da illist, what a crappy background you used. Mountains, ocean, and a skyline. Looks like temps are in the 80's. This Hawaii thing looks just plain awful. I can imagine a high rate of skin cancer, etc.

I can say this right now because as I look out my window snow is AGAIN falling. They are predicting another 6-8 inches. So you can have your sun and thong bikinis. I just love salty roads, my down jacket, slush, people asking "cold enough for ya?", and idiot weathermen.

Oh, by the way great pic and nice car.

Strangely, the best posting on the thread is one without a picture!

Yeah I'll settle, but the best car won't be in the picture. What's the NSX doing in another country?

Well, right now, it's just sitting there because I'm on the other side of the ocean. I have two places that I call home.

Exclamation Clear Front Side Lenses

Can anyone give me a link or point me in the right direction so I can purchase the clear front side lenses that come yellow from the factory on the 3G TL? I see them on a bunch of the pics in this thread and they look sick. I live in the DC area. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

We just happened to be out at Indianapolis Raceway Park (O'Reilly Raceway Park now actually) and got the photos below in some test shots we took for a promo for the next Winged Warriors Challenge in May (Tire Rack is one of our sponsors). I am on the Board of Directors and O'Reilly was nice enough to let us use their facility for the next challenge. It was real strange being out on the property and being the only ones there.... Anyway...photos submitted. Check the events thread for more info on the challenge. (Import vs Domestic) Autocross, Dragrace, Car Show all scored seperately for each team. Last year...imports tore em up!

johnny--2k: The puddle lamp was from this company Varad. www.varad.com or http://www.varad.com/images/il2w_r3_c2.gif

Installation is pretty easy, drill a couple holes underneath the panel. But what I did is that I install it from the inside of the side skirt. I didn't want to install it from the bottom up because I'm afraid if my car go up the lift, it might damage the LEDs. I will get 2 more install on each side because the module can accept a total of 6 LEDs on each side.

As for the Mugen wheels, call up Kingmotorsport. They have the right offset for the 6 speed TL. On the site they only list a portion of the offset. So just call them I make a mistake because my offset is +55 and I have to add a 30mm wheel spacer. I called kingmotorsport and they said they have a +43 and +45 offset.

Good luck

Awesome!! Thanks for the link.

As for the wheels, King is right around the corner from my house (literally less than 5 minutes) so I have been there plenty of times. Never though to ask Scott if they had them in the proper offsets for the 6MT. Next time I am there I will have to ask him.
