i hate the exhaust also! dont worry it will be getting changed for a blitz nur spec, which looks more like this

interior has a couple bits to go in like white leather gear and handbrake gaiters and a kokuyama carbing gear knob, (im the only one in the uk to have one lol i checked :D ) and a couple more greddy gauges, then just after xmas will have apexi powerfc, filters, front mount and the nur spec with silenced mid section cos trust me they are to loud without a silenced mid section lol! then coil overs, wheels, and look at a 99 spec front bumper, 99 spec rear lights, despoiler... some feed skirts, and a rear diffuser i think thats about it for the outside except for a carbon oe bonnet and carbon light covers!

ha bash i spent a good 10 mins scrubbing the little light above the exhaust because it was covered in soot from the flames :)

Not my cup of tea at all, but it does look nice.

Need to see/hear some vids of it though!!

MASSIVE EDIT!!!!

^^^ That one there, B10 LUM, was the one I raced in my Evo. The noise it made was unreal! I had my window down and it nearly made my ears bleed!

Love it, the rear seats were an option iirc (that's what I was told)

rear seats i think were just on weather they decided to chuck them in or not though i think all type r r1's like mine came with them, im gonna take them out and stick the mazda storage boxes in which look like this

also want some of the type rz carbon kevlar seats like these...

lovely car.
How much are these to rebuild? Rotor tips i mean? Is it the kind of thing you'd attempt yourself?

there are dvd's and online streaming vids on how to do it, and a fair few people do it themselfs, it does seem pretty easy, but tbh when it goes i will just get it done elsewhere, you need to take in to account housing damage etc and then you need to buy new ones, if the housing is ok, then rebuild with a street port is 1500 ish... that includes removal and fitting and remap after run in....

a full reubuild needing new housings rotors, shaft etc is around 3-4k...

mine had a rebuild not long ago and was a full rebuild, new housings and rotors...

gotta remember these engines burn oil as well as fuel, there is a pump that injects oil in to the housing to burn it, so if u run low on oil ur shagged... though tbh there is no excuse they run on mineral oil as synth clogs up the rotars, and 5l of mineral even at halfrauds is like 10 quid, so 10 quid every 3k miles is nothing tbh, keep an eye on coolant, and they are dead simple cars, change the plugs once a year, and use good fuel in it... 95 ron means det and rebuild time lol!

i find it hard to understand why people dont like them lol i think the body shape and design is stunning! also the handling of the car is immense it has perfect 50:50 weight distribution, mid mounted engine, the suspension is stupidly well settup, ok its not economical but its fast and goes round corners better than most cars i have driven....

ahh well i know its not every ones cup of tea but i love it :) simple things on it like the door handles (inside and out) i think are cool, boot is f**king stupid but less said about that the better (my mums new mx5 can fit more in the boot!!) there are no pockets inside none in the doors and the glove box can fit 2 cd's in it lol there is a little "ash tray" behind the gear stick, looks pretty big, you open it and its half an inch deep and has an inch square opening lol its pathetic! drivers door card has a little pocket under the arm rest, but yet again, pretty pointless!

however its to drive not to store stuff in! it gets so many looks! more so than my 200 ever did!

Looks great. Personally i would want to keep it pretty stock, considering it is a Type R and not just a normal one. I'd defo get those seats, the carbon Recaros from the NSX-R are £3k each!

Being the loudest/lowest/fastest has already been done, i'd just have one in mint condition personally.

I just find the car looks very ''1990s macho man'' ish. Just don't like the look, the image... anything really! lol

Its good we all have different tastes though, its what makes the world go round.

yeh tbh if i do any body work it would just be a 99spec front bumper and feed skirts which are just some small flat under sill skirts... with some nice wheels...

the nsx recaro's are the same as the rx7 ones, really nice... so if u wanna loose the ones in your nsx u know where to donate them too lol!

i dont want it loud hence the silenced midpipe but do want some tasty engine mods to make it a bit quicker! 350-400bhp would be nice!

but only going for high end parts, im gonna be a propper badge ***** on this car :)

Very good to drive handling wise, although I know quite a few people who don't like the how the engine 'drives' compared to a normal piston engine.

Pretty light for what they are as well I think, I'd like one as a toy :)

See a few round here, a mate bro used to work with the guy who runs that Dragon performance place.

dragon performance's rex they use for drags is MAD! inlet on the turbo is bigger than a cd lol!

yeh its a much different drive! i kept forgetting how far it revs, and how comfortably it will sit at 5k and not get bothered, i was shifting at 5k as it sounded right, then you realise you have 8.5k to play with lol, tbh on the stock twins it tails off power wise just after 7k but god it screams!
