Well hook um' horns (i think thats how it goes) I'm in for a tb and pump change, tranny and engine swap, fuel pump replacement, clutch replacement, SC install, but If you cant get all that done, I would be happy re-tightening my front lip spoiler. :tongue:

 

[donwon]

Oh yeah, Depending on the date, I may be able to offer up my place if you needed it.

I may/may not have a lift installed by mid-late June.

 

[BlKeViL]

Hey DONWON,
I didnt know you've moved down here already. Your list is too long man, if you dont mind I will pick up your silver NSX and will have it back to you within a year with all service done by then.

[donwon]

I'm not down there yet, but I should be moved in by first week of June just in time for the blazing heat.

If you do it July+, then im sure there would be no problems having it my place.

Hey Mike

While we are at it, Like to paint my calipers too.

Mike don't forget about this weekend Laos New Year, if your still interested going.

 

[whatisreal7]

yeah my sparco torinos will take a week to get here, and besides the seat install i just need to paint the calipers. I can offer up my place, but it only has a two-car garage...although right next to me (I am the end unit) is two parking spots under a big tree w/ shade, so if people want to utilize that its cool with me.

don't mess w/ nsx'es!

Any prospect of aftermarket headers/exhaust-manifolds being installed?!? :tongue:

If-so, I'll be there w/ my NSX, headers, and a large cooler of marinated-animalia of various species awaiting bbq'ing!

 

[whatisreal7]

for heavier mods, we may have to wait until donwon's lift is in place in July. For now, we may have to resort to lighter and cosmetic mods.

Who's down for painting calipers this weekend? Saturday afternoon?

 

[BlKeViL]

Re: don't mess w/ nsx'es!

Yep, heavy mods we need a lift to do it. When you ready to do the install dont forget the o2 wires extention otherwise your CEL will stay on.
Exhaust is no problem for that day.

[Osiris_x11]

plan wisely...

Das ist sehr kuhl... ja!?!

I look fwd to that summer wrench-bench session!

Regarding caliper painting, this is just my personal insight...

Perhaps you can use the NSX DIY session to prep' your calipers/bracket for painting w/ enamel & clear-coat later. The caliper-refinishing process works bests over a few days... {for long-lasting, near-professional look}

Ex.

Materials:
~ plastic-sheeting/trash-bags/newspaper and painter's tape [$5.00]
~ 2 cans brake-cleaner spray [$2.50/each]
~ metal-bristle brush [$2.50]
~ metal-file [$2.50]
~ grinding/sanding attachments for sander/drill/rotary
~ wet-sandpaper: 600/800 & 1000/1200 [$7.50]
~ steel-wool [$2]
~ can of high-temp. primer (optional) [$5.50]
~ can of high-temp. enamel paint [$5.50]
~ can of high-temp. clear-coat [$5.50]


Prep:
- Cover fender, liner, and other body panels w/ plastic-sheeting & newspaper using painter's tape
- Use brake-cleaner spray: liberally use on caliper, bracket, etc'...
- Scrape and clean caliper & bracket w/ steel brush or wired-bristle attachment on drill or rotary device
- Respray brake-cleaner spray
- Using handheldsander, rotary, or file... smooth caliper & bracket surface to preferred level of satisfaction
- Wet-sand/steel-wool (medium-to-fine grit) prior to primer or initial enamel coverage

Day 1a:
- Layer of high-temp. primer or superficial coat of high-temp. enamel (acts like 'wetter')
- Let dry (very short interval: few minutes)
- 1st coat of high-temp. enamel coat
- Let dry (short interval: 15-20 minutes)
- 2nd coat of high temp. enamel
- Let dry (long interval: overnite or 8-10hrs)

Day 1b:
- Wet-sand/steel-wool (medium-to-fine grit)
- 3rd coat of high temp. enamel
- Let dry (short interval: few minutes if planning 4th enamel coat)
(long interval: overnite or 6-8hrs if planning clear-coat next)
- *optional 4th coat of high temp. enamel
- Let dry (long interval: overnite or 6-8hrs)

Day 2a:
- Wet-sand/steel-wool (fine grit)
- Superficial coat of high temp. clear-coat (acts like 'wetter')
- Let dry (very short interval... few minutes)
- 1st coat of high-temp. clear-coat
- Let dry (short interval: 15-20 minutes)
- 2nd coat of high-temp. clear-coat
- Let dry (long interval: overnite or 6-8hrs)

Day 2b:
- Wet-sand/steel-wool (fine grit)
- 3rd coat of high-temp. clear-coat
- Let dry (long interval: overnite or 6-8hrs)

Day 3:
- Wet-sand (ultra fine-grit)
- Polish/wax/buff
- Scrape/grind 'NSX' letters w/ file or rotary device (Dremel)

UPDATED !
I will have the installs weekend at my NEW shop (ARLINGTON,TX.)
we can fit all the car in the garage, so you have till the end of the month
to orders whatever you needs for your NSX. I am looking at the first week
of JUNE (06/03/75).
BONUS: You can see my new project of a HSC in person.

 

[whatisreal7]

I will be in Asia first half of June for business trip, so probably can't make that time. If its right before, or right after, I am totally down to check out the new shop! Is this just a hobby of yours, or are you going to turn it into a business?
