Thanks Mike,
I sent you en email with some helpful info...
Decided to post this in case any other NSXr is thinking about doing it...
www.onelapofamerica.com
I forgot to email you cost so here's a breakdown of what it cost me..
1. One Lap entrant fee ~2,200$
2. SVRA driver sign up $100 each = $200
3. 2 Sets of tires, hopefully you have extra wheels as well = $1,900
4. Gas for ~ 6,000 miles plus some track fuel = $1,000
5. Food, this is where you save as you don't have much time to eat
=$200
6. Hotel - basically the event starts in afternoon so you want to sleep good the day before and after event and every third day you can hit a hotel for 3-4 hours from about 2:00am - 0600am, that's if you haul ass with some other One Lap buddies using radio's and a lead car. ~$700.
It's 5-6,000$ anyway you look at it but doesn't seem like it until you do it and add it all up...
That's not counting any mods you may need.
The track portion is so small in comparison to driving between tracks, one set of pads all around will get you through the event no problem...
New coolant hoses are a must as well....we even popped one of the 3 amigos coolant hoses that was only 4 months old...I changed to modified silicone hoses with aluminum inter-connectors since...
The Tiatec wing is great for shows but my NSX is faster without it. I'd stick the OEM back on since you are already low on Hp.
Suspension, good hedders, brakes, lighten the car weight and all the Hp you can muster from the engine are what you need.
Get as much meat as you can under the body panels, I ran 17/17's.
It will be tough to get the engine up to snuff (SC, more hp NA etc etc) with the amount of time you have left without tossing some cash around ..couple of months and few days before One Lap.
Remember, it's not just about handling, they made their hi Hp cars handle good and lightened as well...
The first event is skid pad dry, then wet, with points for pulling most G.
Dozen or so different road courses and couple of drag events...
You need to finish pretty close in top 10 points standing on each event to finish in 10 ten overall points...
It's harder then it appears...especially with 2-3 hours of sleep a day and no time to tweek once it starts...
What we do to amuse ourselves :biggrin:
