Hey Guys,
My name is Amir and I recently picked up a new NSX Project. Some of you may know of a few of my other projects that have been here on StanceWorks.
First is my 911 that was the first real passion project.
I also own and drive the StanceWorks e36 M3 Time Attack car that is currently undergoing some major updates.
And my last project was my (supposed to be) daily driver RSX.
A close friend had an NSX that had been sitting for a year while he worked on another project. We were at dinner one night, I asked him if he ever considered selling it, and a month later I was fortunate enough to obtain one of my dream cars. I partnered up with Nemos Garage for the build and have been working to get it up to speed for the last few months.
The M3 was my dual duty car that was reliable, fun to drive, fast on track, and comfortable on the street. However now we're moving up a class and the car will become a little extreme to drive outside of competition. The goal for the NSX is to build a reliable track car with a full interior, and become an all around good track and street car.
This is how the car looked the day I picked up.
Since then I've been working on cutting weight, getting the suspension ready, and adding a bit of power.
First things first, the Anhelos needed to go. The natural choice for wheels was a set TE37's.
At the same time I swapped out the B Pillar covers for some carbon pieces from Japan. The paint was starting to flake off of the originals, so I took the opportunity to cut some weight.
The original weighed a little over 2lbs each
The carbon B Pillar covers weighed under half a pound. I may go back and make my own B Pillar covers since the fitment on these isn't the best, and I prefer the look of twill over plain weave carbon.
A couple weeks later I addressed the power department. The exhaust system on the NSX seems be quite the restriction, that was where I started. I added Prospeed test pipes, and a temporary ARK exhaust to the Pride headers that were installed in the car.
Once the exhaust was addressed, the next mod on the to do list was the Prospeed RDX injector kit and tune.
I was blown away by how big of a difference the RDX Injector made to the car. The midrange torque, overall power, and driveability all improved.
