@KaMLuNg , how are you enjoying your P-car? Looks great!
@neuronbob loving every minute of it brother... broke 81k miles on it this week... it's boost weather out here and the car just begs to be pushed... it has exhaust, intercoolers, and an off the shelf stage 2 tune pushing 1.2bar... i've actually been running 100 octane low lead avgas in it... it just screams...
i have a mod list for the winter while in hibernation, coilovers with pneumatic front lift, custom tune and billet turbos... we will see how far down i get down my list, but the suspension is ready to go... i'm not quite to Scotty's @CLpower level yet, but i'm coming for him...
I take a hiatus from Car Talk and when I return, @iforyou has a NC1? Lucky!
Yea! I got it in early 2019, been a NSX fan since I was 10 and finally got my hands on one! And also it's needed in order to keep up with my buddy in his AMG GT S as shown in the picture lol! The CTR just gets blown away on the straight by the GT S.

i don't even know how I missed that. Welcome to the fam! I keep going back and forth about buying a NC1. I love them and have driven them in anger on a track. However, I also love my NA2. I instead twin-turbo'ed the NA2 and with 450 whp, it's now 2000's supercar fast. It's now essentially how I want it other than some minor service items, and I'm going to enjoy it for a while. Once my son is done with school in a few years, I'll be buying a NC1 finally. I can afford one now, but I'd have to sell my V wagon and my NA2 NSX to make it a "financially responsible" purchase...and i'm not ready to let go of either one of those yet.
Haha for me, I'm just a big Honda fanboy and so the NSX is like a must have. I would love to have a NA2 NSX-R but those are getting more and more pricey. Is there a thread for your NSX? Just wondering what turbo kit you are running. 450whp at about 3000lb is fantastic. I don't think the NC1 makes much more than that stock and it's like 800lb heavier.
Not sure what the market is like in your area, but here in Canada, low mileage NA2's are into 6 figures. There's a 2005 one with about 16000 miles for CAD$130k. There's a 2017 NC1 with 19000 miles with full CF package listed for $147k. So depending on the mileage of your NA2, if you do sell it, you probably don't have to pay that much more for a NC1. Since you are planning to enjoy it for a while longer (which you really should!!), the NA2 may end up being more valuable than the NC1 lol. Having said that, ever since I bought my NC1, it seems like the price has stagnated, and if anything, it creeped up a tiny bit, but definitely not as dramatic as NA1/2.
If you love track days though, the NC1 is awesome lol. It doesn't need much to be running at 100% for the whole track day!
Here in the US, a NA2 popup with some miles on it (my 1999 has 86k now) like mine is US$60-80k. A 2002-up NA2 is six figures with low mileage. Used NC1s are holding out at US$110-115 on the low end and have been there for at least a year.
I scored a free Legend over the weekend, not sure if she will be a driver or a part out yet as that will depend on title. Car has issues which is why it was free, but the body is decent. It's a base model 92 L auto coupe, showing 247k.
Congrats! Free is free, and that looks like a pretty complete car.
Those legends are only getting better and better looking over time.
She's complete & runs, interior is a bit trashed and the trans is out...but not much to get her back on the road.

Yeah sadly it is tough to find any Legend in decent shape these days and rust free. This one is at least rust free, some clear coat issues but body is pretty nice.
Car looks very clean. Love the color and look. Agree on the decal. Does it help get the group sales or something? I wouldn't even know it's a group.
The photographer did a great job. However, the foggy hills aren't framed enough. They caught my eye right away! I think there is too much ground in the shot and I would have had much more of the background above the car.

Just a Mopar club from GA. Other than getting more Mopars in the group and starting to do some charity stuff, I'm not sure what the end game of it is to be honest. I've made some very good friends through that group though.
Photographer is still pretty new and put a post out on Facebook looking for local cars to practice on for free or donation. I'll post more, he did better than I could have.
In an effort to keep the Axis Powers alive (only German's, Italians, and Japanese apply please). I've decided to add another to my arsenal (okay - begged the wife until she gave in).
The Existing Axis powers
Not wanting to go with that ugly damn, pig nosed, monstrosity that BMW is trying to pass off at the moment, the search was on for an F82 M4 that had a manual, comp package, and the hard to find sun roof. After a few month's search, found a 2018 with 4000 miles on it...located on Long Island. So. swung a deal and flew to NYC to pick it up.
Nice part about it - and I can't reveal secrets on how to deal with the wife - I'm getting to keep the S4 that I've done so much too. No way anyone is getting this thing.
Haven't had much time to do anything yet...currently has a Stage 1 tune (505hp/510tq), tint, front lip, Active Autowerke mid and tips, and new wheels/tires for snow. Little time, I'll have it looking as good as the Audi.
And most importantly...my little effort to save the manuals
Sadly though, musical cars in the driveway is not in the overall plan...the Jetta has hit the chopping block and is currently up for sale. Haven't driven it for months, and who knows, maybe another project car is in the works.
You can't argue the M3/M4 - they do everything a car enthusiast needs.
They really do...and they're the only ones left with a manual which makes them all the more appealing even with the ugly snout. I'm even willing to forgive the snout in exchange for three pedals...
I’ve previously dipped my grill but now handling the beak another way: Total replacement.
If you’ve followed the #DeleteTheBeak hashtag on IG, you’ve seen the work of @boss02126, h/t for his efforts on this project. He’s previously built grill replacements for Acura TLX and I was his first Acura RDX customer to go full #DeleteTheBeak. I chose the insert to be of a hexagonal mesh pattern that resembles the mesh pattern on the faux air vents while keeping the existing chrome trim for overall design consistency. Pleased with the way this turned out.
Busy week with house renovation work. Had a bit of spare time to show case new modifications on the M40i. Carbon fiber side skirts and carbon fiber lower front bumper inlet trims.

It's been a year and a month. Does anybody know a mobile detailer in the sonora area? Luckily the locals stuck the frame on blocks for me the first time the tires went flat.
About to return the car in about 2 months or so. Took it out and gave it a good wash since i have been neglecting the car for the last 2 year or so. (Washed it once)
Let it shine 1 last time before the new one arrives.
