Lovin it!

 

You are almost 30, wont you feel silly in a modded versa?

OK ill lay off now.

 

I am past thirty, I feel silly already. LOL!

 

Nice! What years were you looking for the A8?


As for me this winter, nothing much planned. I'm trying to sell the M5 privately so I can move a space in the garage. I'll be looking at trucks as well as my lease on the Tundra is almost over.

 

Two empty spaces eh?

lemme torture you a bit

 

I love the sound of my Flowmasters but its choking exhaust flow, so.....




and hopefully before the end of winter, a set of springs and Koni double adjustables.



in the meantime, to replace this:



I ordered these:



and no, it doesn't glow indiglo blue.

 

refinish my iforged rims and shop for a new cruiser...wide range of cars from preowned cls55 to new m3s

however, I need to cop a crib before any car shopping happens

 

you're not helping

 

I've decided to keep the Versa STOCK. What was I thinking... As mentioned in the first post, I just added the navigation to the NSX and a type R shift boot, Zanardi shift knob:





This should arrive in about 3-4 weeks from Japan. Only about 10 of these in the US, the wheel is distributed by Works Bell Japan in a collaboration project with the drivers of Team Orange, top in the D1GP series. Also had to get the quick release.

 

love the interior of your NSX. the navi looks good

 

the interior is sex

Good call on keeping the nissan stock!

 

agreed and AGREED.
the only real mod to do with a versa is tint the windows dark so people can't see you...

and maybe a broadway mirror

 

 

That wheel will look sick

 

Well its still snowing so guess its still winter so here is the next phase of what is most likely or at least for the foreseeable future going to be a never ending project. I have upgraded almost everything possible and I am starting to get sick of the factory stereo so I figured it was time to address that. With replacing the entire factory stereo besides the headunit I also wanted to redo my trunk setup. Nothing extremely fancy and it hasn't even been started but I will try to explain it. The one thing I wanted to be able to put in the trunk was the Carbing Trunk Brace so the stereo will be designed around allowing that fit in the trunk. To install the Carbing Trunk Brace you have to install some bolts from the underside of the car. For me this is a problem cause it means I have to remove the rear diffuser which is a pain. So I also decided to finally install a rear sway bar. Yeah I know, with everything I have done to my car and I am still using the factory sway bar, how pathetic. I chose to go with the progress rear sway cause the only other one I would have went with was a Swift rear sway bar but it is not as thick. Since I wanted to start planning the stereo as soon as possible I had the Carbing Trunk Brace EMS shipped direct from Carbing and since the cost wasn't much more to add another item I ordered the Carbing Rear Floor Brace as well.

Now onto the audio equipment. I am using all Memphis Audio gear for the car and was able to get a great deal cause my buddies shop sells Memphis Audio. Since I am using the factory radio still I am using Memphis's OEM called the 6ix interface device that give you a clean signal from the factory headunit. I am using their 6.5" Msync Components up front and their 6.5" M Class Coaxial Components in the rear. The amp I am using is the Memphis Big Belle which is a 5 channel amp putting out 4 x 75 watts @ 4 ohms and 1 x 1100 watts @ 1 ohm. The 1100 watts from the sub channel will be split to two Memphis M3 subwoofers. The Memphis Big Belle is a massive amp as well and 30in wide. I am going to try to figure out some way to mount it raised about 3 -5 in above the Carbing Trunk Brace along the back of the rear seat at an angle. Obviously though I will not even consider mounting it to the Carbing brace. There will be one sub in each corner of the trunk in fiberglass enclosures facing the opening of the trunk. This is all going to take a long time to install so hopefully in a month or so I will have some pics of the beginning of the install. Until then the pictures of all the gear are below.


