Congrats, the handling is awesome.

I think I still have a carbon-fiberish HAI intake left over from mine. The upgraded exhaust system(left in on the car when it was traded in) made the car sound awesome.

What year?

Didn't you sell the 240?
I thought you've been rolling around in a G35.

thats a 95 nsx with the 2002 body update. i sold the 240 and the g35. i got the nsx and a nissan 07 xterra for a daily driver and to tow the nsx for track time.

Got it dynoed at 280hp @ the wheels sticking with all NA and bolt ons so far. Plan to go turbo after the paint job. I got the car lightned and wieghed in at 2980lbs with 1/2 tank of gas and no driver in the car.

Comptech Headers
Taitec Lightweight exhaust
Cantrell concepts air induction system
Apex air filter
Bored out throttle body upgrade
Tein RA coilovers
lightwieght battery
little stuff like Type-r NSX steering wheel and type-S nsx shift knob.

Leather seats have been taken out as well as the motors that powered them got some lightwieght racing sparco seats installed. carbon fiber hood and fiberglass bumper. Rolling on some 18/19 HRE's

Congrats! Nice car!

I'd go with a nice understated color personally. Not white and certainly not yellow. Maybe one of the color options they have on the newer NSX.

BTW-I work in Vista, CA near HRE wheels. I've seen some sweet cars out here...those damned things are uber expensive.

Agreed. Corvettes, GTO's, and Camaros are about as common as Honda Civics. You dont see an NSX every day. It's got exotic written all over it.

Camaros and Corvettes yes. I don't see many GTOs. That and I have a hard time noticing them. They blend in with everything else. I do notice the few NSXs I drive past. It's hard not to notice one of those.

I notice GTO's, but that's usually because I can feel my spleen shaking when they drive by. Glorious noise.

A Rice kid has a 6.0 GTO, he recently got upgraded exhaust and was tooling around campus, you could easily hear the car on the other end of campus, it was nuts.

I'd Take a GTO over a corvette (unless it was a Z06) just for the practicality and so I wouldn't stick out so much, the vette over the camaro, but I'd take the NSX over the vetter (make it a Z06 and I'd probably go with the vette, though.)

One day when I hit it big, I'll own a Laguna Blue 2002+ NSX. At least, I hope I can

granted its a 12 year car....but the engineering and quality control that was put into the nsx is amazing. everything still works perfectly. the car and engine was handmade by the best techs honda had to offer. you needed to APPLY to work at the nsx production line. the car is made out of aluminum for lightweight. and the final input of the car was done with aryton senna himself.

Congrats on the purchase. Though that car is so nineties. You should've waited for the new skyline.
