Spotted thread

[simonprelude]

Well as everytime I seem to go out of the house I see an NSX on the road I thought a thread with all the spotted ins would be best.

Wednesday 25th April 09:00 ish Red NSX on the back of a car transporter going West on the M4 just after Reading services.

Saturday 21st April 14:00 ish Blue 02+ NSX seen going up the hill from Bath towards the M4.
(C4CEH)

[Senninha]

Out came the sun and the NSX's today.

First was dark coloured, possibly Charlotte, this morning near Lakeside shopping, R14 *** looked to have non standard rims

Second was Red/Black A13 Dartford bound around lunchtime, maybe the one I see in the area regularly, L6 maybe?

regards,

[NSXGB]

I was around that way today, but alas not in the NSX. Saw plenty of 'Exotics' making the most of it though; Orange Gallardo and two 550 Maranello's (one a Spyder)....how common.

[britlude]

spotted a bright yellow NSX sitting in traffic in the outside lane of the M20 (just past maidstone, london/M26 bound) this afternoon! hopefully he spotted the charlotte green one going the other way!!!!

the dark one at lakeside wasn't me!

[DamianW]

Saw one at Waddesdon manor yesterday, L reg red coupe. Looked great.

[Ferris Bueller]

Yellow 2002+ Seen today on A14 roundabout nr A1 junction, private plate. First other one I've seen on the road in ages.

[Silver Surfer]

Is the private plate got 'ECG' on it as if it has it belongs to a consultant cardiologist at Papworth Hospital.

SS

[Kevin]

I think L6 is Trackdemon's.

I saw a Magnum grey one today, S2 in the number plate.

[TheSebringOne]

Hey guys I feel very left out in the spotting stakes, it seems the X is more prevailent in the South (more money?) & much rarer up North, but then again I feel more exclusive & special when I drive through Manchester city centre at cruising pace & everyones intrigued with the badge! It would be nice to see another one though :D Calling all Xs in the North, my X feeling lonesome! :(

[mutley]

I think that the NSX is a car that's is very few and far between, no matter where you are. Over in NI there is about 3, (mine no longer being one as that in now in Edinburgh).

Although I do a fair bit of traveling around, I really have to say I think I have spotted less than 5 different ones on the road EVER. This was one of the main reasons I hunted for a year for one, as I was looking for something that little but "different". And now I don't think I'll ever get rid, I was expecting something good, and it turned out to be something Special

Jim

[TheSebringOne]

I can second that & probably majority of the X owners here! Something that is very different, not badged conscious, quite rare & reliable darent I say! Thank the lord I did'nt go for a 996 or even a older 348!! :D

Yeah I know exactly what you mean, although Porche was low down my list, an older Ferrari was a possibility, but lets face it, for the same money all you are paying for is the badge and not a good car. I was tempted buy a Jag XKR, but after I looked at one, I say them (well mostly XK8s) all over the place.

Jim

[TheSebringOne]

When the X arrived, it was better then the rival 348, which alot the car press stated was'nt one of Maranello finest! Plus it can & will rust, expensive to service & needs more regular TLC & was very tail happy! When the 355 arrived, the price & performance made the Porsche the only natural rival. Think you can pick up a earliest XK8 a P reg for 8-10k now & a super charged one 2-3 k more?, so much higher depreciation lost. Also the key thing is its much heavier weight & tad too GT, rather than a driver's car that the X is.

[Ferris Bueller]

Yes, that's the one.

Yes those prices are about right, and I think the other problem with it is that they still wanted the luxury of being a Jaguar, so all that wouldn't help with the weight issue, the NSX was definately the best choice by far.

