Congrates, enjoy her awesome job!
Thanks! I wanted to take it out this weekend, but it's 109 degrees today in the Inland Empire.
man what a fast and great build:smile:
sickkk
Thanks for the compliment
You're like my brother from another mother. I can certainly understand the joy in restoring a car and making it better in all the ways you've done. Outstanding work.
After taking apart so many other cars and then taking apart the NSX. I completely agree - This car was crafted. Just imagine the engineering and coordination effort just to get all those pieces designed to work together so well like that.
Oh, it's also nice to see Nero have a change of heart as this thread progressed! haha
Thanks! In my eyes, its the only way of doing things. If you're not willing to do it the right way, then leave it be and save your money. :smile:
i love this build project..... this guy spares NO EXPENSE!!!! Some of those OEM items he's purchased put together probably amount to more than the NSX itself... wow! .... i love ppl with bottomless wallets!!! Great work!
I've had a mostly change of heart I personally would have shaved off the ridiculous factory antenna while doing all this work but sounds like the owner wants it all oem The car is absolutely stunning, but for me there's still the performance aspect to enhance. Could use headers, short gears, non compliance everything, chassis reinforcement, bbk, etc. to go along with its stellar new looks. Sounds like OP has the cash to do it so maybe he can fill us in on the future plans, if any. I probably woulda still bought a newer car to be more cost effective except that this car is a coupe, which maybe worth all the extra trouble. Plus it has a throttle cable so it is primed for some itb action! A huge bummer about the 95+ cars is the drive by wire and obdii for me. Congrats to the owner, it came a long way really fast! Enjoy it! Now give us a ton more photos for wallpaper!! =D
Trust me, I am just like anyone else here and budget things as much as possible. I just put my money into areas, where most never consider I guess? It may look intimidating, but really does not cost all that much. Especially when I did everything myself, and got a little break on the OEM parts from Acura. As I stated earlier, if anyone needs help or direction. Feel free to PM me.
This worked out great for me, as someone mentioned earlier "why not buy a 02-05". I am in this car, for a lot less then what your average 02-05 would cost. Granted, this will never be an 02-05 (i know that), but then again, budget and enjoyment wise- this route makes more sense (for me). I would recommend to any NSX enthusiast, that has the itch of modifying their cars, to take this route.
Next I am still crossed between sticking with N/A or going with LoveFab's Street Turbo system, which is roughly around 400+ WHP. Also, in the process of ordering Black Pole Position Recaros for the interior (Thanks to Tae!), and so on.
Again, these are things I did not feel at liberty of doing to a virgin 03 NSX, that I spent a good penny on (for its originality, color and mileage). This car, after it is all set and done, I will still be in it for less then what your average 02-05. Guranteed. :smile:
