French na1 berlina black project

[Laurent1475]

Hi Every one I'm Laurent and I'm the pride owner of a 1995 Berlina
Black NSX. I've done a few things since I've got it like a fully
rebuild engine and paintwork.

Bride japan Low Max carbon

[marknsx]

Many thanks. Which distributer did you buy from?

[Red3ullZz]

Nice job done so far

[Laurent1475]

Update from the NSX : I went to Hontec to Install my new exhaust system and luckily because they found out that my Damper Pulley was coming a parts and luckily I had a pulley shield installed a couple of month ago. The pulley was only 2.5 years old so all NSX owners should install a pulley shield, it will save your engine and a lots of money !!! But like always, Hontec had the part and the knowledge to fix it in the hour! What a great place!



Back to the good stuffs : I've dyno the car before and after the full exhaust system (Same day / same dyno).



- Full stock with stock cats : 277.3 hp @ 8000 rpm and 278 nm torque

- Full Pride System with sport cats and manifolds (headers): 290.7 @ 8000 rpm 292.4 nm torque



But best of all....... It sound AMAZING !!



Thanks to Mark @Pride exhaust for the great products and communication

Thanks To Jochem & Theo @ Hontec for taking care of my NSX like it should be !

Hi Laurent

My pulley was only a few years old as well when mine failed. As you said only for the pulley shield i could have been in bother.
bit worrying that these parts do not seem to be of the quality they used to be else there was a bad batch run.

It was Hontec who helped me out last year too

Nice guys there as you say

[Laurent1475]

Yes they're really friendly and knowledgeable about our NSXs and Honda in general.

PS: more mods to come !

[marknsx]

Laurent.
An excellent attempt at a modification. However, before doing any of that work why didn't you respray the car in RED leaving the roof black? It will go faster.
Also I hope that you have some LEDS ordered too. See Pride for a sensible use.:)

[Dragonlady]

Car looks stunning! What we need now is a video clip to here that new exhaust, sooner rather than later:)

[NSXGB]

The new wheels will set it off nicely ;)

[Laurent1475]

Still can't choose for my wheels ... but more to come soon!
