    So fuel lines are done. Even was able to use the fuel pulsation damper off of the J30a1. Had the lines custom made and best part was that they were able to use most of the old parts. Total cost was 16 euro. The damper and return line (Fixed to the head cover with metal brackets)...

    Update: Can now say that the first startup was successful. Only problem is i have no video to post and it was for just 10 sec as the exhaust was mostly missing (loud as hell) and i did not have MTF in the transmission. So as not to damage the transmission the test was short. The test however...

    DH`s 2000 coupe

    Well i can make a list and take picture of the custom part after i have finished them all. Funny thing is that did you guys know that a NSX engine is a direct bolt-on to any J and C transmission (C27)....apart from the flywheel that it is dual clutch vs single but the fly wheel is mostly...

    Thx Red. It has been and still is a headache most of the times. Sometimes even so much that have thought about giving up but as soon as i get something done or fitted it is just is enough to give a boost of motivation to keep going. Also i know that once everything is in place, tested and the...

    Re: RR's 3.2L '99 EX-L Coupe 6MT That extra extension really makes the car look nice. Planing on doing something similar on my ride as soon as i get to work on the body. If not a secret what is it off of ?

    Going to wake this thread up again and give you guy´s a small update. Passenger side mount has been remade too many times but now is finally done. It will be as a support like on the NSX. At first i wanted it to be more of main mount but will leave it to just hold the engine up. The stress...

    Small update: Not going as fast as i wanted but still getting stuff done. Most of the sensors have been re-pinned on the ecu side. Just sorting out some extras and looking into some strange extras the NSX has. Service manual says that no matter if manual or A/T or even if it does not have...

    Small update. Mounts are done for now. Still need a bit work but will be able to do that after have finished with the wiring, exhaust and axles. Then will be able to lift the engine out for the last time and paint the engine bay. Wiring is turning out to be more of a challenge. Lots of dif...

    Not the best welding i have done but it will work: The CO2 kept burning up the surface and turning it brown. Might have regulated it wrong. Covered the welds with body mastic. Will paint as soon as i have finished the rest of the mounts. Just looks so right. :love: Fans will need to...
