One badass machine,
Yes, had a chance to get a ride in Sinbad's car yesterday at NSX modified. His car is absolutely amazing!! These are just a few mods on his car....this guy is an absolute NSX fanatic, someone stop him?!?
Rebuild NSX motor:
JE forged Pistons (low compression), decked block, and o-ringed...not sure if he changed the rods though.
Weight Reduction: Removed his head unit from before (amp, sub, dvd player), sound system, air-conditioning/heater, recaro carbon fiber seats, and some TE37s.
Exhaust/Diffuser: Sinbad uses a Ferrari 355 Challenge exhaust. He also made his own rear diffuser from HONEYCOMB, it looks very similar to the taitec diffuser but just 10X better.
Comptech Supercharger: Yes, it is the 9lb one.
Imperssion: Started the car, and Sinbad gave a few quick revs. This exhaust is LOUD!!! Yes, I have heard GruppeM and Tubi, but nothing compared to this exhaust. Could bearly hear the words from Sinbad's mouth....drove the car to a local street (11:00pm at night) and he floored it. Saw the speedometer and was at 100 mph in a matter of seconds!!! This car has amazing torque and power. Very comparable to my car when it was boosting at 9-10 pounds initally. The exhuast lets out this high pitched tune at around 7000 rpm, and sorry, I could not describe how great the feeling was. Sinbad gave me a little smirk and said,
" Hey boy, it's not over yet!"
He made a sharp right turn at at speed of 50+! The car handled like a champ. Also made a couple of additional turns, and he hits the gas before correcting the steering wheel. Yes, I almost crapped in my pants, and luckly we're alive.
Conclusion: Sinbad wants to to do more weight reduction in the future. He was thinking about removing the ABS, but Larry strongly refused it.
What really suprised me was that Sinbad later told us that he decided to put Larry's turbo back in, and is probably going to run 10-12 pounds ballpark. Guess he missd his turbo too much???
