Yep I agree about the bonnet, but I like the vent

Too bad it's not gonna work at night

the Cf-hood will look just fine coz the roof and mirrors are black.

the inlet looks a bit odd but of course it's very useful.

Hah, its true about not working at night, which is the only time I get to drive it nowadays. Itll be helpful for track use though.

Thanks for the comments. The black bonnet has proved to be a love/hate thing, but I really like it, suits the rest of the car really well IMO, so its staying.

I think the cf hood looks better....since it matches with your roof

BTW may I ask, what size of rims are u riding on?

Grez~Supra_RZ-S · Post by **Grez~Supra_RZ-S** » 17 Aug 2006, 23:02

Thanks

The wheels are 18" (Lenso Evo II), and are used primarily for street use. I found riding on 17s that the car lit up the tyres far too easily, largely thanks to the 2-way diff. It was daft for street use, so I put the 18s back on that came with the car when I bought it. However, for track use Ill still be using 17s.

Sweet ride grez, I like the choice of rims, and it's very clean.
here's my baby...

The kit's nice, but you might wanna sort out the ride height (rear particularly), space the wheels out a little so they fill the arches better, and ditch the lambo doors. They weigh a ton, and going from experiance (Well, a friends) the gas shocks in them tend to fail after a few months, even on the high-spec LSD kits.

Something about the rear and back just doesnt add up. Seems as if the rear is lower. Possibly a huge stereo system?

WhereIsTheNsx · Post by **WhereIsTheNsx** » 21 Aug 2006, 06:10

I think it might be the angle, or maybe low tire pressure, I can't afford a system at the moment, and the doors were a gift, and a booboo to put in

How big of one? ISn't it basically just removing door, then hinges, then putting new hinges and door back on?

damn whereisthensx thats one crazy ride... its very very nice... especially the lambo doors...

Is the NSX running much in the way of engine mods?

WhereIsTheNsx · Post by **WhereIsTheNsx** » 24 Aug 2006, 06:28

Nothing big, just new intake, cat back exhaust, with the standard v-tech. and racing clutch. Thinking about putting in turbo, or supercharger, but i'm not sure if the engine can handle extra pressure. I've seen alot of blown honda engines so i'm going to keep it clean. Next thing I'm gona work on is the suspension and lights, i have xenon fog lamps but stock headlights lol, if anyone has any performance info let me know any help is nice.

boganbusman · Post by **boganbusman** » 24 Aug 2006, 11:48

Why the hell would you put a racing clutch on an almost-stock engine? The car certainly doesn't need it, and it will only make it harder to take off from the lights.

You mod the engine first, and only replace the clutch when it dies.

PSZeTa · Post by **PSZeTa** » 24 Aug 2006, 16:16

Doh, you'll go faster with a racing clutch. It's RACING so yeah!?

:3

I'm surprised that nobody yelled ricer at you yet. Probably because they all like Lambo style doors. $\:D/$

Grez~Supra_RZ-S · Post by **Grez~Supra_RZ-S** » 24 Aug 2006, 21:28

My only real help is: dont go for forced induction on your car. No offence, but if you dont know whether your engine will take FI, you dont know enough to go ahead and try it. Oh, and its VTEC

oh yeah i forgot to say before, Nice 240 Grez

Cheers

I got a firend who knows a friend who knows how to upgrade honda engines, he's charging me 2500 for install and parts, pistons rods etc, should i go that route and skip turbo, I'm thinkin yea

Grez~Supra_RZ-S · Post by **Grez~Supra_RZ-S** » 25 Aug 2006, 13:33

Depends what parts he plans on installing. Theres no point in putting in pistons/rods if hes only installing cams. To be honest, unless youre having individual throttle bodys, along with a stupid shot of N20, there isnt much need to touch the internals.

Don't bother. It's always going to be slow with all that ricer crap you're packing on there anyway. Those lambo doors are ridiculous.
