I had my GSR painted back in December 2014.

Roughly 5 months ago I was installing my seats and I got bumped causing me to bump the car really bad and dent/scratch the quarter panel.

Finally getting it repaired and picking it up on Wednesday.

Before


Painter sent me this!

Got my GSR back today. Just finished buttoning her back up. Few more things to do and she's back in her prime. After I finished up I saw the opportunity to snap a few shots to practice my night car photography. I used my iPhone as a light.

Oh yeah... I swapped my USDM tail lights back over from the GSR to the Type R. I love them on the R much better!

GSR back together and cleaned up. Only thing I don't have installed are the SSR Type C's.

Just spent too much at the stealership for mainly bolts & nuts to replace on my ITR & GSR.

Trying to slowly eliminate the Downstar B Series Engine Kit I put on my GSR. I hate the allen style bolts, biggest regret ever.

Also replacing all the fender, fuse box, etc bolts... Some stuff you can't see but I always think about.

List if you are interested!

Happy Holidays!

Today I had the chance to meet & hangout with my friend Jayson who is home visiting family and friends!

Here are some photos of the R and his mint 1991 NSX.

Cars look awesome! Looking at your ITR makes me miss mine.


BTW, I spy Hawaii license plates. Did your friend just move? That NSX looks like one I've seen rolling around my neighborhood a few months back.

Spotted this really clean S2K on my street. Not sure who the owner is.

Thank you!

That's my friend Jayson, he's in the Air Force and he's home visiting before he deploys for Germany. He purchased the NSX earlier this year in Hawaii & recently had it transported to California.

His instagram is: @jznsn2u

Was driving home from my Dads and the bolt for my A/C Tensioner Pulley snapped and caused my A/C belt to fly off, the pulley got stuck and made my PS belt come off. Scared the f'ck out of me! LOL.

Luckily I didn't lose the pulley. Went back to my Dads house and put the PS belt back on for now. Need to take out the bolt stuck inside the A/C Compressor bracket & replace it.



You can kinda see the rest of the bolt! Lol

I've been thinking about upgrading my calipers on the GSR. My main choice is NSX calipers.

If you've upgraded to these before can you help me out?

Do I need the NSX caliper brackets or will they bolt up to ITR caliper brackets?

Do I need to run any washers like Spoon Twin-Block Calipers?

Any help is appreciated, thanks!

The nsx, legend and ITR calipers are all interchangeable. Use the ITR bracket on the NSX caliper and it will work just fine. I used T25 (25mm) brackets with legend rotors on the MG ZR160 rotors I ordered for my CRX with DA hubs. the ZR160 rotors are 282x25mm but are 4x100 and have a 64.1mm centerbore. I would've done the same if I could've located a set of 1st gen NSX calipers.

Also good luck finding a set of NA1 calipers, I could only find the later NA2 calipers that are for a 300mm rotor.

I believe Danny from across the pond, DannyDC2 on IG, said that the NSX calipers are rear brake bias.

Happy New Year everyone!

Playing around with my SSR's. The original color is gold and I love it but I wanted to switch it up to a darker color. I plasti dipped 2 black and 2 grey. Still haven't decided on what I like better so I've left it like this for now lol.

Also met another R owner, Peter. Great meeting you and hopefully see you again soon!
