    Anybody loose an NSX?

    It's good to know, some people read every post on the forum. The mystery is as good as solved.

    Anybody loose an NSX?

    Is anybody in the USA missing an NSX? In that case, I've found it. When I went to pickup my NSX this afternoon (following it's yearly MOT check), I was surprised to see another NSX at my local dealership. What are the chances of two NSX's at one dealership in the Netherlands. I'll tell you, one...

    I'm back !!!

    I'm always late replying to any thread, but better late than never:...Congratulations on buying, what was probably the finest NSX for sale in the Netherlands, and of course a rare original European car. It's good to know it found a new owner in the Netherlands and didn't end up crossing borders.

    What is the purpose adn function of "helper springs"

    If I didn't double check it allready, I wouldn't post it. The longer ones are labelled NA1 F, and the shorter ones NA1 R. Who's wrong, ARK, or us. So for setting the ride height, I have the substract the height of the helper spring from the total coilover length? Sounds like it'll take quite a...

    What is the purpose adn function of "helper springs"

    This week, I received my set of ARK ST-P coilovers. I was surprised they have little springs installed under the main springs. It doesn't show these in any of the ARK advertisement pictures. What is the function of these, and do they fully compress under the load of the car. If so, it'll be...

    Toyo Time Attack Zandvoort 14/03/2010

    Ik zal er helaas niet bij zijn. De 13de vlieg ik weer terug naar de zandbak. Wij werken met roulatieschema's van 8 weken, dus als ik op "Speed" in Rosmalen will staan, moet ik m'n 8 weken er weer op hebben zitten voor begin Mei. gr. Michel Hou me op de hoogte wat betreft de voorgang van "de...

    NSX-R replica from the Netherlands

    Unbelievable, so many replies from the Netherlands. I had no Idea there were this many Dutch NSX owners on Prime. DG custom leather, started out, with just the installation of the "leatherseats.com" covers. I got a second steering wheel with the Honda airbag, I bought on Japanese ebay. I...

    My winter project

    I see you also bought left and right door sill covers. I ordered one for the drivers side, when it arrived, it was quite heavily deformed. It looked as if they used a really old injection mold. Also the vinyl was not glued on properly. Not you typical Honda quality part. I think I can just about...

    NSX-R replica from the Netherlands

    I can Imagine, someone referring to it as "ugly duckling", in the US, you would might refer to it as "beater". Let me describe the state it was in. The doors and front fender were repainted without clearcoat, and the paint was damaged, by our very own Dutch acid rain (rainspots visible all...

    NSX-R replica from the Netherlands

    Does anyone know why a 2002+ NSX on standard suspension looks lower (better) than a 1991 model, despite my 17"/18" setup. Is the later suspension lower, and if so, how much are we talking about. 710, I'm living in Roosendaal (between Rotterdam & Antwerp), when I'm in the Netherlands. Most of...

    NSX-R replica from the Netherlands

    Well, apart from the one real NSX-R in the UK (that has been in topgear), I'm not aware of any other NSX-R replica's, that look like mine, in the UK or anywhere else in Europe. There is offcourse the 2 NSX's from Sweden and Finland, only they only did the NSX-R theme upto a certain extend, and...

    NSX-R replica from the Netherlands

    Well, like I said, I had the funds to import a 2002 from the USA. Once you have the money, the conversion can be done very quickly. Most time was lost this summer, as my Honda garage, didn't have time to do the required maintenance. The cosmetic part of the job was done by just three people. One...
