I'm registered also! See y'all there!

Ah, I remember why I had 21 as the NA2 coupe number in my head now! The 2001 coupe that is listed as automatic is actually a manual - I think the Wiki is incorrect here. It sold at Barrett-Jackson a few years back to @NYCNSX but not sure he still has it. So, in summary, there are two manual 2001...

Definitely black if the options are red or black jersey! Who's doing the upholstery work? Assuming they're doing the cushions too? It's awesome to see so much seats activity again!

I think the number of NA2 coupes is 21 by my math. At least, that's what I tell myself, lol. There's no such thing as a "fake" R/S! Conversely there's no such thing as a "real" LHD R/S or a 100% recreation on this side of the pond. Everyone is just varying degrees of modification on that...

^^ indeed there are... my euro twin! Except your car is much nicer than mine :D Don't forget on that chart, 00+ have updated LMAs too. Idk if that rises to the level of critical threshold or not but I figured ti was worth the shot :)

Interesting - I didn't know you could get orange stitching from the factory on the OEM orange/black type S seats. The ones that I've seen all have black stitching..

Yes, they're well north of $1000... maybe for a pride, not a genuine GT-one. I sold an SS 5.1 for $2200 back in 2017 and they've only gotten more difficult to find since then.

Yes, I'd probably just use the shuttle if you can. I parked down there last year and while it was fine the first two days, race day was a nightmare - took almost 2 hours each way just to get in and out from the track.

Paging the legend @DreamPowered - can't remember if he has KSP or RFY headers, but he has KSP muffler so might be able to help.

Excellent viewpoints, with one small clarification, there are a few non- Zanardi coupes with colored roofs :) namely, there are a few Brooklands 94 cars w a matching green roof, and 3 NA2 coupes originally ordered w body colored roofs (I guess more if you count Berlina Black NA2 coupes... or...

Yes, you want a maintainer. Trickle chargers as Doc said can overcharge... ask me how I know... Been using a battery tender on the NSX and a NOCO genius on two others cars for 6+ years now - both brands are great. I prefer the NOCO but both are solid.

Nicely done and looks great! What you're feeling in corners is definitely a combo of everything - coilovers, R front sway, R chassis bars, reduced unsprung weight from the S wheels and possibly even the tire compound. For me, doing these things in sequence all resulted in incremental positive...

Interesting but doesn't seem like the coupe - if you pause the video at the right times, looks like the breaks on the roof line for the targa top are there. There's at least one USDM Monaco targa running around Japan with a painted black roof, so it seems more likely to me that this is it rather...

Agreed - Leatherique has been the only cleaner / conditioner that I've found to be any remotely worthwhile in terms of actual lasting results. Used it in all my cars - leaves a nice matte finish. It's a bit annoying to apply, but the results are well worth it and once you do the first long...

Ouch - the fit on those covers looks quite poor. Curious to see if anyone has more pictures / experience with them - I'm particularly curious about the fit/finish and the quality/uniformity of the weave on the shells.
