KennethSK's 93 EDM NSX "Build"

It is nice to see that you guys like what I do.

This weekend I have spent many hours working on the car and also got some help from a good friend with the engine.
So now the engine has been finished, it now has new cooling hoses, LMAs, waterpump, plugs, timingbelt and the valves are adjusted.



The driveshafts have finally been finished and have now new cv boots and grease.
I must say they look alot better now then when I removed them from the car



Shouldn't be so long before I can start putting the engine back in the car now

The driveshafts look great. I'm looking forward to seeing future updates once you get the engine back in.

Thank you for that, it is always fun to get positive feedback

Since SOS came out with the clutch damper delete kit and I am just about to install their sport clutch so I had to get the kit. Sounded like a good idea.




I am also considering buying some Rigid Collars from Spoon as I think the theory of the product sounds good. Don't know anyone who have tested this product so it should be fun testing it.


Will be starting to install the engine soon so then there will be more updates then.

Since work is killing me and my wife has had an operation on her foot so I have to take care of the kids, so now the only time I have to working very late days to get the car done.

But there have been some progress.

The SOS sports clutch is installed



And the transmission is installed for the secound time, first time I forgot to install the clutch release fork





Have also done alot of cleaning of the parts and bolts for the engine, borrowed an ultrasoundcleaner from work to get the bolt cleaned up and that worked great.
Things are going alot slower than I wan't but it will be worth it when I'm done.

Here is a little bonus, this is the car owned by one of the guys I share the garage with.
It is an old Honda Accord with an F20B engine(very rare), ITBs, custum Bisimoto cams and header.
He is also doing a wiretuck to get the enginebay really clean looking.
(Sorry for the bad photo)

Time for new update!

The engine is in the car, must say that this is the easiest engineinstall I have ever done. Are still alot of things to do but things are moving forward.



My new dampers and springs are in place:



And this is the result of my shopping yesterday:





Will be flushing the coolingsystem a few times before I put in the new coolingfluid, I want to remove as much of the old fluid as I can.

Have also orderd a set of Enkei RPF1 in 17/18 with Direzza Star Spec tires for the car.

Hope to have the car done within this month but time will tell if I can make it.

Good job!

Getting the car on the road is taking alot longer than I hoped but I am very close to startup now.

Nice Kenneth! Mini NSX meet soon ;-)

I cannot tell you how many times I've forgotten some key component just as I was tightening that last bolt :biggrin: I remembered. "Ah Crap!".../cry

Hehe, I have to admit that this isn't the first time for me either.
Had one like this when I tried to install the driveshafts yesterday also

What size are the wheels and are you running oem springs on the stock bilstien perch or the lower perch

Now you are getting to drive your dream car around. I'm sure you are very happy every time you get behind the wheel. Congrats! I look forward to the day that I get mine.

Nice work. Its too bad she was driven in the winter on wet roads. I sold my crx and my r1 to get my nsx. But now still found another clean crx and looking to buy prime members crx that he fully restored and bought parts from me towards his restore. looking forward to it. Your car turned out great. I will be pulling my engine soon once my car lift is in. Its taking a while because i had to replace walls in the garage and new electric service upgrade.

I will need sand blast some of my parts to power coat them.

The wheels I am running is 17 and 18, the dampers are at the lower perch.

Thanx for the replys, I am still having troble understanding that this is my car.....

After almost one year with doing work on my car it finally got back on the road again. These pictures is from my first trackday with the NSX at Arctic Circle Raceway.
Drove over 650 miles this weekend without any problems so I must have done good work







PS: I know the car is very dirty

Had to put these ones out also.

This is the first picture of the car when it came out of storage. Haven't installed the enginecover and hatch on this one:



And here are some wheels from a Honda CRX Del Sol next to my NSX wheels

Looks great, how did track day workout

How did these Rigid Collar work out for you? You are the only person I've seen use them and I am very curious as to whether they made any difference at all?

Thanks and nice work!

Thanks, have been on the track two times this seson and I have driven 2500 miles without any problems
Probably are going to get a front Type R swaybar during the winter to make it easier to drive fast with som new endliks and most likely some other stuff also.
Regarding the rigid collars I have only installed the rear ones, they where easy to install.
Before I installed them I saw that the subframe bolt where not centered in the holes but after install they where perfect.
I did so many things with the car together with this upgrade that I don't know how big effect it has, probably not alot but I like the theory about it.

The car is now back in storage but I can't wait for next season.

Here is some pictures:







On the way to a trackday with alot of Mazda Miatas:

Hi,

But first some pictures:

Hehe you got right there, more new parts on the way.
Got the first of two packages from SOS yesterday, downforce intake, brakelines, oem expansiontank and some more. Have started making the car ready for next season but doing work in a barn during winter is very cold (5 degrees fahrenheit).

Some pictures this time also:









Thats all for this time
