how would you open the bonnet if it's fixed to it, and the pipes go through the lamps which dont rise with the bonnet?
nice work as usual tho.

access to the top of the shock struts and torsion bar for adjustment for various track setups?
all the fuses and electrics are in the front as well as the break fluid pots, power steering pots and water top up for coolers.
this image doesnt show the strut brace but you can see where it would go.

and even if you could mount the IC like that it'd be pointless because of the ridiculous turbo lag. good luck even being able to run pipes from the turbo to the front end of the car and back.

and a homebrewed NSX? most NSX drivers wouldnt consider their cars to be backyard 'dorifto' specials. IMO, a 240SX, E30 or AE86, etc. would be more appropriate.

on the other hand, good execution.

Good job.But if you look closer you'll see that the front bumper is off center,also the (inside)intercooler or radiator,numberplate.The hood intercooler looks like it is flying in the air,so adjust the contrast and lightness.Otherwise good chop.I was expecting more from you lol.

"I was expecting more from you" sorry lmao i dont do this sorta thing to live up to expectations.

i dont know about everybody else but it looks straight as a dye to me. i look forward to the update.
as for the "I was expecting more from you" quote, i think the magority of us do this for the fun and we'r not looking for acceptance from anyone.

PREACH BROTHER!! lol

nice chop like every1 else hsa sed dont like the intercooler idea but it is a good chop, 1 thing u need to keep in mind is an intercooler needs air passing through it to help cool where as yours wuldnt as it is flat on the bonnet. but it is kool maybe putting the intercooler on the actual bonnet and having a scoop or sumin goin to it.

Haha, Im suddenly taken back to 1974 and Bad Companys song:
Good Lovin gone Bad, only the lyrics have changed.

"Good Choppin gone Bad,
yeah yeah yeah yeah .
Good-
Choppin gone bad.
Good choppin gone bad...
and Baby im a bad man, now now."

Ace I think this is destined to make it into my "Good work gone bad" thread!