Jim

[TheSebringOne]

Thats the issue, do want loads of creature comforts, which means more weight, affects handling or do you bare with basic essentials and though the X a bit tight on this options front, think Honda got it just about right! :D

The previous generations XK8 & XKR were 1685 & 1735 KGs, given the 3.2 was bewteen 1382 to 1420ish KGs, then extra weight adds upto approx 4 grown men or 5 ladies. Maybe we add tow bar & trailer to the X!! ;) The new Jags uses all Aluminium, strangely Honda thought of this idea in late 80's, before its debut in 90/91 globally! Once again the X was the innovator! :D

[Carl-1969]

Seen a very nice Silver NSX in Colchester today. Tollgate shopping centre to be exact - a "T" plate iirc. :cool:

[TheSebringOne]

Nice of you to join us Carl! :D Do you own a red X then? :rolleyes:

[Carl-1969]

Nice of you to join us Carl! :D Do you own a red X then? :rolleyes:

If only. :(

I am a huge NSX fan but owning one is out of my reach as things stand.

I have owned a CTR (EP3) for the last 4 years but a diesel beater is now the tool at hand.

I hope to do a deal on a nice S2000 this winter - who knows, if the numbers improve next year then NSX ownership may be on the cards. :D

[TheSebringOne]

Well, theres plenty of time to save up, maybe after the S2000 next time round, you might be moving up to an X! Don't worry they don't rust at all, so there will be around in many years to come! ;)

[Senninha]

Hi,

Seen tonight (Sunday) around 7pm on old A13 in the Pitsea area. Spotlessly clean all red JDM spec, reg noted, looked superb.

Hope you are here and look forward to meeting up

regards, Paul

[Rob_Fenn]

I saw a black 55 reg NSX on the M25 yesterday, coming out of Clacket Lane :D I drove past in the VX220.

[DamianW]

Saw a silver 02 model on the M40 on Saturday.

These things are common as muck!

[TheSebringOne]

Rob, a 55 reg plate must have been one of the very last sold or maybe even the final 12? If so, I suspect it was a different black as these 12 were unique one off colours? :rolleyes: Mind you at speed, black is like any other black! ;)

[Lankstarr]

Spotted ORANGE NSX on A11 today at 4pm.

Simon??

Or could it be T1NSX back on the road?

I spotted an Orange NSX on the M40, northbound today. Wonder if it was the same one!

god this is sad.

[simonprelude]

Not me :(

As far as I know my car is tucked up in bed, waiting to be washed :)

T1 has a new plate also, not sure if it is back on the road either.

[TheQuietOne]

Guessing neither of you saw any part of the plate then?

[TheSebringOne]

Simon, so P27 is lazy as tucked up in bed & does'nt wash either! I hope who ever its owner is, is not like it's car! ;)

T1 NSX may be back on the road?, has it been in storage or rejuvanted after an unfortunate RTA? Why would someone change the reg plate & not use a NSX plate on a X? :rolleyes:

[simonprelude]

The plate T1 was retained by the previous owner and I think has been advertised on here for sale.

The current plate is T506CSB (or was) HPI still seem to think it is as well.

If it's any help, the driver had a beard! :D

It looked like a very deep black.

[kowalski]

Saw an Imola Orange NSX on the A264 roundabout just off the A24 on the way to Plans Motorsport, i assumed it had come from there but they hadnt seen it. Think the reg was W162 or something like that.

Graham at Plans has had about 20 NSX's customers, a lot of them have not been on here.

Ditto, only it was heading onto the A29 southbound from Horsham. Saw it on my way home from Plans.

Saw your car Leigh, like what you've done to the a-frame and engine bay.

[TheSebringOne]

More CF work at Plans Paul? What is the a-frame? :rolleyes:

[kowalski]

Thanks Paul, if ide been a bit earlier setting off would have seen yours too!

[Lankstarr]

That must be the most sighted Imola NSX in the country!! They must be doinga fair few miles. any W162s in the spreadsheet Simon or could this be another pop up IOP?

[Rob_Fenn]

Saw a red NSX on Friday, K20 NSX.

[simonprelude]

Saw a Red one on Sunday around Corley services on the M6 at 11:00 going towards Rugby, I was heading towards the M42 in the S2000.

No secret, Simon and I have spent many an hour discussing how much I love his car and the colour....

[TheSebringOne]

When you were searching for a X, did you not think about getting one in Simon's colour? I assume you did'nt know Simon at the time? So you went for a red instead, any particular reason? Maybe rarity & residuals had a slight influence on your final choice? :rolleyes:

[Rob_Fenn]

Saw an H reg red NSX in Sevenoaks today, with big wheels :) They really are common as muck!

[QuietJim]

Goldy orangey one N5 XSR on Upper Chobham Road just outside Frimley on Saturday (26/05). Also saw a red one at the Nurburgring last week. And an Alfa 8C Competizione (http://www.forwardcharm.co.uk/cgi-bin/picturegallery.pl?folder=ringmay07) and two Audi R8s, but that's another story!

I think the IOP is Marc's Type S, cracking car! The red at the ring is probably Detlef of Procar as he's been there for the last few days trying out his facelifted R project car.

What were the R8's like Jim. Were they posting good times?

regards, Paul

[markc]

Yeah that was me (N5 XSR) :)

I was forced to use the NSX as the day car (540i Touring) burst it's radiator last week. In fact I was out picking up some Anti freeze ahead of fitting the new radiator. Done now so the NSX doesn't have to venture out in this miserable weather.

Mark

[QuietJim]

What were the R8's like Jim. Were they posting good times?
One of the R8s was with a group doing training on a day closed to the public - I'm not sure if it was a trainee driving though, as it zipped away from the group in the opposite direction as if it was a staff car ... and when it did, it sounded like this! Recording of R8 disappearing (http://www.forwardcharm.co.uk/uploads/r8.wav)

The other R8 (http://www.forwardcharm.co.uk/cgi-bin/picturegallery.pl?folder=audir8) was parked outside the Skyline hotel in Riga - I got about a bit last week!

Now that is some car collection. :)

[kevinpsw]

Red auto with 91-94 wheels NSX plate (1Y?). Beautiful condition, apparently with car club rally (lots of Caterams and a Ford GT40) at Standen (East Grinstead) National Trust house. I wished I'd gone there in my NSX instead of my wife's BMW.

[WhyOne?]

Ah! Interesting!!!

I live in West Hoathly (only about 3 miles from Standen) and driving back into the village along our very insignificant 'B' road on Sunday I was met by waves of old TVR's, Caterhams, newish MGF's and Cobra's - a slightly eclectic collection of cars, and whilst I could read their London-Brighton stickers, I did wonder a/ what on earth they were doing running through West Hoathly and b/ who the organising body/club was????

it was the 2007 Kit & Sports Car London to Brighton run - the '91 NSX at Standen was mine :)
Start was at Hampton Court - then a truly scenic route to Brighton with a stopover at Standen with the finish on Madeira Drive - a fun day out and a nice way to see parts of the countryside (albeit dodging cyclists) between London and the coast

[simonprelude]

Sounds interesting, any photos ??

Spotted a pure orange NSX on the M25 between jucn 6 and 5 (near clakkets services) going anticlockwise (East) at about 10:30am ish today (24/8/07), I think it had the number plate W1 NSX but it had one of those small bike number plates up front so hard to make it out.
Paul.

I think W1 is Red, V6 is Orange though :)

Hi Guys,

My first post.

Thanks for the heart attack !

I've just checked and W1 NSX is still in my garage so it wasn't on the M25 recently.

W1 NSX is definitely a 2000 plate red 3.2. It's been mine for the past 3 years or so and I've loved every minute of it.

Cheers.

Got very excited on seeing a Yellow x coming towards me today:) It was heading towards Milton Keynes from Newport Pagnal area.

I almost flashed, but realised in the wifey Civic I would be just another loony flasher!

Apart from being in arranged convoy to events, this is only the second NSX I've seen on the road in about 3 years.

[TheSebringOne]

Welcome & a great looking car you have there, so what exhaust tips you have on? :)

[Silver Surfer]

Ken,

Mine will look exactly like this except mine will have a black roof!

1.Unmatch colour Rim cetre caps
2.95+ Rims lightened up
3.Twin exhaust tip bilaterally
4.Red pop up
5.3.2 manifold

Top car.

Do you venture towards Essex?

SS

[Ken MA.]

Thanks for the positive comments on the car - it really is a stunning example with very low mileage.

I was searching for the right one for years and finally found it at Phoenix Honda a few years back. It only gets used on fine weekends but that's enough to keep me happy.

TheSebringOne - The exhaust tips are the Ripspeed ones from Halfords. They are easy enough to fit and with the upsweep and correct length, the Ripspeed logo is not readily visible. I did mod them slightly by fitting an internal splitter to aid the gas flow to each exit pipe as they are not well designed in this respect.

SS - I spent most of last year working in Essex (Colchester) but have recently relocated to Peterborough so doubt that I will get back down there soon.

Ken

[britlude]

hurrah, another for the halfords tips list! lol

Ken, I thought I recognised them! I may be another Ripspeed tips owner soon as discussed on another thread!? :)

[NSXGB]

...back on topic...:)


R2 NSX - Red. Seen at the Nurburgring over the weekend.

[Ferris Bueller]

Thanks for the positive comments on the car - it really is a stunning example with very low mileage.

I was searching for the right one for years and finally found it at Phoenix Honda a few years back. It only gets used on fine weekends but that's enough to keep me happy.

TheSebringOne - The exhaust tips are the Ripspeed ones from Halfords. They are easy enough to fit and with the upsweep and correct length, the Ripspeed logo is not readily visible. I did mod them slightly by fitting an internal splitter to aid the gas flow to each exit pipe as they are not well designed in this respect.

SS - I spent most of last year working in Essex (Colchester) but have recently relocated to Peterborough so doubt that I will get back down there soon.

Ken

That's 2, maybe 3, NSXs in Peterborough and at least 1 in Stamford! Becoming common! I demand you move back to Essex ;)

PS Do not take your car anywhere near Marshall's. DO take your car to Bryan Smith at Letchworth Honda.

[Senninha]

DO take your car to Bryan Smith at Letchworth Honda.
+1 for Bryan and his team. S2 has been maintained there for last 6 yrs, always quality work.

I know of R2 NSX, it's the other NSX in the Surrey village where I live.

It's lived here for years but we've never passed each other whilst both NSX mounted. I think it's an auto but I'm not completely sure.

Cheers

Mark

[simonprelude]

It is indeed.

I test drove the said Red car at John Coopers garage at Ferring (nr Brighton) about 3 years ago! Nice long test drive about 20 miles around south coast! Its was one of last 3.0 and had lovely BBS cross spoked alloys, which I don't normally like, but it suited the red! :)

[Senninha]

Spotted this morning on the west bound A120 around 10.30. I was about 5 cars back in the Civic with family on board.

NSX looked very clean as usual but I couldn't determine which set of rims you were running on.

Nice to finally spot a member in the wild!!

Reminds me that we ought to get another Essex (east of country) mini meet organised! Think there was talk of another one recently. Any takers?

[Carl-1969]

Red NSX on the A41 spotted today by a friend in his DC5 Integra.

Well spotted! I was just returning from Redstar (Robert Coates aka Tyreman) who did my MOT....passed with flying colours without cats!! (MOT ran out 2 months ago and forgotten all about it until I had to rnew my road tax this month.)

I am up for a mini meet!! The Lodge?!?

[Carl-1969]

Just seen a fixed light model on the A12.

Not sure of the colour, could have been Silver but the sunlight was horrendous.

[NSX 2000]

Spotted a pure orange NSX on the M25 between jucn 6 and 5 (near clakkets services) going anticlockwise (East) at about 10:30am ish today (24/8/07), I think it had the number plate W1 NSX but it had one of those small bike number plates up front so hard to make it out.
Paul.

Spotted again pure orange NSX on M25 between Junc 6 and 5 (near clakkets services) going anticlockwise (East) at about 2:10pm ish today (15/9/07). If it is not Mark then somebody has an Orange NSX and goes between Surrey and Kent on the M25 a lot!

[markc]

This time it was me :)

My BeeEmm lunched it's water pump last week and I've been forced to use the NSX as daily transport. Ohh the hardship.

I was going down to Hastings to see another car. Now don't laugh but I've bought myself a Citroen CX... a 1986 Series 1 CX 2500i Pallas Auto to be exact.

I've always had a thing for them and saw this one on ebay described as near concours (which it isn't) but it is nice and will cure me once and for all.

