Good morning NSX Prime! Did anyone else spend 15 minutes on the security question?
I am the proud new owner of a 1991 Black on Black MT NSX. I've wanted one of these cars since as long as I can remember. Before this vehicle my toy was a 1988 Honda Prelude 2.0 Si. Still got it, may never sell it (my first car).
Minor mods include comptech exhaust, bilstein lowering kit (I think...), and aftermarket 17/18 wheels.
Anyways, I hope to benefit and contribute to the forum and maybe even attend some local meets. I am in the Sacramento area, any other Sac owners on here?
I will post pictures after i've finished detailing her this weekend. This car does need some TLC, but here's what i've done so far:
- Removed stickers and decals (there were flame stickers on the windows)
- Removed backup camera, DVD player, and passenger monitor (too tacky for me), installed clean Pioneer deck (closest to factory look I could find)
- Replaced spark plugs and changed oil (almost 10 years on the oil), changed air filter
- Cleaner EGR valve and tested functionality, replaced IAT sensor.
- Performed compression test (200-230 on all cylinders)
Here's what I plan on doing in the next week or so:
- Replace t-belt, w-pump, drive belts and VC gaskets (parts on order)
- Replace fuel filter (gas in car was 10 years old, drained and filled with fresh chevron 91 octane)
- Replace catalytic converters (smog numbers are a little high)
- Replace trunk struts (parts on order)
Here are a couple items I am troubleshooting right now:
Brake lamp indicator: This appears to be a common problem. I have verified all bulbs are working, but I did find corrosion in the passenger side connector. I will be cleaning this and checking the result.
Trunk release button: This is not opening the trunk actuator. I have verified that the master switch in the glove box is on. The trunk opens with the key and with an alarm FOB button. All fuses are good. This button had worked once since I bought the car, so I am suspecting the switch on the door is failing.
Thanks for the time guys, if any of you guys have any input, i'd be happy to read!
