    Pictures of my Stereo Install/ Interior Conversion

    I'm wondering how I missed this question also. Probably because I haven't been on the forums as frequently as I have in the past. Sorry. To answer your question (in case you still need an answer to this and for the any archival interest in this thread).... I didn't have any fitment issues...

    R.I.P Len3.8

    I am also saddened by this tragic news and my prayers go out to Len's family. This is a very sober reminder of how fragile life can be. :frown: .

    IYO: What COLOR should INTERIOR should I Switch 2

    Changing the interior color of your car is not an inexpensive task. I know, I changed mine from Camel to a custom Red/Black scheme. This involved new carpet kit from Acura in Black. This retails at about $1600. I needed new switches for the gas cap release, trunk release, etc.. These 3 or 4...

    Pictures of my new (to me) 600HP Sports Car

    Thanks for all the compliments....I knew I was going out on a bit of a limb posting a Porsche on the NSX forum. Yes, this car is a blast to drive. I seems very light, nimble, and tossable for cabriolet, yet it throws me back in my seat more than my SL55 did. You go through 1st gear in a...

    Pictures of my new (to me) 600HP Sports Car

    Well, I have been the happy previous owner of two NSX's in the past, a 1995 and a 1997 NSX-T. They were awesome sports cars. After my 2nd NSX, however, I thought that I would explore some of the other sports cars out there. I ended up buying an AMG SL55. As you all know, that car is a sheer...

    Longer financing periods for NSX's possible?

    Just as a comparison, I too received a financing "Blank Check" from CapitalOne Auto Finance just this past Friday, Oct. 20th. It was for a dealer used car, 72 mos. for 7.9%. When I actually talked to the dealer, their finance guy offered me a 7.49% rate for 72 mos. I'm pretty sure there was...

    Matt Hughes vs. BJ Penn UFC 63 Video

    I was both surprised and disappointed to see Penn gas out like that so badly in the 3rd round. IF he hadn't run out of stamina, I thinke he would have continued to easily handle everything that Hugh's could throw at him. It was hard watching Penn being stuck and pounded in the crucifix...

    Capital One Auto Loan Check - should i accept it?

    I have bought my last 5 or 6 cars with Capital One (and prior to the name change, People First's) checks. The checks are legit and easy way to buy cars. I do think the seller may have to jump through a very minor hoop or two, just to make sure that Capital One ends up with the title directly...

    Had some fun w/ an SL55 yesterday

    Not to be a buzz-kill here, but..... after owning 2 NSX's as well as an SL55, I'd have to say the SL55 wasn't trying as hard as it could. Love the NSX, but the SL55 is just a BEAST.

    Should I go from my M3 cab to a older NSX. HELP please~!

    Let me qualify my earlier statement by adding this. My NSX's were garaged, sunny day cars, and the M3 was a daily driver. I personally wouldn't have an NSX as a daily driver because I'm too anal about keeping it clean, pristine, scratch and dent free, etc. etc. yada yada... The M3 was a...

    Should I go from my M3 cab to a older NSX. HELP please~!

    I've had a 95 and 97 NSX-T as well as a 2003 M3 Cab. The NSX is definitely more fun to drive and is more of an exotic car. People will think you spent twice as much for your NSX than your M3. I didn't have any type of reliablity issues with my NSX's. Just buy carefully from a good previous...

    Unofficial Cleanest/Nicest NSX!

    This is my absolute FAVORITE NSX of all time. I love it. Does anybody know who owns it and if they're a member of NSX Prime? Thanks.

    What sports car do you think I should buy next?

    Wow! Great suggestions, a few I hadn't thought about. Thanks a lot. Here are some of my thoughts on some of the cars mentioned so far: 1. Gallardo......I think this car is going to be too expensive for me for a while and I like the look of the Diablo better. 2. Diablo SE.....lavender or...

    What sports car do you think I should buy next?

    Hi folks, I haven't posted for a long time, but I still read these forums on a daily basis. Last summer I sold my modded (stereo and body mods) 1997 NSX-T. This was my 2nd NSX within a 5 year period. I loved those NSX's and still do love the NSX. However, I decided I wanted a little...

    NSX or Maserati Gransport?

    I have owned 2 NSX's (1995 and 1997) and currently own an SL 55. I test drove a 2005 Maserati GranSport about 1 month ago in Atlanta. I too am having feelings regarding my SL55 that the original poster had about his CL600. After test driving the Maserati, I have to admit I too walked away...

    Aftermarket or Stock Hood

    My GT500 hood was one of my favorite things about my NSX. It seemed to be a real crowd pleaser. If people thought it was ricey, they never told me about it. I only had positive comments about the hood. .

    02 conversion questions.

    Personally, I'd go with an aftermarket front bumper. In my opinion, the stock OEM front bumper isn't low enough or aggressive enough to counterbalance the large HID headlights. That's what gives OEM 2002+ a type of "froggy" look. A little lower, more aggressive front bumper seems to balance...

    E46 M3 vs NSX

    I owned a E46 M3 convertible as well as 97 NSX-T at the same time. I can tell you that the accelleration was just about identical. I have raced these 2 cars against each, with me taking turns driving each car. It really comes down to the driver. Now if we're talking a M3 coupe vs. a NA1...

    What an ass...TEASER this is a TEASER!

    You pretty much wrote down exactly what I was saying last night as I watched to show. What a shmuck! Randall pretty much started showing his true colors during that last boardroom. There was no reason to attack Rebecca as she never attacked him. With two excellent candidates, handling the...

    Death by Caffeine

    128 cans of red bull would be the end of me. Then again, I imagine I would die much sooner due to all the Grey Goose I would be mixing with it. :biggrin:

    My thoughts..... now that I sold my NSX.

    Ken, It's posts like yours and the one's above that make this forum what it is. Thanks for the kind words. I plan on sticking around. I figure after owning 2 NSX's and spending half a year and a small fortune customizing one, I may be able to contribute meaningfully to someone's else's...

    My thoughts..... now that I sold my NSX.

    Oops! I had accidently left that line out of my original post when I had edited it. I bought an AMG SL55. Black, with black interior and 20" Lowenhart rims.
