Same here.

My tranny oil is long due and I can't/don't wanna do it cause its been amazon hot lately.

How reliable is the nsx still after going turbo?

When you see a force fed car at the track there is a much greater chance of it being jacked up. The last time I drove with CMS Mark's NSX was down.

However I'm sure you can hammer on it and fondle the shift knob over and over again but as soon as you ask that car for some real work it's going to be a constant challenge as it is with any force fed car.

Corvette Grand Sport, 370Z, S2000, Supra, Newer CTS-V and I'd be interested to get seat time in a BMW 3 series to see what the journalists have raved about for years.

Also, solved my V8 need. Got a ZR1. :)

Gordon

Congrats on the ZR1 sounds like you've wanted that one for a LONG time :nod:

Re politics: I bet you're blogging like mad these days. IMO it's going to take an independent (someone not tied to politics/big business in any way) to get our government in order or worse a civil war LOL.

Link to your ZR1 Gordon?

To address the topic, really the most recent car that reminds me of the FD at all would be an S2000 with hardtop. Of course the reliability is radically different.

thanks, last one...

might change out the wheels. I'm not too keen on the black on black... I need some contrast.

Hey Gordon I would be curious on your review of the ZR1 and how it compares to your 20B FD. What made you choose that car over others in the same price class?

Honestly there's no other finish wheel that would look as good as the black style wheels you have now..

Maybe gunmetal but then it depends what kind of wheel.

Your contrast are the red calipers lol.

IMO id leave it. I wouldn't change perfection.

Maybe an MZR FWD setup would be needed? That could be fun. Probably have to lose the convertible top but who cares, the hardtops look good. Might end up with a 35/65 Front-rear weight bias and have to move the gas tank under the hood.

An Enkei wheel in "Hyper Black" would look excellent in my opinion. Much lighter in color than black chrome and not completely a mirror finish like chrome. Here are some hyperblack NT03+m on my daily driver. This particular wheel is one of their lightest and is Made in Japan unlike some of the enkei.

Gordon

lol gordon, thats funny.

But actually its red blue yellow green, that are the top 4 colors. IIRC from psych class lol.

Blue is supposed to be soothing or relaxing, he could change his calipers to blue but keeping his wheels black??

^^ Holy fuck that is stunning. Don't change a thing. Seriously. I've always liked NSXs but this is definiately one of the best looking ones I've seen (in pictures). Wow, just wow.

I had an RX-7 which was written off in an accident. Spent 1.5 years trying to find a replacement...Eventually bought another Rx-7 :egrin:

I was considering an R32 or R34 GT-R (I dislike R33's), but after driving/working on a friends R34...I prefer the FD.