Pretty much as far removed from an NSX as you can get but it is another anti-establishent option. I suspect it might be a tad less reliable that the NSX :)

Mark

[Senninha]

Mark,

I remember driving one of these big old armchairs way back when. One of the most bizarre experiences at the wheel. Hope it doesn't prove to be a money pitt for you, however I feel between this and the BMW, the NSX will see even more use ;)

regards, Paul

[NSXGB]

....spotted 3 Lambourghini Countach in convoy travelling northbound on the M1 near Donnington Sat evening, 2 red & 1 white....don't see one for ages then you see three in a row...like busses...

[Rob_Fenn]

Spotted a purple NSX on Friday, i squealed like a little girl.

I was on my way to Bristol at the time, think it was off of the M4 somewhere.

[TheSebringOne]

Mark, have you pics of your classic magic carpet ride automobile ! :) Does it have those front lights that turn with the steering wheel. Unbelievable that Citroen thought of this over 20 years ago and the Germans/other manufacturers only just started to fit em as an option a fews years ago!

[NSX 2000]

Spotted a Black JDM NSX on the A20 between Seal and Borough Green going towards Sevenoaks at about 7:40 this morning. Might of been the one that came to the South East mini meet a few weeks back?

[Steveycaz]

My boss witnessed some 'spirited' driving on Wednesday evening by a red NSX on the A33 near Chineham (Hmmm Red NSX, Chineham, tall driver, very noisy exhaust....)

James,

You're thinking of the Series 2 DS models (1968-75), the CX had fixed lights. My DS is a series I so fixed non-enclosed lights.

Mark - if yours is a Series I it'll have that fab rotating drum speedo. Such a shame they made normal dials after that...

Sorry for the anoraksia. I'll post some pics of my big Cit once it sees daylight - next week hopefully - right after I've got myself a life.

James, Graham's correct it was the DS had the headlights that swivelled with the steering. Now if ever a car was ahead of it's time, the DS was!
My CX still has the magic carpet ride though, especially since I replaced the front "spheres" (sort of equivelent to dampers) and "accumulator" (of main hydralic pressure). Dead easy as well, took alll of 20 mins :-)

Graham, yes mine is a late model Series 1 with the rotating drum intrumants, here are a couple of pics...

[gsuds]

Mark,

That's truly fab, love it! Nice to see a really well-kept one, they're becoming pretty rare. Citroen returning to form with the C6 but NSX-like rarity....

My dad had two of these, I love the funky interior (also the GSA he had before where they swapped the stereo and handbrake location for no reason and had a globe ashtray).
But not at all keen on the sloshy ride :heave:

Mark,

My dad specialised in CX sales for about 10 years (then XM now C5/6) so I have driven my fair share when I was younger working for him in the holidays.

Love that CX Turbo 2:D

Hate that LHM fluid:eek:

Enjoy it!


Steve,

There must be nother NSX in Basing, I have my standard exhaust on so it is very quiet:laugh:

[Lankstarr]

Actually come to the spotted thread to post about my amazing sightings on Sunday:

Ford RS200
Lancia Stratos
Ford GT40

All race decalled up and going east on the M40.

Saw a yellow murcialargo as well but that's pretty common amongst thes others!

L*

Oh no NSXs incidentally!

[Steve]

I wonder if the Stratos was a real one or replica...real would be rare as rocking horse sh** How much would a real one be worth £££££££££'sss

[Lankstarr]

I've only ever seen another and that was a replica worth about 30k I think:eek:

The RS200 must have been worth a fair whack as well - it had the big spot lights on the front and all!

[simonprelude]

Probably on there way home from the Rally show at Castle Combe on Sunday.

[Papalazarou]

I was driving back from an aborted meeting with a customer, generally feeling a little antagonistic. Stopped at some traffic light, pulled away and kept it in second until I'd ascertained which direction the camera was pointing opened it up a bit. just as I put my foot down I noticed a Red/black NSX with early four spoke wheels on the opposite carriageway sat in traffic. So who was in Taunton today??

Cheers,


James.

[simonprelude]

Saw a dark coloured NSX last night at around 18:30 on the roundabout at jct 17 off the M4.

