L_M_21 ´92 NSX Formula Red

[L_M_21]

Hello everyone, I´m new member on the group and recently bought a NSX. I have been researched along time ago about the model for this the nsxprime forum is a reference for me, and now that I have one I like share with the group my project.

Well, about my NSX, this is a 92 model, and have 100 000km (60 000 miles), and was been modified by the previous owner with Wings West body kit, custom interior wadding, and some other mods that i will be explain with the elapse of the project. However my car needed some atencion and i will be to do a little restauration/ modification process to make this NSX return to stay like a new model.

There was a list of mods that a car have:
-Exterior
Wings West Body Kit
NSX-R Carbon Wing
Seibon Carbon Hood
OEM Engine cover removed

-Interior
Seats and doors wadding with black and red,
ITR shift knob replica
Custom audio system (worst than the bose oem system )

-Chassis/motor
D2 coilover (the best part of the mods :biggrin
18/19 wheels (haven´t any mark, is a replicas too)
Blue silicone tubes in motor compartment

Well and then the list of mods that i plan to do

-Respray the damage parts and finally detail the car
-NSX-R Engine cover
-Remove the custom silver grids and put black grids in hood and side skirts
-Put OEM look in the motor compartment
-Restore the interior like the Zanardi edition(in this point i agree some sugestions)
-New custom audio

There are more mods to do, but now is that I was remember. New photos soon...

I´m sorry if my engish isn´t the best :wink:

WillErickson i have the same opinion, I love the car but the wheels aren´t the best, in the future i plan to bought new wheels, however this is the last "step" because the high price

[Nukem]

Nice build.

 

[DragonBallZ.]

Awesome build! This is really motivating me to clean my car. lol

 

[06_typeS]

You never really know how dirty a car is until you really detail the areas that never get the attention. Great job.

 

[L_M_21]

Next exterior, I went to rapaint front bumper and front left panel, remove rust from some steel brackets and repaint calipers in Silver with black letters... I think that this combination color give to the car one touch of OEM look

-Front bumper chassis bar resprayed in black anti-rust to protect the steel. The horns and fog lights bracket have the same process and have some bolts replaced by another ones in stainless.

...and some little step about interior mods......

I hope that you like the progress work guys :wink:

 

[PhAnToM]

how did you manage to deal with the rusts in the "radiator compartment?" Have any before and afters of those? A bit hard to see after the spare tire was installed. thanks! : )
