Just a quick update for everyone.
BLUF: I bought more shit yo! (Figured this would be easier for those of you who prefer not to read long posts)
Doug has knocked out virtually everything but the dash, door panels, steering wheel, and air bag. This dude is amazing folks. Pics to follow shortly.
Gil has installed the NSX-R Gauges (yes, I purchased another set and feel stupid for selling mine) and it looks amazing! Pics to follow soon. He is still working on a shift-light solution, but I have no doubt he will solve it.
Gil is working on a special project right now that will blow your minds. People have questioned what has taken so long for the body, but in the next couple of weeks you will see for yourselves. The Madonna Kit is now is wide as a Sorcery Kit. 20mm fenders were just too small and I really wanted a bigger contact patch for when the engine built. It is now a Madonna Kit on steroids!
Gil and I were talking the other day and both realized that we had forgotten to pay attention to under trays for the car. The Madonna front bumper will be extended underneath to connect to a genuine NSX-R Battery Under Tray with OEM fins. The order has already been placed and everything should be received within the next couple of weeks. The only problem is that one fin (the drivers side) won't be available till August, so there is a little delay for that piece (sigh).
A big thanks to Thomas at DownForce for my fuel tank under tray and the front bumper under tray. Thank you as always, Thomas. Just incase you have never spoken to Thomas, or emailed him, he's a great guy with a ton of information and always willing to help. I wish DF would come back to Prime! Hint, hint Thomas...
A huge thanks to Chris at SoS for helping me score a set of low mileage Comptech Cams with Cam Gears for an amazing price! Cannot wait to start the engine build and drop these in. Chris has helped me quite a bit on this build and has offered some great advice. The guy is a wealth of information and is always willing to lend a helping hand! Thanks again Chris!
In preparation for the engine build, I have decided to swap from the NSX-R Engine Mounts to a set of RF-Yamamoto mounts. What is strange is that when I purchased the NSX-R mounts, the seller had told me that they are more ridged than the non-R's, but from what Gil tells me, there is really no difference that he can see though the part numbers are different as well as the casting numbers. The RF-Yamamoto mounts feature polyurethane, so I am hoping these will be a little more ridged. Pics will be posted when they arrive.
Gil has an RF-Yamamoto Oil Pan coming as well. I finally suckered him into spending some money on the Magnum Grey Beast!
Stay tuned for more updates...
