My 92 Berlina Black Build Progress

Hi, my name is Tae from Maryland and wanted to share my build with those interested in seeing another NSX build. I bought it in March, 2011 from MA and drove it back to Maryland w/o any music/radio. I loved it !! lol

Little history of the car -It was bone stock with 29846 miles on it with just one previous owner. Timing/compressor/alternator belts changed in June 11/2010 @29745 miles. (all services and parts were replaced by Acura of Boston over the years and I have all the receipts from the previous owner) Replaced parts incl, ECU, r/l door regulator, speakers/grill, speed sensor, antenna assy, r/l taillight assy, both valve cover gaskets, all rear cam end plugs, oil pan gasket, rear trunk strut.opener, thermostat, drive/passenger inside door handle......etc



When I picked it up, there were couple of dings on the car along with rusted calipers/faded wiper.



Wiper blades Removed/prepped/and painted



All four calipers romved/sand blasted/prepped/and painted

Soon after its arrival, I installed Sciece of Speed (SOS) braided brake lines/power slot rotors/motul brake fluids/hawk HPS brake pads, 18/19 BBS LMs/BBS red caps/BBS lugs/and KW3



and here is the new stance after



The quality of the ride with KW3/Goodyear F1 is just simply amazing !!

Next mod - Exhaust !! It was just too quite for my taste. I ordered the Pride V2 exhaust system from Mark (Great guy to deal with !!!) and SOS test pipe.



Next mod - DF carbon fiber type-r spoiler



installed exhaust/test pipe/spoiler



New stance with 35% tint added

Next mod - My engine bay looking little dirty/plain so I decided to add a little flavor to it - red wrinkle finish in my $7.99 Uhual moving box



Installed/cleaned my engine bay



Oh and I was bored while waiting for my paint to dry so i decided to remove the NSX sticker from the center tail light




Next mod - Side view of my car looked just too plain so decided to give alittle accent to it. I's b-pillar/side vent/DF AIS/DF rear window garnish




Here is before

and after

The wheels look great on the car, nice choice. Also really like the wing, I think I may want to grab one for my '92 BB as well. But my favorite thing in the photo is the Sox cap, GO RED SOX!

I'm waiting on ITB setup from SOS/Comptech headers/and lexan hatch. This little beauty came in and I had to just lay it over the factory rear hatch....just to see it :tongue:




Next mod - few interior pieces. I found the red stitching DIY on the forum so I decided to do it on mine.


It looks realllllly good in person and completely changed the look.

Then I ordered my new seats (OEM seats were old/ripped)/steering wheel setup






I'm still waiting on my SOS seat rails so the seats are just collecting dust in my living room

subscribed.

Next mod - headliner/inner A/B pillar/visor wrap in deep black Alcantara. I sourced the fabric from Jeff (Vrooom, another GREAT guy..item was shipped the same day I paid)



Parts -




little process pictures

Next little mod - matching shift booth/knob/e-brake cover (I sourced these from Ben from Daisy Import Auto here in Maryland. His UID on the forum is "redbird92". Another GREAT person..he has so many OEM parts in stock at his shop so no waiting time :tongue:. Send him a PM if you are looking for parts../short gear stalk/Dave's short shift kit




During the progress, I had to replace the brake master/slave cylinder, and my rear driver side axle rebuilt




Ben (redbird92) @ Daisy did an awsome job on rebuilding my axle. Us Marylanders are lucky to have a skilled/honest NSX guru near us !!

Random picture of my car with my friend's FC Rx7 we built over the winter


And here's me about to teach these boys one or two things about the handling power of our beloved NSX :tongue:



To be continued....( Chris/SOS called me today and said they are shipping out my ITB setup and Comptech shipped out my headers !! I will document everything !!

add the 02+ tail lights to the list.

Headliner and visors look great. The Black really updates the interior nicely.

Are you kidding me?????

MAD SKILLS

BAD TO BONE

nice work will be watching this build

Unreal. Great job!

Beautifull build. Looking Very good!

Epic build!

My favorite wheels of all time. :biggrin:

Could you tell me where you sourced the red BBS caps and lugs?

Where are you in Md? I'd like to see the red interior stiching in person and maybe get some tips on trying it myself?
I take my car to Ben's too. Where you the one he was telling me who was eyeing up my new steering wheel? :tongue:

you are a talented diyer

Looks sick, I would go w/ the 95+ oem front lip, you have the tiny one.
