^ haha.. those are the wheels I ordered, but I got them in titanium gunmetal.

 

Notice the shorty antenna in the first pic I posted. I prefer nothing to keep it clean, but can't live with the 10 ft pole antenna nor a radio.

 

i noticed that in the 94 NSX it says "acura" in the back, but the later models like 2002 it says "nsx" at the back.

If you like the wheels I am getting, I willl sell them to you @ the exact price I paid when they arrive. Around $2400 or something. Keep in mind Volk/Rays JUST raised their prices on Monday, same sets are now $500 more then before.

 

Ok now I've had some time to digest this I think my thoughts on the NSX are much like red leather interiors, I like admiring others but I don't think I'd want to live with it myself. I can see the attraction, but its just not my cup of tea.

What are your driving observations so far? I know just a few weeks ago you were adamant about keeping the 335, what got under your skin?

As for mod suggestions, I would keep it simple and clean, which is always my suggestion, wheels obviously, a suspension overhaul and a stealth audio install would be my must do mods. Then I would have to search to see if any easy power can be made, intake, headers, etc.... but I would seriously have to think about going super charged if I wanted more from the car, and I know that gets expensive. I don't think it would be hard to drop another $30k into this car.

 

i would put an HID kit, obviously in the 94 NSX as my first mod.

 

hmm I might take you up on that offer.

 

Famous last words!

Hey, Im just happy you got out of the BMW. No issue here with switching cars out so often, they just have to be used so some other sucker takes the depreciation hit and not you.

And anyway, if youre gonna have a weekend car, have a weekend car.

Cant wait to see the pics when Im not at work (blocked).

 

Congrats Jesal. I am truley jealous....

 

So looks like it has RM racing exhaust and air filter.

 

For that kind of money on a weekend car, I would have to go with a Ferrari 308 GTS (in that same color combo), but an NSX would be a close 2nd. Much more practical and reliable. too. Good choice!

 

Crossed my mind but $$$ on service would be the end of me.

 

why did you change your name?

 

 

Car is beautiful, great choice!

 

Actually, it's a change BACK to his old name. n00b!

 

oh really of course that must've been before i was on AZ in Dec 03

 

If you're looking for plates.. "VTEC YO" IS available!

 

lovin it Jesel, but i'm torn b/c i also love s2000's. congrats and can you get me a job doing whatever it is you do? j/k

 

That's the thing that the Honda RWD vehicles have over the competition...

I did some poking around on the nsxprime wiki last night, and other than the 60K maintenance and the snap ring issue on the early cars there doesn't seem to be much that's as scary as the cost with a Porsche or Ferrari...

Never did much research on the NSX, but you Chicago guys buying 'em have perked my interest... Seems like a decent alternative to a 993, and the specs (hp, weight) are similar...

 

there becoming a standard design for many wheels, but they get my vote!

 

on the new car thing.

 

As good as I've been raving to you on IM, you dorko.

 

Wow, i have'nt been on AZ for like a week because i've been busy and of course this happens... . Congrats man, the NSX is an awesome car!!

 

NSX =

 

Insurance is cheaper than the S2k was

 

What about your Astro Martini?

 

Is that because of the age of the NSX? It just doesn't seem to make sense as parts for a NSX will most likely be much more difficult to obtain if needed.

Am I the only one who likes the old skool antennae?

 

ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh


im late

congrats on the nsx!



sooo... what are you planning on trading this in for?

 

Crazy Acura is back in the hizzouse!

 

You lost all credibility with that post.

AM now hates you.

What are those, Advan model 5's ??

 

yes it's due to the age. 1994 vs 2000+ car, yup that's the difference

 

 

Look like SSR GT1s to me

 

the rims in the pic greenie posted do look like SSRs. The rims in the pic I posted look like advan model 5.

 

What's your wheel size and spec?

if they are 19" Gt-V then $2400 is a killer deal.

 

^ specs are the following:

18x7.5 (offsets: +33)

19x9.5 (offsets +36)

 

Not bad a deal.

Volk just raised their price $100 per wheel.

Do you mind telling me where you got yours? I ordered mine like 2 months ago and still not here yet. The shop that I ordered from, they are starting to get annoyed of me calling them.

I understand their point of view, but god damn... These aren't cheap stuff and I want to know when they are coming.

 

^ I ordered mine from Science of Speed. I picked them up at the OLD price, before they went up. I should have them in mid-July. They normally take about 10-12 weeks to arrive, so be patient. I just put an outlook reminder on the 10 week mark to send an email to SOS for an update on the wheels.... that way I avoid being annoying.
