Two things. Tein suspension is the most overrated thing in the world. HSDs would have been your best bet http://www.hsdcoilovers.com/ . Second, RPF1s are NOT forged rims lol. They are cast, but use Enkei's MAT technology. I don't know why you said you had a hard time finding rims either, NSXs are 5x114.3 which is like the most mass produced bolt pattern ever.

Other then that it looks good. I've looked into getting one myself, but I like being able to drive my cars year round and the maintenance that would come with a 20 year old supercar is scary lol.

actually KW v3 coilovers would be THE coilover to get for this car but i dont care to spend $2400 on a set. and my bad on the forged part, they were purchased a while ago, honest mistake. and yes the 5x114.3 bolt pattern is VERY common, finding the correct offset and width was the hard part since the front and rears have to be different: having a wheel that satisfies both sizes was the hard part.

and to be honest, i drive it almost every day and maintenance is cake. you get honda reliability, the engine is easily good for 170k+. just make sure the timing belt and water pump are changed every 60k or so and the clutch as needed.
you wont be disappointed

long live the "everyday supercar" :)

HSD is extremely comparable at a much cheaper price. If they make an application for your car its almost always the most logical route. Finding rims/tires really isn't that difficult, tirerack even carries abunch of properly sized rims. You could have gone alot more aggressive than you did.

I wouldn't want to drive it in winter still lol. They weren't designed with salt in mind haha.

why not?
"The NS-X was the first production car to feature an all-aluminium monocoque body,[4] incorporating a revolutionary extruded aluminium alloy frame, and suspension. The use of aluminium in the body alone saved nearly 200 kg in weight over the steel equivalent while the aluminium suspension saved an additional 20 kg" -Wikipedia

aluminum does not rust :)
