Man it's good to be back in the NSX again! After being in the shop for over 6 weeks (mostly waiting on parts from Japan), I finally got to drive it home yesterday.
I've got to hand it to Rob. The car is running absolutely beautifully now -- definitely better than before! I feel like I have more power/better acceleration but it could be my imagination from not having driven it for so long. But it's definitely running smoother/quieter -- no question about that. Rob was meticulous about replacing any parts that were starting to wear out and spent a lot of time getting the valve timing just perfect etc.
I hadn't used Rob before, but he came highly recommended from Stu, Dave, and others. Now I'm VERY GLAD I went with him. The pride in his work, his willingness to explain everything in laymans terms, and his attention to detail are in a class of their own. It's not often you can spend so much money and come away feeling really good about the money you spent. On a 91, you start worrying about things possibly failing -- but after Rob went through it, and completely refreshed the engine I feel like I can throw another 100k km's at it with no worries.
I also have to say that his rates were very reasonable, and I felt bad about hogging up his lift for so long while the parts were delayed from Japan, but he was very gracious about the whole thing. All in all, it was a pleasure dealing with Rob and I would HIGHLY recommend him to any NSX owner looking for any work on their car. He's really out of the way for me, but now I know that if I ever have anything major I need done, I will be taking my car to him alone!
It definitely sucked not having my car for so long, but I still have 2-3 months of decent driving weather so all is not lost yet
