Thanks!
I have a Koyorad now but haven't tested it on track. Masiv makes a custom radiator for the NSX but you'd probably have to contact them directly for a quote.

Welcome back into the S2000. I feel as though this is #5 for you or something lol.

Your NSX is silver?!?! I thought it was red this whole time....

Congrats on that AP1.

Going to need:
-banjo bolts (baffle the oil pan while it's out)
-AP2 (or Ti) valve springs, retainers & keepers
-Seem weld front control arm area
-Larger radiator (AP1s run slightly hotter than AP2 due to the extra 1K RPMs)

Eventually, look at a front brake upgrade if you want your pads & rotors to last longer than 3-4 track days.

At a purchase price of $12k, all of that is still under $20k total.

Other than that, you're good to go. Happy driving. I had two consecutive years of 12-15 track days each year after i broke up with my GF (also got in 20+ days snowboarding both of those years)... Fun times

Sorry I'm late to the party. I assume we all came to the conclusion that the "logical upgrade to an S2000" is indeed a force induced/modified S2000?

Pretty much.... they always come back. This has been the case with me and S2000 #6 currently.

Wait, you sold the red '91 NSX and got a silver '91 NSX? Why is that? Also, let me know next time you sell an NSX - I may be interested and am local

Not me, never got a 2nd came close a few times though. Drove my friend's a while ago, felt so familiar. Can't deal with lack of torque anymore though.

He crashed his red one in the rain and he picked up another one soon after.

This will be my last though... The S2000 has been just that "familiar" car I can always run to when i get bored.