The entire conglomerate



Carbing Trunk Brace



Carbing Rear Floor Brace



















Progress Rear Sway Bar









Memphis Audio 6ix Interface







Memphis Audio 6.5" Coaxial Components





Memphis Audio 6.5" MSync Components (cast baskets are hot I almost want to reverse mount them so they show)











Memphis Audio M3 Subs










Memphis Audio Big Belle (It evens tests to put out more output than it claims, also uses an external fuse rather than an internal fuse 200amps)





















Memphis OAWG Amp Kit (Crazy how much stuff comes with it)











One four channel and One two channel RCA set



One Battery Terminal, One fuse holder with 250amp fuse, Two distribution blocks (Most likely wont use the terminal and keep using my stinger ones with displays)

 

damn son. nice gear!

those are some serious looking door speakers

 

CCColtsicehockey, quality post!

I really like the contrast orange stitching and stripes on the wheel. Clean! That's a pretty cool navi pod too, was it just a trim piece that replaced the upper vent surround? It looks OEM. Good call on the Versa too, same with your seats also

 

^^^DAMN! That's a SICK audio system..... I like that line output converter. How are you going to mount the amp, that thing is huge. Also do you mind posting a pic of how that trunk brace connects? I assume you have a show car or don't use your trunk much? I've seen trunk braces before, but not a cross trunk brace, awesome stuff man.

 

Nice changes to the NSX interior.

I posted my planned S2000 mods in the Official S2000 thread a couple of weeks ago:

(Not pictured) Comptech supercharger with aftercooler, with AP2 stock pulley (good for another pound of boost)

Tanabe Medalion Touring exhaust and Sumitomo HTR Z III tires.


Rota D2s in boxes


D2 hyperblack oblique shot to get the rim






Rim shot


The slumbering car with battery tender on....waiting for spring....

 

The pod comes with a vent, it's an OEM navigation setup from the JDM NSX. No Navi was made available in the states.

 

neuronbob wheels shoot look sweet on your S.

what battery tender do you have for it I need to get one for my tsx since it sits all winter.

 

synth - The navi looks good in there. I really like the shifter and steering wheel.

Colts - Damn! You never rest, do you?

NB - That's going to be one very clean, very fast car .


My winter mods...I'm going to finish up and install my custom headlights in the next couple of weeks. Compared to this page and Costco and cM3go's exhausts/mods, I don't feel like I should even be posting in this thread.

 

try not too

 

Damn, neuronbob.... going all out! let us know how the S2k is after the S/C.

No way dude, pics are what count the most anyway so don't feel bad about it. A mod is a mod - at least you're sharing and modding, at that. As long as you don't post a whole new thread about your brand new AcuraZine decal on your rear window or something

I ended up getting springs + Koni Yellows instead of the exhaust system, was waiting on a couple of fat bonus checks that never came I'll post an update eventually though...

 

When you put on the Progress sway bar, make sure you put teflon tape around where the bushings go on the bar. This'll keep it from squeaking, something I didn't do, and now mine squeaks over speed bumps and other random times

 

thanks will make sure to do that, don't want any squeaks.

 

So I got that diffuser put on... But before I did that, I lowered the car on H&R springs (1" front, .6" back) and still maintain electronic dampening control.

And now... I bought this front bumper, already on its way from Japan.

 

^ You're on a rampage cM3 go nice front bumper too, I can't wait to see your car when it's done.

 

teaser





these are all custom vacuum bagged CF parts. more to come.

 

We'll never know.....since I'm selling the s/c and exhaust. With the new CTS-V, I don't need to put it in now. LSA + blower= and I'm going to use the S as it was intended....as a canyon-carver.

My only S mods this year are going to be the new wheels and tires, just in time to go to Wake the Dragon in late April! Can't wait!

 

thanks for bumping this! My damn steering wheel is taking its sweet time to get here. arghhhh! (next week ETA).

 

this bad boy should be here in a few weeks.

 

^ looks like a friggin octopus!

 

Sound clips plz And thank god you're taking care of the stock NSX steering wheel (my only gripe).

 

a work of are is what that is. I would hang that on my living room wall.

 

haha.. werd. Here are a few sound clips for ppl interested, it's the GT ONE 5.1 exhaust, lucky to have found this! Not many ppl have these in the States...

Werd on the bump!

My bumper came in and its at Fall-Line Motorsports getting the splitters wrapped in CF. Then it'll be back to the body shop to get finished and painted. Can't wait!

 

great call on wrapping the splitters... can't wait to see it completed!
