    Default a pro build in the good 'ol U S of A...

    Clarion in America have chosen a '91 228k miles NSX for their next project....

    the prime thread... http://www.nsxprime.com/forum/showth...l-Build-Thread

    and Clarions site.... http://www.clarionbuilds.com/

    they have dyno'd it to get a base line and now started the strip down!



    lets see what a bucket full of money can do to a tired old NSX!!!!

    '92 charlotte green auto.... as a daily
    '37 Ford Y street rod......... something for the weekend!

    ...... if a photobucket pic is foggy, click it, and it'll take you to the clear version, yes, it's a clicking faff....

    Let's hope Clarion see sense and put a monster, ground pounding, LED flashing sound system in it to finish it off.

    Blue '08 FD2 CTR - big, ITR-sized shoes to fill...
    Yellow '96 NSX 3.0 - oh was it worth the wait!
    Black '99 ITR - well, I had to have another one, the first was so much fun. Miss this one even more than #1...
    Blue '03 S2000 - SOLD, flawed but fun
    Blue '04 Focus TDCi Sport - SOLD, very good fun for a diesel!
    Black '00 ITR - SOLD, still missed
    Red '98 Civic VTi - SOLD, probably still bombproof
