Gotta love Acura Zine.

Tommy points out hard core solid proven facts regarding Lexus vs Audi. Gets called a troll.

just when i thought no one can be as bad as SSFTSX.

I'd love to see a debate between SSFTSX and Tommy about Acura vs. Lexus.

Yumcha

The RLX just needs proper tires to take on the LFA.

Tommy8888

Anyways I promise everyone I'll tune it down. I have come to realize that my aggressive front on approach does not work for this forum. I'll definitely improve my manners and post styling. We all make mistakes though, but the pursuit of perfection should be always a goal for every one of us in every facet of life.

Majofo

At least a 12 second difference in the quarter.. good tires that is.

Yumcha

Your recent threads (the one I locked and the other by juniorbean) were full-stupid. Just letting you know.


One thing to be an obvious fan of a brand (which, you clearly are)...but, to be that obtuse about it? Well, hah...you're going to be eaten alive in Car Talk.

Mommy must not have changed his diaper yet.

He must be one of 1SICKLEX's disciples.

I still at how a mega mod on a Lexus forum gets banned from an Acura forum.

I'll just leave this here:

Tommy8888

Dude that was when I was still driving an ACURA. I just GOT A LEXUS IS 350. That changes my perspective significantly. I thought I was getting the TLX, but now that I'm a Lexus driver, it's different. What's wrong about that?

Do you expect Cristiano Ronaldo to still play for Sporting Lisbon when he got signed to Manchester United?

Tommy8888

Tribe can't seem to get the fact that a person's opinions changes when that person swap brands. And there's nothing wrong about that.

Sarlacc

You are about THE dumbest mother fucker on this forum right now.

Serisouly...you have giving another member a run for his money right now.

"Lexus is ugly, I don't want a Lexus they are so gross, ewwwwwwwwww....

Oh mommy is buying me a Lexus? I LOOOOVE Lexus, they are sooooo hot, and the best car ever made, thats a fact...man they look so awesome, I love Lexus"

ttribe

Nice try, but no. What you said at the beginning of the same post I referenced:

Also, let's check the date on that post - 01/14/2014. You want us to believe that you went from vociferous Acura Fanboy to Lexus Fanboy in 4-weeks. Man, you're fickle if that's the case.

oonowindoo

i can't imagine the things you would say about 4G TL if your mom got you a TL.

Rick_TL-S

Not even a remotely similar argument.

oonowindoo

Does Lexus pay you to drive a Lexus?
Last time i checked he got paid to play for Manchester United.

OK guys... Yummy replied and Tommy said he's going to tone it down.

Let's drop it and continue on with out calling him out, quoting him, etc. If he starts up again it's to his own detriment. Let's not fuel the fire now that it's starting to go out. Save that for Ramblings...

Opinions?

Mileage is a bit high imo. Would still buy and lower on Black TE37's though.

subinf

I remember those types of car phones.

oonowindoo

is this the 2016 Acura Vaporcar?

Rick_TL-S

Any specific reasons?

It just stood out since it's an unmolested example. I know 91s have some issues.


As for the mileage, I don't know if I'd consider that high for a 20+ year old car. Lot of these examples in this ballpark seem closer to 100,000 than 50k.

srika

IMO that is VERY low mileage for a 1991 vehicle, even for a NSX. It's not the kind of car that sits in a garage, people actually drive those.

Rick_TL-S

Exactly. Besides maybe the Corvette, out of the 90's sports cars, this was arguably the most reliable & best at being used every day.

I've dug through some NSXPrime threads & many owners said they DD' theirs for 5-10+ years without any major issues arising. I'm interested in actually using this one, but I won't get a chance to see it til' Monday & maybe have a PPI done to be safe. Would eventually have to pick up a $1-2K beater though to ease the wear on it, though.

ttribe

+1, I'm not seeing the mileage as an issue here.

Costco

I knew a guy who owned a '91 and he said he redlined it every day. Daily driven with 140k miles on the odo. No oil consumption issues, funny noises or performance issues.

srika

needs new rims/tires tho

Yumcha

FWIW, where I'm at, it has one of arguably the harshest winters in North America and there are people who use the NSX as their daily driver...all they did was slap on winters when it got cold and kept on putzing.

Mind you...you had to wonder about the overall safety given how the roads here are typically dominated by giant SUVs and pickups...the NSX' aluminum shell is not exactly conducive of surviving a "bump" I would think...?

Costco

I can't speak about the actual safety of the car, but it must be considered that the vehicle was designed in 1989. Standards were simply lower back then. It is also much lower than the average car, so you'll probably be kissing an SUV's bumper in a side impact. There's a reason why so many cars these days have such high beltlines.

Still worth it.

subinf

Mileage isn't high at all. It is actually priced well. I was debating editing my original comment. Poking around craigslist I found a few similar ones (mileage/price). If I was in the market for an NSX I would probably lean towards a newer model. Just preference - nothing to do with the car.

can anyone advise on the best place to get a quality HID kit for a 2006 IS350? thanks in advance
