Eibachs - 1.25in drop
original oval exhaust tips replaced with quad tips, just need to paint/fit Nico's rear spats ..to finish

yes thanks, its a shame the pics don't do the car shots justice compressing down to below 100kb [to post], i tried to recompress the side shot but the resolution starts screwing up how the colour looks...
 
looks good

is correct C5s, I had them fully refurbished, as I bought these from Nico, and he had them colour changed but I wanted them returned to the original look... a purpose built wheel that suits the NSX - size, offset, weight, fitment etc and IMHO suit the NSX...they may not have the bling factor 18/19 or even 20s, but ...hey a quality rim that doesn't look that shabby even by todays std..kinda timeless ...a bit like the car itself...anyway thanks for the +ve comments
Regards

I really like your exhaust tips. This is what the ARK and Taitec guys should have done. The angle on the dual tips is perfect. What is this exhaust?

Hey David,

You can put the hi-res photos in your picture gallery and then link them to the thread and then you are not restricted to the 100kb limit. :wink:
 
Hey Mike thanks for the tip, now if everyone could go back to the beginning of this thread #1, and see the pics as they should be viewed, ... now here's one of my favourites..:smile:

Thanks again for the comments

Load yuor hi res pics into your Prime gallery, once 'processed', select the pic that you want to attach,..ie click on it to view in your gallery, open another window with thread in it and have your reply ready for attaching the link, go back to your gallery with yuor pic....scroll down to the info box under the pic ..under 'key words' is the 'UBB code' and beside it is the link..starting with img brackets and so on, copy that whole link across and paste into your thread..that should do it ..
here's another pic of mine ..testing my directions above..

yep that worked..for afficianados I'm sure there's a simpler way..but this is how I got it to work

Also on tips ..I had the ovals cut off, I originally picked straight quads but my son spotted the swept up quads, the exhaust guy offerred to fit both, but when we looked at it with the choice of straight or swept up...as the exhaust guy said as he just had both sitting on each pipe ..the straight looks sporty..the swept up looks exotic..we viewed and we agreed...it is the std exhaust......i had the opportunity to put on the Gruppe M v2 [has straight quad tips] looked awesome sounded awesome, but the v2 also maent taking off the cats..which made it real loud but wow !!, but on an auto [putting flame suit on] the AT works mainly in the 1500 - 2500 rpm range [round town and cruising] and in that rpm range there was exhaust drone there that i just couldn't live with [I tried !!] ...on a manual you would be thru that range quickly and wouldn't have been a problem...but bottom line I loved the look miss the note terribly [but not the drone] ...so we put the std back on and just changed the tips
