My NSX is almost done!

[Oyagi]

I thought I'd post some pics of my NSX while the paint is still fresh.

The car is a 1992 berlina black, bone stock except for some tasteless wheels when I bought her.

Slowly through the help of Prime I have been modifying her with jdm parts. My inspiration are the guys at Top End in Japan. The culmination came last week when they officially accepted my ride as their first non-Japan member. :biggrin:

Here you go:
Here she was when I got her. First night, right off the transporter in the dead of Canadian winter covered in salt and road grime. First thing I did was drive her to the local coin op for a thorough hose down:

1.5 years, countless hours at various shops and a bag of money later:

She's gone through some transitions too. At one point the car was rocking WW skirts, and a Gruppe M CF lip (see my Mosport track photos thread somewhere here) but its been replaced with MH skirts and a Shine Auto lip. Shine's lip is perfect for those with lowered rides that need some resilience against the occasional scrape as its a hybrid frp...very similar to urethane.

Thanks for looking guys.

The car looks great, very similar to this nsx-r from advance:

Have you considered the NA1 NSX-R JDM tail lights? I think they would look fantastic on your car.

Wow, thanks for the link, great pics! I love the sueded interior...now stop giving me ideas!!!

I actually have been searching for jdm tail lights for a while now. A few's come up on Yahoo.jp but they were always out of my budget or sold too quickly. I have also played around with the idea of just using bluebat's overlays but haven't decided. I might see over the winter months (when she's off the road) whether one of the guys at Top End might want to swap tails...I know my lights might be a cool thing for them there. :smile:

Right now my next thing to do is ICE. My oem Bose is dying and I just bought Tamoske's CF door and double DIN dash kit. I admit I know nothing about electronics so I will need to do some research. No rush. I also am in desperate need of a new clutch. Body wide I have a vented seibon hood (the one with the two rows of louvres) but I really want an nsxr style single vent like in the Advance car's. I also want MH headlights!! Modding is a sickness I tells ya!:biggrin:

I have an extra JDM left and a right, I have been trying to source another NSX-R center piece (black H) to complete the set, I know Kite Garage offers the nsxr center, but they do not have any in stock, and the part cannot simply be ordered, being a type R set. I have the NSX-R center on my nsx, as I have a red/black theme... on a blacked out nsx, like your car, it would fit much better than the stock silver H.

I have the same hood as the black nsx-r, it is produced by Marga Hills... the center vent is an add-on piece:

Funny you should say that!

I have been in touch with the boys at Top End and they have authorized me to spread the TE love across North America.

If you have a highly modified NSX in the jdm flavour, PM me with pics and I'll make arrangements to add you in.
