That CR-NSX blows my mind!! Good to see it can be done! I was very interested in the NSX subframe and suspension also, however the cost of getting it would have put my project budget past my means
. Great project, keep up the innovation!
Its funny you should mention the older MR2, when building my Sol I've often gone to the wreckers to get some inspiration and ideas from them. Infact I will be using the MR2 throttle cable! I'm not too crazy with body work yet, but the sidescoop on the older and newer mid engine cars look great - so once I go to get it repainted I may consider that style for sure.
I'll post more pics today of the intake tube and scoop, shift mechanism and ebrake mechanism if I get time to mount them.
Thank you everyone for your enthusiasm!</TD></TR></TABLE>
I went and bought a 91 MR2 about a month ago. Blown motor, very clean body, 71k miles for $900. I couldnt resist! Its still sitting here, anyone want it? Its the turbo model...
sorry for the OT, very nice projects going on here!

Re: Gemini Project: Mid engine RWD H22 Turbo Del Sol (9d DA6 TEG)
New pics of functioning shifter assembly and a short video of how it works.
This piece has been months in the making, so I'm happy just to get it functional. Not quite finished it yet though, mostly cosmetic work left to complete.
Enjoy!
Video (right click, save as) of the assembly in motion - 1.56mb digital camera video, divx encoded
Thanks all for your interest and support!
Next project - The wiring harness

I can't get over how easy you make this look! Now all you need is to set up some four wheel steering! j/k... bump to see some more progress!

Re: (tihul)
Thanks everyone for your words of encouragement!
Its been raining constantly for over a week so progress has been delayed a bit. I'll post an update featuring the custom wiring harness later this week
Picked up a set of 2005 RSX Type S (17x7 45 offset) rims today! Now I just need some shoes for them..

Yes, the PCD is the same as the ITR, and centerbore is too!

K in a RWD Del sol? Sounds interesting, but I'm quite happy to stick with my H-series motors. Not knocking the K series, just my personal preference. I'm a prelude owner at heart I guess haha..
Thanks again to all those who have contributed questions and comments, feel free to ask anything you would more information on.
