My guess is that they have to play it like snobs to excuse the NSX price tag

 

Now they all just want you to get off their forum.

As the "Hey "Whiner", errrrrrr, "Deals". Don't let the door hit ya in the *** on yer way out !!"
And one guy thinks you'll be back under another name? "I'm guessing he'll just change his username (again ?) and re-appear to buy wheels......"

I don't get it? Do they think we "JeffShoots" and you "Deals Gap" are the same guy?

But that's why I don't post much on that forum. I absolutely SEARCH and search for any info to fix the damn car before I post any questions.

 

LOL! I logged out last night and deleted the link off my bookmarks this morning... What a bunch of know it all on that site. There is nothing on that forum that I don't know already about cars in general.. What a ******* ******! Sign up in different name? **** I emailed the mods there like 5 times before I made up "Deals Gap", Because my old SN (Herblenny) was made back in jan 2001 and didn't remember the password nor the email account I used is no longer available when I switched my job.

What a **** ******! Thinking I'm going back there to waste my time. Over half of the morons who posted on that thread didn't know squat about wheels and tires.. Yeh, I want to go back there so I could get ripped off by ANOTHER NSX retards!

 

Just wanted to apologize for my over-the-top rant, and to Mr2 owners out there, I've just never liked NSX's that much, and the numbers dont sway me either. Just kinda pointing out that the styling on these buckets isnt all that great unless you mod a bunch, I've felt that since they came out.. Honda started with a 'radical' mid-engine body design, and gradually I guess in the development came out with more and more ways to make it an unagressive and 'less risky' body style, that now, is showing its age unless modified. The fact that almost all manufacturers now sell more 'radical bodied' cars than in the 90's doesnt help it much either in its dated look.

The FD on the otherhand is timeless...I get owners of new stangs, s2000's, 350's and others gawking at my FD all the time, and all I've updated exterior wise on my 13 year old bucket is the rims/ ride height and parking lights...lol! Hell, I even still gawk at it

FDFTW!!

 

Herb, you have to come back

They did however erase your post about the wheels but left you the "Warning for potential buyer...": http://www.nsxprime.com/forums/showthread.php?t=77968

thread but added "Just wanted to throw in my two cents.....you get what you pay for when it comes to buying an NSX for 24k or any exotic car for a real cheap price......if you have done your homework on this site......"

And now for the best part. Looks like we sparked up an old "NSX vs RX7" debate. I have not read it yet but this should be just a good read to see how much they know about our cars.

this is a good thread...and thats some silly $#!t going on over there...

my buddy details cars at this guys house that has a nsx(nice looking car)...
great guy, owns a bike shop...(same shop big ben(steelers) got his bike he totaled)...
the guy never even drives his nsx ...drives his 90's something mazda mini van everywhere...
i luv the looks of the nsx...about as much as supra,and skyline....but rx7's are the $#!t...

 

Jeff, You are a bad influence... I just went over and took a peak... But I'm going to stay away from making posts... Its no use. I can't believe they deleted the thread about the tires.. I guess they realized I was right about the tires being out of balance.. LOL!

Quite funny actually... it almost like they are saying I need to spend $40-60k for a used car to perform as well as the RX7 I think what they don't realize is that there are cars out there you could buy thats better than NSX and I don't want to spend a fortune to get one that's just mediocre. It wasn't about me lacking knowledge in cars, they just think 166K mileage car with shitty paint, shitty interior, and leaking oil is worth 24k. I think they need to step off of their mighty horse and start educating themselves on other cars before thinking NSX is some greatest car ever made.. Bunch of know it alls.

Yeh, I saw the NSX vs. RX7 thread. Its funny how much they know about RX7s. And how quickily they shut up when you mentioned about SCCA and car reviews.. Almost like they are ashamed that they paid over $80k on a car and afraid to drive it because they all know its going to cost them another $10-20K to get a new engine in one. At least FDs if I blow an engine, Its only going to cost me 3-4k.. not only that, I know enough to say I could build one if I wanted to

They think $1-2k timing belt changes and 20K mile clutch replacement(if abuse it a slight) that cost $2-3K is norm.. Oh, I forgot about the 5k mlle tire replacement because only way NSX could compete with RX7 is to make the camber so negative they sacrifice duration over handling.. Right! Its so reliable and such a great handling car!! Oh, I forgot, the 245mm max tire size in the front (which will still rub).. Hmm.. I guess I didn't do my research about NSX...

Not only that, I don't consider NSX to be an enthusiasts car. Most of them get their dealers to do the work instead of tinkeriing it themselves.. Oh, maybe its because anything you do to the engine you have to drop the engine?? Which you would need a lift instead of a cherry picker?? Hmm... Sounds like Honda made that car just for NSX ****** who think they know about cars but they really don't True enthusiasts don't have to have money nor use money to let other people do the work on the car.. True enthusiasts try to learn themselves and get their HANDS DIRTY!!

 

Well, this is my observation about NSX owners...

