LoveFab NSX's testing at the track

Cody@LoveFab · 24 July 2008

Spent last weekend at the track testing in a variety of weather conditions. Bottom line, it was fun and we learned a lot!

Here's the documentation. Video is ours, pictures are from various members of EF-honda.com.

Drying off rear coils and swapping plugs for good measure. Do I look tired to you guys?

I'll post some more photos as they trickle in from various attendees.

Gawd that car is fast.

Simply insane how upset it gets when on the throttle...incredible! Cody do you guys have to let up on the throttle then?

Cody@LoveFab · 25 July 2008

Usually by maintaining the throttle position, the 315 series rear tires grab and finish forward propulsion. If I were to completely lift off the throttle, we'd get a 360degree panoramic view of the facility :biggrin:

At the lowest boost level, we are running around 570whp, which is all 2nd gear will lay down(marginally). I'm considering swapping out the wastegate spring so I can lower the boost level even further in 2nd gear.

3rd gear is another story. I can easily put 24psi or ~750whp to the ground(provided there is a smooth track surface), but I was nervous running that much power because we had to drive the car home from the track. I need 3rd gear to accelerate on the freeway :biggrin:

Wow Cody every time I see a video on your car I am impressed.

Is that 2 Midnight Pearls sitting next to each other? We should have a Midnight Pearl owners meet! lol

Nice action photography in photos #2 and #3!!! lots of rear wheel spray.

Cody@LoveFab · 25 July 2008

I thought I had posted this one, but apparently not. Out testing the budget kit...

NSXkkk · 25 July 2008

that's the nsx with more than 900 HP.

insane.

i guess u should go to a track event when all the ferrari, lambo, porsche are there. and kill of all of them.

Cody@LoveFab · 25 July 2008

We need a bigger track to really open her up! Top speeds on this track were around 125mph. The most power we were making at this event was between 700 and 750whp. If we would've had a guaranteed trailer ride home, I probably would've pushed the car a little harder. The 1995 spit out it's 4.55 final drive Sunday morning, forcing us to trailer that and drive the 1992 home.

The car looks like it's having trouble putting down all that power, but looks fun nonetheless. I especially liked the oversteering pass of the S2000:wink:

Is this a 3.0 or 3.2 and what transmission and LSD are you running? Also, what's next for this car?

100% factory 1992 transmission.

Yes, I got a little excited in the S2000 pass. Just goes to show you how much power the car is actually making, being able to turn 315 series rear street tires into dust at the overexilerated flick of the throttle - at just 12psi. 30psi on the street melts the tires in 4th gear very easily :biggrin:

I'm going to do some soul searching and figure out what's next for the car. I guess I can only see three options:

1.) Sell it.

2.) Dumb it down for street use. Basically add a muffler, I daily drive the car as-is anyway.

3.) Go nuts with it and cage/lighten the car to the point of hardly being streetable. I think I could lose a solid 200lbs with weight reductions, even with the cage installed.

Decisions decisions.

damn i want 700 whp!!! Sounds so badass!!!
