Isn't the 6-speed clutch assembly significantly heavier than the 5-speed? That might explain reduced response in comparison to an early motor.

The idea of "better" oil is highly subjective. Different oils are better for different applications. In many cases hydrocracked gp-4+ oils are actually better than full synthetics, it really depends on the application and i5t's something that actually be analyzed scientifically knowing...

Looks like the car is off the market. I never talked to the guy, I wonder if a prime member ended up with the car.

Watch the big TV auctions for a while. You will learn that every car sold at those auctions goes for far beyond normal prices.

I actually felt that the FR-s was woefully underpowered. It needs about 50 more horsepower to really be enjoyable outside of the track.

Bump! Cash in hand!

That's just cruel and unusual.

Hmmm interesting. Did you get him on the phone? I haven't talked to him yet.

I guess if you are referring to the shoddy build quality, it's a valid comparison. Anyway, I'm just messing with you. I have a few buddies with Wanker-powered mazdas and I poke fun at them all the time. I still wouldn't ever buy one considering how overpriced they have become due to F&F crowd...

Yeah but they sound like a weedwhacker on steroids, have the ride quality of a soapbox racer, and look like japanese firebirds, IMO. ;)

Cars at those auctions always tend to sell for bizarre prices. I think for the money there are a few cars of the same vintage that might be just as collectable for less money, strictly from a collectors standpoint. 850CSi comes to mind.

Rice, IMO. It's already a popular trend with the jdm vtec yo crowd, ala altezza lights or something.

I did see the wiki entries and previous discussion. I'm going to talk to the dealer on tuesday. Yeah, the nitrous is a sign that the car was beat on, which would probably be a deal-breaker with any other car, but the NSX powerplant seems to be remarkably resilient. If it passes leakdown test I'd...

At that price I would have plenty of money to tear it down when I got it home. Drop engine, replace clutch and all wearables (assuming there is no record of last change), pull head and inspect +replace HG, reseal everything and button it back up. I'm guessing the parts would run about $3500 for...

There is a SC'd NSX that has been for sale for a long time now (I remember seeing the ad quite some time ago). It's the black one with a CTSC and a nitrous kit. Assuming that the car has good compression/leak-down, what's to stop someone from buying this car, removing nitrous kit, and doing an...

LOL! If you do see those stolen guns, let me know! I'd love to have them back in my collection.

Probably just as likely that the new owner found Jimmy Hoffa's body in the trunk, too. But hey, I hope the new owner gets years of satisfaction and enjoyment out of the car, especially with all the money they probably saved on the purchase due to your antics. :)

So, for those of you who have found your cars, how long did you have to wait to find an NSX in your color preference? Months? Years?

For the record, all mentions of dash swap have been removed from the ad at this point.

I don't think adding personal threats to this issue is going to help anything. If anyone else has questions, PM me. I'm happy to discuss it.

Quoted for posterity. Here is an edit history of the ebay ad, something I hadn't noticed before. It's unclear what the edits were. Here are some of the messages between the seller and myself. These took place after the deposit had been payed and after I noticed the ad mentioning the dash...

Frankly, I disagree. The NSX is not 2013 stunning. The styling is a future classic - it is the absolute essence of the '90s. While I understand you feel strongly about the car (I love it too), I think you will find that if you ask any group of enthusiasts for a certain model of car, they will...

The NSX is not a "beautiful" car, IMO. I do love it for what it is, though. The styling, while somewhat subdued in the world of supercars, was very unique and will always be iconic for many reasons. It is not so much a natural beauty to me as it is an icon of performance, engineering, and...

Amazing

I was just browsing through threads in this forum... I don't want to be rude, but most of the wheels in this thread look extremely tacky IMO. I think chrome went out of style in about 1970... Also putting massive wheels on an NSX much to the detriment of the performance for which it was...
