Thats had a fair few Yen thrown at it. ITB's, AP's, 3.5 conversion, etc. should be pushing 400 BHP?

02 plus front r conversion and it will be perfect IMHO. Sensibly priced when you consider the amount of £££ needed to get all that kit working. Seats too narrow.

Speak for yourself Mr Ary. :)

I did think to myself, they have spent bundles on the car, surely a set of Type-R seats would have finished the interior off perfectly.

all that work and it never ceases to amuse me that the boy racer engine torque strap is fitted in the wrong direction and is pretty much useless!

That lovely engine won't last long with no air filtering at all!

Nose/spoiler doesn't look right and I'm not fan of vented bonnets. Loosing the pop-ups would comprehensively ruin it :)

I actually quite like this conversion! Body kit looks good, nice colour, great brakes,
alloy wheels, zorst & looks very clean under too! Oh, not forgetting the engine!

I was wondering about that - is there a filter on the side air intake? ;)

Looks like many of the additional parts have come from the Revo-Tune.jp catalogue (http://revo-tune.jp/catalogue/NSX.php)

Those wheels and tyres might not survive driving on pot-holed roads though.....

Brakes alone cost 6,600GBP !!!

Now that is tempting... (although I don't like the kit). But add another 30% to get it on-the-road in England?

Anyone know if that's a worked-on 3.0/3.2 engine, or if it's the J35 engine that some USA NSXers swap in?

Looks like a C, not a J - they're SOHC

I didn't know that. Puts out more power with an SOHC than the C30/C32! Presumably more torquey than revvy?

Anyway, I see that the 385 PS option from that Japanese tuner is very spendy, as is their 3.5l. It does seem a cheap car for the work that's gone into it.

You can get the Toda conversion over here easily enough; very expensive though!

Love the mechanical mods, but the outside is a bit of a mess IMO. As said though, a comparative bargain.
