Looking good, Johnny. Keep the build pictures coming.

Are the CF4 calipers noticeably larger than the CB7's? I have seen the NSX rear calipers and they look like they could fit with an aftermarket bracket or bracket adapter.

The CF4 calipers say 11CL on them and the pistons are
about 2mm lager in diameter than stock ones.
I have custom made adapters for the NSX rear calipers.

[Jarrett]

How much did those adapters run you?

[g7kobayashi]

How much did those adapters run you?

About $100 if I remember correctly.

Wow. What an awesome car to start with. That 5 lug conversion and those wheels make it look like it came that way. Very nice progress with the audio too!

[g7kobayashi]

Been busy at work and only have this done.



It's for the DRL, use the RZ11-126 relay.

Works like this:

loving it! nice detail, especially on the calipers. I like the wheels and steering wheel. Tan interior is an interesting choice with white, but can't knock it.

I'm going to swap the rims into the ITR's
and that's why I painted the calipers in red.

[Jarrett]

Yeah Mike, the white Accord base models in Japan even came with brown interior. I'll send you some pictures later. It's actually pretty cool!

[g7kobayashi]

In Taiwan, most white CBs came with dark blue interior
and only the 93 "Special Edition" came with tan leather interior.
The door panels have the same design with the SE models in the US.

[Mike1357]

Check you out! Snazzy NSX brakes and some ITR wheels. I like where this is going!

[g7kobayashi]

This thread hasn't been updated for a long time...
Here's some pics I took with my cellular phone today.


ITR rims on, intersections on.




NSX calipers on.


The mirror covers were swapped to DB's.


Power seat from V6 C Accord.

Great work Johnny! Now I'm jealous.

Water started to leak on mine now.

My first thought literally was HOLY FUCK! I love how clean the white is on your car. Would you be willing to sell it to me as it sits?:P LOL. How much did you pay for it?
