Glad it was mostly dry for you! A good thing, then, that I opted-out... if I was there, it would have then POURED! LOL... I look forward to trying again next time.

Sorry to miss y'all. I opted-out when faced with high probability of rain/thunderstorms. I'm close enough that I have the good fortune to go pretty much at will when the weather if fair. No need to put these assets at risk today.

see previous post.

Hope everyone has realistic expectations about doing any 'zesty' driving... On a prime-time summer weekend on 129/ToD, it will be a 15-20 mph bumper-to-bumper parade procession, not spirited country driving. Still, it will be nice to convene with other owners. If any participants are up for...

I'm in. Coming from N. Ga. So, I won't make the initial meet-up in Townsend TN. ToD is about 3 hrs from my home. I'll reach that area about ~10am, and rendezvous as the group makes its' way SB on 129, to join the line-up and continue to Robbinsville from there.

Osthoff room AVAILABLE . Share half of a 2-BR suite at Osthoff with Mark and Maria Hicks. Double suite is $255/nt. Thurs-Sat, 3 nts, $765. Your cost is $382, $127/nt. If you've not been there, sharing a double suite gets you a private room/private bath/private TV. plz email me...

excellent, thanks for the info Doc. PS, I've got some spare SSRs: 2 17s" and 1 18". The other 18 is broken. Need? Make offer. Cheap.

sounds good, Doc. What wheels are you using then? With the 235 fronts, how much steering lock do you lose? I know from experience with my Porsche and also on my existing plus sized 16/17s on the NSX, one can't use about 10% of full lock.

edited OP, added width.

no doubt, it's been said before... but, I'll raise this question anew. Re-shoeing my NSX with 17X8.5/18X9.5" Tecnos, and considering using Toyo RA-1. Looks like the size options are 205/40/17 front and 275/35/18 rear. I'd like to use a 215 in front, but, does not appear to be available. Opinions...

for interested Primers, I am the seller. This auction is seriously legit, I have many years of credibility in this community. This car is seriously badass. For comprehensive details, please see the auction listing. Happy Bidding!

Hugo made a stop here in N. Ga. at the Global HQ of Chin Motorsports. The windows on NSXNUT have been re-habbed, better than new. Hugo is a legit expert master of his craft. Well worth my money. Recommended.

interested. I'm in Atlanta. Do you have a calendar window to do an install in Atlanta? Actually, northern suburbs, I-85 side of town.

Doug, that vid is sourced from Chin Motorsports... we're at Sebring as usual on Friday, and this is the view from the Chateau Elan balcony. Posted by our own staff, and now viral across NSX websites/FB pages.... !:smile:

I usually resist the temptation for shameless plugs. But, my brethren have called me out... :smile: The humble beginning of Chin Motorsports was an informal gathering of NSX enthusiasts at Sebring in 1999. Today, Chin Motorsports is the largest provider of non-competition sports car track events...

... a good excuse to get together for a drive to N.Ga. Maria and I won't be available though, we'll be in Europe for a highly-anticipated trip to Nurburgring and Spa-Francorchamps.... I've toured AMP numerous times in the past year, for planning and preparation for the first big track event...

lots of beautiful portrait shots here. How 'bout an action shot: Road Atlanta, downhill approach to T10a. est. ~120mph. Hand signal indicates preparing to pit.

regarding water in the trunk, there's probably no issues with the seals... it's the drains... For those that don't already know, there is a drain port in each of the trunk lid forward corners, same vicinity as the hinges/struts. Water naturally flows in to the gaps between the trunk lid and...

I also drive a Mazda3/Hatch for DD... mine's an '04 3S, pre-"Speed3". The 3S at that time came with 17s, better brakes and susp, and 2.3L/170hp. Basically, everything on the Speed3 EXCEPT the turbo... :redface: . That's OK, I already have 1 hot rod... I've owned the Mazda3 6 yrs and love it...

Maria and I lived in the heart of the Rockies for several years. Denver is ideal in mid-Sept. Mtn drives can be spectacular, Aspens and cottonwoods turning. I always struggle with getting my Chin Motorsports track event schedule to coincide with NSXPO... but, if it fits in 2012, we're there...

Hrant, in the interest of being hopefully crystal clear: the jack was nearly full height, lateral load on the greasy spot pushes the jack head back ever-so-slightly, off of the frame rail and onto the side skirt. Gravity takes over, and everything in the vertical plane above the jack gets...

...to clarify any confusion, wheels were on the car. The car had only just been jacked up, and the slip occurred in the brief interval between raising the car and positioning the jack stands....

Mitch's story reminds me that being an NSX owner has also changed my life... seriously... Here's the Cliff's notes: After a relentless career in hotels and restaurants in the 80's and 90's, I had become successful enough to buy an NSX in 2000. Then, I did my first track event. Then, I did more...

Oh, PS, I got the only OEM brand-new passenger door in the country currently. Brand-new, in the box, not a take-off. So, if you happen to need that door, oh well, you'll have to wait for the next one to come from Mother Honda!
