After 8yrs of ownership and nearly 2 decades of idolizing the NSX I realized this year that i'm nearly done with building the perfect supercar for me.  Building a Type R would have been cool but if I couldn't have a real Type R (complete with blueprinted, balanced NA motor, etc) it just wouldn't be a Type R,  Yet I wanted to stay true to what a type R really is; an exercise in balance and engineering.  I also wanted a comfortable car which some say a Type R is not.  This mantra helped me determine I wanted the lightest NSX possible but still maintain the creature comforts of a street car.  I wanted to stay under 400wHP yet build a car that is easy to drive FAST.  This goal helped me select my suspension, brakes, gear set, power adders, and maintain the overall direction of the build.  Through many trial and errors, never before built on an NSX custom parts, and countless late nights spent in the garage I think I'm finally happy.


Over the next few months i'll document the different stages of proper molestation that my NSX was subject to.  I'll try to post a portion of the build every few weeks and describe my rationale and goal for each modification.


Mission Statement:  To build a streetable and versatile supercar in which longevity, value, and quality engineering determined the proper combination of parts, whereby the parts together are more than the sum of their individual pieces.  


Spending time at the track this weekend with fellow NSX bretheren made me realize i'm almost done.  I can finally drive the piss out of this thing and not think twice until the next time it breaks :)
