Too Funny!
You can't pay for thinks kind of bantering fun!
I'm just wondering how Kip feels about finally loosing his title? (Fastest NSX that could be registered and driven on the street). Hmmmm . . . . .
So it looks like you are really trying to get this done for xpo
can we put those padels system on a street car?
whats the advantage on these?
That looks like a great setup for some dancing on the pedals. Is he going to use any left foot braking?
Can't wait to see some jaw-dropping racing next year.
Yeah, Brian's got no right coming on here and abusing you. That's my job !! :tongue:As far as B.Butts post goes. He has'nt graced us with his almighty presence in so long that his cockyness could not be left unchallenged.
You forgot to mention the loss of a brake booster when going to a pedal assembly like this, GREATLY increasing the pedal pressure -which wouldn't be convenient for most. Not to mention losing about 4-6" of leg room where if you're a tall person, it might not be feasible, and also requiring steering spacers to get the wheel closer to the driver who is now sitting further back.You probobly can but they are strictly for race applications as far as I am concerned. They are a whole different beast compared to the stock setup. I would keep your stock setup unless you happen to get to close and catch the go fast addiction like me. Seriously though, they offer better feel, spacing for this setup. Thanks for looking, Kip

I look forward to it, it has always been a pleasure driving with you. You guys are building a very nice car and I look forward to checking it out in person. Keep up the good work!Hi Billy, Sorry to leave out all of those MINOR details but this post alone took 30 minutes the way I type. I look forward to playing chase with you again in the future. (yes, I mean me TRYING to chase you) Kip
Brian Butts, What are you thinking making a statement like that knowing me as well as you do??? If I beat you driving your car while you are in mine do I get to keep the title (you gave me)??:smile::smile::biggrin:
1UFO 2C, your car looks sick... can i have a bigger pic?
Looking forward to meet you all at my home track.
Hi Everyone,
I thought I would post some info about the new race car we are building in house for Kip Olson. We started with his very clean and low miles 1991 NSX (Sorry Brandon, Yes we did use his car). It took about 40 hours to strip the car down to bare chassis. Another 20 plus hours to remove all of the unneeded chassis sheet metal (trunk, dash, etc.) Then it took about 5 days at the paint stripper to get all of the under coating and most of the seal sealer off. When we started to do the roll cage the chassis weighed only 374 lbs. My personal goal it to get this NSX as close to 2200 lbs (without driver or fuel) as we can. Here are some pictures of the progress and I will post some more of the construction. Cheers, Shad
Update,
Well we just sent the chassis off to get it painted. The total chassis weight after all of the fabrication work was 551 lbs. an increase of 177 lbs. We wanted to keep it under 200 lbs. Hopefully next week we will start to assemble everything and get it on track by the first of next month. Cheers, Shad
