That airbox plenum looks amazing Ryu. Nice job. I had an idea for a plenum if I ever went to ITBs. I was thinking the scoop area for the passenger side gets no love and was thinking this configuration would allow for the utilization of both scoops. Probably easier said than done though lol. Love...
I've slowly worked on the car over the whole year and it's basically ready to tune. I'm leaving front bumper and rear diffuser off to allow easier access to the tie down points of the car when I need to put it on the dyno and to get it on and off the tow truck to get it to the tuner. The SOS...
I forgot to share my next part of the project on prime again. Discovered issue with OS Giken clutch and this particular turbo kit that requires a work around. Details in video.

Hey guys,
I just uploaded next part of the disassembly part of the project. SD version is only available at this time but if you wait a little longer the HD and 4K version will be processed and ready for your viewing pleasure. Any feed back on improving the video is appreciated. I'm planning on...
Forgot to post I started to make my youtube video project. I unfortuneatly had bad lighting and got frusterated with the headmount cam so I think for the sake of helping others I'm goign to throw the exhaust and subframe back on so I can properly film the removal of these parts. Either way here...
Honcho Club Motorsport is definitely now my most favorite track in New England. I haven't driven Palmer yet but I hear it's very similar to Club Motorsport just less run off compared to it. I guess all that I have left to try out locally is Palmer, Lime Rock, and Canaan motor club. Apparently...
Here is a video from my track day yesterday. Club Motorsport in Tamworth, NH is awesome. Definitely want to drive here again. I'll admit I did hit quite a bit of traffic throughout the day, which did spoil some of the session with having to pit in to find a gap. Basically some drivers were not...
Honcho I am still running the GRF exhaust. Even though I'm probably loosing power I do plan on running the turbos with this exhaust because I really do like the sound these produce. I should of recorded the dyno pulls because you could hear the exhaust at full load which was awesome.
Docjohn I...
Well I went to do my baseline dyno pull at the tuners dyno so that I have a good before and after. Temperature outside was about 55-58 degrees so that is what I'll shoot for when I go in the spring. Picture of dyno plot shown below.

Here is one I posted on Facebook that I really like.

Well it's been a while but I figure for documentation reasons I'll update on what has happened so this year. I dropped off my car at Mitch's shop on late February to get the new clutch installed and to swap over to the twin spline input shaft. I asked him to replace any gears/synchros that show...
So finally after a long wait I got the parts I've waited so long to arrive. Happy to be getting closer to my end goal.
Back story is that just before figuring out that clutch was slipping I had reached out to SOS about their Twin Turbo System. I ended up going for it and put a deposit. Then...
Well I decided to take the NSX to Mitch to do the coolant system update. Had him put in the Masiv Radiator and also replace my old worn coolant expansion tank with a new one with a NSX-R cover on it. Engine bay looks a little cleaner now without the obvious white plastic blob in it. Still...
The Masiv radiator arrived last week. Very nice looking piece. Just need some more parts and then I guess I have to decide to do the work myself or just take it to Mitch.

Little update on my situation. After reading for a bit about different clutches I felt the ones with the most positive feedback from people with only complaint being the noise when clutch pedal was depressed was the OS Giken STR2C. What I mainly read about other cars using the OS Giken R2CD is...
I am considering trying to do the clutch job myself but most likely will just take it to Mitch at Mechanics Direct because I may ask him to open up the 6 speed and check the syncros and change out the input shaft to a dual spline one to give me more options for clutches. It seems most of the...
Thanks! Best color ever so I'm jealous you have an original one! To bad they never offered it in the states. You should definitely post more pictures of your car :).
Congrats. I think the only local one I know of is located in the New Hampshire area, Zanardi #19 that I posted a picture of on page 16 of this thread. But apparently the guy is super cautious with it so I doubt you'll see it at that type of event.
Well I thought it wasn't going to happen but it did. My SOS 425 Sport Hybrid Clutch has started slipping at approximately 14K miles. I was on a highway on ramp and decided to give it full throttle in 5th gear to speed up a bit a little. Engine revved up to 5K with no acceleration :(... I can...
It's a shame but considering the cracks are not huge I'm okay with it. Plus I figure I could get another lexan hatch down the road if it does get really bad. Hopefully not anytime soon.
Hi guys I finished doing the install. I got a total weight savings of 11.4lbs. Lexan Hatch with frame is 23lbs and glass hatch with frame is 34.4lbs. I guess I over tightened some of the screws on the hatch and noticed stress cracks near the holes of the lexan hatch this morning. I didn't...
