You may be correct, but they sure look like RG5s to me...

Figured out the wheel mystery. They are Champion RG19s.

28 days and 5100 miles to date.
Oil consumption is running around a quart every 2000-2500 miles, which seems normal from what I have read.
Going in for an oil change next week and thinking about doing a preventative water pump given the car is 7 years old, despite the low mileage.

Excellent looking ride. The wheels are an almost perfect compliment. Im glad to see things are going well with her.. I pick up my new one on Sunday and am both excited and nervous as Im picking it up sight unseen.

Congrats on the p-car M BADGER. I also love the NSXs...
I know that feeling, also bought mine sight unseen. Good luck!

It has been almost two years with the Turbo.
Here are the highlights:
23 months. 51,000 miles.
20 MPG, mostly highway.
$20,640.00 spent to date on maintenance and modifications.
APR Flash
Speedtech 2.5 x-pipe
Sachs 2.5 Clutch
One set of Michelin PSS
One set of Blizzak LM-60 snows and winter wheels
Power Steering Reservoir replaced at 46k per TSB under CPO.
Coolant pipe replacement at 55k after failure, under CPO.
Recent clutch and exhaust installation. Preventative maintenance: Water pump, T-Stat, pressure accumulator, slave cylinder.
I love the APR flash and the Speedtech exhaust.
In its current state I figure around 530-540 hp and 540-550 tq at the crank.
I don't plan any additional modifications for the next year or two.
At that point, it is decision time. 997 Turbo? K16 Billets? Large turbos?
