Yup. The ONE time I park it in the street, it gets slammed from behind by a drunk driver. Totaled the shit out of it. I'm fine, but miss that damn car. Don't want to build another though, thinking of going with american muscle. Might get a viper or vette and boost it.Quote:

I ordered new non oem coils and oem plugs. My friends installed them prior to me returning home and it took care of the miss problem. Still have the TCS and ABS lights on and at times when cold the car went into limp mode, but I think that is due to bad o2 sensors. I have new ones but I want to wait to install them when I move home, drop the motor, clean the engine bay up and install my headers.
Car drove good while I was home. Do you still have any parts from your NSX [MENTION=77]Spoolin_VTEC[/MENTION]?
Joe, why did you move to Germany? I don't think I ever knew the reason(s). As for going back to Canadaland for unfortunate reasons, I hope all is well with family and everything turned out okay. Following you on social media, everyone in your family looks happy, your daughter is growing up so fast! And your son, very cool picture with you and your father vs you and your son! Looking forward to those days myself, give it a few years lol.Quote:

A military posting got me to Germany. Only posting availible to my trade outside of Canada, and there are only 3 positions here. So I was very lucky to get selected. We are here for 4 years total. 1 1/2 years left until we are posted back home.Quote:

Thanks for the family compliments. We are definately enjoying living and traveling in europe. Kids are growing up way to fast.
I built a custom Cozy Coupe for my daughter which she loves and compairs it to "Daddy's Racecar (NSX)" lol.
I take her for drives in the Del Sol and she loves cruising, so when I get home I am sure she will be wrenching right beside me.
The NSX has either 94k or 96k miles now.
I am debating on what car to get for a daily when I move home. I want a 4 door fun car. Debating between 07-08 TL-S, WRX, Merc, BMW.. I dunno. I still have time to mull it over. I still want to bring the X5 home, but it has to be 15 years in order to import it back into Canada, and when we move home it will only be 14.4 years old. So I may have to wait the 8 months before getting it shipped back. We will see.
Sorry for your loss Joey, I had no idea. God bless. I'd suggest against the 07-08 TL-S simply due to the lack of power you can make. WRX/STI is sure fun and will keep you holding back with much modding after a tune. The transmissions, unless they've changed with 2016, are supposedly glass after 400awtq. X5 would be nice to bring back though! Is it RHD?Quote:

The car has been sitting comfortably all winter, I did make an uneeded purchase however. I picked up a pair of Mint Recaro SR3 ITR seats in red. They too are being stored until we move home next summer. Hopefully east coast but I doubt I can get 3 postings to the east, fingers crossed.
Onto the cozy coupe. It is basically a self propelled push car where the kid can sit and and Fred Flinstone it around the yard. I slammed it on its face, added a wide body kit to and a Ferrari steering wheels. I had to add a push bar to the rear as Flinstoning it is now out of the question.
My daughter loves it and soon my son will be big enough to crawl into it.

Figure after a year plus I should update the thread.
In August I will be returning to the same base that I was at prior to moving to Europe. SO that means that I do not have far to travel to pick up the NSX. Something like 50 days before I get to drive it, so I am excited for that.
After settling into the new house I will put the NSX up on stands and do a through inspection of all components. After sitting still off/on for 4 years I am sure there is something that will need to be addressed.
First things first, I need to send off the CCU to get re-soldered as I have zero climate control. The CCU is a weak part on the older NSXs and over time the solders crack.
The headers/o2 sensors still need to go on, rear valance as well.
I purchased a slightly used Stoptech rear BBK from Cody @ LoveFab but still need to find the ebrake brackets first before installing. Fronts are red, and rears are black.
I need to find a pair of Bride seat rails in order to install the DC2R seats. Interior leather pieces need to either be redyed or replaced with the proper color.
Fender repair and front end respray over the winter I am hoping.
I also am bringing back the Del Sol I have here which will be the daily for myself while the NSX is put up.
Welcome back! Quite the update. Seems like a strong list and a good mindset going in to check on the car. Keep us updated!Quote:
