I only live 15-20min south so I've headed over a couple of times at night, never during the day. Today was the first and it Is fuuuuuucked up during the day! The bikers are nuts, straight up crazy. The spots that they chose to pass slower cars where bonkers. And sooooo many of them. 1 Lancer in the ditch. And the icing on the cake, 4 BMWs parked on an angle half blocking a lane after one of the blind corners to get pics all together! I am just gonna drive it at night from now on. To bad it's the only fun spot that's close. |

Going on a weekend day.... during fall colours.... GNSP. I still enjoy my occasional lunchtime runs through there during the week. Out and back in under an hour, with ice cream. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
There's some nice runs at the top of Winston Churchill on the side roads but most are dirt rds |

It's a nice ride up there. Lots of switchbacks. It ends up around Lake Rosseau. I have a route if you're interested. |

I've been through there many times and never experienced that kind of crazy. Opp are always there too. Weird |

Runs from just north of Orillia into Bala. |

|
|
|||||||
It's easier on the car than on the bike... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
It's fun, I did it in the wagon a few weeks ago at like midnight, lol no traffic. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||

||||||||
|
|
|||||||

||||||||
|
|

||||||||
|
|

Hottest shitbox in this forum! |

I am not a fan of modded NSXs but damn that looks good!!! |

Always loved the black top...the only way the NSX should be since it was designed to look like a COCKpit! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
Black and white combo on an NSx is the best |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
Thanks guys! I love my Mid Engine V6 Accord it won't stay white for long (its actually wrapped) but will be painting it back to factory Sebring Silver Spring of Next year. Here is another awesome roller shot from that weekend. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
ricer! sexy brah. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
silver ? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
Yes Silver, As much as I love the NSX in white, doing a complete colour change is not feasible and I do not want to shell out 8K+ in a complete in and out paintjob and even at 8K wont guarantee a 100% job. who knows I may pull the trigger when the time comes but for now... I'll stick with the factory silver. besides... it doesnt look bad at all |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
you cant go wrong w/ that color silver. both looks great IMO. Although what has been done to the NSX? rear tires looks meaty. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
Originally Posted By: c2k you cant go wrong w/ that color silver. both looks great IMO. Although what has been done to the NSX? rear tires looks meaty. Thanks! not that meaty compared to other NSX's out there.. its pretty much standard sizing for most with 255/35R18 in the rear.. most NSX owners usually run wider in the rear. as for whats done... HSD Coilovers with F-10K and R-12K Work Meister S1R NeoMotorsport 6 Pot BBK Taitec GT-008 JGTC Parallel Exit Exhaust ProSpeed 300Cel Cats RDX Injectors <== one of the best things that can be done to the NSX! ARC Intake ProSpeed Stage2 "tune" <== was part of the RDX injector upgrade The rest are pretty much cosmetics refreshed the interior with Recaro's and stuff Pretty much went through a "clean up" to refresh and update the NSX a bit. |

I like the lip on the silver pic better - which one's that compared to the white one in the angle shot? heh, love the plate. |

Originally Posted By: hyper-s2k I like the lip on the silver pic better - which one's that compared to the white one in the angle shot? heh, love the plate. The silver one has a Wings West front lip. The lip on my NSX is the Shine Type One lip which is a Replica of the I's Impact front lip But currently I'm using the OEM 95+ front lip for my everyday driving.. or more like anytime when i take it out since the OEM lip can take a beating and is not as low compared to the Shine lip |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
i've never acutally driven an NSX, only rode in one. If you feel like taking a 348 for a quick spin maybe we can trade for a 10min drive. |

DEAL! would love to take your 348 for a quick spin! To sum things up or my way of describing the feel of driving a NSX is like driving a ITR its gives you the Raw feeling of feedback, you feel connected as you are driving it yet can be comfortable at the same note. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
Cool send me a PM we can see if we can figure it out before the snow comes lol The 348 is like driving a big go cart |
||||||||

|
|||||||
Did someone say meat? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
I'll do a meat so long as I'm in the country. Mike, would you bring the RX7? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
I will come out if I can drive the Ferrari |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
I took the car to Ferrari this morning for fuel rails and they where sent the wrong parts, they have two right side fuel rails Dunno why they didnt check before they took it apart. Didnt even offer a loaner 458 or anything! |

