Got a bottle of this today, a lot of the Honda guys are hopping on board showing good dyno results and having no negative side effects. A member on NSXprime did a back to back dyno test and showed a 5.3 whp/3.7wtq gain so I said why not!

It's and oil additive that was derived from a dry lubricant used in robotic arms in the space shuttle, reduces engine vibration and lowers friction. Good for high rpm motors.

Update:
The oil additive feels nice, the engine runs smooth and vtec engagement is much more distinct
The thermal gaskets were installed today
Also replaced the intake air temperature sensor, as 21 years of blowback has gummed up the original so I figured I'd replace it to get good, clean readings
I bedded the brake pads on the recently installed rear bbk, 8x successive 60 -> 15mph stops. Zero brake fade. The pedal stroke is actually longer due to the caliper volume but overall feel is good.
Replaced the transmission/diff fluid: 2 qts GM syncromesh, 1 qt GM syncromesh friction modified. Shifting is very smooth now and the diff engages much faster since it uses a wet style clutch pack

Next up:
I have a stubby antenna to replace the stock radio tower that's on it right now, just need to find time to do it
Going to replace the fuel filter since I have no clue if it's ever been replaced
Have a couple interior parts to install to replace some worn out ones
Adjust the e-brake so it engages sooner (it's only grabbing at the end of the stroke right now)

Near future:
Finally switching to a 350mm momo tuner wheel, it's the same style as the NSX-R wheel without the $700 price tag
Works bell short hub w/ quick release
Sparco buttons so I can retain my cruise control

Here's a quick shot I took the other day to show you the '02 style side skirts, I'll have more formal photos taken when I buddy gets some time off work

I may just have missed it, but what does it put down power wise? Definitely looks well put together.

I've yet to dyno, but similar builds are making around 250-270 at the wheels, depending on milage and how well it was put together (since the motors were hand made). It doesn't sound like much but I'm confident it could break into the 12's. The overall feel and balance is what makes this a fun car to drive. It's very well planted.

12s/low 13s sound about right.
Id like to take my car to the track one of these days and see if I can break into 12s as well.

Any plans to make more power eventually?
