New '98 Owner in the Philippines.

[MOMSPH]

Just received my 1998 3.2L 6Speed in the Philippines from the USA. Hope to learn a lot from this forum.

 

[HockeyGoalie]

Congrats on receiving your car, please post pictures. What color is it? Where in the USA did you find it?

 

[MOMSPH]

The unit is still very dirty from shipping so I am currently having it detailed before pictures are taken.

I found the unit online from a Private seller in Colorado. It it silver, code of color is MH-546M or kaiser silver metallic..I am assuming that is correct.

Congrats ! I lived in Manila 1997 to 2003 and didn't see a single NSX when I was there.

Where are you in the Philippines? Manila? I haven't seen a sports car in the Ph.

 

[MOMSPH]

I live in the Capital Region...Metro Manila. May I know when you were here last? Please check out vid link below.

Having been to Manila (and Subic) on a few occasions, I'm am worried on how you intend to drive the NSX on such poor condition roads. Even at stock height and 16/17 wheels, it's going to be a bumpy ride.

The only sports car I've seen while in the Makati/Malate area is a C5 Corvette and a base model 911.

congrats! I visit there once every year or so. I'll be back there in February next year for a Palawan getaway. If you're interested in getting a set from Rota i'll be happy to go in with you.

We've had several new roads open up recently. With the Asian boom comes new dealerships, Lamborghini, Maserati, Ferrari, Porsche have open up showrooms here.

If you've been to Subic, kindly view the link below..it was filmed in Subic Bay.

I'll be back in Sept. I have seen one in Makati around Green belt area.

There's a couple I know of..'92 and '93 models

Congrats, I am sure you'll enjoy the car. It will most certainly turn some heads!

 

[condumbwerkz]

Congratulations! My friend always goes back every year and he told me it's super rare to see an NSX, so I'm positive you will get a lot of head-turners

 

[synergy004]

It is difficult to drive in that traffic there. Those buses are ruthless. Taxis flooding the roads, jeepnees and Tri-cycles here and there. What doesn't help is the people just walk out in traffic to cross the road. I would hate to drive the NSX on pothole heaven.

 

[RYU]

My guess is the OP isn't going to be driving this in rush hour traffic. :smile:

If I had my NSX there the drive to Subic or Taal/Tagaytay would be pretty decent. Assuming no torrential rain storm catches you by surprise!

 

[MOMSPH]

You're right, the car will be used on weekend fun runs. Weekday traffic is just hell to dive this car.

Awesome, the Red NSX I saw was in the thick of traffic and nearly was hit twice in a 2 minute span.

I do hope you enjoy her, would like to see your new ride this coming September if you have time available.

Best Regards
Gil

Do let me know when you get here. I will post pictures soon. I guess it's ok for me to just disable the aspirator fan here since it's making loud irritating noise and not suitable for our tropical weather?

 

[MOMSPH]

Welcome to the Manila, Philippines. Hope to include the NSX on the line up soon.

 

[MOMSPH]

My NSX prior to having it shipped.

 

[PHOEN$X]

What a beauty, congrats! I have a 97 Kaiser Silver NSX, and I love it. Enjoy yours! That YouTube video rocks too!

 

[kenjrbanga]

Wow, how were you able to get that car thru customs? Manila is full of ferrari's, gt-r's lambo's, porsche's & audi r8's. Did you get your timing belt changed before you had it shipped over there? Congrats on your NSX.

Yes fortunately, the previous owner changed the timing belt and installed CT engineering supercharger shortly thereafter.
