MY 92 NSX-R conversion

[rx7tonsx]

I would like to share my car with people here. People here are alsome.
I got my car from original owner all stock back in 2005 with 49K miles, now has 54K miles. This is my second NSX.
License plate is funny, I got it from the original owner. Was thinking to change it but got used to it. JUST HAVE FUN of my NSXXXX if you see...
After 4 years of owning my NSX, I have slowly convert it to NSX-R 92 spec.
All JDM lights, H emblems, H airbag.
HKS coilovers, Project U brake, prodrive GC-07(need paint them same color, front is lighter color than back.) ......
Enjoy!!!

Perhaps NA1-R? He would still need a black H centerpiece for the rear, as well as mesh for the front brake ducts, and side grilles, and a mesh engine cover, NA1-R engine plate, etc.

The car looks clean, I have always liked the prodrives, almost like a +1 OEM 7-spoke. If you are going for NA1-R, they had 16/17 7-spokes painted white, with 'nsx-r' on one of the spokes, on the NSX-R from 1994+ (before 2002 conversion).

I believe you are talking about the 02 NSX-R, NA2-R open headlights one. I am trying to convert my car to NA-1R.
I had Procar special wing on my car before, but still like simple looks of stock wing on early NSX, I personally think that NSX-R wing only looks good on 02 up car!! Thanks....

With respect i'm not sure red H badges make it a Type-R conversion! For me, even if you don't do the correct suspension or interior mods, you at least need the right wheels!

Correct. It's gonna take a lot of money to do a conversion. A lot.

You need these:

I think your car looks great. In my eyes, slightly lowered white pop-up headlight NSXs with black tops, OEM front hoods and rear wings, and 7 spoke wheels are the best looking NSXs of all.

NSX-R don't have airbag. :biggrin:

... H airbag.

 

[rx7tonsx]

Do you mind I ask you what size tire you run on your 18" 18" wheels?
Thanks!

NSX-R don't have airbag. :biggrin:

You need a better camera or a tripod because you have shaky hands :biggrin:

I'm sure it'll look good with the wheels painted.

Honestly the Prodrives look great on the car. Just have them powder coated white.

Your car looks really great, but I'm not sure what makes it an nsx-r replica other than the mesh engine cover. Some red seats and 15/16 enkeis would pull a premium before race wars :biggrin:

Car looks great! But not sure why this is called an "NSX-R conversion."

I have 225/35R18 front and 285/35R18 rear. Fronts are 225 due to the 8 inch width of the wheel. I should have ordered 7.5 inch width so I could use 215/35R18. Slight rub on full lock.

Do you mind I ask you what size tire you run on your 18" 18" wheels?
Thanks!

I guess I named my post wrong,
Originally, I was gonna do all NSX-R, so I sold my 91 black and get this 92 in white.
I had chance to get many R parts(seats, wheels...) since my business is imports used JDM parts from Japan. I passed on a set of almost new NSX-R recaro for about $4,000, really regret(money was tight that time.). since than, I never find another set other than people trying to let go for close to 10K.
I was collecting parts from NA1-R, had a set of original 92 NSX-R 15" 16" Enkei wheels before. Than regamaster EVO 16",17"
Than, I found some big brake and other parts... so I modified my car from original project.
Well, my car is not true NSX-R NA1 conversion anymore :biggrin:

Have fun :smile:
