For those of us that put our cars away for the winter, what are your DIY plans?

Nothing big for me, these are the items on my list:

-re-paint wiper arms
-paint calipers - need to order a G2 kit from SOS
-install my HIDs from Steve
-bolt on my front chassis bar
-install new Shine GT front lip as I destroyed mine
-repair aspirator fan, it is driving me nuts!

If you're going to have the console off to get to the fan, you might want to pull the CCU and send it to BrianK while you have it apart. Debating if I want to mess with it or not on mine.

 

[Speedy93]

Fix'n my shine GT front lip now. and getting creative adding in some support

full detail including polishing the wheels

 

[BlackbirdXX]

The usual. Wash, claybar, polish, wax. Wipe down suspension and underneath car. Detail interior, apply shin -etsu grease to all weatherstrips, and of course stare at it for a long time. Hey, only 4 1/2 months to go.
Gotta love winter.:smile:

 

[topolone]

install a Turbo kit (I hope)

 

[Wavey1]

For my '92...

- Swap out driver's seat covers with like new pieces from a low mileage car.

- R&R the climate control board, send to Brian K.

- R&R wheels (later 7-spokes), refinish, replace front tires.

- Finally install the higher-wattage headlight bulbs and ceramic connectors that have been on the shelf since May :>

- Get the valves adjusted.

- Repaint the front lower valance and replace the lip (again). Maybe an aftermarket lip? Maybe paint the roof body color (red)?

- If I get the time and cash, a set of Bilsteins set on the lower position, and a full alignment.

mental-notes into Prime-record, ha!

Penning down the to-do list here more-so for my own sake (so I don't forget it)...

- refinish windshield-wiper arms in satin-black; replace old wiper-blades w/ new wiper-blades

- change motor-oil (synthetic 5w30) & motor-oil filter (Nappa blue tall-filter)

- clean/re-oil Uni air-element foam-filter; clean King-Motorsport big-bore throttle-body & MAF/etc sensor

- change transmission-fluid (need a $pecialized fluid due to OS-Giken LSD, not decided which one to go w/ this time)

- inspect brake-pads on 4-corners & replace accordingly (have some Cobalt-Friction XR-series pads)

- apply appropriate grease/spray to rubber & plastic weather seals, gaskets, trim, fittings, etc.

- re-bleed the hydraulic clutch system to firm-up pedal (in past year, replaced soft clutch-line & did clutch-dampener delete-line; re-bleed performed was so-so)

- refinish brake-caliper surfaces (clean w/ wire-brush, apply high-temp "fire-orange" or "anodize-gun'metal" engine paint)

- repair 1.5" seam-tear in passenger-seat thigh-cushion

- add resin/urethane gutter-guard mesh to side-intakes, front bumper A/C condenser & radiator openings (keep out gravel/gravel/leaves/feathers/fur)

- repair/refinish Yokohama Advan AVS Model 5 (17/17) wheels & mount new Bridgestone Potenza RE050A Pole Position (currently using 17/18 Rays Engineering Volk SE37k (17/18) wheels w/ Bridgestone Potenza RE050A Pole Position)

- readjust Tein-RA coilovers dampening and/or corner-balance

- diagnose/repair newly discovered no-sound issue from passenger door-speaker (loose/disconnected wire? footwell sub/amp problem?); all speaker/sub amps have been previously rebuilt a few years ago

- source a JDM NSX Type-S Zero Momo "Zagato" steering-wheel, install after-market low-profile or OEM NSX-R steering-wheel hub & after-market quick-release

- source & install B'pillar-only harness-bar (already have Dali-Racing harness-bar which reduces how far back seat can be moved)

- install NSX-Clear clear front-fender side-markers or Clear-Corners "clear" LED front-fender side-markers (have sets of both); swap-in high-powered white LED bulbs for front-bumper combo-lights, license-plate lights, taillight reverse-lights, door courtesy lights, driver's footwell light, dome light, trunk light

- update center-taillight w/ '02+ Acura caliper emblem

- swap-in genuine Mugen '92-'94 NSX-R ECU-chip (install zif-socket)

- hope for iOS "video-mirroring" to be possible w/ (non-jailbroken) iPhone 4/4S, which will allow home-screen, app's, navigation, txt-phone keypad activity to display on my (currently unmounted) Pioneer AVIC F500BT & JDM NSX nav. pod through Pioneer-iPhone cable, all connecting to the OEM head-unit via my USA-Spec aux. input converter

- need-to-list-and-sell: Dali-Racing harness-bar, (2) pairs of camlock harnesses (Schroth black/gold pair & Simpson red/silver pair), harness/belt pads, OEM trunk-mat, OEM black wheel-locks, Clear-Corners rear-fender "clear" LED side-markers, driver-door shell (New Formula Red, <6" hairline crease), OEM tow-hook cover (Formula Red), OEM '02+ trunklid sub-spoiler (unpainted), OEM NSX service & body/technical repair manuals & supplements from various years, original owner's display technical-book (all-black hardback w/ aluminum NSX emblem, in Acura-addressed mailing/storage box w/ personalized Acura embossed/parchment letter), OEM Acura cd-changer & mounting-bracket, and moarrr

- [reserved for what I've forgotten...]

OSIRIS,

- swap-in genuine Mugen '92-'94 NSX-R ECU-chip (install zif-socket)


What will this do exactly?

 

[Osiris_x11]

just a mod' to mod'...

- swap-in genuine Mugen '92-'94 NSX-R ECU-chip (install zif-socket)

What will this do exactly?

I got it when I was in the U.K. via Deiter of Procar on NSXCB, it's basically the original ECU-chip on the '92-'94 JDM NSX-R that was duplicated by various vendors/tuners & then sold in the U.S. It merely raises the redline to ~8,400 rpm's & perhaps changes the A/F to a slightly more aggressive tune. The JDM '92-'94 NSX-R had a power-rating of 280ps, whereas the USDM & JDM non-R versions were 270ps. I don't expect much, other than raised redline & more responsive throttle; perhaps this ECU-chip may further enhance my I/H/E & BBTB by adding a handful of rwhp's & ft-lbs.! :redface:

Hi,
Can you please message me thus Brian guys contact info? If Luke to send him my ac module as it only blows on high :/. Also I took my asperator fan out due to the annoying noise and though it was kinda useless anyhow... What purpose does it serve? Do you recommend me send it to Brian as well and get it repaired then put back in or is it ok to not even have it?
Thanks!
Marcus
