'97 Acura NSX-T
Being an NSX, I don't have much planned for the motor-the last thing I need is going the forced induction route on a high-comp VTEC engine and having another project dead in the water (Lord knows I have enough of them). With mods limited mostly to light bolt-ons, I'm being very selective with what goes on the car, sticking with streetable mods that increase performance. With that in mind, I went with Falken RT-615 tires and Volk RE30s (17x7.5, +43 offset front; 18x9.5, +35 rear). The 615s offer great grip at an affordable price and the forged RE30s gave an extra inch of rim (stocks run 16-inch front and 17-inch rear), while dropping overall weight! Each rear wheel shaved 2.65 pounds in unsprung weight. Look for details on the project soon.

It's a little difficult to tell from this crappy snapshot, but you're looking down on the third passenger-side axle I've installed in Project DC2 in the last two months-the two before it had a nasty habit of slipping out of the transmission at random, keeping me from trekking to Frisco for the Wekfest meet. Fortunately, East-Coaster Sean Bradford flew out to scoop coverage (p. 14), and you can read about how I remedied my problem in a blog dated April 7th, 2010, on importtuner.com. Turns out not all aftermarket axles are created equal . . .

Deciding to take a relaxing weekend to catch up on some much needed sleep, I managed to crawl out of bed right before dawn to perform a routine coolant flush in preparation for the hot summer months quickly approaching.
