Thanks!

No problem, thanks for stopping by!

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.

Definitely! I wish i could have filmed all the other lots too, but i ran out of time.

There were for sure but I must not have filmed them sorry!!!

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

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

Thanks Rick!

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 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 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽

Thank you!

Hi! Sorry I don’t have the capacity to offer installs at this time but maybe in the future.

You need to buy a black seat belt. They’re not sold separately.

huh?

Thanks Tom!

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.

Thank you!

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!

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.

Thanks Joe! I'd love to see that as I'm sure many others would too!

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.

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.

Glad to hear it worked out for you!

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.

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.

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.

lol, definitely not fake, but thanks for the comment!

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!

Thanks, I'm glad too. I may go over total cost one day, but probably not any time soon.

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!

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.

Yes 1991

Thank you Jasser! Well definitely make time to hang out next time you’re here.

Thank you! I’m very happy with it right now.

🙏🙏

Thank you!! It looks good…only when it’s clean haha

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!

Good tip!

Thank you!

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.

I sold them to my buddy Tony with the yellow nsx

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.

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!

I agree, I wish it was not cut, but that’s just how it was done back in the day.

Coming right up!

I try to fit time in whenever and wherever I can! it's definitely difficult!

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!

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.
