Default Cars and Coffee Meet 7/21/07 - NSX-R Conversion inside!

I didn't take too many pictures because I go there all the time, but I took some that I thought you may like. The NSX-R is a 2002 and he welded in a hardtop IIRC.

Nice pics OC 335i. But I can't believe how clean that Porsche 356 is...

OC 335i,

Your car looks great! After all these years, I still think LM's are perfection.

The NSX-R clone also has a bored out 3.8 litre engine, putting out close to 400 at the flywheel.

I guess you know Ramon at Niguel Motors also. He's a great guy and one of the few knowledgeable NSX mechanics who won't charge an arm and a leg like most of the other NSX shops in SoCal.

Overclocker,

I wouldn't be surprised if the 356 is a repro. There's a shop that produces them down here, and they use an exact mold for the body to produce a near identical kit.
