Its Plans' little baby! Truly stunning.

I don't get it, why use that old heap when there's a perfectly nice 172 parked in the background.

Ferrari 360 handbrake mechanism???? lol
I saw my first NSX on the road the other morning.
We both had ring stickers and he gave me a nod. lol
Stunning cars but i just dont like the rear qtrs

 

[Englebert]

Wouldn't want to embarass it in the twisties!

Saying a Ferrari mechanism sounds more impressive than a bodge job It's just that no kits come with one normally...

And yep, rear overhang is too long! Good for stability though, and golf clubs.

Not very clean is it? You need a PC and some P21/18/c/zsrtdtnsght cleaning stuff on that.

Unfortunately the NSX was on lawnmower duty on a few occasions

Its Plans' little baby! Truly stunning.

Anyone would think Graham owned it! Really want their pimped NSX for sale, was owned by a UK drift champion...

 

[Iain C]

drifting a NSX???
Must be a bit tricky!
I saw another late spec fixed light nsx today.
I think they are becoming popular

 

[Englebert]

With the aftermarket diff they are very easy to get sideways, but obviously not quite as easy as a normal front engined RWD! If you watch Best Motoring that old bloke has a Type R and can drift it, all about skill i guess!

I might try an import one myself, seen a couple around the £14k mark.

Nice, get it out to the ring.

I like Bedford, good track.

 

[matty w]

One of the best cars I ever owned, I would recommend anyone who calls themselves a driver, to have a go in one, you will be amazed just how fast they corner.
Tim Harvey drove mine at a track day at Pembry and reckoned it was the best road/sports car he had ever driven. His enthusiasm cost me a set of Yokohamas but it was worth it.

Things to avoid if you go for one,

Automatics..........hairdressers car.
Targa top...........Why bother, weakens the chassis.
Yellow............YUK!
Yokohama tyres...every 4000 miles, each corner has a unique tyre.
Anything newer than the 3.2 1996 model.
Lightweight Mugen versions from Japan.


Oh, and dont do this.....

Love them. One of the local jap clubs has a member with this one -

Its missing the side skirts in that pic but in real life it looks awesome....bit fast and furious stylee but it goes....

 

[BrianR]

Loverly !!!!

 

[Englebert]

The JGTC style kits look cool, but they also add weight. I'd like to think the NSX could be entered into Britcars in a couple of years, so maybe it will end up with one once it has hooge tyres.

This vid is awesome:
