"life expectancy before major structural damage", according to he insurance institute, was 6 months anyway. Street racing is street racing and winning is all that counts. I made my car payments street racing and still had money to fix what I broke and upgrade. Better than working in the summer

I like the diffusor, does it work at all??

the "spats".....well, Ild pass on those
The diffuser will work once on. It's a copy of the NSX-R.
Why would you pass on the spats?
The spats have sat in my garage for nearly a year. I think they even out the lowered stance, otherwise the diffuser sits really low in the middle and the sides of the car sit very high.

I am planning on adding two rear spats and a lower (more aggressive) diffuser. These parts add about 7-8lbs of total wieght, but I don't care since I have taken out nearly 150lbs of wieght since buying the car a couple years ago. The two pics of the rear are stock and then with the sides spats and diffuser. I was using duct tape to hold al the pieces on and edited it out with photoshop - so if the paint looks like it does not match in spots.
Please let me know your thoughts before I start drilling holes in the car. I think the back end sat too high with stock valence. I like the lower look that is similar to newer sportcars.

I don't care about the wieght, I want to replace my plastic with Brushed Aluminum and then cover the A-Pillars and roof with leather to match the dash and doors.
I can not stand the corners Honda cut when producing the NSX. Cheap stereo, console trim, a-pillars, etc. all in a $90,000 car with 290hp. At least the seats are of excellent quality. I guess they had to make a profit somewhere, but why have an Integra's interior?
On the plus side lots of plastic does save weight.

Thanks Doug, for the B/W proofs and the Font!

OK, guys. Here's a couple more. I kinda was just playing with the hash marked one. If you like the idea of the hash-marks, I'll clean it up a bunch and post another for review. Can anyone tell what I did with the inner white area of the second one?



Is that a Fiero kit car on the inside? Are you trying to say every sportscar has the soul of a Pontiac?

I love the designs.

If using a siphon, you will need to develop a head on the line for suction. Since its coolant, I know I don't need to tell you to NOT use your mouth.

1) get a long enough piece of tubing that will go to the bottom of the tank and reach the bucket/tub you will drain into.
2) Fill the tubing up with fluid. Hold your finger tightly on the end of the tubing you will put into the bucket.
3) Insert other end of tubing into the tank.
4) The bucket must be lower than the tank. This will create a suction/draw.
5) Put other end of tubing (the one with your finger on it) into the bucket.
6) Release your finger and watch the fluid flow.

You made need to watch the top of the tube and move it around like a vacuum cleaner hose to the low point in the tank. Once you get air into the line, you will lose the suction and made need to resort to a turkey baster for the final bit, or remove the tank and dump whatever is left. Then install your new tank.

Don't get coolant on your paint!!! Clean immediately if you do!!!

When you refill, you may want to consider adding Water Wetter. It can help run a few degrees cooler.

hope that helps.
Thank you for the detailed info. It seems so obvious now! Now all I need is a nice day to do this.
