FIRST: Just a bunch of little clips of one of the best sounding V6's of all time .... test pipes truly make the NSX engine sound even better!

Ark DTS + Test pipes, sweet ....

Now, I am pretty much DONE with my NSX exterior, in the past 2-3 weeks i have finally installed my 02+ rear Valance + small CF Diffuser + CF trunk lip ... also I got from Down Force the Licence plate frame in CF .... so yeah, only thing missing now i'll be Rick's Euroboutique Gen1 NSX DRL lights ,, but I am happy to say that, on the OUTSIDE I am, DONE!!!!

For Christmas i'll give myself a type-r copy steering wheel ... + some engine details .. :) ... now, If i only had a better camera :) ...

.. removing the rear bumper KILLED ME .. that was a PITA!

Nice, what suspension are you running?

Stephen

TEIN RA's .... since I bought the NSX i always though that it had a bit too much "travel" .. a bit soft, after the TEINS now it feels much much better ....

Oscar
 
and a very nice 900th post you did. love the video too.
 
Enjoyed the video! I have the same exhaust + test pipe set up so I know your excitement. With test pipes, who needs a sound system or some expensive pretzel exhaust right? Sadly, I had to finally reinstall my cats for CA smog inspection, to meet sound requirements at the track, and to give myself a break from the noxious fumes:smile:

Also, the rear now looks updated- do I sense a front-end conversion next?

Oscar, if theres one thing I've learned is, never say I'm done. Yep, if I had a dollar for everytime I said that!:rolleyes: LOL, it never ends. Glad you enjoyed removing your bumper as much as I enjoyed removing mine.:wink:

So true, I couldn't be happier ... finally sounds like it should ... the only issue yeah, are the fumes, although not that "annoying" still they are fumes ... but since I only drive during weekends or fridays .... oh well, let's see for how long it lasts .. :)

Great video. Airport Road, Boca?

Thanks man, this actually is the one by Cypress .. :) .. on Sundays is basically NONE around ... but of course, just b/c I was there, 2 cars drove by, but normally is almost 0 traffic .. + the asphalt is perfect .... but the room is only good for 1 and 2nd gear ,,,

The car looks great. A little roo much on the loud side for my taste, but it does sound awesome. I think I need to take my car to your paint shop for some refresh work.
 
looks and sounds awesome Oscar... your car has come so far so quick! Love it
 
What everyone said above.:smile:
 
car looks great oscar, holy crap you did a lot to that car in such a short time. I would highly recommend you get the 02 taillights to compliment the rest of your rear end. I know it is a bit pricey but well worth the money.
 
Still one of my favorite cars on here Oscar! Looks sooo good. Now you have me wanting some test pipes....:eek:

do it, :D you will not regret!

I'll see you on the 19th @ the towers, you'll see that under 3K is quiet :)

Car looks great.

Note to self: Get the CF trunk lip spoiler

It does closes the gap between the spoiler and the trunk, 02+ comes with them colored, I was going to get mine painted red, but I liked the bare CF .. and believe me, I HATE CF in most cars .... on the NSX looks for some reason like it belongs!
:)

Hay Oscar
Your car sounds very good, and its looking better every week. One thing You should try is putting a GT shine front lip ( black), it will finish of the car very well. (I think)-=(my next project):biggrin:
 
Looks and sounds great!
Can't wait to put test pipes on mine!
Jason

Let us know once you're done with that .. :) + sound bites are demanded!

Yeah, let us know how that turns out. I'm sure you will be posting pictures of it, i really want to modernize the front end of the pre 02 nsx.


Yeah, Actually Rick is done i think, he is shipping definitely this week .. I might get the DRL's beginning next week!
