Has a project ever really gotten away from you!


This is incredible... and one of my favorite cars for sure.

Who didn't watch Magnum P.I. and want to drive one of these ??
 
Just a quick update. Got the NSX back from Science of Speed. Full engine rebuild with upsizing of engine from 3.0 to 3.2, tons of mods, and a new larger Kenne Bell supercharger. Went from 270hp to 420 rwhp. To say it made a big difference is an understatement. It's a rocket ship now. The Ferrari 358 project is moving (albeit slowly). I will spend much more time on it in a couple of weeks. I am fabricating a bunch of panels since I had to take a different approach to the A/C. A few pics of the NSX below.

Wow, great to know there are people crazier than me out there. Where ya at Ray? We need you to chime in and make us all feel better. Please, include private jet expenses when you calculate the cost of that 270+ mph run. ;)

Not sure yet, but thanks for the compliments. Forgot to mention that we completely reworked the suspension including KW Variants, and I started to do a close ratio 5 speed build, but decided to buy a new 6 speed and had it installed. All sanity went out the window.

Just got back from a couple of weeks in Italy. Stopped off at the Ferrari Museum and took a bunch of pics. Check out the multi disc clutch.
