nice pickup! the targas do look cool but I think they are supposed to be heavier than the normal hardtops due to extra bracing, and in the end aren't as stiff.

I might be late on this, do you have a BM part out thread? I PM'd about your BBK but think I am still going the NSX caliper route. More interested in your TL lip if not spoken for already.

Good luck with the NSX-T =)

Wrong type of door frame.
If it had windows to the top It would've been a option before.
Now no.
After drivetrain is working right I will get back to making it look nice some how.

Stance

Diddy I really like what you did to your cl. I'm currently 19 years old and going to UTI.I was reading your specs and I dont know too much about stances so heres my question, how would I go about to get a similiar stance with 18rims and a nice offset? If u can break it down for dummies. Thank you for your time hope to hear back from you

Best to go coil overs instead of lowering springs , rolled sometimes pulled fenders .
Wide wheels 9-10.5inches with low offsets +30 +20 etc.
Most of the time slighty or extreme stretched tires , depending on the person

would a camber kit allow you to get a lower offset?

going back to stock to fund the nsx build. unlike the CL it has big aftermarket support. everything is expensive for this car. the CL is going to be my daily so it wont be seeing shows and i wont be riding out with my friends with it anymore. trust me its hard seeing it like this. it was my first build so this car is kind of special to me. ive sold off a bunch of stuff. whatever you see in my sig is all i have left on the car. i have a long list of stuff planned for the NSX it will surpass my CL build.

I agree with you 100%. Congratulations on the new car purchase. I'm sure it will be a nice new build. I'll keep a eye out for it.

thanks. im excited about this new build.

Omg I've never been in love with a car like this. It's too dark so I'll post pics tomorrow. It ended up being uncovered transport. They fucked up my order. But what I owed the driver reflected that. So I'm good. Funny thing though the truck driver said from Cali to FL about 20 people asked him along the way if the car was for sale.
