Saw a black or dark gray one turning west onto Deer Valley from Cave Creed Rd on Saturday afternoon. Loud exhaust.

Spotted a white one southbound 51 about half hour ago. Missing centercaps, kinda ratty exhaust. Popup headlights. Otherwise clean.

Pristine! Congrats.

Saw an NSX a couple weeks ago at the Trader Joe's near Shea & Tatum. Gave the driver props as he was just leaving as I was heading into the store.

Fantastic trailer :)

Just wondering if it was anyone from Prime. Saw it today heading south on Snowden River Pkwy. Sounded mean, looked great. First I've seen since I saw a red stock-looking flip-up headlights vintage NSX maybe a few months ago over in Olney on 108. Gave them both a thumbs up. Nice to see NSXs on...

Re: Joe Gibbs and Joe Gibbs Racing Present: "Game Plan for Life", Tysons Corner, VA Interesting, thanks for the heads-up. Now if only I wasn't in between owning cool cars at the moment... :biggrin:

I saw a nice stock-looking red one in Olney on Saturday around 12:30pm. Gave him a thumbs-up. :smile: Saw a white one on Rt. 100 last week but couldn't catch up to get a good look at it.

Spoon offering Type R conversions for USDM NSX New post on AutoBlog: http://www.autoblog.com/2008/08/20/spoon-to-recreate-nsx-type-r-in-lhd-trim-for-u-s/ Spoon to recreate NSX Type-R in LHD trim for U.S. Honda's decision to only offer one Type-R model in the U.S. – the DC2 Integra – is...

well to be honest, if you're already planning to go crazy with it (re-do the engine internals, suspension, kit, wheels, brakes, interior, etc) you ARE saving a lot by going with an older model year and higher mileage. Why drop $60k for an '05 when you could drop $20k for a '92 with many miles...

Ah yes, the ol' Honda/Acura starter technique. Every Honda and Acura I've owned in the last decade has required this. =\ Gotta let the fuel pump pressurize the system before starting, it seems.

Definitely agree that a budget kit finds its biggest audience in folks who aren't planning to build up the engine (they're on a budget, right?) and want to just pull as much potential from the stock engine as can be safely had. This kit looks very enticing! :)

If I had $58k I'd be having it PPI'd right now. But I don't so I just try not to covet what I can't afford. :biggrin:

Well it shouldn't be oily, but in many cars water vapor will come out of the vents if, on a hot & humid day, you run the AC, turn it off for a dozen seconds or so, and turn it back on. The condensation from the rapid temperature changes in the vent system will mistify (if that's a word lol)...

Nice. Also the Benz will be more consistent since there's no chance of a missed shift, bad launch, etc.
