Yup I like to buy the owner first, then the car. Has served me well.
Lots of "bad owners" out there that I don't want to buy from
Frank of course was the perfect owner

Absolutely!
Nice to meet you!!! No worries! So many new faces to meet and so many extraordinary cars in one place. Its quite overwhelming being a Noob here. But had an absolute blast and admittedly found myself loving so many fellow forum member cars.
I wish I had realized you were the one who bought that car...would have introduced myself. I took the group photo on Saturday night, so, in addition to you already knowing my Prime handle, you probably have figured out who I was at the event.
Funny that I didn't know the former owner is known as Frank until you posted about this on Facebook (and Patty replied). I've only known him as Klaus...and he used to post here using the handle clausibaus. I was glad I got to talk to him during WestFest since he and his wife were both on my very first NSX drive back in June, 2000. Here's a rolling shot ofhis your car from 2010.
BTW, I think we have the same floor in our garages...

Hi there,
Yeah we chatted a bit with you, but I didn't put together you were AKIRA as well! Small world indeed. I was asking you about your tires.
Loved the rolling shot. I am keeping the history of the car all in one place. He has been amazing, and loved seeing him come down to hang out with us.
I used to have blood red garage epoxy in an old house. After 15 years got tired of it, mixed it up.
https://www.nsxprime.com/members/clausibaus.5146/ 2012 was the last time he posted using that.
https://www.nsxprime.com/members/frankcgrote.40801/ this is his new account.
New upgraded steering rack installed.
New tires ordered.
Need new suspension.
My usage is lot of mountain spirited driving, and also long distance highway. Thus comfort is very important along with better handling.
I am leaning towards KW. @Honcho @docjohn and others, can I get the KW and retain my current OEM ride height? I do not want to go lower.

You may beat me to getting some new suspension but I have read a lot of good things about the ohlins at stock height. If I happen to get them before you pull the trigger on anything I can offer some feedback.
Looking forward to your feedback, I haven't pulled the trigger.
I don't think KW can be set to the OEM height. I remember reading somewhere that they are about -10 mm below stock height at their highest setting.
Got it.
I am really hoping to to stay OEM height. I am already scraping the lip spoiler everywhere around here
I feel your pain. I set my MCS to NSX-R height, which is about -10mm. I just barely make it up the steep ramp in the office parking garage without scraping!Got it.

Yeah I am ok with scraping as that is stock NSX life for me.
I had lowered cars a lot of my life, thus surprised how much this scrapes in stock height whereas my Elise scrapes nowhere in 17 years of ownership.
Thus if I lower the NSX, I won't scrape, I will lose my front bumper all together
