Pics of a fast car (56K please look elsewhere)

Here's a few pics I shot this week end... Sorry for the poor quality pics. I'm not a pro at snapping pics...

































The suspension was upgraded with some Tein shocks and the headers have been replaced with comptech headers. The intake wasn't upgraded since after reading about it, I got mixed opinion on it.

Notice the rub on the SC. It's rubbing on the panel on top. It should get resolved soon. By the way, all the upgrades have been done in my friend's garage (it's a DYI project).

That car runs like it's been given viagra...

Cheers

Looking good Luc! A comptech SC puts the NSX back in the supercar status- IMO It must be a blast to drive.

And you gotta LOVE a "little" negative camber
Look at the gap between the outside of the rear wheel and the ground

Very nice car... And did you get it dyno'd yet? As others have already mentioned, that's a lot of neg. camber; how's the tire wire? As far as the SC goes, I've seen a few other cars with the same rubbing issue. I know on the NSX-T models, ComTech replaces the rear cover for SC clearance issues.

I know about the camber problem... I'll look into it this week end. By the way, the car is parked in a slopped parking (look at the 8th picture) which probably make the camber look worse than it is... I may be wrong but will look into it nonetheless...

I didn't dyno it. I'm gonna look around for a place to do it.

As for the cover, I'll give a call to Comptech. I was provided a soft pouch to envelop the targa cover but did not get a hard cover...

Thanks for the info.

Regards

No problem...

As per the CompTech NSX Supercharger kit info

"
...

Product Notes: Targa model NSX’s come with a Comptech Sport Billet Strut Bar and a new engine cover assembly that will accommodate the targa top.

Turbo on an already supercharged car? What are you going to need 5:1 compression?
