Not offended, just wanted to make sure people understand why I made the video, and that the car is loud so it may "sound" like I was driving hard.. but I was actually doing 50 which is sketchy enough in a neighborhood lol.

Also wanted to clear up how I got straight pipes in the first place, I wanted to do the UK mod, I lowered the car and many shops said they can't do the car because it's too low.. some didn't understand how to do it.. so in the end I just got a shop to chop the mufflers and put on the oem tips so it looks stock. BUT it's ok because I do have a full AP2 catback ready to bolt in

I wish I did man but the guy I got the car from was just like me, didn't really care about the past. We both had the car inspected before purchasing, I took care of what needed to be done. It really does speak for itself, hard to let it go but that's life. It was hard to even modify it because I didn't want to ruin such a clean car

AP1 clusters don't show temperature so this doesn't work on them.

When I was parting out an ICBC write off AP2, a guy named Dwayne bought a ton of parts off of me. At the time, he was working on 2 or 3 AP2's and I recall one of them was red.

Americas used car prices can't even be put on the same realm as Canadian prices however. Everything in this country is retardedly expensive in comparison, other than a trip to the hospital.

Here is a yellow NA2 w/ 19K KMs for $85K. Probably the same one.

2001 Acura NSX - T 19k km !! RARE !

freakshow 02-13-2015 01:20 PM

I was always torn about the 97-01 NA2s since they had the engine upgrade (which isn't much), but didn't have the fixed headlights yet. But 19K.. nice.

I think the owner might still have that car. This one might be different

I'm not sure! I bought the car from the guy he sold it to

Full disclosure: The buyer who bought the car from Burrard Acura paid way less then 85K!

On a side note, 6" lift with IFS still in there is fucking gay. Also, those tires look wider than 12.5" which is stupid on a 33" for the most part.

edit* nvm i googled all my questions, lol. I agree with the IFS still being in there being a fail for a rock crawler.

well it was 250k km and needed a clutch so 9800 is cheap but not insanely cheap

fliptuner 02-13-2015 04:25 PM

Mazda miata hard top

I know there's a few NA owners and this is a decent price (depending on condition)

m30 infinity coupe convertable

Now this is rare... Collector plate it next year?

On the topic of convertibles, blue star motors also has a matching S800 convertible to the silver coupe that was posted earlier!

freakshow 02-13-2015 04:54 PM

The buyer of any NSX would have paid less than the current market value

MPTness 02-13-2015 04:55 PM

530i 5spd w/ facelifted steering wheel and mk4 gps to finish off the m5 look

Talked to the owner and he was willing to let it go for 6k...
Too bad not my cup of tea...

Very clean, mechanic owned BMW Central Saanich, Victoria

freakshow 02-13-2015 04:59 PM

Looks super clean. I'd be tempted if it wasn't at 260k kms already...

It's not even a TDI so title is misleading and that turbo is garbage. Still way better than the toyota turbodiesel engine but it's not a tdi.

This use to belong to my brother! He literally bought it off a sweet old Lady named Betty who only drove it on Sundays. He saw the car Oregon and left an note and phone number saying if she'd ever want to sell it to call him. Six months later she called saying that she was too old to drive, he made an offer, and a week later it was shipped up to Vancouver. They actually kept in touch after the sale and exchanged Christmas cards and photos. He sold it the car a few years later to the current owner.
