Doc,
no offnece to anyone, but no one can keep there car as well
as Stacy. He spends more time cleaning it then I spend driving it, he spends more time modifying it then it spends out of the Garage. I think he has only put 3-4000 KM on it in the last 15 months.

Ed, my car has not been washed in about a month. (I used to wash it once a week).
I agree I has to force myself not to drive my car too. (short trips).
I think 70% of my miles this year were track or driving to and from the tracks

Must be the Seal Gray thing, no bath and lots of track time!
I have done about 2000 miles of towing this year already! Saves on the car and I make it home if the car does have a problem.

Stacy,
Your car is so beautiful, it's a perfect example of how it should be modified in good taste. I'd hate to see that car sold to someone who won't take as good a care of it as you.
I hope everyone on this board has convinced you to stick around "justalittlelonger".

My NSX was a great example of that...the guy is meticulate too!
BTW-Owned the NSX 3 years and put 400 miles on it,and not even on Canadian soil....down in Arizona,LOL!!
Good thing about them being this clean...if someone is truely interested in buying a car,they usually buy mine!
I will be here a while longer.I actually have been having a blast with it the last few days data logging with Durametric so I can add the smaller pulley(more boost)....YIPPPEEEE!
Makes me smile and makes my day that much better!
I am just not a 'driver'...I love the toys and the modding of them,problem solving or improving upon them, but just not using them!
Call me 'crazy' BUT...one thing I hope I have done for you guys here is brought you a bit of entertainment with my stupid/crazy projects !!!
At least I have entertained and confused Ed along the way,ROFL!!
Stacy

Firstly, I think Ed needs to be reprimanded for that teaser title that got so many of us concerned that he was about to sell his car.
Secondly, in Stacy's defense, he isn't like many owners of garage queens that simply fret over every bit of dirt and dust on their babies. Stacy gets very involved with his car and isn't afraid to tackle very challenging projects to improve upon his car. He derives his pleasure more from conceiving and personally implementing those improvements than he does from driving the car.
But I have to admit that I have busted him numerous times over the past 6 months for not driving his car more, at least when it isn't raining. If for no other reason, it allows more people to see it and appreciate the wonderful look he has created with his tasteful changes.
Someone is going to get a real gem whenever he sells it.
OK Ed, has this been sucky enough for you?

Ken when I was reading this post, I thought to myself...geez why is Ken sucking up to Stacy so much?
Stacy is in a group of his own, no doubt about that.

Well Ed,
You made me feel so bad about NOT driving or tracking my car.....I accepted an offer and received a deposit!!!
Figures too...this thing WAS really starting to 'rip'....I was convinced that IF this guy didn't come through I was keeping it a while longer!
Cheers everyone,
Stacy

I don't know, perhaps if you asked Ken nicely then he might sell, I mean tell you that he has one or not.
I spoke to Stacy, he is looking for a winter project, buy a used kit and maybe he will install it for you this winter!

How much I am not sure,my dyno is booked for 4 months...no kidding...they are doing a project that is not easy to pull off....FRICK!
Would have loved to have backed it up with some solid numbers BUT when you can feel your car 'pull' harder and watch the RPM's fly by...it is substantial!
Just get the car to me!
Ball is in your court,buddy boy!
