    It's a feeling like I can't describe. It's defiantly not as powerful as the RSX but it's not even about that. The feeling is real. It's all there. The power, the handling.

    I have never driven a mid engines real wheel drive car other then my NSX, so I have nothing to compact it too.

    As for looks, everytime I'm out I'm being stared at. Gas stations, restaurants, cruising on the highway. The looks are always there. The first day I bought it I parked it a the casino to show my grand father. Within 3 minutes I had a crowd of old gambler men standing around asking questions and looking the car over. They could not believe it was an Acura.

    I took it for our annual road trip to your states with a few friends in Sept, had one lady in NH stop me and ask me if it was a 2012, I stated that it was in fact a '91 and she was dumbfounded.

    I didn't get to really drive it that much after the Boston trip due to a really bad wheel baring causing the car to sway really bad on the road. That and a few new tie rod ends and ball joints we should have a great spring.

    Thats awesome! Everything I assumed it would be. Sounds like you'll have a great sprinf season for sure. Its a phenomenal looking car, I truly plan to own one in the future. Either white or red, black is nice too but the Si is black and I always wondered about red or white.

    Very glad to hear you're enjoying the exotic thus far. Make sure to update this like crazy! Cheers

    P.s. Are you on L4p?

    Bit of an update. Decided to redo the brakes as they were chipping, dirty and looked horrible. The PO just spray painted everywhere and there is so much overspray on just about every component in teh wheel well. I feel they turned out "alright" Ill keep them as is for a bit. I may repaint them back to red eventually. On with the pics.





    Aftter a few coats of Aircraft paint stripper.













    Ive decided to not go ahead with the coilovers yet and upgrade my rotors, pads, fluid, and SS lines.
