wow. amazing. the car is beautiful and in great shape. looks like everyone gonna be keeping tabs on this one!

your cl in present form is painful to look at. if only you could've kept it the way it was + the nsx. that would've been one hell of a garage pairing. i think you should run the work vs-xx's again on this one lol. this time the staggered look will actually have performance benefits.

I would say keep the current front end, even though I like the non flip up better. I know there are some nasty ass front ends for these, and honestly I would say sleepy eyes would look cool as hell too. Also get some nice rear diffusers, those look so amazing with some nice angled up pipes. Something like this:

I know that's the second gen, but you get the point.

That is one of the few (re: only) widebody for the NSX that actually looks good.

That particular car needs more wheel in the rear though.

I will. Its just a bit disheartening when most of them stay on the market for ~6 months (some longer), while this one sells in two friggin' days. The backup I had my eye on sold in three days (a black '93 from a dealer)

Maybe its the universe saying now isnt the right time

lol, I see, it looks like I was in the ballpark and you have had about 5 months or so to think about my post (#1631) in your build thread. hehe

It's always in flux, don't let it discourage you.

If I had the adequate positive cash flow right now, I would get one in a f*cking heartbeat.

Good Luck with the hunt!

pdiddy, is this the guy you purchased your NSX from? It looks very similar. Remove the spaces between nsx if the link fails.

http://www.n s xprime.com/forum/showthread.php?t=156128&highlight=first+class+auto motive

Anyway, I know NVA-AV6 is your go-to-guy when it comes to repairs; however, I was going to recommend First Class Automotive there in Orlando if you needed an alternative a little closer to your locale.

Nabil did a couple of alignments for me a couple years ago and he comes highly regarded over on NSXprime. When my clutch/flywheel finally sh*ts itself, this will be the place I take the car for the repair.

I thought his NSX came from Cali?

NINJA EDIT - The guy in the link posted owned a '91 5MT, diddys is a '95 4AT.

DOUBLE EDIT - His is this one:

Trust me, me too. I was looking for like two weeks now but the only one i could afford is early years like 91-93 which are 20years old. And i like the later design more. Spending 30g on that old vehicle must be nuts but i know i would i would want to keep a cl and get that thing too. Talk to Paul about the project i told you about but im not sure how the AT tranny will handle it.

One more question that i have to ask.

Why in hell would you spend that much money on NSX with >auto< tranny?

Anyway i love the car. I wish i could afford one

you said you like the later design better. you can always do the facelift which i think i might do. i got the auto because im one of the rare people that could careless about a stick. it just doesnt appeal to me.
