Lol.... Absolutely! I just passed Poughkeepsie 20 mins ago on my way up to Vermont. Its about 2+ hrs away so maybe for something serious. I'm glad to know we actually have options here on the east coast since everything seems to be in CA/TX.

Hugo why didn't you just do this? http://www.odometer.com/modifications/5152/14-absolutely-insane-steering-wheels#slide/8/0 :biggrin:

Thanks. I must've read that article 5 times by now since I joined nsxprime haha. The transmission turns out to not be in snap ring range and he is also throwing in a spare transmission he got from a salvage yard. I will keep my eye on the shifter when doing the test drive. ;) If all goes well...

Thanks. I took a look at the car and it looks good. Does anyone know how much a Paxton rebuild would cost? He mentioned it has about 8k or so miles before it should be rebuilt. I looked on their website and it says about $500 (http://www.superchargerrebuild.com/paxton/). This does not include...

Hello there, I was looking into this car on ebay recently (http://www.ebay.com/itm/161774329952?forcerRptr=true&item=161774329952&viewitem=&sspagename=ADME:X:AAQ:MOTORS:1123) and found it to be quite a good deal. It is a 1992 with the 02-05 front end conversion, type R wing, and only 70k miles...

Great video- very informative! I noticed Hugo mentioned TCS and ABS were turned off because (I am assuming) the ABS is obsolete and TCS kicks in with larger wheel sizes? Does this mean no rainy day commuting? =/

How much does TCS setting off from larger tires affect regular driving? I am curious as to how long it kicks in for or if it just affects those who want peace of mind.

Thanks for your wisdom everyone. I have already gotten counseling from a buddy who owns an NSX and he informed me of the maintenance cost and reliability. Seems pretty solid for a mid-engine RWD supercar. I already bought a used Mazda as a commute car so I am in no rush. Funny thing is... I...

True but I'm not financing it. I'm just asking how reasonable it is with a budget. I can certainly afford an $60k car cash but I don't want to spend that much. Thanks for your concern though... I'm sure it comes with lots of wisdom. =)

Thanks. I would rather have one with less problems but hey, anything can be repaired. I have plenty of extra cash on top of $30k but would rather keep it for a rainy day. arista5 your car looks nice. =) Anyway, looks like it makes more sense to keep looking for a boosted Z.

Hello all, I have been looking for a used cars recently, specifically a fun weekend car that looks great and is a blast to drive. I looked at a lot of RWD cars and eventually settled on Nissan twin turbo 370Z. However, I have always loved the NSX and it seems like for the same price I can...
