Hi all, I'm a new member here, but I've been scanning the forums for a while now.

I am now the very proud owner of a silver 3.2 NSX (my absolute dream car).

Many of you will remember it as it was previously owned by craigdonnelly (top bloke!) I cant describe how bad I felt taking it away from him that day. If it makes you feel any better Craig, I now hold you higher than santa!

I previously owned an Integra type R (DC2) and then changed to a Skyline R33 GTR. I loved the brutal power from the skyline (525bhp) but I never forgot about my old friend Vtec. I always wanted an NSX but never had the chance to get one until now. There is no way to compare the Skyline to the NSX, as you all know they are completely different cars. Many people questioned my reasons to go from a skyline to an NSX but some understood. Its not all about power. Cars for me (guessing for you guys too) are about how they make you feel. Kinda like a woman. You know when its just a fling or something special.

I'm very happy to be a part of the NSX world

Couple pics of the other cars (for those interested)

Wellcome to the forum Jonny, You may feel the NSX is lacking in power compare to your GTR but it's the handling and poise of the car through B roads which will keep you smiling.......also it more appealing to the eye.;)

Welcome to the club Johny; you've picked a fine example to start NSX ownership with. If you decide to tune her up to 525 like the GTR then we'll all enjoy watching the progress;)

Thanks for the welcome :)
It was an SI when I bought it. Swapped out the engine at 70,000 miles for a 230bhp type R engine :)
You might notice the seats are out of a DC5. I tried to keep the DC2 as up to date with the changing times as possible as I love the shape of it.
