Welcome to my channel! I'll be posting detailed How-to videos & build updates for my 1991 NSX. A little about me: I'm a long time Honda/Acura enthusiast. I've worked in the automotive industry for 16+ years in various capacities including the performance aftermarket, OEM aftermarket/reman Tier 1 & Tier 2 suppliers as well as at the OEM level. While I'm not a professional mechanic, I do enjoy wrenching and working on my car. I feel that working on your car gives you intimate knowledge about the inner workings of it and allows you to have a better connection with it. I personally think this takes the driving, and ownership experience overall, to the next level when you know the part you just installed is done correctly or doing something it should (or shouldn't) do. You have faith in your car and have a better idea of what needs improvement and what is solid. As I learn about the NSX, I hope to provide any type of help and knowledge to all of my viewers.
Thanks for stopping by!

Cool video! Thanks for sharing 👍
No problem, thanks for stopping by!
absolutely love this tool/box and garage setup , ill be buying my first big toolbox which i am going with a 72" us general huch side lockers setup and keep my full small box to store small items like engine lubes and other small things for my RHD Integra & Ls2 GTO Build 🙏🫡 sick video !!! keep up the awesome content !!
That sounds like great setup you’re planning! My dream would be to get a couple of 72” to have side by side with hutches or just work surfaces but I need more real estate for that.

Damn, no TLX-S or TL-S?
There were for sure but I must not have filmed them sorry!!!
Cool car show. Which years had the pop up headlights?
Yes it was a great event! 91-01 NSX had the pop ups but it’s a bolt on affair to do the conversion like in my car.
@@ChrisLumNSX I see...cool
As much I love my NFR S2000, when I see the nsx my jaw just drops. The side view is just magic, what a gorgeous car!!! That NFR at 30:44 is my favorite, what a nice build!
I agree, the silhouette of the nsx was a big selling point for me! And yes Moses’ car is amazing. You can follow him on IG at nalgas_de_fierro
Awesome coverage! Thank you 🙏🏽
Thanks Rick!
Great content as always Chris! Im staging up to do my coolant as well and all 26 hoses. I'm in socal and can never seem to get out to a meet to introduce myself but would love to collab and meet up on NSX content. Im R77NSX on prime. Watching your interview on Automotive Anatomy 👍🏾 Keep up the great content!
Ah very cool. Thanks for watching those videos with Automotive Anatomy. Hopefully we can meet someday! I have so many video ideas in the works, but so little time. I'd be down for a collab if the idea and timing is right. Feel free to msg me on IG, that's the easiest way to chat for me.
Hi Chris this is Bruce. I’m about to install my cup kit but need your help for the KW shorter springs parts number. Thank you in advance for your help 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Hi Bruce. I don't know the p/n off hand, but i believe it's written on the side of the springs and you can see it in my video. Along with shorter springs, i went up in spring rate a bit.
@@ChrisLumNSX got it Chris 👍🏼 thanks again for your prompt reply 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
Great video.
Thank you!
Great video as always Chris 🙏🏽👌🏽 is there a chance that you can put one on mine ? I currently have KW V3 and I’m in Downey btw 😅
Hi! Sorry I don’t have the capacity to offer installs at this time but maybe in the future.
Do you have the part # for the discontinued black seat belt guides for the B pillars?
You need to buy a black seat belt. They’re not sold separately.
Steeltoe caps bro
huh?
another great video
Thanks Tom!
Hi Chris I’m in Downey and have been thinking about respraying my red 94 😅 may I ask how much they charge ? Thanks in advance for all the videos as well 🙏🏽
You’re welcome! You would need to go get a quote in person. Pricing varies depending on what condition your car is in and what exactly you want to do. Also, for example I saved money by doing a lot of the removal and replacement labor myself.
Looks fantastic! Great attention to detail!
Thank you!
Is there no need for a heat gun? Also can you link the tape you used please!
Sorry about that! the link to the 3M VHB tape has been added. Correct, no need for a heat gun. You could use a heat gun or hair dryer if you're attempting this in freezing temps, otherwise, no need. You'll see that the adhesion promoter is almost like a thin layer of glue so the promoter + the correct 3M tape is all you need. The spoiler has been holding up perfectly for me so far!
@@ChrisLumNSX nice I went ahead and followed your steps. The adhesive promoter makes a huge difference! My local store didn’t have vhb so I just got 1inch 3M molding tape. Just finished installing it today! Thanks again!
Awesome glad you got it installed!
Nice job buddy. You're bless. For me the only thing that you missed was the head liner. I own a also a 2004 GTO. Mine has full mods and many many more. GTO's are beautiful cars.
I agree! I forgot the headliner was sagging and noticed it only when it was too late. I had to give the car back so the headliner is on the list of things to do for the future.
Great video Chris. One of these days I need to do one on my car.
