I never thought I would go back to NA after all these years with my LoveFab turbocharged NSX.
The main use of the car was to attend Track Day meetings in France, Belgium and Germany with the Swiss NSX sport cars club.
These were really great days with a friendly atmosphere largely brought by the late President Jean Claude Zucker.
Hélas, no one took over the responsibility of running the club any longer and I found myself having to attend mixed manufacturer Track Days with a wide variety of rider skills.
On my last outing, I had a guy running a full racing M3 with an M5 engine run into my right door trying to mimic Max Verstappen's suicide pass on Lewis Hamilton.
This triggered my decision, although other factors came into account such as the inherent NSX design fault of the ventilation of the rear cam cover that will spill out a lot of oil in any hard right hand corner or the fact that the NSX is too valuable a car to take it on track.
So given that 400 whp is not really usable on the street and that in any case this modification is illegal in Europe, I decided to call it quits.
Oh and I almost forgot, it will be a real pleasure to drive a car that doesn't smell anymore!
As I stupidly had sold my original Mugen exhaust system, I decided to go with an OEM NA2 exhaust.
I was lucky to find good second hand items here and there (except the cats from SoS) and I'm now in the process of getting them on the car.
