I took the first picture the day after I got my NSX in November of 2001. The second picture was taken last weekend. Day and Night difference!

Nice! I want a white NSX so bad. Black is too hard to keep clean ;[ -- the white with black roof that is.

Mark,
When I got my car the lower bumper had been scratched pretty bad from the previous owner so I installed a new one. I was just that anal. So yes I had the lower part painted that way! I think it looks so much better too
I have a smartenna, but was listening to the broadcast at the Track when the picture was taken! The RM Lip looks awsome on my car, I've got to order a new one though. My last one survived my first AutoX and then 3 weeks later I had a "track off" at Talladega and it broke into pieces. I learned my lesson about track days in the rain. :wink:AH, TRACK broadcast - mystery solved.
I thought you must have had a smartenna, but then the only way it would up is if you were listening to the radio. I've been to Talladega, so I KNEW that wasn't the case.
That is a hell of a good idea on the painting, I might have to check that out. Honestly, its been so long since I've seen the car that I forget which way it is currently.
EDIT, I am NOT crazy (or admitting it in this thread)! I checked some pics, and mine is black the same way yours is in pic #2. I am 99% sure it is OEM too. Weird.

what mods do you have to run that fast? pretty impressive.
I would imagine headers, exhaust, intake and gears. What else? (or is that maybe it)?

Last weigh in was 2880lbs without a driver with a 1/2 Tank of gas. The Stock Curb Weight is 3164lbs.
that some pretty serious diet! Care to share which parts she lost? :biggrin:

Thanks Man! :biggrin:
If you read up a couple of replies, he already listed the current weight of his NSX after all the weight reduction.nsxsupra said:

Just get both black and white....best of both worlds.
wow.. i think i'm the same way...
when I got my car it was a little sad.. silver car with yellow brake calipers and some really ugly stickers in the cabin of the car..
now it's a track rat just like you...
although the scca sticker on the side of yours makes me wonder.. being anal about your car aren't you a little timid of a little 'bump n grind'?

The only thing my NSX hits is ORANGE CONES when I AutoX with the SCCA here in Alabama
The cone juice washes right off with a bit of elbow grease and the scuffs buff right out! When I do track events they are always well organized and very safe with "passing zones" so the 'bump n grind' has yet to happen. I hope it never does! :biggrin:

That actuallly was a SCCA Event at The Talladega Grand Prix Track. I can't enter Solo1 Events due to no roll cage, but I did work the race both days and actually got more track time than the people that entered the event! You just have to know how to work the angles sometimes.:biggrin: The best part...I got free lunch, some beers after and didn't pay a dime! I love that program
Do you know the weight and off set of your CE28N? They look great!
I am about to pull the trigger and order a set of CE28N or LE28N, I am leaning towards 16/17 set up for maximum weight saving. is it a over kill? what is your opinion on 16/17 vs 17/17?
I think I will be much more happier with 17/17 as they look so much better.
Thanks in advance

The fronts are 17 x 8 with 235's and the rears are 17 x 9.5 with 265's. I think the offsets are 38mm in the front and 40mm in the rear, but I'm not positive. I can't read the stickers on the inside of the wheels right now due to all the brake dust! The fronts are the "high pad" as MJ calls them so they will clear larger brake rotors. I went with the 17's in the front and rear for the weight and the fact that I can go with a BBK later. The fronts weigh 15lbs and the rears are 15.5lbs.

Thank You! :biggrin: What all have you done to drop the weight on your NSX? Maybe I missed something!
