Acura NSX - The Hot One

The NSX You Always Lusted For And Could Never Get

Text By Jasper Chan, Photography by Andy Bui

Now that his prized NSX both looks and runs smooth, all that was left was the interior. There are steps to getting a girl and the first one is to have her notice you. Peng's NSX covered that with his bangin' exterior and not-so-common choice for a ride. The next step is to be prepared for them when they actually step into your car. You can't have a sweet car and have it be all shitty inside, right? Hot chicks ain't going to dig the ripped seats and cigarette burns, lemme tell ya. Being the smart man that he is, Peng chose a pair of red Recaro SRD seats with Sabelt Racing harnesses. The complete red and black ensemble was accented with a Momo Trek steering wheel and Mugen Racing Hub, RAZO carbon-fiber pedals, brushed aluminum dash (now that is tight) and Hayame floor mats. I must say the ignited push start is a pretty cool feature too. Hey girl, can you, um, push my button?

So let's re-cap here. We have a hot NSX that looks good inside and out and runs well, has the potential to nab every chicky off the street and could whip the ass of every other Honda out there. What could possibly be left to do? A sound system of course! Hello, you gotta have the honeys hear you bumpin' down the street. KS Autotek of Philly, Penn.(at which Peng is a manager now), installed this NSX's pristine Alpine sound and multimedia components complete with DVD player. They also laid down a custom center box with Rockford woofers. Now the chickenheads always turn and look!

Within two years from the purchase date, Peng completed this dream NSX and what you see before you today is that dream materialized. No stone was left unturned on performance or looks. This vehicle is no slouch either-it won first place in the Englishtown Race Spring 2002 for the 6-cylinder N/A class. The beauty of this car wasn't passed up either as it proved when it collected first place for Exotic Concepts, first place for Japanese Sports Car and first in Acura at Hot Import Nights, Import Eurasia, and Import Expression car shows. Shit, that's more trophies than a Hawaiian Tropics model! Peng had a lot of support and help along the way. He would like to thank his girlfriend Jenny for helping and supporting him with the car and he wants to give props to the guys at Carative & KS Autotek. Peng appreciates the support from Andy and all the ISS-Elite guys.

What's next for this NSX? Peng plans to turbo it and take it to a whole new level including a brand new look for the vehicle. Until then we'll be sure to keep our eyes up. As of now, however, Peng is content with his red-hot NSX and you can see him rolling with the ISS-Elite car crew. Do you think he misses his turbo Civic? I didn't think so either. Peng taught us all a valuable lesson: As you sit there dreaming about that hot chick that you always wanted, just remember that one day she can be yours! Or as Rod Schieder says, "You can do it!"
