Updates on the 91 NSX

Post by Chase_acura » Fri Jun 19, 2020 12:52 pm

When I first got this car 4 years ago it was mess of an abandoned track project.
Today she is officially paid off.
I learned a lot more about Honda from this car and I've always enjoyed building cars from the ground.
01-0442 is a perfect example. She is still with me sitting in storage btw

Over recent weeks I made some changes.
Navigation install since I enjoy this car on road trips
Rebuilt motons and corner balanced
02+ Front conversion.
Side note I prefer the pop ups but he advantage is better lighting output, and weight loss.
Carbon aero mirrors and more wasted carbon in the engine bay. :moneyburn:

Fun updates Chase. This has been a fun project, similar to #010442, to watch you work on. That new front hood is fancy, I like it. :beer:

Whoa, so the pop-up lights have better output and weigh less? I wouldn't have guessed that.

Thanks Ryan it is actually modeled after the GT2 LeMans NSX's
They do have optional fins.
It does need to be refinished, the clear coat is shot but is a rarer unique hood vs the typical NSX-R style.
It is also noticeably lighter than the hood I did have.
