kelsodeez Posted February 13, 2009 Share Posted February 13, 2009 okay, so here is my dilemma. i have spent the past two years building a spoon themed honda fit. it turned out really well. so well that i am getting the cover of modified magazine and people trying to sponsor me everywhere i turn. so here is my problem. my plan all along was after i was done with the fit, i was going to build a 240z with a rb26dett for a show/track car for myself. but last week, i got an offer to build another honda with a full j's racing sponsorship and since they have never built an NSX, thats what i want to do. i pitched them my idea for the car and they loved it. every part for the car will be comped except the car itself. now i only have enough money saved up to either build a 240 or buy the NSX and have all the parts for free. my heart is with the 240 but building this NSX could possibly turn into a career for me. i am torn and i have no idea what to do. what would you do?? thanks for your input.

jimbob_racing Posted February 13, 2009 Share Posted February 13, 2009 Dude, you have to do the NSX. They are totally badass and are the next car on my list to buy. Do it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skib Posted February 13, 2009 Share Posted February 13, 2009 do the NSX if it launches your career then youl be more than set for the Z build a little bit farther down the road Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stealth-Z Posted February 14, 2009 Share Posted February 14, 2009 You should hook up with Jack, the creator of the Primadonna Z's. He has a NSX and has been thinking about doing something to it. He is located in the South San Francisco area. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evan Purple240zt Posted February 14, 2009 Share Posted February 14, 2009 Right place, right time. Wrong time for a z. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kelsodeez Posted February 14, 2009 Author Share Posted February 14, 2009 haha seems that the general consensus is to do the NSX. i am still debating. i had my heart set on a 240 and i know that the 240's are getting more rare as the days go by but i know that if i build the NSX, people will take notice and it will open up many doors of opportunity for me. i think my biggest problem with the situation is that i am scared that if i build the NSX, my heart wont be in it and it wont turn out as nice as if i did what i had been planning on doing.

RigilKent Posted February 14, 2009 Share Posted February 14, 2009 i would say do the NSX and maybe halfway through you have enough money again and can just get the Z and that way you have one there but arent working on it yet. If you are concerned with rarity. but really I would do the NSX to start a carrer. You have to look at it like if it turns into a career at some point you will probably have a project that isnt your favorite but has to be done. get the NSX out of the way launch a career and then come back to you Z Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavyZ Posted February 14, 2009 Share Posted February 14, 2009 I vote NSX. Everything is right for that car. Do the Z later, man. Listen to the Admin or I'll ban you Davy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jtmny1999 Posted February 14, 2009 Share Posted February 14, 2009 I say do the NSX, once its completed and you have the fame, swap everything into a S30 shell hehe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hoov100 Posted February 14, 2009 Share Posted February 14, 2009 i love the NSX, do it and drop in turbo VH!!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kelsodeez Posted February 14, 2009 Author Share Posted February 14, 2009 hahaha okay okay fine! ill do the nsx!! that is if the meeting goes well with the president of j's racing in a few weeks. here is my plan for the car so far. -buy an NSX-R engine and trans from japan. send it to j's and have them build it for a high boost application (low compression, forged internals, yadda yadday)to handle twin turbo -british racing green paint job w/ flat black j's racing decal scheme (to make the sponsors happy) -flat black volk re30's -j's racing big brake kit -rear body work to delete the stock wing and install a j's 3d fx wing -titanium exhaust with dual j's dolphin dick mufflers i know i know. kinda ricey. but thats how they like it in japan. oh and dont you guys tell anyone my plans for this car hahaha. i probably shouldnt be posting them but oh well. nothings for sure just yet. also, what sucks is j's makes NOTHING for the nsx so i am going to have to use bits and pieces from other cars to make it. at least my fabrication skills are up to par.

kelsodeez Posted February 14, 2009 Author Share Posted February 14, 2009 that is very nice!! but i think i would be building an NA1. that is a NA2. as nice as NA2's are, i just dont have the 60 to 80 grand that it takes to buy one. i only have 26k in the bank. enough to buy a well kept 91-98 nsx.
