You must have BIG balls to cut up a car like that !!! :biggrin: I must say it was worth it. I love the 1st picture it looks like a Acura brochure shot with the MDX in the background.

Is that thread the one in the for sale forum, regarding the supposed NSX-R engine/transmission?!?

Possibly NSXPrime administration looked into the matter further & discovered something.

hey, i know its a crowded thread, but any info you can give me would be a great help to me on this question. thanks!

can you tell anymore about that 'process' that you did on the rear wing? I love the idea of it being CF in the sun / light, but blacked out most of the time?

AWESOME JOB!!!
I didnt have a chance to read the whole writeup but was curious if you went with Championship white or stayed with the stock white??

Re: Conversion: '02 Targa to COUPE Type-R (56k warning)

Wow, very cool.

Please go down the N/A tuning route, F/I is just not the Type R way!

Very well done!! Amazing result

Re: Conversion: '02 Targa to COUPE Type-R (56k warning)

wow..amazing!

I would just keep the Targa and converted the rest..

just be careful now not to have a roll-over...
**I think the cutting of the roof and re-welding may affect the overall stiffness of the chasis/body...(I think it may affect the handling respond a little)

but still a great work !!

...post more nice pictures, i think many of us need some wall paper!!

I'll take some photos down in Miami, and post in high-res.

...can you tell anymore about that 'process' that you did on the rear wing? I love the idea of it being CF in the sun / light, but blacked out most of the time?

I will get a factual answer from John Schreppel — who built the car — and post on this thread.

I didnt have a chance to read the whole writeup but was curious if you went with Championship white or stayed with the stock white??

I stayed with the factory Grand Prix White (which is whiter than the Championship White). A correct respray could have added more months and thousands of dollars of expense to the project. I decided to put the money elsewhere, as in the motor.

...Please go down the N/A tuning route, F/I is just not the Type R way!

I hear you. I am strongly considering a stout NA build. I know NA won't generate enough power to pull Armando's car. But the mechanical noises it will make are what I'm after — this is a street car -- a daily driver. In the end, I'll be satisfied if I get out of the car with a smile on my face.

I had the same question for John, and he stated that the roof will be stronger, not weaker. He wasn't bragging about his workmanship, but commenting on the material characteristics of aluminum. As for handling response, I can tell you this 2002 is stiffer and handles better than any other (stock) NSX I've owned. So, its all good.

Why not go with the NSX-R 4.23 gear instead of the OS 4.4?

I think you need to put one of these in. It's the future of FI. :biggrin:
