Yeah. That's a lot of CF. I wonder how much that car weighs in at, and how much weight he saved?

Not a whole lot, considering the NSX is made of aluminium. Probably a hundred pounds or so.

There ya go:

Anyways, as for the car: NICE! Love the look of it and for sure not to forget the weight reduction. Though it was made out of aluminium originally, it has to be a LOT lighter than how it was before.

that's one sick NSX... it's prolly worth $200,000+ with those mods...

Niiiiiiice! should have went with a widebody tho

Interesting. Wonder how much he spent on that.

The 1996 NSX isnt all that heavy, weighing in 3066lbs, its average I would say. With all the carbon fiber it would probably be around the weight of a stock NSX-R which is 2800 lbs. All that carbon fiber it would probably reduce 300-400 lbs, in that case around 2700 lbs is my estimate.

The 2002 NSX weights in 3153 LBS, thats the Acura verison but yeah, its not that heavy.

Rumple: Its not ugly at all, at least not to me. Well to each their own I guess.

Great car! Nice pictures.

Exterior: 👍
Interior: 👎

And not to forget the windows which are most likely acrylic now. I could be wrong though but if someone spends so much cash on a whole carbon fiber body, then why not on acrylic windows?
Another thing are the magnesium rims. As some people here for sure know, magnesium is one of the lightest metals. And there is so much going on, that this car is wiithout much doubt much lighter than it was in its original state.

What's with the gas door and the inside of the door?!

He could have gone all out.

Needless to say, it's stupid.

Nice, but I liked that all C/F HKS Evo 8 better.

 

[pimp racer]

No carbon fiber rims?

 

[eightfivezero]

Magnesium is lighter as far as I know. But I already saw carbon fibre rims!

It is lighter, I believe they use those types of wheels on F1 cars.
I like the carbon fiber look, If I had the loot I would make a carbon fiber 300zx.

Yeah, well if I had the money i'd make a carbon fiber house.

As for the NSX, it looks nice but I prefer the Marga Hills kits. I think someone posted a cf one in the imports thread.
