I removed my wiper blades and used some rain-x on the windshield.

I just hope I don't get caught in a haboob.

My Traditional Memorial weekend to get ready for summer fun..
-Wash
-Clay
-Try to remove "swirls" from a bad wash job

, I knew not to trust anyone else to wash it...
-Wax
-Detail engine, trunk, under hood, interior etc....
Some of this done while watching the indy 500 on my garage flat screen.

I may do this first tho...

Don, I may have to borrow your panel clip remover to take off my console and door trim pieces for refinishing.

I am attending Phoenix Comicon on Saturday, and am available Sunday until mid-afternoon (have a friend's bday dinner to go to), and all day Monday. Hopefully I can help you with some of your projects.

**nsxter** · 05-23-2012, 13:15

Don, thank you and Karen for your gracious hospitality and delicious food this weekend! You sure can cook!

Thanks for the assistance on my car too, and getting my center tail light sorted out. I greatly appreciate your friendship and help! Looking forward to the next project.

Don, I can't think you enough for your help with my NSXs over the past few weekends. I am so happy to have my refinished trim panels installed, and my car put back together with the iPod adapter installed. I loved my NSXs before, but I really love them now! I am extremely fortunate and grateful to have you for a friend. Happy Father's Day and enjoy the day off!

**nsxter** · 06-17-2012, 16:04

You are so welcome. I had a blast helping you. And Thank you too! Now it just maintenance...How about the trans fluid next?

Or maybe a good wash/wax or ?
I need to get my usa spec adapter working again

Wonder if it was because I updated to IOS 5.1.1?

Oh shoot, I didn't think to try my iPhone with 5.0.1, sorry.

The transmission fluid can wait until after we do your brakes.

I love learning to work on the NSX! Also, I found the solution for my iPod cable problem (with it not fitting into my iPhone bumper opening): http://www.ebay.com/itm/Male-to-Fema...-/251054694164

I'd be happy to help out with any of this stuff. For some of it, all I may be able to offer is an extra pair of hands/eyes and some conversation, but most of it looks pretty simple.

Give me a call, we'll set up a time.

Thanks for the generous offer, Mark. It was nice meeting you last week. Don's house is centrally located between us, so hopefully we can all hang out and learn to work on NSXs soon.

**naaman** · 07-23-2012, 13:13

Hey, it will be my pleasure. By the way, let me know if you need any technical diagrams or service/repair instructions. I can print them out at school for pretty much any car.

There is a small chance that some things may not be available, but so far, everything I've look up for NSX is there.
