Nice job!! Congratulations Gerry!

I couldn't tell the difference between the "old" and "new" hoods -- both are twin-scoop, the new one is CF ?

Was that a silver NSX with the CT widebody kit?? It looked good too -- how did IT do ??

Yes the new hood is 100% carbon fiber there is photos and more info on the pansx web site about it and the silver nsx is RJ's CT widebody. He juat had the car paint some time last week. The car was candy apple red I think that is what he called it. Rj did not show the car it was at a both.

NSX Tech,
there is no shot of RJ's NSX fron teh front, is it already with the 2002 lights?

I read this: "The car is getting beat again so I'll have to redo the paint again. I'm thinking of switching to the new NSX lights and painting it silver to match the rest of the RO_JA Acura Racing Showcase Team. Looking back at it all - it's just crazy. To think my dreams would come true so early. Just goes to show that it never hurts to dream about things that seem so far out of reach…" on his site http://www.rojawheels.com/garage/projectdetail.asp?filename=nsx

BTW, congratulations!

I have had very bad dealings with Fiber Images, so beware.

At the August 2001, Seattle Import Revolution Car Show, i won "Best Engine" sponsored by Fiber Images, and the prize for that catagory was a free carbon fiber hood. Of course with my luck, the car i won it with was my drag race integra with a fiberglass 1 piece front end. So i talked with the fiber image guys and asked if i could take one for either my AE86 corolla/toureno or for my NSX. they said they would not do the ae86 because the car is old and isnt produced anymore, but they were working on a nsx hood with vents for someone they were sponsoring. so i decided on the NSX hood. they told me that i would have to wait awhile because they were busy cranking out honda hoods and other stuff, and will have to get to it later. i figured, heck, for a free hood i'll be patient. anyways, 1 year later, they told me that i CANT have a NSX hood now, and i probably wont even get a integra hood (that i could sell to pay for the NSX hood). I've called the people from Vision Entertainment (the Hot Import Nights People) and they wont do anything, even though they said they would because Fiber Images is making them look bad by not delivering what they promised.

I'm planning at the next Hot Import Nights show, to purchase a SoS Carbon hood by then, and then pass out flyers describing the whole ordeal in detail with the names of the people that did not help me out at Fiber Images. And to recomend NOT to purchase their product. I've also stopped carrying their product at my shop, and have switched to TC Spoilers carbon fiber hoods which are of excelent quality (too bad they only to the NSX in fiberglass).

So Chris, hook a fellow up? ;-P j/k

I have heared nothing about this before and this is the first NSX they have made the hood in 100% carbon fiber and is done in the highest quality. I have seen in just about any carbon fiber. Every hood I have seen that has came from Fiber images is the best and you can see that in the photos. I'm sorry to hear that something happen to you but I know nothing about this. Now that they do have a NSX hood you might want to call and ask about it.
 
Is it just the pics or does the new hood not line up very well? It looks off. I think I liked the old hood better.. just my opinion though and it might look better in person.
 
Looks good in person have not really played with it. gaps look good and the hood is a little high in the front but we just have to ajust that we just got it this past weekend and have been really really busy with the show and other projects....... we drove 320 miles just for the car show ....
 
The hood looks terrible! Please send it to me with the turbo, the lights, the front and side skirts (hell - better send the wheels too) so I can dispose of them properly! <VBG>

Seriously one very bitchen ride and a very competitive win! You earned it / great job / beautiful car.

BTW - how in the world did you get that huge trophy home in the NSX? Anyway - it's terrible to so send it with all the other stuff - OK?

;-)
 
Gerry, I hope you brought a roof rack for the trophy. It's sooo big! Gerry was nice enough to let me drive his rippen rig and what I liked the most is the Tech-2 is dialed in so the car is very smooth thru the whole driving spectrum, by that I mean at all rpm's and power ranges. Not easy to do with a stand alone or my piggyback that I am still working on. Congrats Gerry Dan T
 
Now RJ's car looks similar to David's beast! But we all know who has the faster NSX.

Congrats Gerry, the car looks great. If you have any parts laying around please let me know, maybe I can use it.

I would love to see it in person. For me, Gerry has one of the Best NSX's I have ever seen. I personally don't like the Ctech wide body kit, so I prefer the look of Gerry's car over Davids. (no offense meant!).

I still have yet to see a spoiler on the rear that looks good from behind. Gerry's is probably one of the best I have seen so far.

Just curious Gerry, just exactly how much HP is your ride dyno'd at? Is that 500Hp at the flywheel or at the rearwheel?
RWHP. At 8 psi the car made 381 hp and 325 ft lbs of torque and at 12 psi the car made 456 hp and 381 ft lbs of torque, it ran 122 mph in the 1/4 @ 12 psi and 125.2 @ 15 psi. We will be taking the car to the dyno after we finish the next car show to do our high boost testing.
