Hello Everyone,
I've been debating whether or not to post this yet, but figured "hey, why not". I purchased my car "sight-unseen" in July of 2013 with right at 21k on the odometer. The car was delivered in late July.
I arrived home in the second week of August to look at the car for the first time. I had never seen LBBP in person before, the blue was almost electric and fit the car really well. When I purchased the car, it was described as flawless; however, when I got home I found several deep scratches...more on that later. Took the car to the local Acura Dealer and had the Timing Belt, Water Pump, Tensioner, and a few other things taken care of. The car came with the SOS Audiophile Stage 2 Sound System, KW version 3s, and Volk GT-Vs (18/19) setup.
As this was my second NSX (first was a 2004 Rio Yellow w/black interior that I purchased from Mike a.k.a. The Kid...Thanks Mike!), I had decided already that I would modify this one as I left my previous car stock. Determined to go further with this NSX, this build begins...
The car will be built in three stages:
1: Entire Exterior
2. Performance/Engine
3. Interior
Stage 1 is already in process; I ordered a Route-KS Madonna Kit. My importer should have the kit within the next week, then shipped CONUS. I've also ordered a set of Gruppe M NSX Aero Mirrors from Mark @ Dali. Those should be shipped from Japan on Monday going CONUS (Thanks Mark!).
The following parts will be ordered shortly:
1. Downforce NSX-R Hood (Carbon)
2. Downforce NSX-R Hood Duct
3. Downforce NSX-R Spoiler (Carbon)
4. Downforce Rear Window Garnish (Carbon)
5. StopTech 4 Wheel BBK
6. Rims and Tires (Still trying to decide between the Work Meister S1s or the BC HB05)
Other components of this stage include:
1. LED Tail Lights
2. Trunk Lid (Carbon)
3. Trunk Lip (Carbon)
4. Custom Rear Diffusor (Carbon)
5. Custom Front Diffuser/Under tray (Carbon)
6. Suspension Lift System (Because my drive way sucks!)
The most exciting part besides building the car, is that I found someone I can trust, know will do it right, and who is turning out to be quite a good friend. This is especially important for me as I am presently in Afghanistan and will not be home again until August some time. This build will include a few surprises along the way to keep things interesting.
Stay tuned....
