Nsxsupra's long journey to relive the dream

[nsxsupra]

Not sure where to start. Trying to relive and build another NSX as close to my old one as possible.

Starting with a bone stock 2003 Silverstone, as bone stock as it gets down to CD changer.

Items done so far since I got the car:
Xpel paint protection film whole car
Pride V2 exhaust
Pride High Flow Cats
Downforce AIS
Uni Filter
Shorai Lithium Ion Battery (4.8lbs)
NSXR oem shift boot
NSX type S shift knob (nsxr shift knob a bit too short for my personal preference)

Raven 4G front/back dash cam
Doosl Bluetooth FM Transmitter (rechargeable, no cables what so ever)
SOS carbon fiber interior overlay trim


Underway:
Science Of Speed 2.1L supercharger
AEM FIC


Future:
Gruppe M Carbon Intake
Downforce NSX-R carbon fiber hood
Full body gloss white vinyl wrap over Xpel PPF
NSX R chasis bar, sway bar

Weight reduction done so far:
Spare tires -29.4lbs
Spare tires mounting bracket -2.45lbs
Air compressor + Jack -9lbs
Engine Cover -25.5lbs
Windshield wiper and motors -20lbs
Windshield wiper fluid ~4lbs (extracted more than 2 large drink size)
Total Free=-98.4lbs

Exhaust 27-44= -17lbs (Pride V2, did not go Titanium mainly due to turbo is possibility)
Battery 4.8-43= -37.2lbs (Shorai Lithium Ion battery)

Pride High Flow Cats 12-22= -10lbs

nice mods! welcome back.

Thank you, never leaving NSX ever again. NSX truly is ultimate classic and emotional experience in any form.

My best friend and business partner Mike also picked a NSX (GPW).

Nice! Especially the Pride Cats!

I believe it will not be an issue, especially on OBDII cars even easier. No check engine light with Pride cats, no smell, improved the sound. Feels like it did helped throttle responds a bit and shaved around 10lbs. I am impressed with Pride products and Mark is an awesome guy.

Welcome back Jason! Your original car was the inspiration for my first NSX! I came back too after GT-R. Never ever leaving NSX again!

Welcome back. When buyers came for my previous Nsx’s that weren’t even for sale, I thought I was done and was looking forward to change. 6 months later a friend called and told me that I was meeting him for lunch and buying his nsx. There is something very special about these cars ! We look forward to seeing what you do with this one.

Tom, glad you still around. It has been I can't remember how many years ago I last saw you. Back then Simo was still around.

Welcome back! Let me know when you're ready to go out for a drive.

Absolutely!!

Science of Speed Supercharger installed

Installed by Autowave, I was very happy to see Shane, Mike, and Mark, it has been more than 10 years. The install went perfect and dyno tuned with AEM FIC. The brand new SOS kit I purchased was for 91~94, so some parts including injectors had to be sourced. Autowave made everything hassle free and Science of Speed answered countless questions even though I did not get the kit from them. SOS were also able to sell me a used comptech triangle brace that looks brand new at an amazing price. All the vendors I dealt with during the journey been nothing short of amazing (Science of Speed, Pride, SCWperformance).

Car put down 382RWHP with stock headers and Pride V2 exhaust (non FI version) and 91 octane pump gas. The power is plenty, it feels as fast as my previous 2012 Gallardo LP550-2 manual with 550 crank hp, completely stock smooth, start and idle like stock, no hiccups in terms driveability so far. Car just drives and sound so nice. I wish I had came back to NSX sooner all these years.

Car still looks completely stock from outside. Only other subtle addition are DIY black chromed the front, rear emblem, DIY painted the coolant tank, and custom cut rear Science Of Speed decal. Downforce NSXR hood is currently at shop getting prepped and paint.

SOS does not sell the supercharger kit anymore? I don't see it on their website.
