HONDA R&D Team at NSXPO 2024 TEXAS

[Ignition_Key]

NSXPO 2024 was an absolute blast—arguably one of the best events yet! It was only my second NSXPO, but everything about it felt spot-on. One of the standout moments was having Honda R&D team members fly in all the way from Japan to attend the event in Texas. They even solicited feedback from enthusiasts about the next NSX, which generated a ton of excitement among attendees from across the U.S.



For me, the highlight of NSXPO was an unforgettable hot lap at G2 Motorsports Park with Honda's Chief Engineer and Large Project Leader, Hideki Kakinuma — the mastermind behind the Civic Type R. He drove my modified NSX Type S, equipped with upgrades like Pure900 turbos, Redstar exhaust with downpipes, C&R intercoolers and Pride's reinforced Intercooler hoses.

Check out the video of his incredible driving skills...

Here are his driving impressions on the Pure900 NSX TYPE S..

Enjoyed this, and the look-see of the G2 Mtrsprts Pk track.

Attended NSXPO TX, wish we had met.

Oh yeah that one was far from stock, was gutted out and a full track car.

Nice to see PD in the saddle. I'll never forget the thrill of having him drive my 96 at RA his home track.So smooth and machine like with his foot work and shift points...
