Grand Prix White Registry

[Ski_Banker]

Model Year: 1994
Color Combination: White/Onyx
Transmission: 5 -> 6 speed
Mileage: ~56k
Production #: #161
Production Date: Dec '93
Time owned: I'm the third owner, bought it in April '02

The car's story:
The car's first and second owners were college roomates at the Univ of MS years ago. They remained friends and in sometime in 1994 owner #1, then living in Memphis, picked up his friend/Owner #2 to go look at a used black 91 then for sale in Atlanta. It was apparently a disaster but 'since they were already so close' they decided to go look at a new white one for sale in Jacksonville, FL. They bought it and drove it back. Owner #1 kept the car until sometime around 2000, when he sold it to his road trip buddy who lived in Oxford MS. By 2002, owner #2 had a couple kids in college and and itch for an M3/5.
I had been window shopping for years, and seriously looking for this color/trans/year for a few months. I was getting close to broadening my color options when this popped up on autotrader a couple hours from home. I went to look at it. It was a weekend toy. No paint, no rain, no wrecks, no mods. Some deferred maintenance, AC only on high problem, 38k miles and needed a good cleaning. I bought it and took this picture when we got home.


Mods: My ownership started as 'keep it stock, clean and obsessively maintained'. Over time the obsessively maintained part clashed with the 100% stock part. The first loss was OEM shocks. I mean, who replaces those with new stock shocks? I upgraded the whole suspension to Zanardi/Koni/CT sways and NSX-R bars. Whoa, that was nice. Much better than before. And so, off we went down the slippery slope. Mods have crept in over time and it seems the car is evolving vaguely towards a JDM type S. Current mods include: suspension as mentioned above, H/E, 6spd, NA2 brakes, "Honda" exterior, HIDs, MP3 changer and some other minor stuff. I suppose the current motto is something like 'keep it reversible, clean and obsessively maintained'. The car is recovering from a tape addiction and is having some difficulty deciding what rims it wants at the moment, but looks something like below (current, XPO pics)

Mark,
Would you be flattered if I flew to the U.S. and personally stole your gorgeous white NSX? Because I'm seriously close to doing it. :tongue: :biggrin:

Thanks for the compliment!

If you're coming, bring some good English beer and give a little notice. I'll need to adjust the 'agreed upon value' with Grundy and start NA2 shopping. :biggrin:

Beautiful Cars Guys.

I've owned this 92 for 7 years and it's amazing how good it looks with all it's been threw...turbo's,blown motor etc. Never hit though.

It's currently the latest version of the SOS Stage 4. (NA 3.3) but...with the addition of the NSX-R 6 speed/4:23 using OEM twin disc.

It's definitely more potent than the previous version making 308whp on a much more accurate dyno.

In a word: Thrilling....and the tranny really brings out the best from the higher spec power plant. I've only been driving it a couple of weeks and so far I'm very impressed.

Other critical additions as well , to bring it up to date.

All the Local 360's better watch out cause "I'll put um into the Wall":biggrin:

You guys should merge the info from this thread with the "white 02-05" thread floating around somewhere else.

I was trying to collect all the owners of white 02-05 cars in that thread but this one is a nice collection as well. I'll contribute and chime in but if you want to see more pics, just click on the thread in my signature

Model Year: 2004 (Only one made in 2004!)
Color Combination: White/Onyx
Transmission: 6 speed manual
Mileage: ~ 9k
Production #: Dunno?
Production Date: Not sure...
Time owned: I'm the third owner, delivered to my home April, 2008

Special notes: Previous 2 owners were also on NSXprime, I'm the lucky 3rd owner of the only white/onyx in 2004 with an absolute mint car. Miraculously no chips on front so did a full clear bra wrap of the hood and bumpers

I would NEVER think that a white interior would look so attractive, but it does.

Here's mine... vin#JH4NA1150NT000829
Located in Fort Myers, Florida - just turned over 25,000 miles. It's supercharged, AEM EMS, water/methanol injected, 6-speed conversion, 4:55 gears, Comptech headers, Cantrell exhaust, Stacy skirts, type R hood and I just did the '02 rear conversion. The car's roof and door trim/handle had been painted white before I got it.

The interior leather was replaced with perforated seats at 17,000 miles - before I bought the car.

I've got a spreadsheet with all records of everything done including the original purchase price...and so far there is about $124,000 into this car - not including labor. I know I'll never get anywhere near that back, but the car has become therapy, and how do you put a value on that?
I've attached the.pdf file so you can see all of the mods I did. Everything in italics was completed after purchasing the car.

hey can you fix your picture links????
