bump for some good progress
Thanks.....:smile: I have some updating to do on this tread.
Nice Avatar.....would you like help as to increasing that chedda?!?:biggrin:
Well, picked up my car from Autowave last Thursday. Clutch install went great and was much needed. I have to say the folks at Autowave are awesome....special thanks to Shane, Ron and Mark for all your help. It's not offen I turn my cars over to someone else to work on, but I don't mess with trannies :redface:
Anyways Autowave provided me with their very own developed clutch manufactured by RH Engineering. The clutch is 20 lbs. lighter than stock, capable of 400 lbs. of torque (for those Supercharged guys) and has a "factory" feel at the pedal (great for daily drivers like myself :wink: )
Now, I'm still in the break in period yet I'd like to report I notice the engine spools up much quicker and boy does it grab! :biggrin:
Oh by the way I decided to throw her on the dyno before the South Coast Acura meet as I wanted to get a quick baseline before the arrival of some Cantrell headers......
Dyno'ed with TAITEC GT Lightweight Exhaust & comptech air filter.
.....not bad......but more to come.

Yes, sir :smile:
Well, I picked up my seats yesterday :biggrin:
Just couldn't wait to open the box and take some quick snap-shots
So I decided to put them in......only one problem, the driver's side rail is on back order under mid March. :frown: Oh well, looks like my passenger's will get to enjoy them before I do.

looks nice... but i wouldnt run the RED seats until driver side comes in... its wierd... passenger, but no driver....
true.....drove Vanessa today and weird it is, but it will only be for a couple weeks and besides the job is half done :biggrin:
you dont' want to be driving Vanessa half done... :tongue: but the car WILL look great :biggrin:
awesome...i love the combo red&yellow
lol yea, normally it's the opposite...only driver but not passenger... but then again i remember the feeling of getting my seats in so it's definitely understandable!
car's coming along great!
From a distance and a quick glance, people will mistaken your car for a right hand drive NSX-R. 
:wink:

haha very funny guys :wink: just you wait until my other rail comes in. :tongue:
Oh BTW I just finished wrapping the door panels and visors in the Bride material....I'll try to post pics later tonight
Bride material installed....
I have alwyas wondered where one purchase bride material at?
i know that you could orignally source the materials from BRIDE usa.... but jose, where'd you get yours? and who did your interior work?
wow it came out very clean/nice looking. looks great!
The North American distributor for Bride is Tees-USA http://www.tees-usa.com/ they can connect you with a local retailer.
I purchased mine through Bulletproof Automotive (best price I could find), then merely picked up the merchandise at Tees (located in Torrance).
Talk to Revo at http://www.stitchcraftinteriors.com/ they are in Westminister. Great work, fair price and quick turn-around.
Oh forgot to mention....Revo said he to could get the Bride material. It typically is sold in 100cmX155cm pieces. He's currently working on a 300Z completely wrapped in black Bride gradiation....nice
thanks :biggrin:
cool... i'm debating to wrap the interior pieces in that black/charcoal suede or alcantara material with red stitch... i saw it on a few NSX's and looks nice...
got any links to them? I'd like to see....
