the car looks so much cooler with the top black!!!!
Heh - I can't wait to drive the finished car! With only 350 miles on it when we turned it over to Joe's capable hands, the 5 hour drive back from his shop will allow me to finally get to around 500 miles and open it up and see what the supercharger is like with the new headers/exhaust/weight reduction setup. With any luck, we'll just happen to find a few long, curved roads on the drive home.

What a project Ryan. We all can't wait to see it finished.

Just wondering why your spending the $$$$ for the headers on an 02+ NSX? Ive heard it only adds a couple of horsepower
By the way your car looks sick! :wink:

'Cause every little bit is worth it!
Based on their own dynos, I think it's worth 10-15 hp; the sound is more distinct and the headers did weigh a bit less the OEM manifolds.
Evidently all the NSX-R chasis bars got installed today; not sure about the suspension. Joe was prepping to paint the OEM headlamps when I called to give him an updated ETA on the taillamps.

I had never seen gains like that before
Ive your driving home thru NJ let me know, Id love to see that beast. Any dyno time planned?No dyno time planned at this point - that's the thing that sucks about living in Delaware. There are some over in the NoVa/MD/DC area, but the trip sucks and I'm usually too busy to go.
Will let you know on the trip - we're planning on driving up Friday, stopping to outfit our new building and visit one of our suppliers before crashing for the night in Poughkeepsie. After meeting Joe the next AM, the wife and I will drive back in separate cars - she's called first dibs on the NSX.

Awesome project man. We are all envious.
Awesome conversion. Am I dreaming? Somebody please pinch me. :biggrin:
Ryan,
Unbelievable project, I have been gazing at it from afar since the beginning. I am amazed how fast this is all coming together, relatively speaking, just shows when you get everything lined up before hand, how the project takes on a life of its own. I am wonder how this aspect of the project is going My NSX-R Gauge Project Prototype If and when you finish it every think about selling Gauges or selling the template to someone like SoS for production? I think there would be a lot of interest in something like that, meaning me :biggrin:
