Will be replacing front lights for fixed but probably JGTC as 02 conversions are a tad on the expensive side!

Engine out, pretty straightforward really.
I know I said I wouldnt, but I've just ordered an FXMD widebody kit from the states :twisted:

Great progress! Pics of the widebody for us noobs?
I bought some parts off this guy and he was great, honest, fast and parts as described, highly recommended.
Thanks for the pics and write up - this will be interesting to follow.
It would also be good if you could list parts used and links to sources or prices if you are thinking about re-distribution (might need vendor status for that though). There will be a lot of parts going in to this car which peoplle would be interested in I think.
A couple fo questions:
- Is that a 3.2 engine? Think the red sides mean it is
- What was the base car?
- What are your thoughts for brakes?
Thanks,
Luke

"Before the NSX supercars were crap"
Yes I'll keep you all updated as to which parts are used. So far my only purchase has been an FXMD TA-1 widebody kit and some suspension components from Science of Speed. here is a pic of the kit installed:
Yes its a 3.2 Engine - car was an NA2 prefacelift (hence the 3.2).
Brakes, I have some AP4 pots that I'll be using or I may pinch the Alcons on my EG race car.

Thanks for writing this up, I can't wait to follow the progress. I'm so tempted to buy another NSX for the track. The bodykit looks great as well.
Some progress on the build at last!
Drawings for the steering rack finally completed and signed off.
Sound deadening finally removed:
And started removing the underseal from the inner arches.

What sort of weight was in the sound deadening, Mike?
Purple '95 manual targa
Probably about 10-12kgs and possibly the most stuborn sound deadening I've ever experienced. Had to get the dry ice out!
