Hello everyone,
My name is Ben and I'm happy to now be a part of the NSX family! A little bit of background on the car: for around 3 years, I have been aware of this car which was owned by a close friend's uncle. After a few attempts to buy the car over the years and nearly endless pestering of my friend, I am proud to say that I was able to take it home. The car has been sitting in the Santa Cruz area for roughly 5 years without starting or moving, and due to the extremely damp climate had amassed a considerable amount of mold. The previous owner had been an active NSX club member, and while purchasing the car regaled me of his trips to Japan to visit NSX Fiesta years past, and the years of joy the car brought him. As far as I know, I am the third owner.
Here are some pictures of the car in the state I found it and on its way back to its new home! I have started the cleaning process with a wash to break off the moss, but I plan to clay bar and polish this weekend to see if the shine comes back.
So far I have been ordering parts (all fluids, filters, accessory belts, plugs, pads and rotors, battery) for the first big push this long weekend. Please let me know if there is anything else I should consider before attempting to start, and thanks for reading!
