Default Still can't get over it

As anyone in Kentucky will know, we have the Carl Casper Custom Car and Auto Show going on this weekend. Decent show, more hotrods than anything, but nice nonetheless. Anyways, I spent the majority of yesterday getting our customers supercharged 91 NSX ready for the show, and I just have to say.....I hate every one of you NSX owners out there. Yes, jealousy and envy rears it's ugly head. That car is just pure sex and evil rolled into one. Not only is the car beautiful to look at (I could spend hours on this), but it is just such a super well balanced machine all over. Handles like a champ, stops on a dime and gives change back, and has the power to boot as well, (this is a modded car as well). Sorry to rant, I was just overcame by this vehicle yesterday. So yes, I am jealous of you if you own one, and yes, it is now my mission to finish my cars, sell them and save for MY own NSX.

You will eventually get what you want once you work on that idea to own an NSX.

I did.

Those are probably best pics I've seen of your car Vytas - did you get a new camera?
I do wish people would learn not to include the pics again in a quote - nice as they are, do we really need them repeated 3 times in the same thread? Point in case, 'Prime is down right now for exceeding bandwidth - this kind of thing conributes to that.

Thanks for the complements. I have a Canon S45 (S50 is the current model now). It takes real nice pictures and am very happy with it. Having spent six hours detailing it to perfection (not that it needed it), I had to move it outside for some glamour pics.

Not just your car V ... the backdrop, especially colour, detail in the trees is superb. Very nice photography.

I agree. A better host should be found and I think that's a tremendous compliment (indirectly) to Lud and all the work he's done with the site. The NSX community is so connected with each other b/c of the site and communication actually suffers when it's down. Incredible.

I think the NSXSC site owner is no longer interested in the NSX community and the NSX automobile. From what I hear, he's into Factory Five Cobra replicas.

You won't ever see Honda Tech go down unless it's for software upgrades.

How does it line up. I have looked at a few hoods Chris sells and didn't care for the way they lined up. (I'm talking about the gaps on the edge of the hood)

I still need to find a set of rims for my car everytime I find a set I like they get discontinued.

Although this site has gotten better I don't think most prime users would put up with what goes on here. This is what killed NSXSC IMO this and Ravetek became a mod LOL!!!!

Yes, Lud rules!!

When you only get 5 hits a day it doesn't surprise me that he lost interest. I did like that site until all the BS!

I'm drooling.... The Taitec hood, is it carbon fibre or fibreglass? How much is it?

I have two sets of '91-93 I'll give you. Heck, I'll even pay shipping!

What goes on here in the NSX forum or HT in general? Granted this place is a bit younger but there are plenty of good posters here. It's kind of a self-fulfilling prophecy.

Radiator is still in the front. It removes air from under the hood and directs it over the top of the car instead of under it. I don't know if it actually provides any "downforce" but it would remove air from traveling under the car and producing an "upforce".

forgot about the rad. If that hood goes right from behind the rad and vents above the car it would defintely create some downforce..cool stuff.
