Aaron, no worries. The NSX has to be one of the largest let downs ever once you drive it. Absolutely a fucking turd. I seriously couldn't believe how terrible it was.

Wait, what? Why? Not enough umph?

It didn't do anything right. If I wanted boring and fast, I'd buy a 300ZX or a mid-90's Supra. Both are WAY more fun to drive than the NSX. Then you add a crap interior and it was a joke.

Was so frustrated I went out and drove a Corvette afterwards which bested it in every way....and I despise the Corvette.

I never was a fan of the NSX. Even looks wise, I don't really like them.

Is it all Corvettes that you despise or just the newer ones? And why the dislike?

It doesn't make power until over 6000 or so. It's powerband is awful. It is beautiful to look at but not much else IMO.

IMO the Elise I worked on was lacking off the line too, but it is so small and light, and the engine revved so fast it was still fun. I liked it better with the turbo on it when the thing wasn't falling on it's face. I wish that it was fixable as it was rather than having to go back to stock with it. The drawback was that the piggybacked brain took the VVT out of it. So while it was much more fun on the bottom end with the turbo, the VVT made it a badass up top without the turbo.

Neither of you guys would like my car then. Power is all at the top and it's still not all that much, but the interior is nice. ;)

I was referring to the C5 which I drove at that time. Not sure what's to like. Classic GM shit. Interior is terrible, ergonomics are terrible, it drives like a pickup truck (albeit on rails comparatively), loud, uncomfortable, looks like a chicks car, and of course the average owner has a few screws loose.

Take your Firebird. There are some things that bug you about it I'm sure. Not so amusingly those things still existed in the C5 Corvette. The 6 was a bit better, but nothing so exciting. Bang for the buck it wouldn't get my money.

So I was randomly browsing the interwebs and came upon this beautiful piece of art. The artist takes wood panels and uses different types of inks and paint to draw.

I want to do something similar, but I have no art skills at all, so I was thinking of taking an image and printing it out. What I am wondering and asking for ideas is how I should proceed with transferring the printed image on the wood. Thinking about some very thin transparent paper and tracing back all the lines. For starters I'll avoid heavy shadow details, so the tracing wont be that hard.

Any other ideas?

My M5 was similar. Needed rev's to drive. I have no issue with that. No amount of boost will save the NSX.

Why is it everywhere I work, I am the only one who actually works?

Life in a factory.

Whiskey 3?

Mcree. The whiskey 3 is a bit more.

Sean what did you use as an enclosure for the isolator board for the minidsp?

I'm thinking of either finding some plastic enclosure, or making something out of wood and foam.

There are certainly issues with the Firebird. Right now its the paint, the desire for a bit more 'get up and go', the doors, and door panels or lack thereof.

Mounted to a piece of 1/4" ply and bolted upside down under the dash on the boat. I sort of figured an enclosure would just up the moisture exposure.
