    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,

    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.

    Default R motion - NSX race build

    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?

    Probably about 10-12kgs and possibly the most stuborn sound deadening I've ever experienced. Had to get the dry ice out!
