Shark Bite: Picked up a red 91 NSX
- Thread starter sharkwerks
- Start date
Been a busy summer with work but been daily driving her although had a few more changes made. As much as I've always liked the original black roof thing it was not something that could be buffed out anymore after 21 years of California sun so I decided to get it done red and then have a full detail/paint correction as well. Still trying to find the JDM tail lights... not sure I like the LED ones I have now.
Out with those lights...
The LED ones installed and Bob from Autoconceirge (the guys is a perfectionist) doing his magic. I know I've seen a few NSX's in there over the years so some of you guys probably already use/know of him at www.justwaxed.net:
You can't tell just how good the paint is after his magic but it pops:
He spends days on this one...
There's more to it when doing "just" the roof. The trim pieces need to be replaced too:
If you're in the Bay Area and are looking for a very, very good paint shop I can highly recommend Tommy over at RJ's Paint Shop in Pleasanton as they've owned many exotics and Tommy's had an NSX as well and knows the car, how to get replacement parts and all that stuff really well.

Too bad you didn't chime in on bngl3rt's thread sooner. I believe his car is in another local body shop right now.
Looks so nice in red
Clean mods, I like.
WOW this nsx is looking MINT and beautiful!
Cheers... I'm glad it's getting there
Cheers! I think Bob will be finished with it in a couple more days but the paint is POPPING!
Thanks! I'm getting there
Got a few more goodies from Mark@DaliRacing including rear chassis brace, Type R wing rep, beefier sway bar, Toyo R888s and threw in the DC5-R honda steering wheel. No more acura logos anywhere

Hey Its' been a while since you posted. Looking good. BTW - did you switch out the tape deck thingy that has the Acura logo on it?
And where did you get that steering wheel?
Haha darnit I spoke to soon, you're right about the darned acura logo on the fascia! I'm guessing there's a JDM tape deck that one can by for a gazillion
I'll have to get that off! I got the DC5-R wheel and airbag from a primer and it's working well right now. Had to nuke the cruise control- just didn't have time to mess about with it for now and didn't seem right putting it there or having buttons. Had to sort of destroy a factory wheel to make it work right but it's getting there
I love the DC5 steering wheel! Way nicer than OEM!
Looking good, but you also have Acura logo's on the wheel centers. :biggrin:
Thanks man who needs cruise control
?Actually side by side they're almost the same. In fact the momo dc5 one is a hunt smaller. Just the spacing and picture angle might make it look larger...
Haha that's right I need to change those...
got a few more Dali parts coming including the front type r hood a d radiator ducting...
Finally doing the Prospeed RDX injector upgrade.. can't wait. Plus the Type-R hood conversion from Dali. That should be good for a lil' while
Great looking car. Do you notice a huge difference with all the suspension upgrades?
Can't believe I missed this thread for so long. Welcome.
I've heard nothing but good thing about your products and remember seeing your green GT3RS on Battle of the supercars
maybe in a few years I can get my hands on a GT3 after I get my NSX fix on.

Thanks and so far yes I'd say it seems to be flatter and yet compliant. I wasn't really sure what springs to match with the bilsteins so I kept 'em stock and with the sways and other parts it's a nice daily d- even on these roads.
Cheers man I remember those days
I miss that car!http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XzeLcvgOVzQ
Got the Type R hood and ducting being painted now (from Dali) and the RDX injector upgrade from Prospeed next
What went wrong .... LOL .... you were so keen to keep it stock!
Wont be long now till 02 sills and valance, larger rimss, BBK, Recaros .... where will it all end? Only jkg
Pleased you're enjoying Honda's halo car .... would have been nice to see some developement but then I guess the market is too snall to justify much investment ...
regards, Paul
LOL Paul I know... Ah well... I'm still seriously gonna keep her NA, stock/Honda looking in terms of wheels and aero. Suspension/brakes and a few NA power upgrades aside she's still going to be stock-ish... Here's the injectors out in anticipation of the Prospeed RDX injector upgrade. Man those clips are a pain in the dick to get out!

I like it. Sounds like a Race car
. Man i missed that car already. What do you think of 1st generation 997 GT3 R.S? I am working on a deal now and trying to buy it.I bet you doI like it. Sounds like a Race car
! The Gen1 RS is my all-time favorite 911 and GT3 model. It's a special, special car... My thoughts in here basically:http://sharkwerks.com/porsche/porsche-modification-and-tuning-guide/475-997-gt3rs-2007-2008-a.html
If you liked the 3, you'll love the RS even more so. Revs better with the LWF, slightly better suspension in the rear...
I am always looking for fun cars to buy and sell . Oh by the way my 04 NSX is also up for sale. Let me know if you want to trade up.... hehe
