    i had a red/tan 5-speed 1996 NSX also. don't be afraid of them, there isn't much difference. the 5-speed actually has a lot better ratios for street driving than the 6-speed. and honestly, the 3.2 isn't hardly any faster, you certainly can't tell. people generally don't aim for the '95 and '95 NSX-T's because they were the heaviest and slowest. you're talking about 80 lbs. added for the lift roof. like someone once explained to me in simple terms, that's like having a kid in the passenger seat.

    and like i did with my '96, i put a set of '97 factory headers on the car, and it gains the 20 horsepower the 3.2 litre engine has. Acura stroked the motor for torque, and put on a set of headers ('91 to '96 had a steel manifold) for the horsepower increase. '97 factory headers bolt right up, and there you go. 20 more horsepower.

    and believe me, you want this car with a lift roof, it's a completely different machine...

    Nice,, See that's what I'm talking about, that beige interior is just what the red needs, not the black. actually if it be known though one of my favorites is the white interior on black. I have looked at 95-96, it's just for the money they are holding a good price so my off thinking is the 97 couldn't be much...................more, LOL wishful thinking. I agree, one of the coolest things on the MR2 was getting the top off, makes for a whole other driving experience.

    My mother still drives her 1975 VB Commodore that she purchased brand new. We think it has about 600,000km on it.

    Not bad for a 2.5 straight 6.

    78 or 79 for the legendary VB. I can remember when they came out they seemed such a sporting and sophisticated car. I learned to drive in an SLE 5.0 auto.
    My dad was a Holden dealer for 20 years or so.

    Mitsubishi ASX. I choose the bike, she gets to choose the car. Sounds like a fair deal to me.

    1975 was the start of the little 308 Toranas that blitzed everything on the racetrack

    Me and a friend built this 1968 Pontiac LeMans with a 455, about 15 years ago. That was a fun car for a few years, but we eventually had to sell it to move on to other things.

    This was my last cage 2003 Subaru WRX fitted with a 2004 STI motor and 6 speed gearbox

    [​IMG]

    Very fast especially in the hills ( great bike chaser ) but I didn't get to use it enough so I sold it and put the money onto the mortgage

    Much prefer the bike anyway even if it's raining and the Mr's has a car anyway to do the shopping
