 17 in Gunmetal + F1's
Clear side repeaters
HID's

Yesterday, Sept 30, a few of the NSXCB guys got together for some back to back runs on the rolling road. 4 x 3.2's and 3 x 3.0 The 3.2 figures, which are calculated flywheel, were 269, 274, 275 and very pleasing for me after the above mods, 289bhp :smile:

Hopefully I've attached some new photo's, I'm particularly pleased with OEM rims, thanx to all who offered rims, and how well the CF works with the Magnum Grey. A winter project will be to refresh the discs and calipers, hopefully with NSX-R items.

For me the mods have provided a more free revving, quicker, smoother car with sharper steering and a very Stealth look.

I hope you like as much as I do.

Regards

a keeper...

I'm intreeged, where when and how?

Oh, I was in the Greater London area for some work 2yrs ago... I was fortunate enough to attend a few JP/import sportscar gatherings. The previous owner of the '98 Magnum Grey Pearl and I conversed quite a bit, I recall he also had a S2000 w/ a lot of work being done to it so he was considering sale of the NSX.

Hot car, period!

OOHhh..... NOW that's a nice color.... never seen before... but looks great~!!!

[Da Hapa]

absolutely beautiful color. thanks for sharing.

 

[Wiqaas NSX-T]

Congrats n nice color, I think I seen once before, it is rare colour for NSX.
Any high res photo? :smile:

 

[Senninha]

Thanx for all the compliments. Its also a rare color here in the UK with only 2 definate examples known. It does get registered occasionally as black so there may be a few more around.

Wiqaas NSX-T, I do have some high res but struggle to load even the thumb nails. If you want to pm your email I will attach and send.

regards

NSX-R guage set

With much care and patience I am now the proud owner of the replica Type R gauge set as shown.

A huge thanx goes out to VanceHu for making them available and to evof575gtc for technical support :wink:

I believe this may be the only set of VanceHu's overlays to make its way to the UK

regards

Type R brakes

Hi All,

The latest project has been to update and refresh the tired looking brakes on my NSX.

Whilst I had the car in the air, I took time to clean up all that lovely looking suspension, respray the calipers in satin black (thanx RyanITV for color tips) and install Dali's CF deflectors.

A few photo's of the updates..... :smile: and now your eye is drawn to the lovely OEM rims and not the dirt/dust/rust lurking behind.

At the next service I shall install braided hoses and change out all the fluids.

Thanx for looking and for all the positive feedback.

regards

Paul

 

[Senninha]

To finish the brakes I spent the day with J14NSX and we bled the brake fluid and installed Dali braided hoses. I went for the black finish for an OEM look.

Having tested them I then had a great drive home and came across the following backdrop that was crying out for a photo or four of the NSX, now sporting its 02 rear lights.

regards, Paul

 

[HYPERTUNE]

Come on, that's got to be photoshopped. I mean, there's no rain and way too much sunshine!!!! :tongue:

But seriously, that is a NICE looking NSX.
