NSteXpo 2004 Pictures

[Ojas]

In spite of a little rain, I had a great time. With the exception of Sunday’s drive, all the events went on as planned. Thanks everyone who came to Austin this weekend. Thanks Kurt and Sterling Acura for sponsoring the event.

Here are a few of my pictures. Click on a picture to see a higher-resolution version. If you’d like the full-resolution version, just ask.

BTW Z: It was very cool of you to come down Sunday! Glad you did and hope you have your NSX back on the street soon.

 

[kurt_bradley]

I look like I'm in deep thought about something confusing. Maybe just off in another world.

 

[Edwardo]

Ojas,

Those are great pictures. It looks like the turnout was very good. I only wish I could have been there .

 

[PHOEN$X]

Great photos, Ojas. Especially the night ones. Did you have to touch any up with Photochop, or did you use my method - blindly taking shots hoping some of them will turn out nice?

Looks like a great event.

 

[Ojas]

Kurt, you look a little suspicious... like you're about to swipe the Moton suspension.

PHOEN$X, Me? Photochop? Actually, other than cropping and rotating, I did not touch up any pictures. I hacked my way through the manual settings and used a long exposure on the night shots. After some trial and error, I was able to snap a few decent ones.

Ojas, NO, thank you!

Thanks to Sterling Acura, Kurt, Eric, Paul, and Ojas for putting to time and effort to organize this event. It was more than worth it to drive down just for the few hours on Sunday like I did.

Sorry that I missed out on Saturdays event and didn't get to see everyone that I was looking forward to seeing. I had been looking forward to this weekend for a long long time. But due to circumstances beyond my control, the NSX was not drivable, and I had to miss most of the event. Oh well, guess we should start planning next year!

Can't wait to go carting again, who had the fastest lap time of the day?!?!!?

Til nex Texpo!

[NetViper]

Looks like fun.

What were the dyno #'s like...

 

[Stradale]

Nice Tri-Five on the lift. Was that suppose to catch my attn before the NSX? Must be the big wing. The night shots next at the delaer are lovely, nice pics!

 

[Fastrunner]

Ojas, Thank you for posting the pictures of my car and the rest of the event for everyone to enjoy

-Z, As for the slow poke comment, that'll all change next year b/c i just finished my x'mas wishlist.

 

[NSXLuvr]

great pics guys. Too bad i missed it

btw, can you guys list your dyno #'s and your mods.

 

[chriswtx]

I did 264hp/202Torque to the wheels. Thats with a stock muffler and the mods listed below. My Tiatec was not in so I borrowed a stock unit. I hope to ad 10hp to this with the new muffler. You can see how rich it gets at 6500rpm when the Vtec kicks in. I think this is from the ristriction of the stock muffler.
