Sorry for the lack of updates, but the car has been at the body shop for a few months getting everything sorted out. Hoping to get the body back this week, so I can finish the swap.

here's a shot of the engine along with the custom turbo manifold, and a 4 Piston Racing CNC Ported Skunk 2 race manifold

Does someone sell those tails or did you build that circuit?

A company called Arclight makes them. I wish I knew how. Haha.

Not too much going on lately. The car is getting the final prep work done, then hopefully primed and painted.

I'm trying to get things ready so it's just putting it all back together when the car comes back. The engine is pretty much almost dressed, and I destroyed a pair of tail lights putting an LED conversion in them.

Wow.

Howyadoin, He has another thread for this car that extremely in depth, listed in the first post.

I love this.

The love I have for your cars is unreal Amir.

Super keen to see this come together and you track this in it's new form.

Yesssss, I was waiting for this thread .

Thanks guys!

I love this so much. My lifelong dream is to build a car worthy of being featured in The Chronicles...

Thank you! Build something you love, and I'm sure it'll come. It's a little surreal having the build on The Chronicles. I've been very fortunate to have guys Mike and Andrew here at StanceWorks on board with my M3 build, and now to have Joey helping cover the NSX is a bit surreal. I owe a lot to all of those guys.

Very cool build but we need more details man!

I'll try to post more soon! Anything in particular you'd like to know?

My name is Amir, and I've been working on my NSX for a couple of years now. The original plan, was to just enjoy the car on the weekends. After the first track day, everything changed, and I began to build what I considered to be the perfect all around streetable track car. The first step was to work on the set up and maximize the car as it was. The car exceeded all expectations I had, considering nothing major had been done to the car. I was able to win the Vtec Club USA A2 Championship, set class records, and set the fastest NA NSX times at the tracks I went to.

The next goal was to build a competitive Time Attack car. Big power was going to be a necessity, and reducing the weight was also a must. Brian at Prospeed and I started to plan for the next phase of the build. Adding a turbo, changing the gear ratios, and a diet were on the list to make the car competitive. After looking at the numbers, I decided that the best option would be to K Swap the car. The C Series is a great engine, and in a street car, it makes no sense to change. For my particular goals, a K Swap just made more sense. I wanted to cut a lot of weight, more than double the power, and keep costs of replacement engines down. I've always been inspired by the JGTC Supras that used the 3sgte engine, and liked the less is more concept that they embodied. I could meet my power goals with 2 less cylinders, and that meant a huge weight savings. Once the decision was made, I started collecting parts. Brian at Prospeed helped me coordinate the engine management, Hybrid Racing has helped with the shifting and K related parts, Innovative Mounts made a prototype mount kit, Ghostewerks took care of building a transmission to hold the power, and Insane Shafts made a set of custom axles. With all of that figured out, all that remained was piping. Battlecraft came on board to supply any needed parts, and to take care of nearly all of the fabrication.

My last track day with the car was December of last year. The decision was made to park the car, until I was ready to do the swap. I pulled the car into my personal shop in February, and have been working on the build since then.

Here is the prior build thread from stock to the baseline setting http://www.stanceworks.com/forums/sh...NSX&highlight=

Here is a shot of the how the car looked before it was pulled apart
(More of the car from Super Street's feature http://www.superstreetonline.com/fea...owball-effect/ , and Speedhunters http://www.speedhunters.com/2016/12/...ouldnt-babied/)



Here are some shots of the engine out of the car. You can see and read more on The Chronicles https://stickydiljoe.com/2017/04/10/...-introduction/









Here's a shot of when we test fitted the manifold. The Fullrace Manifold was a little too close to the trunk, so Sheepey Built is putting together a custom manifold.




Here's a shot of the weight. The car had 40lbs in the trunk and a nearly full tank of gas. About 50-70lbs of parts are missing. The goal is 2300 with an 1/8th tank of fuel





All of the preliminary work has been finished, and the car is currently at the body shop waiting for paint.
