    For those of you who have ducted hoods...

    +1 on a well made hood & duct ... at least for pop up head lights. IMHO the most effective hoods out there are based on vent size and location in relative order: Realtime Racing (aka LeMans NSX) not for street vehicles Marga Hills (aka VIS NSX Super GT), if made to cover the LHD ABS system...

    NSX Urethane Suspension Bushing Kit in Development

    +1 on looking forward to this. If Dee Engineering has the resources, perhaps they can also cast some urethane engine mount inserts, too?

    Advice on Ducted hood or not?

    For pop up headlights and a stock radiator, the largest vented hood I know of is a Marga Hills ducted hood, or the copy VIS made. Draw back is they are set up for RHD and will have an interference with the ABS system of LHD cars. Otherwise, if you can find a copy of the RTR hood and are willing...

    Does any still make front aluminum bumper beam?

    If anything, I'd probably be interested in seeing if a dual material would be viable or even save weight. For example: backing plate of 1/8" or 1/4" steel connecting the chassis bars then a box section of 1/8" wall thickness aluminum rectangular tube in front of it be enough? Or an aluminum...

    Does any still make front aluminum bumper beam?

    Rudimentary rule of thumb of steel vs aluminum: aluminum is 1/2 the strength @ 1/3 the weight.... So a properly engineered aluminum part would roughly weigh 1/3 less than a steel one, if aluminum is a suitable material for the application. Curious why Honda never tooled up to make an aluminum...

    best road driving tire set up?

    Keeping the OP's target of not wanting "to alter the car in any other way, besides a nice looking set of wheels and a great riding set of tires", with emphasis on "great riding", IMHO, finding a set of wheels to use as close as the 15/16" OEM set up as possible would be the way to go. If I had...

    The proper style helmet for track use

    Without getting into too many details about testing standards, the SA ratings were developed to be more appropriate for motorsport use. This includes differences between standards regarding eyeport size, conditioning, impact energies, test anvil selection and test criteria in addition to the...

    ScienceofSpeed Individual Throttle Body (ITB) System & RDX Injectors

    Now this has piqued my interest... Curious to see what the gains are with the RDX injectors are with the ITBs on a 3.0L engine. Besides an AEM EMS needed to run the ITBs (or just RDX injectors alone), is the stock NSX fuel pump able to keep up as it seems the RDX injectors run best at about 55psi?

    Why is there so much wood for a Zanardi? It's really nothing special

    Ditto on the wheels here: I like them...just can't afford to play.
