Don't think that's the car in the link, can you guys not see it in the video links above?

This car is white with wide arch conversion.

Maybe owned by someone who has frequented the forum as I believe those Ayrton Senna decals were produced by a forum member a few years back?

I'm not a Police man but Markymark does say he owns reg B3 AST so I would guess the car in this post belongs to Markymark, weather it is the car in the linked post we need Markymark to answer that one.

That reg seems to be on a Ducati 916 now.

I'm not usually into modified NSX, but I do like this, love that wide arch look. If it was mine though, bonnet would be white and I'd of tried to keep the front end OEM looking, and I really like the wheels.

This car is owned by a guy up near Stevenage and if I remember correctly his name is Mark so it is MarkyMarks.....

It's originally the Icetronix car that had the 3.2L engine but they reverted back to the 5-speeder gearbox. Originally sold to a guy in Glasgow called Jason I think? Mark bought it from him about 8 months ago perhaps.

The bonnet is my old Type-R one before I went "facelift" Mark said he was getting the seats re-trimmed with Red side bolsters but leaving the centres black(these were 04 perforated seats so not what I would have done...I wanted to buy them off him). Back in March he was awaiting the concave wheels and bumper coming in from the US so with all these similarities to what's in the pictures I can say it's definitely his/ex Icetronix car...... He also did an 01+ ABS upgrade....

Dam! why did i put my plate on this site! hahaha like to be anonymous :D Just to make clear, i did not buy that auto orange thing!!! lol
my car is totally different and is a manual brought a year ago

i have spent a year carefully choosing the right mods for it to still keep the original look, didnt want any garish boxy bodykit, the rear bumper is the best bit, one off that took bodyshop 6months to do, the wheels are all custom offsets and took me ages to sort out with alot of hassle and research... so no i will not be giving away the secret offsets lol.. hope you understand. i completely stripped the interior and re trimmed it all, all parts for this car i had shipped over from the states, cost me a f***ing fortune!!! but luv the way its turned out.

PS....yes i wanted bonnet sprayed with the duct left carbon, but so many people told me to leave the nice gloss carbon bonnet as it is, admittedly it looks better in the flesh than in pictures, also bumper needs finishing off better, the lines and gap extra... just rushed it for the shows this year but its at bodyshop being sorted properly now

This is footage at Wilton House SuperCar show which is by special invitation only, i was experimenting with exhaust and the twin pipe thing i didnt like, and is back to the original look now http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CA0u_U299l0

You made a top job of the exterior from what I can see! I saw this car in the flesh before you purchased it, and lets just say, it wasn't for me then.

But really do like it now! What are those rims?

Thanks sudesh... yeah spent alot of time getting interior right, still not perfect yet, ive totally re-bushed all suspension, new steering rack and uprated bushers, expensive KW V3 full suspension, totally rebuilt AP racing calipiers, all typeR strengthening braces under chassis, it drives like its brand new, im doing a full strip down and respray soon. ive owned ridiculous amounts of fast cars from r34gtr700bhp, '07 M6, 400bhp Exige s1, Murcielago ...but luv this as its super rare!!!and is such a good drivers car, feels very special. Wheels i had imported from a chap in california, there brand new and are the new type of concave from BC, i think you now can get them in europe there a korean make , at the time it was only for the US market. I think i must be SOS best customer in the states! lol

Hi Mark,

Mod away my friend, its your car and for you to enjoy. Exterior looks good to me and subtle enough that to the untrained it could be OEM ... do think the bonnet would be better the way you were thinking, ie painted but with maybe just the vent left CF.

More pictures of the interior would be good please

Welcome 'officially' to NSXCB ...

regards, Paul

Nice looking car, the mods almost look like factory ones, apart from the carbon hood.
Although it's kind of a traditional Japanese mod to have black/carbon now, I'd go with a painted hood.
Enjoy!

Love the look of your car....I have seen that subtle widebody kit by one of the german owners.
You can consider doing a bonnet wrap like mine to see if you like:

Thankyou people:).... yeah will try and get a better interior pic for you soon.

Good Idea Silver surfer a wrap!... as once sprayed i couldnt go back to the nice gloss carbon so a wrap is ideal, only problem is the colour match, as mine is a honda white not sure if it would look odd, ie slightly different whites.

Yeah your right, to be honest the swiss car above looks totally wrong.... dont like the rear or the front, i like mine because its very subtle compared to the above car, my front is all standard looking with standard bumper only an added lower lip which i got molded into original bumper to look smoother. My rear also retains the standard looking spoiler set up, ok i have the higher typeR spoiler, but still it dosent look all swollen out like that car does.
Everyone who see's my car at the show's (other then say an nsx owner) just assumes its just a standard nsx with rims and rear bumper... they dont realise its actually wider. Which i really like:)

I think it is the Comptech Widebody kit.

Unsure about the rest of the kit but the rear bumper is from the FX-TA1 wide body kit (same kit as I'll be running)

Marks car still looks the best!

I'd love to see one with the standard bumpers and sides and rear wide arches And all fitted together perfect, wheel wise I'd also love to see the OEM ones on but too small for the kit an not wide enough, but I know a company that could make the OEM rears larger and wider.

markymark
08-10-2012, 10:58 PM
yup thats my rear bumper all the way from Las Vegas was a nightmare to bring over! and then my bodyshop had to completely cut it up and remold it to fit properly, it was not easy and alot of work! the fx car is a bit wider and longer than mine.

Interesting ... and could be off interest to those that are running spacers with the OEM 02's to fill the standard arches ... do tell more please

Paul it's something I've been working on for my own car. Basically I wanted the the rear wheels made in the same offset as the enkies I had, but the wheel would be 10" wide or 10.5", this woud hive the car that wider stance at the rear.
