Just curious, how much money have you spent on modding your NSX??? I don't have an NSX, but I have spent approximately $30K on top of my 2000 C5. It reallly is one sick addiction with no cure.

If you don't count any of those "consumables" as mods, then my answer is in three figures, for my HID headlights plus the K&N cone air filter that I installed and then reverted back to stock.nsxtasy said:Define "mod".
If there is a part that normally wears out - say brake pads or rotors or shocks, for example - and I decide to replace it with an aftermarket part instead of a stock one - then is that a mod, or not? And if I put track tires onto the car when I go to the track, and put stock tires on the rest of the time, is that a mod, or not?
Since I'm now on my 20th set of front brake pads, my 11th set of front rotors, and my 8th set of rear brake pads, your definition of "mods" will affect my answer substantially.

I guess nsxasty is out of touch with the younger generation's lingo. Lud can we create a forum for senior NSX owners? That why we won't waste forum space spelling out terminology for those that don't get it.nsxtasy said:Define "mod".
I will re-state this is very simple idea, which needs to be clarified in order to answer the question being asked.NSXROX said:I guess nsxasty is out of touch with the younger generation's lingo.

I had installed the K&N cone filter, which I assume is the "normal American market K&N". I removed it for two reasons. First, it gave no perceptible power benefit, other than a bit more of a whoosh sound. Second, and more important, the most knowledgeable NSX expert in the country said that his company had seen more engine failures caused by aftermarket air filters than by any other aftermarket mod, apparently because they allow larger/more dirt particles into the engine than stock (despite any marketing claims to the contrary).NSXDreamer2 said:Ken, which type did you installed, just the normal american-market K&N or the Gruppe M?? Why would you want to go back to stock, I always wondering how much diff that K&N Cone filter will make..( I love mine in my other cars...)
