Chris, I had a 1980 911. Even with WAY less power than your 930, taking corners in it was sometimes akin to driving a pendulum...the engine is wayyyyy out back.

However, I loved the "raw" feel of the car. IMO that was the last series of 911's that had an old school, almost agricultural feel. Great experience with every drive.

WOW. That is spectacular. I wish I had the ability to do a resto project myself.

Thanks Sir! If you have the ability to be a Doc, I'm sure you have more than enough ability to do a resto project. It takes far more patience than any kind of gift or talent.
Thanks again.

Joey, I had a '77 that I had to sell to purchase my first NSX. It was when you could give a mid-year away:smile:
I've also driven a highly modified turbo and it was ridiculously scary and the clutch effort was memorably awful. Anyhow, I'm curious to see how this one behaves with less power. I'm no racer anyway; just want to have some fun.

Hope all is well with you and the family and that you're all getting settled.

Have had a lot of fun with this car this September and it's been received very well.

I won the exotic class at a local car show, which was a new experience.


Months ago I decided I wanted to go to nsxpo and track it. It's not my intention to be owned by this car, even though I try to keep it as clean as possible.
So, my brother helped me with a healthy dose of blue tape to protect the paint. The car performed flawlessly at the track despite having less than 100 miles on it after completion.





A few more from nsxpo which was the most fun I've had in a long time. Actually, it was without a doubt the best automotive gathering I've ever been to. Kudos to all of those who are part of making that event happen!

It definitely didn't look its best at the banquet, but I got my freak on last week and it cleaned up very nice.
My bother took these pics, most likely to send to the mental institution he believes I escaped from.

Nice pics, are you running the OEM Type S/Zanardi suspension?

No, I installed the OEM Type S/Zanardi suspension and I couldn't come to grips with the ride height. So, I packed them up and put them in storage.
I'm running bilsteins on the low perch with RM lowering springs. The bilstein struts have been painted and springs and perches powder coated to make them look OEM.

Wow wow the bottom of your car is cleaner than the inside of my car

Chris your car was one of the stars of expo.....not many cars get into the banquet

:smile: Ha thanks. When I had it aligned I was told I could drive it upside down and it would look just as good.

Thanks Doc it was certainly a high honor for an amateur like me. This car was way more work than I initially thought it would be and I'm so pleased at how well it was received.

Thanks again!

In case he didn't explicitly say it in his humbleness, CMC won the people's choice at the NSXPO concourse (got my vote !) . Car was such a treat to see in person , thanks for sharing it with everyone and the award was well deserved !

 

[cmc140]

Many thanks guys. It's a real pleasure to hear your kind words.

Thanks again,
Chris

[MENTION=13572]cmc140[/MENTION] looks like you babied it around the track... the rotors still look new! lol

Doc,

I think it is about time Chris gets a psychiatric evaluation!!

Chris,

WOW.....that is really the only word that comes to mind! The car looks fantastic!!

 

[Arkaid]

Chris, glad you were able to take the car out to NSXPO and enjoy it on the track! It's looking great as always. Hope all is well.
