      I must be a minimalist because my take on car upgrades is taking things off to optimize weight ... best performance upgrade. Obviously would replace what I take off with lightweight components ... but adding more wires and compute devices is just more empty weight to add on.

    So I can appreciate the meticulous detailing on the interior and was floored by the thread cutting to make sure the seats were better than new but.....
    That being said, I could not stop rolling on the floor laughing at the “spray painted” wheels and calipers. Like you go through the trouble of not only acquiring but refurbishing one of the rarest of Hondas. You stress how rare it is in the video for anyone that doesn’t have a clue but you spray painted the wheels and calipers! They are no better than the finish you made fun of only to refinishing them just as poorly. I hope that whoever gets this car takes the time to remove the tires so that the calipers and wheels can get a proper powder coating that will be as close to OEM as possible before the spray paint starts flaking and baking off.
    Beautiful car and congrats on securing it but you missed the mark on the wheels and calipers. You could have taxed an extra 2K+ on the price to have taken the time to do it right.
    2.5 of 5 stars for short cutting on the wheels and calipers.

      Exactly what I thought when I watching up to that point. The calipers doesn't seem like even got it sanded down prior to the paint job, and no primer applied.

    Can't believe how professional you guys are. I'd dream of you doing this to my R230.

    Couldn't afford used original NSX 20 years ago, can't afford used NSX now. The new NSX makes me want old NSX more. What an iconic car.

    My car is nothing special but I want this deep a detail every month now! This was beyond satisfying to watch.

    Driving over all that sitting water at the end of the video got my ocd kicking in especially after that thorough underbody clean. Then I remind myself it’s a car that must be enjoyed and breathe a sigh of relief. Thanks for making these videos longer. Honestly you could make them longer and I’d still watch as I’m sure there’s lots that didn’t make the cut.

    Shouts to you brits spending weeks and possibly thousands of dollars cleaning an already ridiculously clean example of possibly the greatest car ever made and some how also managing to make it a joyless sterile ordeal in the process, top marks ladz... 🧐🧐🧐
