Hey gang....

My buddy here in Hawaii is planning to sell his NSX after an August show.

Here's the specs....

The Ride: 1992 Acura NSX in Grand Prix White

Aero Specs:
- RM Racing front lip
- Wings West Side skirts
- DreamzSport NSX-R style Rear Spoiler

Lighting:
- HID conversion.

Sits phat on:
- SSR GT3 18" Front, 19" Rear
- Eibach Drop springs

Audio/Video:
- Alpine DVD Head Unit
- Alpine Dolby Digital/DTS Processor
- Alpine 6.5" LCD Monitor in Honda OEM Navigation pod
- Alpine Amplifiers
- Customer Reverse Camera
- Diamond Audio Speakers
- JL Audio Sub
- Optima Red Top Battery

Engine:
- Exhaust/Header (Coming soon)
- Japan NSX Type R Short Ratio Gear Set and Pinion

Misc:
- Custom Leather Seats with Suede inserts
- 35% tint
- Complete Honda Emblem Conversion with Honda Air Bag
- Reverse Indiglo White Faced Gauges

And he aint finish yet....he is customizing the door panels on the mainland US as we speak. A real car perfectionist.

Chime in if you or anyone you know may be interested. Definitely a head turner.

Pete

Your friend has a very nice car. But I definitely plan to purchase a silver or black car no matter if it's a Lexus or Acura.

Doc C,

Congrats on your NSX! What year did you get? Also, Make sure you check out NSXPRIME.COM. There is a lot of great info there.

Rogers,

Sometimes you just gotta say "WTF"! GET THE NSX!

Nbovelle,

I got a 2004 NSX with 21 miles on it brand new. It has been a great 3 months!!! It is a great car and I don't see myself selling it ever.

Rogers,
Get the NSX!!!!!! Get it NOW!!!! You won't be sorry. The GS is a great car, but get the NSX. You know you want too!!! Good luck with it.

Rogers,

Sure, Carrera's a great car. If your heart wants an NSX, then that's what you should get. If your heart wants a Yugo, then get a Yugo. There are a lot of good cars out there, just get the one you want. For me, that was the NSX. I personally liked it WAY better than the Carrera. Carrera drove great, I'm just not a fan of the fried egg headlights that look like the Boxster. The new Carrera with the round headlights (2005 or 2006) looks a lot better IMO. Good luck with your NSX. Take care.

I agree! I still think the 993 is the best looking carrera they ever made, plus it was the last aircooled which also toys with my emotions

I'm also in the market for an NSX hopefully I can pick one up with in the next couple of weeks.
I too love the they they look. I had my eyes on one before I got my gs, at the time I was still in high school.

it's not all about the HP. the NSX lacks a bit on the torque. a 360modena and NSX weight just about the same... but the modena has a bunch more power and toruqe. NSX would be hard pressed to keep up.
