Don't lump me in with them. I'm an enthusiast of mechanic design, be it engines, weaponry, or productive machinery. Not a guy with a wrench that reads the marketing garbage AFE/insert other "enthusiast" brand that can't legally warranty half of their products.

 

I fail to see a correlation between people screeching variations of "forced induction is more efficient!!! Reclaimed energy!!!" and anything I've said.

If you can't be civil. Please leave

 

Edit. That goes for everyone in the thread

2 things.

 

1. he should take another interior pic. you might know, he might have a trash interior.

2. cheap amp? uh oh, might burn your car down. if u buy this, i recommend replacing the amp with something quality and with a quality wiring job.

Never been a fan of those, but that's just me. 

 

Big 4 cylinder that doesn't make a whole lot of power (relative to displacement, that is). Some people like them though and you get Toyota reliability which is always a strong point.

I have when people take pics for craigslist without washing the car. >:( But I dont see any rust or noticeable damage, no CEL.

 

The big gotcha is the salvage title that he stealth-fully snuck into the description. 

 

Definitely worth requesting more pics, IMHO.

Interesting.

 

don't find it surprising the guys still come back to the old NSX. but i agree with the guys. the new NSX is very good, with up to date tech and good power and everything, but if you just want the simplicity of driving, the responsiveness, and the pure thrill of driving, the old NSX does it better.

Man... things were so different back then. Yes, they had TC but the sheer power of the V10 and the relatively (in comparison to modern day) simple aero, plus the less advanced bridgestone tires. 

 

 

 

 

@MEC-777 check out the brake dust coming out of Webber's car! Either that, or it's him changing to a richer engine map I dunno. And yes, these cars are also in Automobilista. ;)

Awesome battle right there! :D 

 

Yeah, that very well could be brake dust. This track works the brake pretty hard with heavy braking zones following the long straights. You wouldn't see any smoke from the engine on deceleration because I'm pretty sure the injectors are off with the throttle closed. The only exception being when the blips on the downshifts. Could also be rubber dust from the track surface or tires. 

 

As cool as those high-revving V10's were, I still fine the turbo V6's more fascinating and better-sounding (externally, not on-board). ;)

You probably want it even more when im done with it. (16 valve head, billett crankshaft, forged rods, low comp pistons, Twin turbos, polyurethane bushings on all four corners, billstein clubsport shocks and lowered springs)

But still rusty on the outside.

Keep in mind, these are planned mods. The car is currently stock (except for the fuel injectors and fuel pump since it has been converted to run on E85)