Thanks Joe! I'd love to see that as I'm sure many others would too!
Awesome video. My 1991 NSX is going to need to have the clutch replaced pretty soon. Also I've been having a small oil leak from the rear bank (bank 2) dripping and smoking up on the rear exhaust manifold, I've removed and re-sealed some of the cylinder head oil galley (pipe thread type) sealing bolts (16mm and 10mm?) on both heads that I saw were leaking. So I hope it stops the particular problem.
Thank you! Yes oil leaks can be annoying. My car came with 2 separate leaks when i bought it: oil pan and oil pressure sender. There are a lot of places that can spring a leak so i always advise people that if it's not easy to find, clean the engine so you have a clean slate to inspect and check back frequently, following the oil upwards and you'll likely find the source.
@@ChrisLumNSX yeah just today it appears my bank 2 valve cover gasket has a tiny leak near the bottom cam plug. I replaced these valve covers like 1 year ago but I guess I didn't Honda bond it good enough to completely seal it.
Wowzers! cleanest NSX ever! What size tires are you runnin?
Thank you! I'm running Falken RT660 in 215/40/17 and 275/35/18. But you should know that the RT660 run wide, a lot wider than the Falken Azenis RT615 for the same sizes. And this applies in comparison to other tire manufacturers too, so you just have to compare things like tread width, tread section, etc. when cross shopping tires against the model and sizes that i'm using.
Worked for me. Thanks!
Glad to hear it worked out for you!
I wouldn’t wait too long to replace the timing belt if I were you. Beautiful NSX though.
Thank you! The timing belt is 7 yrs and 9k miles old. I’m definitely going to replace it next year. It’s one of those items that no one has ever seen a failure from age on the nsx though even replacing at 10 yrs old. I think because most nsx do very little mileage and are relatively well taken care of and not driven very hard.
Did you consider wrapping the original headliner in alcantara?
I did actually. It's a bit of a complicated and long winded answer. The OEM R headliner isn't cheap, especially with shipping, so I highly considered wrapping in alcantara, which would have been around $200 in material or so, so significant savings. However, the one big drawback was going to be the labor. There would have been 2 methods for wrapping: either remove the oem vinyl layer + scrape off all the aged foam underneath or lay alcantara directly on top of the vinyl. One is obviously much less labor intensive than the other, but either way, i didn't feel super confident with the glue i was using. For my door panels and door sill, i use 3M 90 spray adhesive. It works well and holds up well for those applications, maybe because they're small in size. I've heard that the glue does not hold up well for headliner. It is recommended to use DAP Weldwood contact adhesive for headliners since it's a large piece of material and heavier, but i tried the Weldwood in a can on some door cards before and it was significantly harder to work with than the 3M product and didn't hold for me. I know it must have been some kind of user error, but that really deterred me from going the DIY route because i didn't want to mess up on a large piece of alcantara. Also, the visor area of the headliner is semi-deep in contouring so i didn't know how well the alcantara would contour and how much trouble it would give me. In the end, i decided i needed to bite the bullet and go with the $900 OEM price tag (600 + 300 shipping) just to be safe. OEM is always a safe bet in terms of quality and resale too. I'm not going to lie though, I'm definitely curious about wrapping a headliner. I sold my old one, but if i can come across a beat one for cheap, i may pick it up and test wrap it.
@@ChrisLumNSX $900 isn’t bad. I contacted an upholsterer in SGV and he wanted $1500 to remove and rewrap. That labor is $$$
@o_tdiggity sorry I guess I was comparing it to a DIY job which affects the price tag a lot. Yes, if you were to compare a professional job versus OEM, OEM makes a lot of sense.
Just watched the video in its entirety. One question, what do you think of the Blackvue dashcam? Would you recommend it?
I like it, but it's the only brand I have experience with. I've had 3 different models and they've all been excellent. The only downside (or upside) is that there's no screen on it, so you have to use your phone app to aim it or review footage, but the upside is that it's smaller and blocks less space than the kind with screens attached. It's reliable as well. I've had a blackvue of some sort for over 10 years easily.
fake
lol, definitely not fake, but thanks for the comment!
That was a great watch. I would love to do all the faded and hardened seals on my doors too. Can't wait to see the video of changing the rear hatch seal.
Thanks! yeah I'm actually interested in how to do the rear hatch seal as well. I think it's easy? we'll find out soon!
Awesome build! Very detailed video. Glad the radiator problem wasn't too bad. Will you be going over the cost of ownership/upgrades to it?
Thanks, I'm glad too. I may go over total cost one day, but probably not any time soon.
Car looks great! Definitely fun to see the progress (and probably add to my own to-do list), lol. Grats on getting the car to where it is and here's to seat time > wrench spinning :)
Thanks Richard! I can definitely agree seat time is nicer than wrenching! I will say that I’m more of a tinkerer than a driver though so even though I’m running out of major items to do to the car, I look forward to the small (hopefully easier) stuff to come!
