Experience: 6 NSX track days spread over 16 years of ownership, a few NSX autocrosses (finished 3rd at my first), 2 track days in 125cc shifter karts, hundreds of hours playing Gran Turismo (all versions)
Background:
Despite initially saying I would never track my 2000 NSX-T, autocross and spirited drives convinced me to eventually do so. Three years after purchasing mine new, I attended the two day HPDE for NSXPO 2003 at Infineon Raceway in Sonoma, CA...

PERFORMANCE MODIFICATIONS (nearly Stock with the following exceptions):
Science of Speed Adjustable Anti Sway Bars
Cobalt Racing Brake Pads (not sure which model)
Pole2Flag Racing SS Brake Lines (installed after my last track day)
Tires:

Safety Equipment:

Miscellaneous:

Mods That I'm Contemplating:
We'll see how she does next time I track her...had some issues with brakes that I hope the SS brake lines resolve and had some overheating issues at NSXPO 2015
