Hi Primers,
It's been a while since I registered and never took the opportunity to introduce myself.
I come from France and have been living in Switzerland for more than 10 years now.
It's been around 15 years that I planned to purchase a classic sport car. I was (and still am) highly interested in Alpine but for prctical reasons, I had to defer the purchase of the object of my desire in time. Actually, downtown Paris isn't a decent place to own a car, then it was time to move to Switzerland and time went on with more immediate things to do.
In the meantime, I purchased a Honda Fit and beforehand had been getting to know the brand. As many French men of my generation, I was a Prost supporter, and lived the dramatic period he used to drive against Senna for Macca. This to say that I had some lack of interest in Honda in general and the NSX in particular (too closely related to Senna). And above all, half of my familly comes from the region of Maranello and I had spent a significant time of my childhood in Alfa Romeo
.
The good thing is that I was always attracted by sporty rides in general and high revs engine in particular. So it was just a matter of time before the interest in Honda was triggered and me being totally converted to the values of the firm and the products. Also, financial ressources went up, and when the time had come to purchase my first classic, all the conditions were set up for me to seriously think about the iconic NSX. After some research, I finally found the one I would purchase. Let me introduce my 1991 Red NSX:
It was delivered in Switzerland with these aftermarket rims which were homologated for the model. These are OZ Futura 17 at the front and 18 at the back. Front tyres are 215/40 and back ones are 255/35. I'll change them in Spring.
The only non original parts are the coilovers. They are said to be KW V3, which I need to check. I'll do it next Spring as well when I will higher it a bit. It is yet too low.
Other than that, my daily Fit is perfect for my hardly 7'000km urban yearly distance, and I am currently looking for an Alfa Romeo as secodn classic (yes, childhood memories never fade)
Happy to be part of the community.
Cheers.
Rollo
