Thought give it a try- 02 conversion

[IsR]

Quite a free day, so I installed the DF NSX-R battery undertray and front bumper undertray. Took awhile for the installer to install the front bumper undertray but its quite an easy install at the end, no misaligned mounting point.
I like it. Helps me keep the front bay clean :biggrin:

Lately I got problems with stray cats:frown: They just love resting on my cars! Preventive measure, I bought Hrant's car cover and I closed up my garage.

Snug fit. Contacted Hrant a month or so ago, very pleasant and helpful. Very good quality car cover. I also bought floor mats made by his company.
This should protect the car from potential scratched.

My thought was it will be enough but just to be sure I put doors on my garage. No fancy garage here :redface:

Problem solved :biggrin:

did they put it on a lift as well when they painted it?, I have never seen a paint job where they put the ar on a lift to paint it?

No, they didn't take out the engine and no lift as well. All the parts were wrapped and paint sprayed around the the car parts.

My 1001 posts! :biggrin:
Some more stuffs came in. Queried FGK header from a friend/local vendor, but waited way too long, no responds yet! So I got myself the Topspeed header and Prospeed HFC- I like what I see. Also NRG Quick release from Erick.
So far all vendors I've dealt with on Prime are top notch!

Header and HFC... no idea when I'm going to install them maybe after Supercar(Yus) :biggrin:

NRG from Erick. All I need is a steering wheel now (on order with local vendor- should've gotten them from Erick!)

Gorgeous car and great updates! Can't wait to see more progress!

Are you doing any of the rear diffusors/underbody trays offered by downforce in addition to the front one?

 

[starbai]

do you have a high res version of this pic? I'd am compiling a bunch of high res shots of NSXs to have printed poster size and put up in my garage/office.

 

[Jin1976]

Man those are cool mods you are adding. Now no excuse not to come for the sportcars gathering. We plan to have it end of this month. It is organised by Mr. Carzine (his brother own the white R35 GTR). Venue might be OGDC (Oil Gas Discovery Centre).

Thanks! Did thought of couple more things but not sure yet. But those red Bride seats does looks more appealing:redface:

As for rear diffusor. I'm reasonably happy with what I got now. Did thought about the fuel tank cover...

That is one cool lookin car u got there captain. I am sure it will look even more stunning in person.

Jin, any NSX / Honda meet in Dec? :smile:

[Jin1976]

Sure. That can be done.

Hi Yus! I just came back from Thailand/Singapore myself, haven't got the chance to install the HFC. Maybe this coming weeks. Are you back already?
A meet would be good... Maybe I can give your HFC before that.

 

[Alleykat]

Car looks GREAT!!!

 

[Prospeed]

Car looks great and those Prospeed HFC look awesome too! Thanks for your patience guys! Can't wait to get your feedback on them for your setup. I have a feeling you will love the new sound and loss of weight to your car!

 

[Supercar]

Hello Captain,

You were in Singapore? When? We could've hanged out here.

Anyway, I will only be back in December... See you then...

Items installed

Sent my car to a friend garage to install the TopSpeed header, Prospeed HFC and SOS baffled oil pan. The car was dynoed before and after.
I got the Prospeed stage 3 on a spare ECU as well thought I give it a try as I apparently got a Spoon ECU already on the car! After the dyno both ECUs were giving similar power, with Prospeed having a more consistence mid range. But the Spoon ECU seem to have better idle. I'm guess it's the difference in our fuel octane value which give the Prospeed's ECU less stable of an idle. The garage's tuner recommended the Spoon at the end purely based on the idle. Guess I got a spare chipped ECU then.

Headers were wrapped with SARD ceramic fiber shield.

TopSpeed Header installed together with SOS oil pan

Prospeed HFC installed

The car was dynoed after and with the Spoon's, then with Prospeed.

What was noticeable was the exhaust note differs, more 'grunt'. I haven't driven the car as the car is still at the garage, picking it up today evening. As the owner of the garage said, sound similar his exhaust and he is likes the idea of the header. He got himself a Titanium GT One Ver 5.1 .

Anyway Yus are you back already?

3 NSXs

I left the car there throughout the weekend. At last finally met Jin1976 :biggrin: that's I guess after 4 years. He is the first NSX here to do the 02+ conversion and using mostly Honda OEM part and I believe some GT-ROM items as well. Sporting HKS exhaust. Best part he know where to get NSX part locally pretty quick... Thanks again Jin for the help :wink:
The other white NSX is the garage owner's.He is not on this forum. He did the NSX R-GT rear kit from Kawagen(think he got it through GT-ROM), he left out the RGT front. Titanium GT One Ver 5.1 - incredible sound. And lots other goodies in and around the car. He just completed his conversion quite recently. The man to approach for Japanese aftermarket parts.

Finally, got to see IsR's car in person. Just as I thought, it looks even more stunning in person!!! Congrats bro.... my cousin (and me, together with others present at the 'bertunang' ceremony) can't stop talking about your car. I should've brought my camera that day.

Anyway, thanks for the PS HFC. I think I'll install them over the weekend.
