St. Louis area ownership
- Thread starter donk
- Start date
Yesterday I and Tyler met another NSX owner in Alton. His name is Mike and he has a beautiful red/black 91, his car is in real good condition (love his wheels, almost looks like advan model 5's). It was nice talking to him, he is a big gear head, love his collection of cars, bikes and did I mention airplanes.
Wow, I had no idea there was someone in Alton with one! Thanks guys!
BTW, my OEM head unit finally and totally shot craps, so I pulled it yesterday. Sending it to Daryl Willman for the retrofit. I'll report on how that goes when I get it back, might need to do the speaker amps too?

Ahhh, got it! There are some great roads north of Alton and across the ferry to Calhoun County. I hit my highest speed ever in my 911 on the River Road, one Sunday about 5 AM :->

Thanks for the lead. I finally decided to buy a couple of lots on ebay so I've got about 20 to hand out. Average cost a little above .95, but ok by me for the kids.

Looking forward to catching up since we last visited, Don. I'll give Rahul a wake up call... hahaha!!! :biggrin:
The Dragon Lady is parked, hopefully not for the entire winter, and on the Chaagaa after washing. Great time on Saturday guys, what a way to spend the morning. Coffee at Starbucks, check out the new digs of Exotic Motors, right down the street from one of the other car museum/storage classic car warehouses, breakfast at the Sunrise Cafe, what a bargain and the fluffiest (don't you love the word ) pancakes I've had in a long time, then a visit to the museum and storage near Page and Warson. For those that haven't been, this one is a hoot. Some really old vehicles from the 30's and 40's, there's a collection of 50's, a couple of Merc Sun Valleys, 54 & 55, a 54 Kaiser Darrin, a Ford Sunliner, cousin to the Sun Valleys in white, pink and black, Corvettes and Porshe's a twin turbo Supra with under 1,800 miles, (correct me if I'm wrong guys), just to name a few. Nostalgic place, we are fortunate here to have close to 10 or 12 of these places in our area. Then just up 55, to Livingston/Staunton IL is one of the best unrestored storage and display group of barns with about 4-500 30's to 80's cars for sale. We ought to organize a trip.

ps if you have a targa, don't forget the Shinetsu grease on the top and door seals before you put it away. Could save you $2,400 in replacement seals. voice of experience speaking, after a replacement this year. Cheap insurance with a yearly checkup.

It's always fun hanging out with you and Rahul. :smile:
Hello,
Is anyone out there? A blessed late Thanksgiving and early Christmas greeting to you all! The month is passing quickly. Miss the opportunity to get on the road. Over the top on the 90,000 mile mark.
Good thing the "lady" is in the garage, she doesn't like rain. Lots to do here for a retired guy, don't know when I had time to work. Wondering if any of the other old guys are watching here. Parts on order tomorrow for a couple of fixes ( window clips from SOS and some more fender clips), just had the sedan updated with a new drivers side inside door handle. Glad it was this week, not fun opening the window to get out in the rain. You would think I was one of the "Dukes of Hazzard" for 2 weeks whilst we waited for the part.
Have an electric door lock switch we took out if anyone needs one. Also a MOMO gear shift handle, for the X, looks new.
Best,
Don

I'm heading to StL with my lovely bride this afternoon, to do a little shopping and have dinner with one of the daughters, her hubby and our granddaughter. Going to the CWE and Brentwood areas, dinner in Clayton. My retrofitted OEM radio from Daryl Willman is due back any day and I can't wait to get that installed (hope the OEM speakers are working and adequate.) Then she's going up on jack stands to get the Bilsteins and S springs done as I have time over the winter, plus a few other projects (tierod ends, SOS rack bushings, O2 sensors, etc.) Scored a beautiful new set of OEM floor mats too. I really want her back on the road asap in the spring!
Hope you guys had a good Thanksgiving and will have great end-of-the-year holidays!

Congrats on the MBA Rahul, We'll be there
Yes, congrats Rahul!
The Lady is warm and ready for a morning run. Took about 6 miles to get her temp to normal. With the new O2 sensor for some reason, she doesn't heat up as quickly. Could be the o/s temp I guess, Duh.
Anyone else out there besides the 3 of us. Anyone, Patrick, anyone, Buehler, Buehler, Anyone?
BTW there's a Delorean @ Schmitt on Lindberg and a dynamite Gregio Titan grey Huracan @ first digit 3, out on Arnage Drive in the valley. Have to see it in person for the full effect. No more Maserati's, as they "don't compete well in the under 100k market." ( the Gibli is in the $70's and the full one 80-90). Whoa. And if you haven't seen the Alfa Giulia, neat Maserati powered sedan, according to those in the know.

Wishin' you all a very Merry Christmas and a Safe and Happy New Year. :smile:
I'm guessing that my Dragon Lady isn't the only thing that is hibernating in this cold weather. Anyone else up?
All I've done IS touch the car in the last month! I had the console, both door panels and the passenger floor disassembled. I had Daryl Willman do the Clarion retrofit to the head unit, sent the speaker amps to BrianK for rebuilding, added a pair of tweeters to the original door speaker boxes, and trouble-shot all the stereo wiring. Also lubed the window tracks and made new plastic liners for the doors. Pulled the OEM CD player and associated wiring in the trunk. The stereo sounds great, I have a cable for my iPhone, and the windows are running faster. Now on to a bunch of smaller projects, then the shocks and springs before winter is over. Can't wait to get out again next spring!
