Thread: Indy Yellow F-matic

  1. #1

    Default Indy Yellow from the Netherlands

    Hi Guys,

    Allow me to introduce myselfl, I'm Bas from Helmond in the Netherlands (Europe). Together with Dimer i've founded "NSX Club Europe. I work as a international sales manager for Plastics 4 Performance who makes Lexan windows for the motorsport industry. And have my own company called R-developments . Owning an NSX was a lifelong dream, and i was lucky enough to be able to buy my NSX just before turning 31 years old last year. Before the Auto vs manual trashing begins i drive an F-matic due to a paralised arm (reason why i can't shift), but i can guarantee Honda did a good job with their F-matic. Some specs:

    Honda NSX-T 3,0 F-matic
    Color: Indy Yellow Pearl
    Year: 1997 (it's a late NA1 though)
    Modifications on the car already:


    • Work Emotion wheels 17x8 et 42 / 18x9.5 et 38
    • 330mm JBT front brake setup
    • K&N panel filter
    • Downforce Intake stack
    • Jdm 3rd brake light
    • KW V3 Coilovers
    • Advance Titanium GT exhaust
    • NA2 headers
    • Sport catalic converters
    • Red valve covers
    • NA2 rear brakes with Power Slot grooved discs


    Further i got some stuff on my wish list, Recaro Pole position seats in black leather and some other upgrades.

    Some pictures of the car:

    When i bought it in the UK:





    At a local meeting:



    At the moment it's Winter over here so the car is sat under it's cover in the garage, but i can't wait for the summer to begin. I'm redoing the suspension as i like the Bilstein setup better then the KW V3's. Furthermore i'm mounting different wheels (again, i have a bit of a "wheel fetish") and redoing the brakes Furthermore i'm finalising a new carbon intake:







    I'll be sure to post some updates over here!


    Thanks for looking!

    Nicely modified without going over the top but covering many of the NSX areas of concern!

    When i see a European NSX one thing ALWAYS bothers me, the sagging licenseplate holder. So after some "bodging" with my new"sagginglicenseplateholderfixingmould" tool..







    So if anyone wants to borrow the tool let me know ;-)...

    Looking good. Like the improvised tool use; did you glue the surround, too?

    Won't this be like a facelift?? It'll eventually sag again..... Nice idea and effort though. Might give it a go...

    I've used a "3M kit" made for fitting emergency windscreens around the top edge. Hopefully this will prevent it from sagging again.
    Part # 08610 is the one i used:http://solutions.3mnederland.nl/3MCo...bute=ImageFile

    I'll keep you posted if she "sags" again...
