New daily driver...

m3456y · 11-13-06, 07:11 PM

Thanks to a thread posted by 4Cruzin on an NSX forum I frequent, I'm now an owner of a '93 6-speed Coupe. Tysons article not only got me interested, but he steered me towards the car I ended up buying. After speaking with the owner in Atlanta, I flew up and drove the car back to Fort Myers. I've owned a couple NSX's and still own a low miles, highly modified '92 - and I'm constantly impressed by the innovative engineering that Acura puts into their cars. Some of my NSX parts also fit on the Legend. So far I've installed 2006 TSX wheels, tinted the windows and spent hours detailing the car. Suspension lowering parts and a few replacement bits are in the mail. My goal is to end up with a car as clean as 4Cruzin - a tough act to follow. I hope to learn a lot about the car on this forum...it's already been a very valuable tool.

welcome to the forums, tyson is a great guy! and welcome to the 6spd club! I hope you have ur stock nsx steering wheel laying around, i'm currently working on retro fitting one on my car. post some more pics of the driveway! the 6spd looks real nice!

Congrats.

Was this the one owned by an older gentleman and his daughter drove it? If so, that's a really good car. I was thinking about it. If you want yours to look goo as Tyson's or Pat's, you definitely got some good motivation.

truonghthe · 11-13-06, 08:07 PM

welcome to the forum man. post the pic of your Legend and NSX some time man we love to see them next to each other.

m3456y · 11-13-06, 08:17 PM

Of the NSX...believe me,the Legend is just as much fun to work on - and a lot less $$.

antik · 11-13-06, 08:18 PM

Welcome to the forums!

I wanna see pictures of that Porsche!

truonghthe · 11-13-06, 08:24 PM

i know since it an NSX it expensive to work on. and yes Legend still alot less $$$. dam man how much did you pay total for the NSX and comtech supercharge kit and every thing. in my quote it must be around $35k or more.

m3456y · 11-13-06, 08:30 PM

you don't wanna know.

ssilk · 11-13-06, 08:34 PM

First, welcome to the forum man. Tyson and the rest of the guys are a great bunch. The NSX is clean beyond words man, nice taste in clean mods...love it.
Good choice on the six speed coupe, seems that your inclined into the Acura scene and should love it (I miss my 93). Soon I hope to find a clean six speed or a nice 240SX or Silvia, we'll see. Hope to see more pics of that NSX soon!

mistayoung · 11-13-06, 08:48 PM

Welcome aboard - nice rides!!!!!

Love that NSX...... one day.........

4cruizn · 11-13-06, 08:48 PM

Mark, glad to hear you're enjoying the Legend, and (as I've already said) welcome to the family! We'll be anxiously awaiting updates as you get your suspension and interior worked on. Not that the car needs any work at all -- it looks minty from every picture I've seen.

Let me post your other pics for those are interested.

Phase I - Tint

Phase II - TSX wheels

Your NSX is an inspiration and your Legend is not far behind!
