My name is Andrew Ling and I am the owner of this Red on black 1992 Acura NSX. To start off, I've always been a fan of the NSX as I always loved watching Best Motoring videos. The astonishing balance between power and suspension settings made me love the car even more. I started doing drivers ed during freshman year and during my sophomore year, I had received my license. I drove a 2008 Toyota Tacoma around for a few months and at the same time, I would always look on craigslist for local listings on 90's JDM vehicles like the RX7 FD, Supra, and NSX. Around Summer time of 2016 I saw a white Supra at a smog shop and I asked the owner if he was selling it and he was. It was a 1995 Diamond White Pearl Hardtop NA AUTO Supra. It wasn't fast, but I really liked the way it looked. During my ownership, I replaced a lot of interior parts because I am a strong believer in having a pristine interior first than performance mods second. But during August of 2017, someone rammed into my parked Supra at work and caused damage to the hood, bumper, headlights and fender. I sold it around October of 2017 for double what I purchased for and began looking for an NSX. The car had 28k miles on it and needed a new timing belt and radio but I didn't mind as I was going to do those two items anyways.
When the vehicle arrived, I gave the entire car a deep clean on both the exterior and interior. Unlike most teens, I don't really like to go fast. I rather maintain a mostly stock vehicle to enjoy in its purest form. The leather was dried out, so I applied Lexol Leather Conditioner on them for 24 hours adding a coating after 2 hours of first application. The interior has some defects though that I would like to address. A small tear on the driver seat bolster, wrinkled trim in the interior, broken top vent piece, small scratch in center console, old musty carpets, worn shift knob, and a tear on the sun visors from expansion over the years. These parts I will mostly replace with new OEM parts in the next coming months. The exterior has some flaws like a scratched front lip, fender liner clips are broken from age, tail lights has a small leak somewhere, Door seals are old but no water is making it into the interior yet just some noise. I plan to soon jack up the car and clean the fender wells too but I haven't had the time due to school. I have zero period and work right after school so I can only allocate a certain amount of time each weekend to fix up my car, but soon it will be super clean!
