Hi Primers - my name is Sean and I'm from Aurora, IL. I joined here a few years ago, but have been lurking on here for years before that. I planned on having my first post here be when I actually bought an NSX, but decided that it was time to introduce myself to all of you friendly & helpful folks. I've learned a lot from this great community.
A little about me. I'm 31, and have been engaged since 2012. We're getting married in 2 months now on our 6 year anniversary. The fiancee is on board and wants me to get my dream car. I work at a Honda dealership as a Used Car Manager and love what I do. I've dreamed about owning an NSX for over 15 years. I've owned lots of Hondas: 1989 CRX Si, 1990 CRX Si, 1991 CRX Si, 1995 Integra GSR, 2012 Civic Si. My most recent Honda was a major project. It was a black 1991 CRX Si with an SiR front & rear conversion, and a JDM B18C ITR motor...among other things. Here's a couple pics of it:
For anyone that's interested, you can view my picture loaded build thread of the car here: http://crxcommunity.com/viewtopic.php?f=26&t=93922
Just recently, I decided to take the plunge and strip nearly every part on the car to part it out. It's a little sad, but the car is worth way more in parts.
Many hours later, and this is how the car & my basement look now:
My plan is to part the car out over the next few months, and use the money as a down payment on an early model NSX. My only requirements are: pop up lights, under 100k miles, Black on Black, manual trans, unmodified or basic mods, and good condition & maintenance history. I'm planning on a budget in the neighborhood of $35k. I joined Penfed several years ago in anticipation of one day buying an NSX. My credit is excellent, and so getting approved shouldn't be an issue. Hopefully I should be able to make a purchase by the Spring.
The NSX bug has bit hard lately. Even found a Tamiya NSX-R model from Japan. This was my first ever model attempt...took around 40 hours to make lol
Here's the favor request. I was hoping that a local prime member would be nice enough to at least let me ride in their car. I've never even sat inside an NSX before. I've gotten very close to them, but just never made it inside one. I know I'm going to love it, but I feel like I need to experience it now. Thanks for reading & I look forward to meeting/talking with you guys.