There are few NSX owners who drive their car daily... Just like 7 owners.
But the difference is that those NSX owners probably drive like grandma who lives in FL going 5 MPH below speed limit... Oh, and BONE STOCK!!!

And there are the NSX owners who own it because they look pretty They drive 30,000 miles in 15 years and just praise about how great and reliable the car is... Quite funny if you ask me..

And the crazy, I have too much money, and I'm going to hire some shop to upgrade my NSX and no longer have NSX engine to make 600HP because other cars that cost less than 1/10 of the cost of my car could beat me types.. Those are the people who listen to their NSX shop guys and repeats it back on their forum... Act like they actually know.

And finally.. the complete morons who own an NSX and act like they are now an upper class because they think they own an exotic...

The laters are the ones who knows nothing about cars and have big ego thinking they know..

 

Boy did I stumble into the wrong room. A little heated in here.

 

^
lol

 

Aaron,

You sure did walk in to the wrong room

 

Update...

I just got an email thru my work email accout from NSX prime..

The moron who sold me the SSRs are making negative i-trade comments after 1.5 months.

To update the situation. I got the wheels balanced at the local Mazda dealership (Trussville Mazda) and just as I suspected (and service manager also inspect it) they were out of balance..

So, now he's wrong and calling me a con-artist and such... ******* retarded NSX owner!

PS. the moron who sold me the wheel is reading this thread.. so, hence bringing it back up!

 

I love E wars!

 

LOL! Me too!

 

I dont' knoe about ya'll, but my stock FD will beat a NSX any day. and NSX parts are expensive as hell. Though the 7s have alot of issues, u only got 6k on ur motor dude. I'd stick with the FD.

 

That thread was mildly interesting. Their were a number of reasonable responses peppered amongst the fan boys. I liked what PLZ had to say about it:

 

NSX better?... I think not... Different yes... Better than the FD?... Definitely not!

 

....until you realize the RX7 is horribly unreliable, blows motors, and expensive as hell to mod

But then again I own 2 FD's

And.. I am 6'3" - NSX's are harder than hell for me to fit in.. I'm not a fatass by any means... but I have enough trouble with the FD - and the NSX is built for people that are 5'8 and weigh 140lbs lol

 

I know you're partially tongue in cheek, buuuut:

your point #1 and 2 are the same thing, and only really apply to heavily modded cars. FDs are *cheap* to mod up to about 330 rwhp, which is plenty for most. It's only expensive to mod for the crazy SOBs like you and I who want gobs of power

 

Just an opinion, but why not spend the money to make or buy a reliable FD? A little research reveals the causes and solutions for all of the FD's problems. *Shrug*, I drive an N/A FC. Those can go to 350k miles if you take care of them, with nothing serious to deal with in the meantime. I think turbo FCs last about 80% as long as N/A FCs, but I'm not sure.

The link below has every FD reliability mod I've ever read about from other sources:
http://www.sportcompactcarweb.com/projectcars/
Their used FD logged 30,000+ race track miles and still going strong.

Just an opinion based on book knowledge, not real world knowledge. Maybe someone else can comment.

 

This is true. A guy near me has a 92 or 93 targa top nsx in black. His clutch finally went out since he has about 120k miles. Didnt know anyone who did work on nsx's so he took it to the dealer. Umm you DONT wanna know how much he paid lol.

Then again nsx owners do have money to begin with.

The nsx is somewhat reliable but dont let the honda tag fool you, its still a performance car.

They might perform flawlessly for like a year or 2, one thing breaks and its like a mortgage payment.

At least with our cars, it might be a pain in the *** with the little **** wrong but most of the time it involves no money and some research and mechanical skills. When an engine does go bad, its not nearly as bad on the pocket if you go to the right engine builder. Plus its alot faster than an nsx and boost will always reign over a slow na engine.

Whatever floats your boat man. If you just wanna cruise in a nice exotic stock car, go with the nsx. If you like modding cars, going fast, getting your hands dirty from time to time, stick with the FD.

 

There is this guy I used to come across in AZ all the time, used to own mynsx.com but i guess the site is not up any longer. he had a yellow NSX, supercharged, hooked the hell up. 600hp or so, the thing was a beauty. He owned his own business and made assloads of money, he also owned a F355.

Now that I own two FD's, I'd consider giving one up for something more reliable and sleek in the future. Right now I am keeping both, and if I came across another smoking deal.. I'd buy a 3rd.

 

Well if thats your thing, more power to you. If i was in your shoes, id get an nsx if you could. I mean whats the point of having 2 of the same exact car?

Thats like having 2 blondes. I rather have a hot blonde and a hot brunette. Sure it might be fun to have both of the same car but can you have fun with both cars at the same time? No so driving one from the other basically shows no difference except obviously with the mods being put into it. Idk, thats just the way i see it.

And the yellow nsx, is it the one with black wheels and i "think" cf hood? Cause if thats the same one im thinking, he spent a CRAPLOAD for that 600hp. Again, modding this car is not cheap. Might not cost as much as a real exotic but boy do the costs add up to the same when you're doing anything to it.

 

This thread is sooo last year...
