Ive been wanting a mid engined exotic for a few years now, and since i was being sent back to iraq so soon after the first tour, I felt the time was right to make that dream a reality. at first I was looking hard at the lotus esprit. I knew all about its electrical problems and continued my research unfased until i found out about the renault tranny that blows anywhere over 350 hp. the lotus out i continued looking, the italians were fragile and germans had ****ty dynamics being as they arent true mids. in either case, they were both so expensive that the only cars fitting my 30k budget left the factory in the late 70's. this was unacceptable and i was about ready to give up the hunt when a best motoring video brought Honda's NSX back into my attention. Id known about the NSX since its inception in the early 90's: it was a beautiful car and the magazines loved it, but like many i had been unwowed by its lack of power. what i saw on that video was BMI's own "Gan san" racing against contemporary exotics in a NA2 NSX-R at twin ring motegi. seeing that 290 hp car hold off a 600 hp murcialago using only its lightwieght and perfect balance was inspiring, I had to have one. I quickly joined www.nsxprime.com and downloaded a copy of the FSM, all my research coming back positive I began my search for a red/black NA1 with tan leather interior and shortly found one at a decent price in prime's classifieds. Now i just gotta get free of Iraq so i can enjoy it properly.

Now then, after that long winded introduction heres some pics ;)

Needs more black PRO-N1... otherwise, yummy.

Dave · 10-30-2006, 06:16 PM

And now a short peice on mods that i have aquired
Im trying to wait untill i return home to buy parts but that hasnt stopped me from purchasing a few small items

#1 Cantrell concepts CF splitter

#2 Science of speed "stealth" liscense plate frame

#3 Procar specials CF headlight buckets

Ive also picked up a Mugen shift knob which i intend to couple with a short shifter

I'll throw more pics up as i buy parts or as they go on. im waiting patiently for splitter pics as of this moment. later

I

NSX's...'nuff said

Dave · 11-23-2006, 02:12 PM

OH N0ES! I found me a set of NA1 NSX-R enkei's at a nice price on ebay. my heart is still set on black ssr type c/rs but these will give me a nice set of rare lightweight rims for the interim.

TalonTsi97 · 11-23-2006, 02:37 PM

I like those wheels, The ssr's you want will look good but if you can get those enkeis for rite price i say go for it.

Dave · 11-23-2006, 02:46 PM

Splitter pics! and my dad already cracked it DOH!!

Silverfc88 · 11-23-2006, 02:51 PM

Oh noes!! I bet your dad feels like an ass! LoL.. That's super cool to let your dad cruise around in that though. What does he normally drive?

Oh and I really like the wheels you got. If anything you can always powder coat those.

TalonTsi97 · 11-23-2006, 02:51 PM

I really like the lip, but knwo you need more carbon and dark wheels. Sucks it already got cracked, i would be so pissed.

yeah a little, he immediately offered to buy me a new one. he normally pimps a gmc safari van

if these things turn out to be genuine nsx-r wheels (which is damn well what it looks like) i may be able to turn em around for quite a bit more than i spent on them. so no powdercoating ;)

james_ls · 11-23-2006, 03:34 PM

Killer car.

I really really really think they are R wheels.

LUCKKKYY!!!

2slowMX5 · 11-23-2006, 04:40 PM

Nice car, good luck with it. I LOVE the nsx and hope to own one one day. Its probably right at the limit of what ill actually be able to afford in the near future. We have similar criteria, and the nsx seems to fit the bill.
