yoojeankim's "You're my boy BLUE!" build

Well ill just basically C&P my intro since it helps start out my build..

Sold off my first nsx 6 years ago.. never did a day go by when i didn't think about buying another. During those 6 years i thought i would give the japanese trio a try and also the new Godzilla. Each of these cars i would say have their pros and cons but i would always compare them to the nsx. I was one of the first guinea pigs with the AP-X turbo kits and i never can forget that JET like sound i would get when vtec + turbo would kick in from the mid engine, i was hooked. I searched and kept randomly posting for NSXs throughout the years but the timing was just never right.

Finally i got a glorious message through my inbox from Tim (jorligan) he asked if i may have some interest in a beautiful Monte Carlo Blue / Lovefab built nsx... it was almost too good to be true. The top color i wanted with that beautiful turbo setup and the longevity of a built motor. After looking at all of Jorligans threads i knew this man was just like me, he always wanted everything perfect. We went back and forth with small messages for quite awhile since Tim really wanted to make sure the car was top notch and also he was heading to NSXPO. I was in no rush as i've been waiting for this car for a long time!

Yesterday Tim called me and said he would be driving through Colorado to drop off the NSX!! :biggrin::biggrin:

Here are some pics of the rx7, supra, GTR(still have)

some small updates

I've always been a fan of the Type-R spoiler especially when the Type-R hood is on, during that time i was looking at old member threads/pictures and remember my buddy oscar_driver. There was a time when i was just craving back to get into a NSX and i saw what oscar did to his rear... and that made me go after the CF hood trunk lid

before:

heres a pic with just the spoiler and not the trunk lid:

also before all this happened i had to get my boy to detail this thing, i use to detail for a living and a lot of posts on autopia so after seeing the actual paint condition i knew how much crazier this thing would look

Congratulations! Tims car is a fantastic example of a MCB and he is a great guy. He was very generous in letting me passenger for him during NSXPO 2014. And yes that is a cool trailer!

Man... your rx7... how much did you sell that for again?

i finally bit the bullet and got me some ARC LED tails. i really like the 02 tails i feel like it makes the rear a bit more modern? pictures don't do justice! i was really in between 3 bar/ full bar/ jgtc but since you can do jgtc and full bar combo i thought id do that since full was close to the 3 bar look.

If you need a bigger garage to store all these beautiful Japanese cars, I have 3 bays.:biggrin:
 
wow. epic garage.

Your RX7 though. one of the cleanest well done examples I have ever seen. Makes me want one so badly but there's no space in my garage.

hey! im actually just loving the stock part of the LBBP honestly :)

a little update finally got my lift in my garage but i dropped off my monte for some major cleanup... the wires in the interior were a joke and the way things were handled in the car was no where near my standards. I decided im going to re-do all the whole car all at the same time. Re-do all the interior with new carpet from Tfent, Take out all the clutter and get a gaugeart/navpod system and more to come :)

Garage is looking sweet. How high is your ceiling?

That looks like a mess inside the monte. Glad you are getting the monte straightened out, and glad the LBBP showed up in one piece.
