    2nd gen NSX development story by Takuma Sato

    Why there are so many discontinued parts for NC1?

    Rear window and trunk lid hydraulic struts

    If they are used they have likely lost pressure. Even if they are unused through time gas leaks past the seals.Its not worth selling without testing them mounted because old ones will still have alot of resistance by hand but will fail with the weight if the glass or trunk with spoiler.

    Why there are so many discontinued parts for NC1?

    Most these parts are made in batches and if the backorder eta is long enough theyll just list it as discontinued. The right side is likely out of stock because thats side that gets the most wear and damage from steep driveway entries. When they start another batch run they'll updated it as...

    Circa 2007: NSX with a V10!

    Alot of designs for that concept made its way onto the nc1. You can see the front end healights ,shield design and fender vents as well as the high mounted rear stop light all took inspiration from this concept. The proportions were changed for mid engine but I wish they would have used the...

    Clip repair

    The clip was attached by the factory with an abs locator tab casted into the part. The tab gets heated and acts like a rivet. The only problem is it doesnt handle vibration well and most nsx will have 1 side missing . Aged abs is really brittle so adding another rivet may spider crack it more...

    Re-embroidering NSX logos on floor mats?

    Honda likely switched manufacturers or the manufacturer switched materials. Carpet and most textiles are made in batches so they won't always be the same color or feel sometimes.

    High Compression 3.2L Engine Build

    It doesn't take much to put a piston out of round. Have you thought about using sos forged pistons? I think you could get that one back round again with some taps of a wooden hammer and some careful measuring.

    KSP NSX-R Style Seats?

    KSP NSX-R Style Seats?

    Just get the jersey red pole positions or the cheaper fabric ones and have them reupholstered to look like nsx r trim.Here is a set redone to look like nsx r and its pretty much the same seat. I would rather go with recaro atleast the shells are known to be safe.

    KSP NSX-R Style Seats?

    I think he just had the logo embroidered on but the fabric is likely ksp original. It doesn't wear well as you can see.

    KSP NSX-R Style Seats?

    I found these pics online. Their covers and foam don't seem durable but the shell looks pretty good.I think you maybe better off buying pole positions and not have to worry about material issues.
