Not been on here for a while and on my return I see my old baby torn apart this is like a bad dream lol.
Not knocking you lot at least your putting the old beast back on the road in some shape or form but i never thought it would end up a race car having put so much work into painting the car myself.
Pande
Cage is now complete so started test fitting the body kit parts - its huge!!

If so, would you be willing to part with them and I can send you my new ones when I find them or pay for yours and the cost of posting them to me.

Nigel, these headlight washers are turning into the holy grail! :D

They've certainly been a long time coming and a pain in the ars# but worth the trouble over here, I hope. Most over here don't know what "those black things" are.
I've seen the ones on e-bay but more importantly I need the retainer clips and the little adapter hose/fitting they're not offering.
I have the bits, I thought they were in the box with the reservoir. I must have left them in my big box of NSX bits in my storage locker up in Atlanta, Georgia and not worth the 9 hr drive each way to retrieve them right now.
Thanks for the interest and reminding me what an idiot I am for dealing with them. LOL
Cheers

I just returned to the e-bay site and they show the whole nozzle assy. from an S2000 for the r/s only.
I'll be making an offer straight away as i've bought other bits for my Prelude 4WS from them and they're good lads to deal with.
Maybe they'll have the l/s laying about by now.
Thanks.
Cheers

Looks like a work of art!
Can't wait to see this beast finished and to meet you on the track :D
Well she is finally back in the workshop so work has started on putting her back together.
First step -cleaning all the suspension components

Our suspensions engineering excellence can really be appreciated when nice and clean! How did you achieve the results?
thanx for the recent help on parts!
Regards, Paul

Some more progress, along with a slight change in direction (due to various reasons).
No longer a race car, but a Road/Track spec based on a "GT3 RS" philosophy (although it will still be pretty hardcore)
Cage is (obviously) staying but retaining the glass, fans, and possibly replacing some comfort parts like carpet and sound deadening.
I've also swapped out my custom race steering rack for an OEM manual one (still with power assisted column). Engine is still to be decided.
Air jacks will stay (so handy).
Anyway some pics of latest work.

Even the wiper mechanism cannot escape a clean up!

Sad to see it not be a race car but it will still be taking it far further than most!
BEst get your finger out Sir and ensure its ready for the Silverstone parade laps ... at least it will be on track even if not racing ... still going widebody?
Rob, drop me a PM if you are interested in any of my race bits I wont be using (inc engine)Quote:

Been a lot of trial and error to fit the EPAS system to the car using a manual NSX rack I had with the EPAS system. But in the end using a combination of the GM unit, NSX and EP3 parts it fits perfectly and the UJ movement is perfect. I have even managed to get the existing steering wheel surround to fit
The EPAS unit with modified UJ and column

Alignment of the column is perfect. I hope you like my (ahem) Type R pedals

Not a bad OEM look

Not a great amount of progress, just some more shopping!

It's great seeing it being re-built, I thought it had long since been destroyed......following with interest.
Currently off at Fiberworx to have the body kit fitted and extensively modified!
The push is on. Will be ready for the spring
Engine overhauled and ITBs on. Modified cooling system.

Are you installing a different body-kit now or sourcing OE panels?
OE Panels Simon. Comparing them to the kit I had, they are a work of art!Quote:
