My first NSX 91 red aka "Scarlett" build

history behind it
I call it a barn find NSX
Was purchased with intent to be a full race car by previous owner, just ended up being a forgotten project until she met me:smile:
First priority is inventory and cleaning since some things either, broken, cut, or sold off




First wash in probably 6 years


yes only 40k


replacing foam seals






Already took engine out, replaced all seals, hoses, t-belt, valve adj, rebuilt axles







paint trick


I am a Type R guy so I found that ITR grommets work on here(shinny)



FUEL PUMP NOT KICKING ON, SO WAITING ON THAT NOW

Hurry up and finish it already :biggrin:

I love barn find builds/restore. I would to be able to stumble accross a find.

Glad you made a thread for this. I'll bring the engine cover by this weekend.

Good luck with your project.

I'm happy you bought this.
I had been considering making an offer, but it was just a little too far away and my wife would be a little too pissed.

Keep up the awesome work!!

Wow - Nice job.

Chase, which part no did you use for the blower motor? I need to do the same real soon. I'll be following you on some things! You are moving fast!

didn't get anything done this weekend, was a Circuit of the Americas for the World-Challange races but saw a few NSX's there

Got the coilovers figured out but still want longer springs and different rates






Placed bumper on just for looks

What was the issue with the coilovers? Dont tell me they had them swapped front to back?

I still have not had a chance to run by the shop but will %100 be there this Sunday.

struts were swaped front to back, kept springs in same spot.
ordered some brackets for moton reservoirs.
waiting on more parts to come in as well

preliminary alignment for now


Also got some fender liners installed


Also a factory air pump (from a new TLX)

Wow, nice progress. The car looks like a excellent project. Is this the car that had the inside of the doors gutted and cut? Are you going to keep it as a track car, or try to turn it into a road legal warrior?

UNIVERSAL TPMS well worth it



Stitching coming along

The fan on the right hand side of the engine is interesting. Does it bring more dust into the engine bay? Or does it really helps to cool down the bay area.

spare interior chassis harness


new radiator duct, have to cut for nsx bar, luckily its marked from factory
