I got these on order right now. Bilstein Shocks. Why Bilstein? By setting it on the lower perch, it actually drops the car roughly 0.8" which is the perfect drop according to many nsxprime members. You can align it close to factory specs, get the lowered look (without changing springs) and still maintain great comfort and increase handling due to lower center of gravity.

http://www.nsxprime.com/FAQ/Performance/images/bilstein2.jpg

Anyway....

Here's a picture of what the drop looks like. Borrowing pics from a member who has the hottest color. I'm not ballin' enough to buy new so I have to settle for Silver (but I have always loved the Silverstone Metallic):

YES. I AM VERY EXCITED. SO EXCITED THAT I ACTUALLY WAITED 6 DAYS BEFORE MAKING THIS POST.

I just hope the car arrives in one piece and I didn't get scammed out of a big pile of money. Because then I'll need Beyond CSI and rage2's lawyers to get my revenge haha lol j/k

[Twin_Cam_Turbo]

Very very jealous...

[bubbley]

[streethondas]

:bigpimp: :drool: :love: :bigpimp:

[403ep3]

Wow sick! What do you do again for a living? Lol

[D'z Nutz]

Nice, you've been wanting one of those for forever!

[Phenix]

very very nice. I would love one of these. But I would then require a winter beater. Maybe i'll just have to turn my gen coupe into one. lol

[jdmXSI]

Very nice, i've always loved the NSX!!!

[JordanLotoski]

Ill take Acura then over Acura now. Thats awesome!

[WrongWheelDrive]

Yeah that is SICK! How much did you pay for that if you don't mind me asking and where is that?! PM me!

I'm jealous... :(

[beyond_ban]

I just looked in the mirror and my skin color matches that of an enraged hulk. Jealousy is an understatement.

After the bilsteins the only thing you will be missing are some authentic BBS LM's :drool:

Congrats.

I was gonna say that. Are you sure that's used??? Nice find

[Mr_ET]

Welcome home man, best Honda ever built and my dream car.

Take good care of her, I'm quite jealous :P

Upgrade from the GTI?

[Xtrema]

That's a good find. How much did it cost ya?

Congrats.

[max_boost]

Nice Nice.

Should work out to just over $70,XXX, including exchange, duty and taxes.

But hey, it'll still be worth $35K in 10 years. Can't go wrong. :rofl:

[inline6turbo]

:rofl:

[Shlade]

Super mint ride max! Congrats to you bro, hope you enjoy it.

EDIT: 70k!!!!????

holy fuck shit balls batman! I could never spend that on an acura or a honda!

If i had 70k lying around id be driving Rage2`s BMW! plus 7 different honda civics for every day of the week as a daily driver!

[Kloubek]

VERY nice car man. I was in love with NSX's the moment they hit the road, and I still am. Congrats!

[GQBalla]

Congrats on the purchase!

[kevie88]

FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU

Definitely will be one of the classic for years to come. I'm jealous of the mileage. That's a super find.

[brandon]

Congrats Sam!!

It's about time you got one! you have been talking about it for years!

[Jeremiah]

Shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit Sam!

I can't say that I'm suprised, well only that it took you this long to get one...

Worth a cheat day to see you deliver some food in that beast :drool:

[max_boost]

To be honest I've always wanted an 05 Silver. I wanted the last of the line. The final production year. I figure this was the best way to go for future value etc. but could never justify the costs. Luckily with the $ where it's at, depreciation has set in, and I found a seller who was willing to work out a deal, I couldn't pass it up.

For example, a week before this one came on the market, another gentlemen from the Minnesota area sold his 05, 14k miles, silver/black int, basically the exact same car, for $4000 more. I couldn't say no anymore. It was a sign that it was meant to be. After all these years, I convinced myself to pull the trigger. You only live once. Oh the Power of Dreams. LOL

[BerserkerCatSplat]

Shit, you finally got your NSX! Miiiiiint!

[MGCM]

I remember about a year ago a T/C NSX pulled up beside me and he was rocking the car at 100km/h taunting me lol stupid amounts of power that I can only dream about:love:

[G]

Congrats on the new child. :hitit:

290hp is "stupid amount of power"?

Congrats! :drool:

Congrats! Looks like a gem.

It's refreshing to see one that's not an early 90's NSX. The later model years with the exposed HID headlights are the only ones that I'll actually turn my head to look at.

Shallow depreciation is a huge plus. Given your track record, I'm not sure this one will last 10 years though!

[Errol.]

:drool:

So amazing!

[guessboi]

wow. congrads Max! looks so good from the pics! hope is the same when it comes! :clap:

[flipstah]

Holy. Crap. :eek: :drool: :burnout:

Congratulations!

DAMNNN!! Soo sick! Congrats and I can't wait to see it. :drool:

[Weapon_R]

Wow such a gorgeous car! Awesome choice, congrats buddy you finally did it haha

[88CRX]

Dooooooope!

About time haha!

Congrats! I remember reading that you wanted one a while ago! A true modern classic, Beautiful car!

Take me for a spin? :)

[CokerRat]

Gorgeous car! Good choice with the Bilsteins, they're a great replacement for the stock shocks.

[Sentry]

Love to have one of these, even if it were a busted assed 20 year old model.

Hey max,

I've always loved the NSX but I haven't followed them religiously over the years. When did they add the stiched leather to the dash and console? Also is that the camera or are the instrument clusters blue?

[Aleks]

Congrats man! It's hard to keep up with all the cars you go through :nut:

Did you have someone take over the GTI lease already?

This is the only other Acura I want to own at some point in my life. The other was the ITR.

I don't know much about the finer details on this car other than I've just always wanted one haha Not sure about the stitching and it's probably just the camera.

Merci. Will figure out the other cars at a later time lol

To everyone, to quote the best
Thank you thank you you're far too kind

Will get the car to DTP, assuming Team_Mclaren gets it here in one piece lol :devil: :burnout:

[benyl]

wut, Sam only has 2 cars now? Blashphemy! You always have 4!

Nice ride. Baller!:bigpimp:

[almerick]

Congrats on the nice ride :drool:

http://www.scienceofspeed.com/products/exterior_performance_products/NSX/ScienceofSpeed/VolkRacingTE37/

I've always wanted TE-37's. Remember 10 years ago when Tien had his crazy red Integra? Man I think he was one of the firsts but mind you I was a broke ass back then and could only ogle .

Crazy size? Specifications:

* 17x8.5+40 (recommended tire: 215 - 235/40-17)
* 18x10.5+45 (recommended tire: 275-285/35-18) - up to 305mm is possible

I think 95EagleAWD ran 17x8 and 18x9.5

Anyway.....

Too much Silver?

http://www.scienceofspeed.com/products/exterior_performance_products/NSX/ScienceofSpeed/VolkRacingTE37/burntsilver_450.jpg

Time Attacks played out or still ok?

http://www.scienceofspeed.com/products/exterior_performance_products/NSX/ScienceofSpeed/VolkRacingTE37/satinblackredring_450.jpg

Or should I go for the new SL's? What color is it? Silverish, gunmetal or bronze? I can't tell.

[Jeremiah]

Burnt Silver is sick, but Superlap is good too. Thought it was more bronze than any other colour

[T-Dubbs]

nice looking car!

[shadowz]

Give Jackie at Speedtech a call, he chose the specs for the STRD NA2 as you can tell there is much more room to go front and rear

http://www.randybaluca.com/dtp/20.jpg

[88CRX]

Any color TE's will look good!

Silver on silver will be pretty subtle. TA isn't played out.... or at least real Volk TA's aren't played out.

Seems to be around 2000/2001. Nice touch. I would have a NSX regardless tho.

[max_boost]

Can someone photoshop these wheels for me? So I have an idea of what they look like?

Science of speed has them in stock so I'm itching! And specifically made for the NSX!!

[heavyD]

The only problem I have with TE-37's is all the cars I see rolling around with the Rota clones. How about Advan Racing RZ's? They are my personal favorite at the moment and will probably find their way on my EVO next year.

[JfuckinC]

Silver rims on silver cars always looks VERY clean. But black rims on silver also looks good... i think you should go with the TE's.

[bubbley]

The black ones would look dope IMO

[freshprince1]

I'm sorry, but is that a spare wheel squeezed in there?!?!?!

http://www.members.shaw.ca/samtang310/NSX/3.JPG

Genius.

I never knew that about the NSX.

[jdmsource]

Def' the silver ones! will keep the classy look aswell as tuner:thumbsup:
