Will it be ready for the Euro trip, or is it track only?

But its nearly finished (honest!)

324 bhp. Incredibly it jumped 20bhp with additional 75mm intake spacers on the ITBs. May spend a bit more time tuning them when its up and running

haha,

Well I love building cars and I love track and racing so yes, alhough, I do have 2 other road NSXs.

If it was my only NSX then I wouldnt have done it

And TBH, If I had known the value NSXs were going, I wouldnt have done it to this one either (preface NA2) but I did start the project nearly 6 years ago!

So before starting my next build thread. thought Id better update this one.

So I built the car, drive it 200 miles, realised Im never going to track it, so sold it to these guys! At least its being used for what I built it originally for

No fluke this year Dr, you showed your full knowledge to the rest of Europe, not bad at all for a Porsche enthusiast 😉

Are you sure sure you don't want me to design you a customised Porsche watch? 😂

Road or track this time ( we know you’ve done both), and what vintage of NSX?

Road, and nearly OEM - Ive given up trying to make NSXs faster and handle better, they were just great out of the factory!

Its a complicated one. I have a clean black 93 shell and a 93 manual coupe with 25k on the clock which had some damage. So Im going to make a good one out of the two!

You can't suppress the NSX bug despite having a faster/newer/meaner/more powerful car...LOL

Shame to see it all stickered up like this....The silver and black looks so much cooler IMO....at the least the engine went in a car that won the modded car of the year at this years NSXCE tour.
