Mad jelly and I can't even drive a stick.

Back in the day I wasn't really a fan of the NSX but in the past couple of years its really started to grow on me.

I'll keep it stock for a while, at least till next spring. Might even try to find an OEM exhaust to put on, they're pretty cheap.



Nope, I just increased my budget so I wouldn't go over it :D

its nice, the stock wheels are just underwhelming for the class of car its supposed to be

Enjoy it and keep it forever! These cars are so special and fun to drive... comfortable and stylish 20 years later. Great neutral handling and a sweet motor/gearbox.

I love the stock gen2 wheels, especially the machine finish. You'd be crazy to dump those for some ugly 18s etc. like so many people do. The earlier 91-93 wheels look a bit dated though.

There have been 4 wheels in the USA since it's introduction (a few more varieties overseas)

The original "Fat 5" on 91-93 models:

"solaris silver" on 94-96 cars:

"blades silver" on 97-01 cars, which is what I have:

and finally the 2002+ wheels which are beautiful forged BBS wheels, but go for $6k new and ~$3k used :eek:

The blades are the ones I was talking about too, they look great. The newest wheels are sweet for sure but they are more curvy and fit the body style of the 02+ cars better.

Here's my friend's 91 (which I love to drive!):

I don't care for the Type R hood/wing as much as the OEM though.

Man so jealous, car is beautiful!

I didn't realize they were so expensive for some reason... I searched thinking they'd be like 25k lol. Maybe I was thinking about S2000's :'(

Where in NWA? Upset now as there aren't many cars like that on then road up here and I swear I have seen that one on the road here. There are a few Ferrari and lambos here but you don't see them often. We have many Porsches and vipers as well as tons of corvette, BMW, mercs, etc.... but not many super cars. Hate that we lost one of the rare ones. I know you flew into Bentonville. Car like that came from walmart money for sure so probably the person lived in Rogers, probably pinnacle hill. maybe Bentonville.

Wow; you really increased your budget! I recall you had started with 30'sh at first.
