NIce pictures..I was wondering the yellow NSX third picture from the top. What wheels are those? thanks
 
How does that nsx with the intercooler get any air on it? I don't see any vent. Seems like a waste without any air being directing over it.

I was thinking the same thing. Perhaps adding the snorkel helps??

can someone explain how an AIR-TO-AIR intercooler works here? the ambient temp in the engine bay is hot and that isn't gonna help the air temps decrease- it does help to dissipate the heat but not really "cool"

wouldn't a WATER-to air be better???????

sorry...you got me, I don't have an answer for you, but the car is not done yet. It seem to be "under construction" when I was taking pics of it. Besides..does it matter? It's not your car right, so who cares..? Enjoy the pics, try not to over anyalize things to much. It just shows people how much you don't have a life.

I was there and the car was a defnite work in progress. However I am curious what the end result would look like because the snorkel kits and hatches I have seen so far seem a little on the small side. Is there a hatch kit out there I haven't seen with a wider vent or snorkel to properly help vent an intercooler this size? Or do those snorkels hatches have a diffuser of some kind under the hatch to distribute the air flow more evenly across an intercooler this size? Just wondering as I am not familiar with the snorkel hatches and it seems like it would send air to just the center of this intercooler, where as a wider one would seem to distribute the air more evenly for more efficient cooling? :confused: No I am not a car mechanical geek by any shadow of a doubt, so no flames if my ponderings seem noobish. hehe Ok I am thinking too hard now...I better get back to work. :biggrin:
 
Paul,

Looks like his toe's about to open the door....:tongue:

WTF? LOL!! :eek: :biggrin: The toe at the bottom makes you do a double take if that particular car is a model or a real car with the photographer on a ladder or balcony above it.
 
Hac, you know what your problem is? You keep forgetting that you're in HAWAII!!! Go have fun!!! :D :D :D

alright alright..no more BS cyber fighthing. We are a small community and we should all get along. I have to say, everyone i've meet so far in the community has been great and has become really good friends.

Speakers are yours at a cost of $0. I will drop it off at MV for you once I'm back.
 
Hey, thanks Hac. :)

Now, would you please stop logging on to Prime and go enjoy your vacation? I know that you miss me and all that, but I'll be here when you get back. ;) :D

hehehe, I know it's hard. I'm a prime addict as many of us are. Been here in Oahu for a like 3 days now and have not spotted 1 single nsx yet. I know there is a nice handful out here, but I guess due to the occassional rain that keeps on coming and going away...I would store my nsx in the garage too.

Lifestyle here is just so laid-back. Everyone is extremely nice..maybe I need to extend my stay so I can lower my blood presure and for you single guys...the island is nice, but the foreign tourist is much much nicers. I strain my eyes and neck constantly doing a second take. I'm just amazed how they can walk so much with them 4" heels.
