The Aural Bliss Of Five Honda HSV-010 GTs Warming Up At Suzuka


Here's more video of five, count 'em, five, Honda HSV-010 GTs practice laps at Suzuka. It's almost ruined by watching it. A better option? Letting the four videos run, closing your eyes and drowning yourself in the aural sex.

Ken Fujii’s Widebody NSX: Postscript

February 11, 2010 by Justin Karow

Ken dropped us a line to show the recent additions to his crazy NSX. Apparently he’s still not done yet…



The most obvious change has been the “rear bumper side canard spoilers” which replaced the previous pods and curved FRP sections. Ken says the new side canard spoilers match the front fenders more closely now and, if luck has anything to do with it, slightly improve downforce! Actually that’s just a joke I had with Ken about the new additions, they’re purely a cosmetic update.











Once again Yourou-san at Car Craft was called on to do the work at his small workshop, which I’m told has recently completed a very angry widebody Toyota Soarer packing very close to 1000hp… We’ll be following that one up for sure!

A bundle of minor upgrades such as new electric seat rails and wiring, reupholstered Sparco seats and replacing the battery with a larger unit has kept Ken busy for a while since our photo shoot a few months back, but the biggest change has to be the big brake upgrade. Ken had a Biot Offset Brake kit installed with 332mm slotted rotors (with gold bell housings) and Project Mu HC+ pads up front, while the rear received slightly larger 342mm slotted units with the same Project Mu HC+ pads.







Ken says the new offset brake kit is so much more effective than the previous set up that he can complete three 15 minute runs at Central Circuit and not encounter any problems when the old set up gave up and needed a break. (there’s a pun in there somewhere…) Ken also says that it’d take someone with a lot of courage to reach the limits of the Biot kit as it pulls the car up happily even when making big stops from over 250km/h.

That’s not all though! There’s more work to be started shortly but we’ll have to wait and see what that involves.

There's entirely too much going on with that NSX. Needs to be clean like Rick's from s2ki.



To go along with his IS-F and M3

Wish I had that kind of money ^^^

I hope all the parts on that NSX are functional because it looks hideous

It is functional. I just don't know what kit that is. I've never seen it.

Nevaaaaaaaarrrrrrr.

I remember when I was about to buy my first car (Bout 10 yrs ago ), I almost got my hands on a '91 Civic Si. I thank God that I missed it by one day. I cringe at the thought of what I might have become.

AKA -no more functional than what was on there. Its an ugly NSX if ugly had anything to do with it...

I prefer the clean white one S2KtoFT86 posted.
