The story starts a year and a half ago when i purchsed my 2000 silverstone NSX-T with 24k miles and 100% pure stock. Here is a picture story of the past year.
1) Suspension - After much research I chose to buy and install the H&R Cup Suspension coilover kit giving the car 1.7" drop in the front and 1.6" drop in the rear.
Before
After
2) Wheel & Tires - Volk Gunmetal SF-Challenges 18x8 front and 19x9.5 rear with Bridgstone Potenza RE750 275 in rear and 215 in front (No rubbing)
3) Downforce Intake scoop and unifilter - Dyno 5.9 rwhp (per SOS)
4) Exhaust - Custom stainless steel Magnaflow with Corsa tips. Weight reduction of 8 pounds and 6.4rwhp increase on a dynodynamic dyno. ($475)
5) SOS Headers - I made the mistake of dynoing the car after headers AND new rims, which net a 10rwhp loss. I can only figure that the headers gave me ~0-5rwhp and i lost ~10-15 rwhp b/c of the larger heavier rims. I wish i had dynoed with the old rims for comparison. I feel the headers made minimal difference on my car. Slightly louder at WOT and only 3.5 pounds of weight savings. My OEM headers are now for sale.
6) Interior - Momo Millenium 350mm steering wheel with SOS Rapid hub adapter and sparco buttons to retain cruise control function. ~10 pound weight reduction. Also Chrome cluster rings for accent.
7) HID headlights from whiteNSX and LED parking lights, interior lights, and license plate lights

- Custom twin turbo (still debating)
