Actually you're all correct,…well most of you.Depending on which 1 of the 3 different NSX's you are referring to.
(The red one) Work wheels too small, front bumper opening too round and w/cut-out looks like RX-7.
(Quantuum)Not too bad, why? Could it be the…Phase Hood, Phase frt Fenders, Phase side and Phase rear lower skirts and Phase rear spoiler. Or maybe it's just the bigger wheels.
(3rd) Okay, Okay never mind.
For those that like it, can foresee that it comes from substance, and with a little imagination, it has potential.
Andrie>"The reason the rear panel were design that way is to add more down force. Those kit are replica to the kit NSX uses in JGTC."
Did any of you guys catch that? Did you just ignore it because you didn't want to look stupid and ask. In defense it's (Japan Grand Touring Car) This is real racing obviously beyond what most of you can comprehend. Andrie is correct.These JGTC kit as designed to keep the car on the road at 100+ mph while encountering a 30mph turn and 6-8 guys on your ass.(And look so cool doing it) But, we're not racing, as Lud says,> "It is impractical to add a lot of aerodynamic downforce to a street car because drag will go way up." The Air Splitters have been removed. They've surgically reduced, re-shaped and blended the JGTC racing kit rear fenders to comply with the law and the very narrow streets of Japan. When parked, side mirrors must be folded in, wide bodies as well. So there is a lot of missing items and without them I think this kit looks funky. A+ for craftsmanship which is why some of you actually like it. This also shows that quality of work can really determine the results.
For those that hate it, the cars do look fake chunky and clunky. I too already mentioned to Andrie that it reminded me of the late70's Ford Mustang/Chevy Monza Trans-Am Racing Series. Do the words "Gambella Porsche" mean anything to you guys? Personally I think it looks kinda tacky but I say that knowing what the real JGTC is suppose to look like.
Comparativly to what some of us have seen already(Japan is 2 years ahead of us)the Comptech aka Wings West is far from what some would call aerodynamically advanced.
Merely widening the Honda beautifully styled NSX existing panels is nothing more than widening the existing panels. Styled out of Honda's own Design Studio and only able to come up with wider panels. Yeah, right. Please don't get me wrong, I have the upmost respect for Comptech, and will continue to keep the friendly relationship I have today, but really let's not insult Honda in the process.
Blade>"The Kit looks pretty sweet; however, it looks like a hybrid of other kits I have seen."
Think hard Blade.
Blade>"My fav. has always been the MOBIL 1NSX and I love the body design. I wish there was a site that was devoted to the MOBIL 1, Raybrig, or TAKATA NSX."
Take another look and compare. Those are the JGTC kits Andrie is referring too,
and yes one of my favorites also.
David,…wow those were some pretty harsh statements, coming from drag fan myself next time…I think it be best you keep that drag racing stuff to yourself. ssshhhhhh . Respectfully speaking, there not a whole of science in Drag Racing compared to the world reknowned forms of real racing. At first I was going to post my negative thoughts on the JGTC pictures but by the time I got on you had already made an ass of yourself. Thanks for absorbing most of the hits…But I was going make comments in reference to knowing what it's really like, rather than not knowing at all.
I thought the purpose of this forum is to educate and expose us to things we don't know.
Lud> What are you trying to accomplish here? What problem are you trying to solve with this upgrade? If you let us know what you're after I'm sure we can give you some suggestions.
We should be thankful that Andrie posted it. Maybe it isn't the best, but we now have something more to compare against. And to some,… will start realize that Comptech is a fraction of what is offered in the WORLD of aftermarket. By the way did anyone know that originally there was a Comptech of Japan before? (no relation to Comptech USA)
Did anyone realize that the Phase kit is/came from the original Comptech of Japan bodykit?
