mugen_kid build thread | 1992 Sebring Silver

Hey Gang,

I have been waiting patiently to get into another NSX and a Silver one at that. Last week one popped up in LA and I took a road trip last weekend to check it out. Everything is in working order and in very great condition. I will be working on the interior first to get some of the normal wear items replaced from its age. The exterior will get a front lip, side skirts, and rear valance soon. The wheels I like but will replace to my own taste soon as well. Really glad to be back into this car! Nothing drives and moves me like this thing I will be keeping this thread updated as I do more mods. Thanks for looking!







And my first mod, new floormats

Picked up a NSX-R mesh shift boot and CR shift knob from Science of Speed. I'm very fortunate to have them local! Great group of guys.

Thanks, not much new with the CL. Im waiting for the weather to cool down to work on the sides and front lip. I hit something this weekend heading to California in the CL and now the front bumper has some cracks in it. So now that has to be fixed now. Still loving the CL, it works great for the daily commute and road trips I will post it up when I get some stuff done. It has been longer then I wanted but things just keep getting in the way.

The car just turned over 100k miles. I could not believe the condition it was in. My last one had half that and this one is almost just as clean. The price I will have to keep a secret sorry. Here's a couple pictures from over the weekend.

A few updates, wheels finally came in. Still need to install my H&R springs, and get a front lip. But I'm enjoying the car regardless.

sweet ride! I agree. The picture with the driver (you?) in the NSX is very cool.

I can't help but wonder what you do for a living? I am curious because you seem to have access to a lot of cool toys to mod car tastefully. I remember you had to take off 5mm off of the backplate on the Vossen wheels for the black ZDX back then.

Thanks! Yes that is me, photo was taken by a member here 4cruizn. I had to machine the front wheels, the PCD, offset, and center bore all needed machined to fit.

I work for a wholesale wheel company doing all their graphic design, photography, web, and so on! Been here a long time and its been a great ride!

Yes it's aftermarket, made by Pride. Sounds good, still like the one on my black one a little better for it was a bit louder. Other then the Comptech short gears and exhaust its pretty much stock.

Thanks for the feedback, going 18/18 is a different route for most NSX owners. I ended up lowering the car more and added a front lip. Its compliments the car very well now!

The money pit for sure, I love the 02+ wheels you have. I had those on my last NSX and wish I never sold them! Car looks great.

John, the car is looking AMAZING.

What stands out the most about your builds are the painstaking effort you put into the details. Custom wheel fitment, slight stretch in the tires, perfect lowering, and unconventional 18f/18r setup... So unique, so beautiful.

Can't wait to see the next mods!
