John, Where did you get these tiles? Are they specific to garage floors or the like? -- Michael |

Robert, I designed it so I can drive through without reversing. There is another door in front of the NSX. |

Tyson, I wish! Actually, the next consideration is to change it for a standard C5 engine/trans set up, unless a ZO6 engine becomes available somewhere post accident. I am concerned if the lateral susp arms can handle the extreme torque. Either way, it's good enough for now. |

DJ, Yes, it is a 190SL (good eye), ...but it has a transplanted Corvette engine! It's actually quicker than the 360 (much lighter). |

Jerry, I did live in Michigan before (5 miles north of eminem's 8 mile). Come visit anytime and jetski/boat on the lake. Also, private me about any surgical questions. |

John, that is awesome! Did I tell you I am your long lost brother? I've been looking for a reason to move to Florida. I'll bring my RV and 8 kids and my mullet. |

I had many people inquire about the tiles I posted on NSX prime and Florida Ferrari chat so I decided to post them in the general topic chat. They're porcelain tiles (G5): The tiles are rated G1 to G5. The G5 has the most density. I would recommend anything above G4. I needed it to support more than 7000 lbs (Hummer 1).