wanna drive a real machine? a tsx? it's just like an NSX just a letter off |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
Dayumn That sucks though. But you can get parts there. Whatever you need with the discount. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
Thanks Rob for giving me the opportunity to drive your 348TB! Fun times! until OPP decided to show up everywhere. The 348TB was defiantly a delight to drive! I do have a few GoPro Vids to post up but need to do some major editing before I upload the video any good programs anyone would recommend to do some basic editing? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
nice! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
no prob, I enjoyed the NSX. I really wish i bought one when 25k got you a nice clean mid KM car. It would have been an awesome awesome daily driver. I was totally shocked how nice it is to drive! |
||||||||

It was just good timing when I got my NSX... dont think I could find anything like what I got anymore around. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
so the question is... which is better? NSX vs 348? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
i dont think one is better, they are just different. If i was buying one to drive everyday i would buy the NSX, parts are chepaer, better interior, less road/wind noise But as second car i think i enjoy the 348 a bit better. I like that it's more involving to drive. I like the noises, the smells, it;s a bit more old school feeling. Which is funny becuase they are both the same age lol. In the early 90s, i can see how the NSX made such a huge impact to the sports car world. Neither of thrashed the others car becuase 1 - it's not my car lol 2 - i didnt want to hit anything (see number 1 as to why) 3 - after a fun first run the place was covered with OPP |

Glad you enjoyed! Get that video cut down to size i wanna see what it looks/sounds like? Can you hear the 348 over the NSX |

Thanks guys! |

Thanks guys! My take on 348TB vs. Ferrari. would be pretty much the same as what Rob said. Mind you that I did do some changes to the NSX to become a bit more "Modern" and updated a few things IE: -replaced the factory Leather seats ( after 23 leather was rock hard) with DC5 Recaro SR4 seats which is a delight! had them in my RSX and now in my NSX. Can drive for 5 hours strait without killing my back. -refreshed the interior replaced all the old and worn out leather. -updated the audio with Navi, bluetooth, speakers amps, sub all that jazz. -exterior, Changed the rear end to the more updated 02+ with the tails and the rear valance. -Full HSD coilovers valved F -10K R -12K which are mighty comfortable, Wifee approved but all and all the car still gives the Raw feeling which what I love in a drivers car. As for Robs 348 Love the raw no power steering feel, feedback of the drive is just right! Gated shiftier is defiantly superb in a direct feel of shifting, definitely more feedback than my NSX for sure. But IMO 2 different animals NSX would defiantly be a daily summer driver and the Ferrari would be the weekend Sunday car for sure. Which my NSX was my Daily summer car until my Sportcross came along which now the NSX become just a weekend Sunday car. |

I know my back wont be able to handle stiff rides anymore Surprisingly not bad at all and its not too far off with the R spec Suspension which is 10K - 10K its actually very comfortable feels tight but for everyday driving its awesome. Rob found it very comfortable as well. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
very suprised when i found out what the spring rates where! Corners flat yet rides great |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
^That seems to be a common thing. Spring rates have little bearing on ride quality. Shock stiction and high speed rebound and compression is what affects it. I also learned this when I had nice coilovers XD Also keep in mind the NSX is double wishbone. so 10k/12k is probably more like 5k/6k at the wheel XD |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
I'm actually running on kkkkkkorean Coilovers! HSD to be exact. Sponsor provided and i tried it out... surprisingly very impressed myself. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
^ oooo so puuurrrrttttyy oh ya for sure, with proper matching shocks and stiff springs, it;s no prob. On my old orange hatch it ran somthing like 12k and 10k, and it wasnt terrible at all since it had properly matched shocks. The 348 has factory coilovers, over the winter i'll drop it down a tiny bit and maybe get spacers for the rear. Although i need new tires, so thats always an excuse for new rims |

nice edit bro |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
no it doesn't have a 3rd pedal, BUT it doesnt take much to convert any IS300 or Supra Tranny + ECU and 3rd pedal and lines and easily be changed, usually done within a day |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
did they make the wagon in manual? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
not sold in manual here from my recollection |
||||||||
|
|

Nice choice of rims. Clean. Hate the flashy shit these days. License plate is jokes |