[simonprelude]

Well that's 2 more added to the database, both fixed headlight versions.

Blue seen in Wilmslow this afternoon (old style plate).
Orange seen in Frome this afternoon (L reg personalised, not NSX).

Twas me James, I had just been into town visiting my Nan like a good grandson should and as the weather was brilliant I broke the car out of the garage for a run.

I actually heard you before I saw you, it sounded good on full chat! :) Has the car got a standard exhaust setup?

Must say I liked the look of the wheels, they complement the blue body very well imo.

Cheers Pete.

Hi Pete,

good to finally have another NSX owner in the SW. The nearest NSXCB member to me is in Bideford. Maybe we can meet up in the future.

regards, Paul



Yep, the Tubi's on and the car sounds as it should. I had fun with the tail pipes though; I got some made up which were copied from the tubi ones.
When they were fitted one pipe was longer than the other so I took the car down to the fabricators and they spend a couple of hours welding extra pipe on. I'm really pleased with the result and the time and effort they took to get the job done properly.
If anyone is looking for exhaust work in the SW I'd recommend them.

Hi James,

Yep would be good to meet up sometime and perhaps you can enlighten me in all things Tubi ! :)

Cheers Pete.

I think I've seen this in B'mouth as well.

98/99 3.2 Manual Targa with about 20k on the clock (nice!)

Guy that owns it also has a ferrari P1.

[indi pearl]

My wife took a couple of photo's on her phone.D1 looks immaculate with red colour matched brake callipers and has a (transfer?) black body line allong both sides at mid point.I assume the owner is not a member?

[Lankstarr]

It is definitely the car I saw. The black lines fdown the body are anti bump strips... horrible bits of rubber that probably came from Halfrauds :eek::eek::eek: (I need more smiley allowance to emphasise the shock properly!)

The guy has been on here before and is a member I think but not a regular.

Amo's no doubt, his car looks red/orange depending on the light or time of day.

[Kevin]

I've seen a red one with big wing, and Taitec exhaust and diffuser around twice.

It has the plate H1 ON HP or something. I've seen it once on the M25 near Heathrow, and once on the M20 near Dover.

[howellr]

Hello Greybloke,

Rod was my name.

Service completed successfully and ecconomically (inl. MOT).
The service manager (Brian, is it ?:) has a new battery testing gadget which we tried out on mine and it said my battery is 'just' ok.

I'm from up north but have always taken the car to Norton Way.

On the way back, just as I was turning off the M6 onto the M56 towards Chester, I 'just' heard a toot. (I had Budgie on quite loud at the time) and just turned my head in time to see a red 'K' (I think) reg NSX carrying on up the M6.

Whenever I have seen NSX's before I am never in mine. So 2 in two days is quite amazing.

I'm hoping to have twin back pipes fitted soon, if the price is right,from a North West exhaust maker to give it a 'sharper' look.

Regards to all
Rod

[simonprelude]

howellr I think I saw your car at Norton Way this sort of time last year, looked good then, hope it's still as good now. Any pictures for us as it's such an unusual colour (didn't have my camera with me last year) N***NSX ????

[TheQuietOne]

Hi Rod,

What are the details on your car, is it circuit blue? It looks lovely in the small pictures in your user profile!

I make the trek to NW too for my services which seem to come up every 5 months or so too. It is just peace of mind having Brian and his team look after it!

Cheers,

Matt.

[howellr]

Yes, I was in NWay this time last year but the annual visit was a bit quicker this time as no big issues - 1 gromet on the rod that holds up the engine cover when your mates are peering at the engine.
the passenger door opener was just catching the paintwork when my kids slam the door - now ajusted.
And the offside windscreen wiper blade used to hit the upright when I was doing 71 mph (!) - it has now been ajusted correctly.

Last years was a bit of an eye waterer but in some ways vey lucky, as my clutch went about 4 miles from arriving at NWay for the service and they also discovered that the air-con compressor was locked solid. So it was with them for a little while last year while they got it referbed but all is good this year. (are you all still awake ?)

