Lucky.
That's exactly the color NSX and year (2002+) I'd buy, were prices not going stratospheric lately.

Back to Acura....NSX
I'm just biding my time until the new NSX is on the road and the "me first" types are trading in their 1G NSXs for new. I will have a NSX eventually...

Also, I wouldn't be surprised if some guys with their 1G NSX's keep while adding the 2G to their stable based on the rarity and value.

Just a quick capture on my way home today.
Going to drop it an inch and add spacers very soon. Should make the stance a litte more aggressive. No aftermarket wheels in the future as I love the stock forged wheels. Think they look great with the car so we will see how the shocks/spacers add to the look.

While pricey now, in 5 years you'll be kicking yourself for not buying one now, because you'll just be paying even more then!

There are NSX's out there to be had for sure, but depends what you're looking for, willing to pay, mileage and condition. Hard to find low mile, mint condition for under 65k for an 02+. With the new one coming out, I dont see the values dropping any time soon, and the more NSX's lost, the more rare and valueable they become.

They've nearly double the price for similar miles. I'm waiting for the nsx bubble to pop 😳

It won't happen. These cars are now approaching collector status. Even look through this thread alone- everyone wants one. As long the demand is there, the prices will only climb.

There are two trains of thought when it comes to the NSX...
Group 1 says: Let's improve on whatever Honda left lacking from the factory. Mod it, boost it, make it better!
Group 2 says: The NSX may not be perfect (as no car is), but it is a gem, and a damn good one at that, and changing it's characteristics is sacrilegeous.
I think both groups have valid thoughts, for different reasons. I myself fall under group 2. Although I agree the NSX could use some more power, I would never boost it. The car comes from a time when having XXX hp wasn't important. The driving feel, sound and cornering abilities is what made Honda's of yesteryear shine.

same thing about Hot Rod vs. Restored Classics.
I personally prefer the classics, Stock S2000 and stock NSX.
Putting turbo/SC on S2000 and NSX will definitely make them faster but something would be lost along the way.

Any plans for spacers? The front could use some love

Well that's a kick to the groin. Lol
I said I installed spacers. 25mm rear / 15mm front.
Wasn't about to explore 25mm in the front because very few have done it and you risk hurting the turning radius after its lowered and aligned.

I skipped reading and went straight to the pictures, sorry
It certainly looks better than before...not that the NSX ever looks bad

One on the right for me
Now that I'm not on my phone its easier to see the pictures on a larger screen. The before pictures look good but when comparing against the after pictures it looks like the car was nose heavy...
