I've been looking for an Imola Orange NSX for the longest time... I'm really looking for an 2005, but its been seldom to none on getting my hands on even any listings in the US.

I found a 2002 online today on autotrader, gonna call tommorrow and see what the "unlisted" mileage is on this sucker. And since I still dont have a job yet, I just might fly down there to check it out!!! (its in Baltimore)

WOW! You sir are ballin. Willing to sell it to me in the future? j/p :) I wish
 
Japan made ferrari.

Those cars are insane....
 
Good luck! Take your detailing supplies with you so you can detail it whilst you're there!
 
Make sure the camber is setup correctly, I remember my friends used to eat through tires like crazy, worse then any other car, Acura sent the cars with an weird camber alignment. Friend thought it was normal untill I goess on one of the boards people posted the adjustments that have to be made lol.

When I first purchased my 2000 NSX, they said I could go back and get my first set of Yokos replaced for free, I thought that was weird until the tires were bald at 9000 miles :mad:

Why don't you just wait, and get a new NSX. I heard it's gonna have a V10 in it and 450+hp.

Yea I've been waiting since 03, haha. Thats the reason why I sold mine originally. I dont know if they will ever retain the mid engine platform.

I know all the reasons against it, underpowered, over priced, but whenever I see one go by :(
 
In the instruction manual that came with my evo it said that the tires "is not made to last more than MAX 2 years"

I also did a camber check on the car, and it was way off when new.
 
46K miles X_X and sketchy history..... the search continues.....

HAHA I think im gonna keep the S2000 and NSX forever! I may replace the M3 with the new E92 M3, I have to see it in person first before I make the plunge.

Dunno if I can let go of the Laguna Seca Blue though.......
 
Good luck man! My Dad had a 2000 NSX-T Red/Black in 01. He bought it used with 1800 miles for $20K off sticker, so $70K. We put on a Arc titanium exhaust (9 lbs), Stock sized Volk TE 37 wheels, lightened it up 200lbs, and had a air induction box. It sounded like a race bike because the intake was right behind your ears. I had a few nice 150mph+ runs in that thing.....absolutely blew away a Camaro SS from 80-150 in it haha good times. That thing was a beast over 100.
 
This was mine back in the day. This was about a month into having the car, still all stock before the Racing Harts went on (it was THE wheel back in tha day). Never detailed, washed w dawn, waxed w turtle wax and a 18 inch buffer from Sears. :confused:

Oh man nice. You sure graduated from dawn and turtle wax and sears buffer :D. Instead of turning in your Laguna Seca blue, just buy another M3 and have BOTH :)

Man..wait till you drive some "powerful" cars if you thought it was a beast ;). hehe, j/k FMINUS, always messed with our buddy as he kept getting left behind on track and street hehe. There's a guy down the street with a red NSX witha bunch of mods, not sure what he's done but its lowered on I think HRE's and it's seriously loud, never heard an NSX as loud as his, has a really high pitch exhaust note? His looks to be an older one with the flip up lights.

Yeh glad you posted that, buddy doesn't have the car anymore but I'll tell him I know somebody else who used to go through tires every 7-9K miles lol, and that was with easy street driving. He thought it was normal at first, not sure why Acura sent them like that, camber was outta wack.
 
I get Dupont Registry and every so often one shows up. Usually a dealer holdback that they finally decided to move. No miles and never titled. Good luck ....

Right, because a car with a low cd, 280+ at the wheels, and less than 3000lbs is slow. ;)

I've driven/owned (dad and i):

Lotus Esprit TT V8
C5 Z06
BPU+ Supra TT
997 Carrera S
E36 M3
E46 M3
C55 AMG
E55 AMG
etc, etc
