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:

Congrats! Gorgeous color, such a great find!

Congrats on the beautiful color and the purchase in general. Welcome to the club!

Congratulations!!!

Love this color and year for many reasons.

Can you post some interior pictures?

Thanks!

At the August Cars & Coffee

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

That is a killer color.

Took this night shot and the color just POPS.

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.

Congrads

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?
