This page describes my current ACURA NSX motorcar, and the modifications and enhancements I have made to it. The Acura NSX comes from the factory with a wonderful sense of balance and, whilst no longer the market leader it once one was, continues to be one of the best all-around sportscars in the world.

My modifications are primarily meant to improve the overall driving experience, from performance (breathing and mechanicals) to control (suspension/brakes/chassis). Design intent is to leverage JDM OE-type mods whenever possible (e.g., NSX-R drivetrain, engine cover, shift knob; also the move to the use of exhaust headers) but not take things to an extreme (e.g., NSX-R suspension).

Finally, in keeping the car distinctive, I have chosen a few mods that, while they might not add as much in terms of "driving", add my unique signature to the car (e.g., the big 17/18 Kinesis K5 wheels, carbon-fiber parts, white-face gauges, color-coordinated red trim, sportier exhaust). After all, why settle for a limited-edition (1 of 26) car when you can have a one-of-a-kind?

As its tracking work in progress, this web-page will always be under construction, so check back every now and then for updates...
