    OEM+ '92 Berlina build (Volk Racing, Mugen, Recaro content inside)

    Finally found a NSX-R upper chassis bar on Yahoo auction (still need the lower though). The front end definitely feels tighter and more responsive, you can feel it when you get the steering loaded up in the corners.

    Followed, and the car looks great! Really digging the gold Technomagnesios.

    Had a hell of a time finding flat caps for the 16" TEs up front but turns out Amazon "brown" ones work pretty well LOL (the rears are OE Rays of course). Just make sure you buy the 65mm ones for future reference (and not 62mm like they suggest).

    Thanks Matt, sounds like a nice build coming along, do you have a build thread or an IG account for it? Would love to check out the Sakebomb BBKs too. You're right Hugo, Chris is my brother from another mother from even back in his S2000 days.

    Check out the first post, all my mods are up there. I don't have the breakdown of the weights though sorry. I would love a lightweight OEM style wing as the stocker is pretty dang heavy, I'll do some digging.

    Wow that's light, must feel awesome since 100lbs off 2750lb is a good bit better than 100lb off 3000lb. I've got most of the low hanging fruit but wouldn't mind making 26xx my long term goal, what else would you suggest?

    Finally got around to Installing the Quaife quick steering rack. I haven't had a chance to push the car to get a feel of how heavy it gets loaded up at the limit but so far so good. The steering is a bit heavier but the weighting is about perfect once rolling now (keep in mind I run baby 12lb...

    Found a good deal on a used Gruppe M carbon kevlar intake and it sounds great. Also picked up a Type R style maintenance cover, just waiting for my Type R black expansion tank cover now.

    Recently put on some DIY aluminum beams (saved 24lbs total) and a NA2R 22mm front sway bar. I didn't notice a huge difference in turn-in but the car is a little flatter and more confidence inspiring. There is no ETA on new Type R chassis bars so if anyone has a set lmk. They say variety is the...

    Thanks, I'm exactly the same way. Some of the guys get so confused when I tell them I absolutely love the 14s on the Miata lol. BTW the coilovers are the Reference series. Good point, I'm really after the sound and plan on sticking with the OEM filter for maximum filtration. Which filter did...

    Finally installed the JDM short gears/Type R R&P/LSD, Lovefab long tube headers, JDM tails and Garage Kite 02 style rear valence. Gotta say the gears are one of my favorite mods out of all the cars I've ever had. The response and top end from the headers is very noticeable as well and I really...

    I have the standard Works Bell kit and really like it, it fits perfect for both Momo and Nardi/Personal wheels. Yes do it! The ones that know, know. The grip is noticeably thicker than all the Momo's I've had for sure (Tuner, Race, Monte Carlo etc.), it feels very substantial in the hands...

    Garage Revolution headers

    Those are some big gains, Bisi makes some cool stuff for sure. I haven't dyno'ed my Urge Designs unicorn header on the S2000 but I'm a firm believer of you get what you paid for (and buy once, cry once :tongue:) I'm looking at a set on Yahoo in Japan. I lost out on a set of KSPs a few weeks...

    Garage Revolution headers

    Revolution was pretty big into NSX's back in the day before they moved to FDs (and now GT86s), but can anyone tell me anything about their headers? FWIW they claim to use an equal length design.

    Headers Headers for 91-94

    Edit: Found some Lovefabs. Looking for quality headers for my '92, would prefer KSP, Taitec, Comptech, SOS etc. Paypal goods and services, willing to pay for shipping to Canada.

    bogle's 1991 mild build thread

    I went from slight toe in, to zero toe, to the max recommended toe out and the difference in turn-in feel is very noticeable, you're going to love it.

    Huge thanks to Marc at Mita for sending me his last JDM countershaft 2nd. Words cannot describe how excited I am to put this in next month (I love the 4.77 in my AP1). Swapped out the 320mm Momo Tuner for a 330mm Personal Neo Grinta - I prefer this size and grip.

    Appreciate the kind words Honcho! Here's a little update - I've switched to a smaller and less aggressive set of 16/17 TE37s to further reduce unsprung mass and MOI. The increase in cornering limit doesn't justify the incremental laziness going from stock 15/16 -> 17/17 ->17/18 to me. Feel is...

    Need help ID'ing some headers

    Seller in Japan says they're off his NA1 but doesn't know what brand they are (he's also selling an RSR exhaust). Note that the o2 bungs are in the primaries. To me they almost look like old DC sports minus the flex joint? Can anyone confirm?
