Mods? Looks lowered + wheels/tires, kit. Specs? Is that it?

Also, year, miles, etc. Just curious

Looks great! But for an "intro", you're lacking details

Thanks for the details!

I know you said you're planning on a rebuild... but how does it drive for 116k miles? Been looking at a few and wasn't sure if I needed to be worried about the higher mileage ones...

it drives great. maintenance wise the only thing ive done so far was put new spark plugs, coilpacks and replaced all 4 o2 sensors. i was worried about the high mileage thing too at first but but the nsxprime members assured me pending the person kept up on the regular maintenance your fine. their very reliable cars. i bought it from a prime member. theres a few members with a lot more miles than me and they have no complaints.

Car looks great, diddy!

Got a question for you and others that have experience with coilovers..I just installed single adjustable coilovers for my Elise, and in adjusting the height after installing, counted all the threads to make sure the fronts were the same, and the rears were the same, before putting the wheels back on. I measure the ride height and each corner is different, and I'm not talking about 1/8", i'm talking about a variation of almost an inch difference. I know that the floor isn't totally even and is part of the culprit, but the difference is pretty drastic, so much that you can see the height difference in how much it's off. Any tips on adjusting ride height without having to put the wheels on and off a million times until you find the right height? Sorry for the

Wow, the NSX looks amazing diddy, always loved the T-top. Your mods really made a night and day difference. It sits just perfect. I've always preferred the facelifted front end but I think I'm really split on it now. The pop-up headlights are just as nice.

i dont plan on going any crazier with the stance like i did with the CL. its perfect. parting out the CL helped a lot modding this car. still have so much more to do to it.

i always preferred the facelifted version. but now that i have the the pop ups i think might keep like this. i really like them. i had planned on doing the conversion. i dont know about that now.

im sure theres some guys that can chime in. my buddy installed mines and did it exactly the way you did and it came out perfect all the way around. i know having a flat surface plays a huge part though.

Wow man. Strong work! Even though mine is a garage queen, looking at yours just makes me want to get my credit card out and pick up a set of coilovers and rims.

Best of luck with her.
