Casual Meet I.5: Happened Already

Finally, I've shown my face to some Prime members. When I said "some," I meant just two, Tiger740 and BostonNSX. I haven't been checking Prime for the past few days and that's a long time for Prime's standards. Either way, I went on the message boards and I found out Tiger PMed me this afternoon (I could've missed it by all means). The topic was, of course, about meeting up because he wanted to to check out mods on my car before he install his. I had to admit, I knew I was gonna be tired because I had to do some workout with my friend but for a fine day like this (yes, it hit 80s today for Baw-ston), I couldn't resist driving my car and seeing more NSXs.

Some pictures were taken but I heard it didn't turn out to be perfect since it's a night meet. However, I've faith in Terrence's camera and by saying this, I've already passed the ball to him. Therefore, if anyone is interested in the pics, urge him to post them :D Actually, urge Tiger, too, because he promised to upload them to his server :rolleyes:

Well, how was the ride home, guys? I've a little to tell on my end. Of all paths that I can choose, I chose to go home on M. Drive because I don't wanna pass by the State Police station with Storrow Drive. Plus I know I can't read speed limit signs (they all seem like 95), it's better for me to go local. So, I drove as low key as possible <2000 rpm + 10% on the gas and came to the 2nd stop light passed the Galleria Mall. A black SC300/400 pulled next to me, I didn't look at him/her at all because I don't like talking to strangers. As usual, I looked at my rear view mirror and saw a few more cars pulling behind me. One of them looked suspicious to me (yellow halogens with orange lights in between) and I tried to identify it starring hard at my left mirror. It'd be a lot easier if there wasn't a freaking SUV shinning its torch at me but anyhow, I saw a shadow of a huge sausage on top of that vechicle and you guessed it folks, it's a cop, State edition. Luckily, nothing happened as I drove 35-40 mph all the way. I even let him passed me so I can follow him instead. Then, he did a speed check on me as my radar's starting to beep crazy. I immediately turned off my K40 so he couldn't accuse me of having a jammer. Five seconds later, he changed lanes and began to slow down. I was already like, mother f-ker and realized there's nothing I can do except keep going at the same speed. After passing him, he eventually came to a stop as I saw him in my rearview mirror BUT he picked up speed again after another car with xenons passed him and kept hiding behind him. What a sneaky bastard!! Good news is, I'm already at the exit before home and I got into my garage safe and sound. Phew... :eek:

LOL... at least you weren't going 150+ mph this time :D

I am glad to hear that you got home safe! With your exhaust, it is really hard not to be noticed :D

Anyway, I waited all day to receive pictures from Terence and he hasn't gotten back to me. Knowing Terence, he is going to send them to me late ;)

I will post them as soon as I hear from Terence!

Thanx, man, for posting the pics. It took you shorter than I expected!! How many pictures were taken btw?

It's a smart thing to send the rest of the pics to... *cough* ahem... where's that Crouching Tiger...
 
Sorry guys.. my web hosting server was having some problems!

Here are the rest of the pictures (other than the ones that Terence posted) that Terence sent me!

Night Out
 
Suh--weeeeet!!

Thanks for hosting them, Tiger!!

It's just too bad none of us are photography experts, I'd love to know how to take better pictures at night.

Last but not least, I totally forgot to compliment both cars. The Midnight Pearl is georgous, especially when you look upclose during midnight, I guess that's why they named it that way. Terrence's car looks great, too, better in person than on the computer screen. BTW, when are you changing rims? :D

Personally-wise, I'm so relieved they're just as great!! :p

Out of us three, I soon came to realise I'm the crazy one.

Yeah.. BostonNSX and I are just virgins .. LOL :D!!
 
nsxjoy.. where did you get the 02 rear valence, WW side skirts, and front air dam painted and installed? Did you also get the JGTC parallel exhaust?

Thanks,
Rob
 
I brought my car to Auto Engineering Body Works.

I used all the connections I have to cut in line and got the work done in 4 days at no extra cost. However, it's still pretty expensive IMHO. They are known to do body works on high end cars like Porsche, Ferrari, Lamborghini, even Lancia and nothing below Mercedes and BMW. They refused to do the my car at first because it isn't exotic enough ;)

Let me break down the price for you, I've the invoice in front of me.

CUSTOM INSOLATION
FRONT BUMPER SPOILER
REAR BUMPER SPOILER
LEFT & RIGHT ROCKER PANEL MOLDINGS
REFINISH & PAINT
AFTER MARKET PARTS SUPPLIED BY OWNER

LABOR 3,755.00 3,755.00
PAINT MATERIAL 500.00 500.00
BODY MATERIAL 150.00 150.00
FLEX 45.00 45.00
EPA 25.00 25.00
Mass Sales Tax 5.00% 25.00

TOTAL $4500.00


It's worth every penny, their reputation is only better than Dick's Autobody.
 
Thanks for the lead... I'm still looking for a local mechanic I can use to install some parts for me.. any suggestions? I'm in Boston.

Hope to also meet you guys sometime soon when the weather
gets better!

Thanks,
Robert
 
NSX isnt Exotic enough? Surely BMW is MORE exotic

I take that as a Insult and I will never go there again if I were u
 
Terrence,

I was referring to 7 series and Z8 when I said BMW. With recent movies like FF2 and other people purchasing early model NSXs bastardizing them, it is not surprising that our car is losing its exoticness.

I didn't take it as an insult because they didn't know where I'm coming from. I could be another punk, you know. The owner is a very nice guy, some people just need sometime to become friendly.

Spike,

My mechanic works at the dealership where I bought my car. It is unlikely that you can use him. However, I can get some info on a couple trust worthy mechanics. Gimme sometime and I'll find out for you.
