91' NSX Rejuvenation build
Well I figure its about time a put together a thread for the NSX. I have nothing crazy planed for her other then some well deserved mechanical and cosmetic maintenence and maybe a few bolt on.
As soon as I picked up the car the paint looked horrible. So I knew it needed to go to Envious Finishes to get a 3 step. Plus it worked out that the detail was auctioned off from the Stance East meet.

After the detail it was off to Acura for her 90k maintenence which consisted of a new timing belt, water pump, spark plugs, valve adjustment, coolent flush, tranny flush, and brake flush. I also had the PS and AC belts changed.

Next up is to just drive it for the summer and enjoy it. I still have a couple leaks that have to get looked at and am also looking for a front OEM lip and OEM wheels.

I have never driven a mid engines real wheel drive car other then my NSX, so I have nothing to compact it too.
As for looks, everytime I'm out I'm being stared at. Gas stations, restaurants, cruising on the highway. The looks are always there. The first day I bought it I parked it a the casino to show my grand father. Within 3 minutes I had a crowd of old gambler men standing around asking questions and looking the car over. They could not believe it was an Acura.
I took it for our annual road trip to your states with a few friends in Sept, had one lady in NH stop me and ask me if it was a 2012, I stated that it was in fact a '91 and she was dumbfounded.
I didn't get to really drive it that much after the Boston trip due to a really bad wheel baring causing the car to sway really bad on the road. That and a few new tie rod ends and ball joints we should have a great spring.
Thats awesome! Everything I assumed it would be. Sounds like you'll have a great sprinf season for sure. Its a phenomenal looking car, I truly plan to own one in the future. Either white or red, black is nice too but the Si is black and I always wondered about red or white.
Very glad to hear you're enjoying the exotic thus far. Make sure to update this like crazy! Cheers :beer:
P.s. Are you on L4p?
