My new ride. 03 NSXT

[Boomin33]

I was going to wait to post pics until I had it in my driveway, but as I'm still vetting it... thought I'd pick your brains.

O.K. a few of you will know this car.

I'm going down Thursday morning to give a thorough once over (on the lift) with Richard.

Anything you can tell about it's history; any known problems. things I should look at ; may need to sort out?

if you have anything short of excellent, smile enhancing info, send me a PM; so that I can wimper in peace.

picking it up next week!!

Is this the same car that was at Japfest owned by an older Chinese fellow?

[dan the man]

he said its a MR chan so barry u could be right...

james u must know him... lol !

car looks stunning and as per honda should run faultless.

good luck

[Boomin33]

ahhh... older Chinese fellow.... music to my ears..

[simonprelude]

Very jealous, just couldn't justify changing or having yet another car sat in my garage.

[Boomin33]

Yep... going into sell mode quickly.. as I'm in the same boat.. but foolishly bought it anyway!

[dan the man]

sell the GT-ST and 300ZX to recoup some funds..

but keep the RX7 :)

[TheQuietOne]

I have some info for you...I hate you! I'm soooooo jealous, that car looked very very nice at Japfest, except for when Mr Chan was pulling doughnuts on the track. Still the rear blow-out saved him further embarrassment.

:D

[Kevin]

That is a high maintenance car. It only gets washed with Evian.:)

[kevinpsw]

If that's the one at Chiswick Honda - you lucky, lucky person. I offered one of my children as Part Ex along with my insurance payout for that beauty. Apparently, Chiswick don't take anything that eats as Part Ex. The car is fabulous. The colour would not be everyone's first choice but I like it a lot. Enjoy!

:D

The doughnuts were nothing compared to when he had it up on two wheels down the main straight ;)
So I would check for new tyres and any suspension damage ;)


Not that any of us are jealous.

All the best in your new ride, Paul.

[dan the man]

i seem to remember blue smoke also, wonder if he got that sorted..

although the way it crabbed from the rear i guess he had other things to sort out...

[gumball]

It's not a bad colour, but I prefered it when it was blue.

[Papalazarou]

Blue? Oh that's right it was blue. I was just thinking back to when it was red.

Cheers,


James.

You can't blame the guy for respraying it after all that oxidization came through, it looked terrible.

Maybe he thought that the orange would hide the rust better when it comes back through;)

One of the best in the country mate - enjoy (and keep the RX-7 :D)

Changed a bit since these days.....

[forumadmin]

I think you're all being mean and jealous. Stop it.

That car goes really well. Certainly flew past me on the M4 like I was standing still....and I wasn't hanging about either.:)

[TheQuietOne]

I love this thread, starts with a beautiful car and a serious question - ends with lots of sillyness...the best of NSXCB! :laugh:

[Steve]

Great colour, good luck with your new toy.

[forumadmin]

Well said Steve, finally someone just being nice.

Is this yours?

[dan the man]

madness.

'high powered' hatches come with 250 nowadays, i sometimes wonder journalists like to spice things up and point the finger

[TheQuietOne]

Just gets better Kevin...classic! :D

Does anyone actually know the reg on that one out of interest? Simon?

I think I may have made all yellow owners nervous. Better go out now and check for fish in the glovebox.

[TheQuietOne]

I think I may have made all yellow owners nervous. Better go out now and check for fish in the glovebox.

Only if they are Targas didn't you notice the yellow roof - that must narrow it down significantly. I even 'Googled' the guy's name it would be good to contact him and find out the reg. I would imagine that one was broken for parts anyway...:(

[TheQuietOne]

Actually you wouldn't lift a Targa by the roof surely?

[TheSebringOne]

I'm afraid I sat in your car and trumped in it! :eek: Not really! but I had the pleasure of indeed sitting in the car and helping the previous owner put the Targa back on when it rained and take it off again when it stopped at JapaneseFest at castle Coome in May this year. Also fixed his sticking CD cassette holder in the boot (ta TQO) and notice his ariel did'nt go all the way down back then! Having said that, its absolutely gorgeous in metal, I initally had slight reservations about the colour IOP, but in real, its lovely! Enjoy your new P & J! Oh by the way the previous owner a business man from China, I believe has returned to China on a slow boat ! :D

(No disrespect to those who are Chinese) :)

[dan the man]

trumper

LMAO

[DamianW]

Lovely looking car that NSX, but I preferred it when it was two NSXs. Think the back half is a 91 auto.

[NSX 2000]

Just shown this thread to the wife now she's LHAO!

James (TSO) she liked the trumping best. It always comes down to a fart joke!

[TheSebringOne]

Scottish humour with a wee bit of oriental spice! :laugh:

[Lankstarr]

Found this old thread whilst looking for details on extended warranties from Honda. Worth a read or a re-read :D

Does anyone know if I can still stick a warranty on my car as it's under 8 years old? Anyone shopped around? I seem to recall prices varied dramatically between different dealers.

I paid <£1k for another 3 years on my 2004 quite recently

[Lankstarr]

Nice, from...

[manisandher]

I paid £720 from Bristol Honda for a 3-year extension to the 4-year warranty they gave the previous owner when he bought the car from them.

HTH.

Trident Honda

[Sudesh]

Does the car not currently need to have a warranty before you can extend it further?

Most dealers on any model car will give an extended warranty, but only if the original warranty from day one has been extended and kept extended before they ever run out.

Ive also heard of the odd manufacture giving a warranty to a car that lapsed its time, but only after a 100 point inspection and full service at the dealer.

Cracking post Mani, you're a star!

Bristol Honda doing 3 years for price of two so 699! I'm getting it as soon as my service is done and they just need a copy of the fsh :-)

Glad it helped.
