Seen the light!

[rocco1]

As the title says, ive seen the light! I have made my mind up and decided that I am not selling my car.After driving it again after two weeks ive realised how special these cars are,so looks like she's a keeper.Just need to sort the starting problem.

Funnily enough I was thinking about a change late last year, first drive of the new year quickly changed my mind.

In that case You've got enough to import an NA2 NSX-R with the value of yours ;)

Sometimes the bright lights look too attractive to ignore,and when you get up close to the bright lights there not bright at all,in this case the 964 turbo cab,all Porsche have done to this car is,replaced the 3.6 engine with a 3.3turbo and used a different gearbox and that is it! No bigger brakes or callipers ,no bigger ball joints, left the suspension as standard,so baiscally they have put a 3.3t engine and box in a turbo boddied shell and thats it,oh did i forget the £80k price tag!

well there you go ... we warned you about looking at this overpriced german mobile :D

sensible decision made i believe ... now its time to take that advert off PH's! :cool:

100%!!! Thats if the deal pulls off,and again i will not sell the NSX untill i have 100% confirmation that it will arrive in the UK with all the paperwork inc SVA passed !

[TheSebringOne]

Rocco, have you any pics of the Type R?

[Sudesh]

Is there an NSX-R prescription going round at the moment lol:)

[rocco1]

Rocco, have you any pics of the Type R?
No pictures as of yet,all ive been told its white and done 300klms yes 300 klms.I suppose seeing is believing,the funds are there if the car is avalible,so its a waiting game from now.

[Sudesh]

Take it your looking at a facelift one as you mentioned SVA? Even with 300km, hope it had its regular inspections and service, as it will still be an 8 or 9 year old car.

Good luck rocco, but beware of clocking etc. PS Don't believe the hype ( Best Motoring ) about performance.

[rocco1]

The person who is doing the deal has sorted many cars (Nissan skylne R34/5) for a very close friend of mine,in fact i think my friend was the first person or one of the first persons in the UK with a R35 and its the same person who is sorting this car out for me.He knows the ins and outs of the *** market,so we will have to wait and see,its that or wait two years make a better return on the NSX i already have, and go for the Scud or the Scud 16M,which by then should be more affordable as the 458 Spider will be in production.

[TheSebringOne]

Good luck Rocco. When it arrives and becomes road legal, I can't wait to see some pics.

[Sudesh]

Sounds great Rocco! Hopefully all goes well, would be fantastic to see another NSX-R in country.

Great news, it's so rare we even get to see an R over here.
