Oddly enough I haven't compiled a build thread for it yet though I spend so much effort on it! But it has a ton of mods, all of which I've done to it over the past 8 years so it intensely personalized. Here are a couple of pics in current state:

MBWorld Fanatic!
Nice, not to thread jack - but any power mods on the NSX? Science of Speed FTW! I had an SOS supercharged S2000 until this past March. They make quality stuff.

Thanks buddy!
Planning a turbo- it has a built motor with the usual intake, headers, exhaust plus larger injectors with engine management, tune, ported and polished intake manifold, etc. But the real secret is weight reduction and rotational weight reduction, it flies even in NA spec... Power to weight ratio is approaching 8lbs/hp already and after turbo it will be 5lbs/hp which is mclaren 12c numbers.
Kudos on the S2k, we had a SC one running with us at our regional event and it was seriously fast! Hondas always "need" more power and it really transforms them when they get it. I bet you miss that car dearly!

The NSX is like zoolander... It's not an ambiturner LoL. Right turns only as I always try to go up at 45 degrees so that means I have to go past any destinations and loop around. I'm actually getting a VRH kit for it.

Thanks- Actually happened to find it brand new on eBay from a vendor. There may be other vendors that sell Vorsteiner products that can get it for you if it's no longer on eBay anywhere.

I've bean meaning to post this thread for awhile now to answer some questions about the car, so here goes. It is a 2007 CLK550 that was built to focus on power to weight ratio. I believe the only option it has is the Harmon Kardon sound system. No nav, no rear sunshade, no heated seats, etc.- it is spartan. Now onto the mods in its current state:
Weight Reduction:
OEM hood replaced with VIS Carbon Fiber Hood
Spare Tire delete / Toolkit delete
Aluminum Sheet Metal trunk floor
Trunk Lid carpeting/trim removed
Center Console removed
OEM carpet removed and replaced with lightweight carpeting
Exterior:
Custom Widebody Front and Rear w/ Paint
CLK63 Front Bumper
CL63 Rear Bumper
Trunk Lid Spoiler
All chrome painted black
Wheels, Suspension, Brakes:
20" HRE P40s with 255 and 305 width tires
Bilstein PSS9 Coilover Suspension
Renntech GT BBK: 14.2" 6-piston Front, 13" 4-piston Rear
Power Delivery:
ALL NA 5.5L Motor + 7-speed transmission
Renntech Short Tube Headers
Renntech Dual Exhaust (Quad-tip)
Renntech ECU
Interior:
CLK63 Black Series Steering Wheel w/ Shift Paddles
Suede Headliner
Suede Accents
Renntech Badge on Ashtray Door
Estimated Weight: 3400 lbs
Estimated Power Output: 450 HP
The results of the weight reduction, forged wheels, wide tires, 7spd tranny, and big NA motor is incredible. It is easily as fast if not faster than a lot of BMW M and AMG cars, and turns too. I am very happy because it offers a very different experience that those cars don't offer along with it's unique mods and appearance.

i am wondering if an upgrade swap would be good since i have the v6 and i might have the balance shaft issue. but i do like the steering wheel and the bodywork!

Not sure if you needed to quote any/all the pics for that question 
That was on the car when I bought it so I couldn't tell you, but there is probably an answer on this forum or you may ask one of the forum experts such as Rudeney if you can't find it.

Thanks. Renntech didn't make the car as a special edition, it was a one off custom project car utilizing a heavy catalog of Renntech products.