Good stuff! Headliner looks a lot easier than I thought it would be to remove. Any plans on redoing the foam on the ac blower? I feel like removing the dashboard is probably the hardest thing to remove.
The blower is in the front compartment which I referred to in the video. But I guess you’re talking about the stuff under the dash. I’ve never done it before but yeah dash removals aren’t usually fun.
What year is your NSX? 1991?
Yes 1991
Car looks incredible man! Love all the work and time you've put into it and the progress/DIY vids you've shared all along the way. Hopefully im back out your way at some point this year and can check it all out.
Thank you Jasser! Well definitely make time to hang out next time you’re here.
Beautiful car!
Thank you! I’m very happy with it right now.

Black looks soooooo gooooooood!
Thank you!! It looks good…only when it’s clean haha
Great content chris and thanks for all the nsx modification guides. your content gives me motivation to hopefully do DIY work on my own car when I own an NSX in the future.
That’s awesome! Hope you get one soon! I have so many DIY and more coming so be sure to check the back catalog when you’re ready and feel free to reach out with any questions!
When removing the door handle trim, it’s worth taping up the handle and the section behind the handle to avoid scratching those areas.
Good tip!
Congrats Chris!
Thank you!
Just enjoyed through the entire hour and 22 minutes… thanks for pumping out the great content Chris! Also major bummer on your mishap in trying to spot repair😢 but hats off to you for showing your mistakes and letting us know how you solved the problems. One PSA and highlight note take away from your video, Is the fact that the Mugen radiator cap is not correctly rated for our NSXs. You should make a separate video explaining about the differences in the bar rating 1.1 versus 1.3. Some other NSX owners had experienced premature failure and wear due to aftermarket radiator caps, not allowing the proper disbursement of pressure.
Yeah it was a terrible mistake that cost me big bucks but I’ll recover. It’s one of those things that I’ll definitely never repeat again because of how much it cost me. I’ll research about the rad cap, thanks Robert!
@@ChrisLumNSX sorry I didn’t check back sooner, but Steven Glover just tagged you in an epic and informative post by Chris Willson (ScienceofSpeed)
Yup it’s because I was talking to him about the 1.3 vs 1.1 caps and he hasn’t heard of any issues with the higher pressure caps. That issue was specifically about oem 1.1 caps that didn’t meet original specifications. So I’m thinking 1.3 caps should be fine.
What happened to the Mugen M7 wheels?
I sold them to my buddy Tony with the yellow nsx
Chris, you mentioned you had a radiator handy and was pushing the replacement, but how did you know the radiator was nearing replacement time? Is it an age thing or did you see signs? If the latter, what tells you it needs to be replaced? Keep up the good videos. Car looks great!
Thanks! There are signs the radiator is old, color of the plastic (I think it’s supposed to be black) and you can get an idea if a radiator had been installed for a long time based on how dented up the front is from rocks and debris. I think mine might have also had a date in it? I’m not positive on that one. But my car also came with a ton of maintenance records and while coolant hose replacement was on them, a new radiator wasn’t. I was pretty certain that it was the original radiator from 1991.
What is that store for the headliner? I haven’t heard of it before. Great video btw, tons of useful info crammed into a single video 😊
Car looks great 👍
Yeah impex Japan is legit. It was my first time using them too but many others have used them and they were a lot cheaper than amayama for the headliner. I do prefer Amayama though which is why I continue to purchase anything else I can from them. Just that I saved like $3-400 on the headliner from Impex so I had no choice!
the pervious owner shouldnt cut the frame...
I agree, I wish it was not cut, but that’s just how it was done back in the day.
Far from done. Still missing a Spoon engine, T66 turbos with NOS, and a MoTeC system exhaust.
Coming right up!
Wow!!! How do you have so much time to play with the. NSX!? ❤❤❤
I try to fit time in whenever and wherever I can! it's definitely difficult!
Too much talkie, not enough workie.
I get it. I kinda of fast forwarded through all the actual cleaning but it would have been very repetitive if I showed it all. I'll try to do better next time, thanks!
Do you have a car jack that stays in the car; if so, which one? Thanks! Great instructional video, btw!
Thanks! Currently I don't have one that is permanently in the car. I have a couple of aluminum jacks at home which I would use if I never needed it (I would just have someone deliver it to me if I were on the side of the road locally).Having that said, if you got a flat and repaired it with this kit, you may not need to remove the wheel from the car. You WOULD need a good air compressor or emergency air pump though in order to fill it up from empty--this is of course if the tire hasn't already de-beaded As far as emergency scissor jacks go, I would have to do research into something that would be a good fit for the car. I've heard some stories of jacks that fail because they aren't rated for the weight of an EV, so it's definitely something that needs to be looked into carefully and vetted.
