Default NSX with Volk Racing wheels

Saw the other post on the NSX with the Works wheels and decided to finally post pics of my own.
1991 NSX with rare CompTech widebody, FactorX FX500 turbo system, Tein RA coilovers, 2002+ front end, HKS F-con V-pro, HKS Camp2, Kenwood DVD and Alpine lcd display, and etc.








And yes this is my daily driver as well.

Like this much better than that more heavily modded NSX in the other thread. Looks great.

Is this David? I met you at Baja Fresh. I am friends with Brian Im. I thought you didn't have the turbo in it?

Hi SilverBull, Yup its me!
I wanted the CompTech supercharger but took me forever to find a used one for my car. And Ken from FactorX decided to go bigger on his old Seamless race car, so he offered me a killer deal on the system from that race car. Right now the car is running on very low boost, a whopping 4 lbs, and it dynoed at 322 hp to the wheels. But with the vehicle weighting at only 2950lbs, the thing is a beast pass 5,000 rpm. I am trying out the low boost for a while to get used to the turbo before they push it anymore. This system when it was on their race car dynoed at just over 600hp to the wheels.

Hey Andy (blacksc400), Whatz up! Did you sell the white sc300? My wife has a ES350 and I've been on this site to see what kind of mods I can do with it. In the end, the only thing I see people do to their ES350 is window tint. I posted a pic of the ES350 with the emblems taken off and tail lights tinted and some people didn't like it.
Here is a pic of the ES350 with my mods, hehehe!
Anyone know where I can go to have the rest of the tail lights tinted. I tried it myself but it was a pain to do and I just gave up.

hey David, yes, I sold the SC a while ago, got a LS, and the project is almost finished too. Next time come check out my VIP LS.

The ES looks good too. give Universal Sound a call, 248-4220, they will help you with the tint. Tell them Andy referred you.

Your NSX is beautiful. I was generally not a fan of the fixed headlight look on the refresh and preferred the fold up light look but yours looks very good. Everything is tasteful and the car looks like a true exotic.

nice looking ride. rare bird. I think the NSX didnt ever sell well because of the high price tag and the low power. It would still keep up with lambos and ferraris on the track, but people couldnt get over the hp numbers and the price.I had a neighbor that almost bought one, but decided to get a porsche because it was cheaper, and in his eyes had a better name. I see where he is coming from, but I would have spent the extra 10-15k and gotten the feather weight NSX. I am a huge fan of the NSX, or as I like to call it, The japanese ferrari. Anything sporty and japnese is what I am into . NSX, supra, skyline, z33,z32,240's,civics,evos,wrx;s and even the AE86(hotchi baby). Great performing cars that are reliable, and a great value ( usually).

I always marvel at how well this design has aged. NSX is a classic.

Oh yeah, and the Volk wheels work great on this car.

I love the NSX and yours is a great example of a tastefully modded one. Videos and more pics are needed. Welcome to CL, the ES also looks clean just finish up the tails and it wont look so weird LOL!!