The car is Nov 2000. Bought from Chiswick. It's done 38K. It's a 3.2 Manual Targa. It has tinted windows and the high brake light. It's circuit blue. I have Bridgestones on all four corners. I have a honda CD changer in the boot which works until it doesn't work and then I have to empty the changer and re-load it (I have mastered this technique)

I'll post some more pics when i get to work tomorrow.
Do the My Garage pics always disapear ?

Popped into Plans yesterday to collect some bits etc and bumped into these NSX as well as Dave Fenn's track beasty

Silver 3.2, 6k miles having new 010's fitted - W***TNM - looked lovely as you would expect with the mileage
Black 91(?) manual having lots of upgrades done to chassis plus Dave's old bonnet and spoiler - its an Ireland based car reg, 91-C ***1. Running wth some nice mods

I then had a chat with another team locally to dicuss a few ideas and came across this little beauty, Charlotte Green 3.0 NSX-R with 02 rims :eek: Looked lovely and after speaking to Matt think that this may well be Flemke(?) car? *** NSX

It was tucked away with a number of other great cars including Carrera GT, Lambo's, selection of interesting F cars and a few I couldn't recognise under their protective sheeting.

Simon, I have full numbers if you dont have them already on the record sheet.

Yep, always good to get a chance meeting of 2 NSXs, both resplendent in "Scottish NSX Silver". Donna, you'll have to respray yours. (Joking!)

Just returning from Sainsbury's and the school run!

I was just at tescos and then taking my mother up to loanhead.

I was going to say weather is nice for a run, then it snowed today!!!

Spotted an 02+ Sebring Silver NSX travelling southbound on the A217 near Kingswood at 18:50 this evening. Think it had the number plate W*TAP, but not too sure, only caught a very quick glimpse.

A minute later and a bright yellow Murcielago howled past me by the Kingswood arms....sounded rather nice.....

Whose Procaed up NSX is that?

Looks nice bar the Wing West lip.

[simonprelude]

I am guessing that car belongs to whoever used to own Nigels 04 plate.

Seems that not all UK NSX'ers are active members of this board. :)
That car is really well prepared with tons of mods, even if they are not all
viewable here.

I'm not loving the white wheels on the red.


Cheers,

I don't like yellow seats, the rear diffuser with the gt style sc fins on it or big dustbins sticking out of the back.

From what I can see your car has none of these:laugh: I'm currently getting a WW front splitter fitted and have been contemplating going for the black bonnet and spoiler look to match the roof, I know there are loads on Prime but had no idea we had one like it in the uk... nice.

What other goodies do you have then - tell me quick before I stalk your previous posts:laugh:

You're right about each to their own, IMO the type R wheels would look awesome if you painted them gunnmetal... but then nobody knows you have a very expensive set of type R rims!

L*

[Lankstarr]

The white wheels would look a lot better with some nice white indicators to match... but theu wont make you go faster!

Yes, you've really bought down the tone with those wheels, it was bad enough when Kevin had a set on his black NSX!! Only kidding, they are awesome wheels and if you want to sell them let me know!

Cheers,

James.

[simonprelude]

Just for you Paul.

Thanx Simon,

RTBM, good to hear from you and we obviously have a common friend ;)

What brakes are you running, they look like the Detlef upgrade?

Hope to see you in May.

Regards, Paul

[mutley]

I have always loved that style of wheel, really suits the NSX but Ihave to agree that white with a red car doesn't look quite right. IMHO of course!


Jim

[rtbm]

I do have Detlef's "AP upgrade" and these are matched with 2002 type r calipers all round....i did try a set-up with "big brake" up-grade but it was not right for lots of reasons..these brakes are super on road and track...a bit of brake dust...and with white wheels !!!.....to all the max power mockers of my wheels i did think of a colour change but i sold a kidney to buy them and felt this would de-value them long term, not that they are going to be sold etc.....the car is very low mileage and has alot of "rare" parts etc not just on the style side but performance as well...i tried to create a "club Sport"...enhancing the basic car to an up-dated classic....in the flesh the details to the car are the key to it's "one off" status.

[Silver Surfer]

Rtbm,

Any more piccies of the 'rare' parts and the enhancing one-off modifications??:)
