As we get older and progress in life, our horizons broaden ever more. You start out to see things in a different perspective and if all goes well, you also begin to benefit from the finer things in life. If you return back and look at your high school yearbook to see just what the girl/guy you experienced a crush on looked like, you’d probably laugh at yourself. You probably think about what you were thinking and after that come to the realization that you simply grew up and got to see more of the world. The people or things you have an attraction to check different on account of your horizons grow exponentially with the age. You grew up just wanting to have your own room away from your siblings and when you reach your 20s, you see yourself seeking to one day own your own home. The requirement and want to get more just comes with theUsing this automotive hobby of ours, things are significantly the same. You start off with a vehicle that you think is the best car then and ever it becomes clear that there is more out there than merely your first ride. Some will keep with their first vehicles, but, in those cases, you’re probably keeping them more for sentimental value than holding onto the idea that it will be the sole car you own. Many begin with a hand-me-down car to create and then you later buy the car that you really wanted. After that, you discover yourself with the adequate funds to move onto your next build. You also learn more about the technical side of modding cars and are unveiled in new parts that you couldn’t afford if you were a younger kid. Like the rest in life (hopefully), your ability to modifyNo matter how old you get, there is certainly one car that will definitely be a dream for the growing majority, as Honda enthusiasts: Honda’s supercar, the NSX. Inside our adolescence, it was actually the impossible dream and even today, due to their value, becoming an NSX owner is still not within the grasps of many. It’s crazy to think that the NSX was first introduced in 1992, and two decades later, people still marvel at them. Some are lucky enough to have owned one in their lifetime yet your average Honda enthusiast is only able to stand there and drool as one cruises by in a local event or show. Guys like Sean Der are the fortunate few who are able to say they may have owned an NSX with their lifetime. Actually, Sean has owned three. Yes, you read that correctly, Sean is now on his third NSX chassis. Before you cry the overused cliche, needs to be nice, permit us to tell you a little bit more about Sean. Sure, he has worked very hard to acquire them, even though he has been rich with NSXs. He is an excellent real estate agent and co-owner of a brokerage in his mid 40s who not just has owned a trio of NSXs, but also almost every other car you may have dreamed of. RX-7, M3, Audi S5, Nissan GT-R, et cetera, et cetera, take your pick, he’s probably stuffed one into his garage at one time or another.

The NSX is a chassis that he’s always get back to, however. He has always had a passion for cars, but he tells us that this NSX is forever a popular. After owning and modifying the other two, he set out to build his NSX coup de grace-one that defines his vision of the things the ultimate NSX would be. I really wanted my NSX to be different and stand out in a vehicle show scene, Sean explains. When I found this chassis, it was an ideal one to build because it was incredibly clean and well-maintained. I knew this would be the car that I would set out to dominate the car show scene with. To say that he was financially stable would probably be an understatement so finding this NSX wasn’t terribly difficult. It just needed to meet his high standards. The people he had associated with his build also was required tomotor and kit was built with a reputable Acura service technician who was also the original owner of this NSX. He was extremely meticulous and documented every step of the motor build so I trusted him. The type of turbo he used was even safer because it is able to achieve a decent amount of power at lower boost than other turbochargers of the size, Sean says.

The PTE T4/T67 turbine finds a home in the rear half of the NA1 using a C30A engine that has been completely blueprinted and balanced. The whole motor continues to be refreshed inside and out with forged Wiseco pistons inserted into the block to handle boost pressure. Both cylinder heads have been resealed with new parts and inside sits nitrate-coated intake valves combined with Inconel exhaust valves to better sustain heat. Comptech exhaust manifolds replace the dated factory headers and from the water pump to the standard of seals has also been renewed. Fuel delivery to the new beefy boost setup comes via 630cc Siemens injectors delivered via a Walbro pump. The five-speed transmission that helps deliver power to the wheels is a-new assembly featuring an Exedy Hyper Single clutch and Sciencecontinues to be completely reimagined. The factory lines still exist nevertheless the entire body is bulked up with aerodynamic steroids in the form of a FX Motor Development eight-piece widebody kit. The added room in the wheelwells from the FX kit allows Sean to house double-staggered VIP Modular VX410 wheels. The front is an 18×9.5 wheel, and the rear is a staggering (no pun intended) 12.5 inches wide! To give it a nonconventional appearance and touch, the complete car continues to be wrapped in 3M Satin Pearl White. The satin finish gives the deep red coating on the VIP Modular wheels that perfect contrast. The red hue also transfers over to the interior where the seats, door panels, and adjoining pieces supplynot to be jealous of Sean. The guy has probably owned more cars than many people ever will and has assembled a pretty remarkable NSX. We should all keep in mind that he worked very hard to reach where he is today, and he is also one of many rare few who is still very much into modding Hondas in his 40s. He is a superb example of exactly what is to come inside our future years, though he doesn’t exactly fit into the demographic of import enthusiasts. We can all hope to be into this hobby of ours when we get older, and who knows, maybe some of us can finally get an NSX of the own. No less than we can continue to dream, right?
