This is my NSX. It's bein' worked on, and I'm hoping to have it done by Saturday but that may not be the case, depending on the work I have, and since I have an autocross to prepare for on Sunday.

Here's it is, and you can see the hood that I stole from a Castrol Mugen NSX. I originally included the little diffusers but they looked bad to me, so I took them off.

Here's the rear. That's an SAS spoiler, and you can see the metal transfer emblem stolen from an S2000. Otherwise, nothing special.

Here's my engine. Unfortunately, most of it is obscured by body. Stupid midship. Anyway, here you can see the supercharger I added, as well as the intake that will eventually terminate with the Mugen NSX roof scoop. Oh yeah, and the cool heat shielding I made but putting metal foil on toilet paper and hitting it on my mousepad to make it crinkly.... I'm so proud of that stuff! Me = nerd.

Here it is with rims on, two pics because I think it looks hard core.

So what ya'll think? I honestly think this is my best car to date, and If you check my other posts, I'm sure you'll agree.

Impressive.


:twak:

looks good, what kind of wheels are those because i have been looking for a pair of wheels like that. thanks

very nice. :thumbsup:

I think they are Aoshima Blitz BRW??? I had them and use dthem on my 180SX, theyre badass

Looks great, the rims look superb on this kit! Paint could have done with more work though.

Looks awsome. What color is that?

:biggrin:

Very nice :bigthumb:

It looks bloody gorgeous, but I have to agree with FOTW, maybe panel lining, and some polishing would have made it even more WOW !


Olivier:bigthumb:

Very nice color. Is it that Orange Metallic Pearl (or something like that) from Tamiya? And those Blitz BRW are the best. I buy those up whenever I see them (which unfortunately isn't that often). I love those wheels. Nice touch with the supercharger and hood.

I think it looks great.

Very nice man. Keep up the great work.:bigthumb:

Excellent job.

very nice i like the color and the wheels and spoiler look nice on the car too. GOod JOB:bigthumb:

:iceslolan

you did a damn fine job! Is it just me or does it look alot like one of the 13 Devils' cars from Tokyo Xtreme Racer Zero?

vvvrrrrrrrrrrooooOOOOOOOOMMM!!! :bigthumb:

More pics of motor + s/c with the body off? :icon16:

Damnit shorty the word is "What", not "Whut" geez....


anyhow, SWEET car buddy, looks awsome!

Wow, that is one cool nsx.
Love the supercharger and the heat shield. Nice work man.

Was this the NSX-R kit, or did you remove the foglights yourself?

The rims are the Blitz BRW's, I think, I've thrown ot the box to make room for more kits.

The color is Acura Imola Orange Pearl basecoat over gray primer and with Testors pearl and gloss on top. I'm actually really dissappointed in the paint. It should be redder, but the gray primer sucked out all the color, so it looks almost gold. Made me really mad. I should have used white primer. Later, after the point of no return, I experimented on a scrap body that was half white and half gray primed... the difference was enormous. I think I'll prime white and paint my 350Z with the same paint-- no one will know.

It's the Tamiya NSX, the one with the red car on the box art, 2400. So no, it's not the NSX-R, neither the Tamiya version nor the Fujimi.

I don't really agree with panel lines, I don't like them. But that said, I do admit I didn't score around the hood enough before painting, and the line is too shallow. I'm always afraid to polish, too, Since my RX-7 which I polished like crazy and it looks far worse than this. Call me chicken, but that's it.

Anyway-- ya'll said the paint needs work-- what kind of work? Seriously curious, I've put a bit of work into this car and I want it as well as I can get it. Tips and criticisim are well received.

nice car:bigthumb:

I love that colour! And the wheels....OH the wheels..are awsome. Great job, man! Looks killer :D :bigthumb: x 2

Ya'll asked for an engine:

There it is. Not real detailed because I couldn't find as good resources as I could for my Civic.

Wow!! I can't wait to see this one done!!1 The engine and interior look great!!

Where did u get the rims? Thanx

Beautiful!

Nice and original. It's neat to see all the spliced bodywork and the clean engine modifications, plus the attention to detail on the body.

I like this one a lot. :thumbsup:

Darn nice! Love what you do to the exterior and engine. :bigthumb:

:iceslolan :grinyes: :evillol: :jump3:
:grinyes:

Those wheels look like they were MADE for that car! They are absolutely perfect!! Nice job... I like the heat shield!
