Congrats...I dig the wheels...

thanks all for your warm welcome.

Gonzilla, very good observation, I must say. Like I mentioned before, this car is an european spec car which had to be converted back to us spec when it was brought back in to us in 2006. US DOT conversion was done properly by the the shop in baltimore, MD. Previous owner wanted to keep the european look so he put back front light and corner's back on. As far as rear bumper, he could not take it out because they were drilled in. But dual rear fog still works which is really cool. Front driving light is a PIAA which is controlled by the wireless remote next to headlight adjuster on the left hand side. kind of cool..

It really is a cool car. It even has a single din head unit which plays both CDs and MDs if anyone knows what MDs are. I happened to have lots of MDs so it worked out perfectly, plus Harmon Kardon I pod hook-up.

Car also has a clifford alarm which can open and close windows and remote start as well.

Any comments or questions are welcomed.

ps- I'll try to come up with a short write up soon, comparison between NSX vs 993. It's a completely different set up and feel. I'm just very lucky to have an opportunity to experience it. By the way, anyone wants to take a look or ride, you are all welcome.

Thanks

Andy

If you haven't been on doki yet, the jump on @dorkiphus.net. Provide those guys with pizza and beer, and they'll drop an engine for you.

Hey Andy its Paul (had the 2004 White NSX in NoVA). Great to see you picked up a new toy and it looks great. I LOVED my 993TT I had awhile back and I've begun the search for another one. Enjoy the 993

Hey Paul,

I didn't know you had 993tt. Anyways, great to hear from you again. I'm sure we'll see eachother in some meets. I'm gonna try to make it out to one in November in MD. Hope to see you there.
Good luck with your search, you have a great taste when it comes to cars.

Denise993

Congrats on the beautiful new ride! I'm sure I'll get to meet you at a local event or when Taylor has an open house at German Auto Group. I'm glad he was able to do the PPI for you. He's the best!

Welcome!

Congrats and welcome. I am also looking forward to comparing the NSX and the 993.

Denise993, I would love to see your car in person, I know it has TPC, very cool.

well, I guess I better come up with a comparison sooner than later.

let me see.

98 GrandPrix White NSX- It is a 3.2L VTEC engine with 36k miles on it. It handles beautifully and mid engine sitting right behind you and every time you rev, you can hear the air getting suck down right behind your left ear. It is a beautiful sound. Feels like a go cart in a sense that it really connects you to the road, it sits down really low and lay out of instrument cluster and view from the seat is unobstructed and feel very protected. Yet it's a very comfortable ride as well. Mechanically it's in excellent shape and maintenance is very easy. I had this car for about 3 years now and still love it very much.

95 black 993 cab- My most recent craziness which I'm very happy about. Design: I think it's a piece of art work which I can drive everyday. Much more solid feel even the door itself feels heavy. I love the sound of aircooled engine, it's a completely different sound and feel, not just sound but you can feel the difference in your feet. This is more raw, brute machine than NSX. NSX feels much smoother compare to 993. It's amazing to see two automobiles at the other end of spectrum can satisfy me completely in very different ways. It's hard to describe, you just have to experience it, I guess.

Like I said before, you are all welcome to experience it.

thanks

Andy

Congrats on choosing the fastest color!

Interior looks great. RS shift **** is a nice touch - I think a 996 steering wheel would be very much to your liking.

Wheels are great, too - OEM aero or RS side skirts would set them off very nicely, in my opinion.

Smoke

Welcome! It’s nice to see another great example of a 993 in the area.

Stuttgart951- Thanks and I possibly will look into side skirt as well.

Smoke- I would love to see your speed yellow car. I used to have a speed yellow boxster before I traded with M5 for 4 seater car.
