NSX-R inspired....with a twist

[HondaArrArrr]

I decided to create a thread documenting my progress....one without any women in order to avoid any heated conversations :wink:

I'm a true Honda JDM fanatic, starting from the CTR to the NSX-R...yet I also have a show side.

As a result I have created the following.....

Now; she's not complete not by any means, but is the job ever really done


Now lets get to the good stuff.....I'm sure most of you are familar with Vance aka "Mr. Type-R". Well that crazy guy went off and bought the JDM gauges for his car. What does that mean.....well I found myself in Huntington Beach on Tuesday night picking up #1 of 6 NSX-R replica gauges (in MPH) from him :biggrin: All I can say is absolutely beautiful.

Now how could I help myself staring at this at my desktop...

Below are some before/after snap shots

not a problem bro. I've been tossing the idea around of throwing the "NSX-R" stickers on the sides of the painted wing.

Maybe I do it, take some photos & get some feedback. We shall see

First let me say that car is what id call "Baller Status". Secondly, I think it would that car would be sick with the SOS CF front lip, the NSX-R wing in CF and 18/19 rims. For some reason, im not of fan of the Work rims, Im a Volk whore:biggrin: Please tell me a blower's on the way.

 

[Mugen_EP]

Please tell me a blower's on the way.

A blower better be on the way or "lil" bro is gonna be PULLING away....:biggrin: :biggrin:

Wings West front lip is by far my favorite for the NA1, but who knows. Once I'm all done; so to speak, I may end up updating the front end to '02 w/ the Cantrell front bumper. Volk's are nice, yet have a more "racer" look to them. I wanted something a little "cleaner" per say w/ a nice polished lip.

Ummmm blower...ahhh yes, that was in the forcast for early '07 BUT I just finished ordering the Brembo GT kit. :biggrin: MAN did that cost some chedda'

 

[HondaArrArrr]

Lookie lookie.....hot off the UPS truck

Time to get DIRTY :biggrin:

[94BlkNSXinNC]

I've always wanted to see thos wheels in person - because I really dislike the pics I see of them... but I can imagine them being sweet in person.

 

[my1stnsx]

Car looks great, it definitely looks amazing with the new brakes!!:smile:

 

[brucewayne]

If you dont mind how much did the bbk cost you?
Are they both 4 piston or 6 piston's?
The car looks hot.:biggrin:

I paid just under 6k for the GT 4 piston kit including e-brake.

Thanks Truan....PM sent regarding the OEMs

Thanks Chuck, I think the polished lip tend to add a little *bling* due to the reflection :biggrin:. Yes, I'll keep you guys posted as to the Comptech. I may be looking into doing some stereo upgrades first. That Kenwood 6019 looks like a very nice head unit.

Looking great. Completely change the attitude of the car. Great work!

Hey Vance. Thanks yours as well. I sure hope to see you new goodies this Thursday.

I love the wheels. Nice looking car.
