NSteXpo pix

[beckertb]

Guys,

It was great to get together yesterday afternoon for some karting (I mean bumper cars). I had a good time. Sorry I had to cut it short this year. Hope to see you all again soon,

Ben

Fun weekend

It was great to get together yesterday afternoon for some karting (I mean bumper cars).

Yes - bumper cars at 30+ MPH into stationary objects.

Really, it was good to see everyone again. I’m glad we had NSteXpo this year. Earlier, it looked like it would not happen, but Sam did a fanastic job (as usual) and made it happen.

Here are some of my pictures (I’ll post the rest soon):

Friday: rbirling and I headed to Houston:

Saturday: morning dyno session at Autologic:

Fastrunner’s NSX:

NSXLuvr was the first car on the dyno:

Fastrunner was next:

rbirling had a little experiment in mind. Here’s the first dyno run:

Hmm... What’s going on here?

Those shiny things on the floor are... what?

...High-flow cats! Swapping the stock cats for the high-flow version resulted in 5.2 HP and 2.8 lb-ft gains!

awsome pictures..looks like it was alot of fun!

 

[mmmvious]

Those are some great pictures! It was great to see everyone again at the dyno event, and meet some of the new additions to South-central group. I'm sorry I wasn't able to partake in the group drive on Sunday - I got called into work!

In any event, thanks again to Sam, Paul and everyone else that organized this NSteXpo - it was a great showing!

Wow, great pictures guys! I think Ojas covered most of the things, but i'll contribute some of my pictures too.

At the dyno, Fastrunner gained 22whp with only Comptech headers and exhaust:

---------
NSteXpo went very smoothly this year, thanks to Sam and Paul for organizing this event. It was great meeting new people and seeing familiar faces. Also, many thanks to the out of town NSX Owners who took their time to join us and make this event as successful as it was.

Looking forward to NSteXpo 2006! :biggrin:

My girlfriend's co-worker, who is a columnist for Houston Chornicle and http://www.mixedmetal.com/, is very interested in posting some of the NSTeXpo pictures on their web site.

This gentleman is very cool (he let my g/f sat in the Carrera GT when he had it for a few days ) and was asking my g/f "why didn't you tell me about this NSX meeting? I would've cut the San Diego test-drive trip short to make it"

Anyhow, I am just wondering whose contact should I give him just so he is authorized to do anything with our pictures?

Thanks,
Brian

 

[beckertb]

Bling,

Anybody can use any of my pictures. I can email him hi-res if he'd like.

Best regards,

Ben

 

[Wheelman]

That would be awesome, Bling. :smile:
