te37's?? no way chris then his car will be even more like mine :nono: bad enough he got a 9 as it is hehe!!! :))
 
Some real nice touches there man, loving the NSX wheel nuts and stripped/strutted/caged interior. Agree on the painted parts in the bay though, what are your plans for them now?

What type/brand of cage is that?

Thanks mate.

The cage is cusco safety 21.

The engine bay plans are spoon rad bracket in black. Remove the aircon so that bracket goes anyway then replace the battery tie one with either a ali one or mine repowdercoated in black. The strut brace i quite like with the blue ends but i will assess that once the other changes are made. If not just black.

The little brackets will stay blue. :nice:
 
Nice man, I don't think I'm far off getting a cage myself, just need to decide if I wanna go through the pain of getting a weld in or not! (I think price wil probably be the deciding factor though...:angry:)

My vote goes for powder coated black!!

Have to let me know how you get on with removing the air con - it's not far down my 'to do' list!!

Aircon is a piece of psis! Took it off my old EK4. Do you still want swap those plug covers?

I love having a cage only issue is i notice the extra weight in the corners so i'm going to change the spring rates on my shocks to cope.

Will most probably be powdercoated black. Some of it.
 
Fantastic Ian! Im more then impressed with the progress, you move quick! lol

This is going to become one hella EK9...... Oh and that cage/interior comb is stunning, im jealous.

Thank you.

The NSX nuts where £101 for all 20 and they are PERFECT fitment exactly the same as the EK9 ones.

EK9 ones are £65

All from Honda
 
when you bringing round the parts so i can rebuild your cylinder head then fanny?
 
i really envy u guys. from where i come it is illegal to installa a roll cage.
i desperately want to installa one but i'll get in trouble with the law.

god !!! why is life so unfair.. :(

oh btw... ijwhiteman .... ur car is just awesome...
p.s. u might want to pad the roll cage where it is nearest to your head . looks like danger to me there. my 2 cents
