Hello everyone, my name is Chris and while i just registered today (i use web mail), I have been lurking around this board for many years and I finally was in a situation where i could buy an NSX and i did so yesturday.
It is a Black 91 MT w/ Ivory interior. VIN JH4NA1150MT003051
I dont have any photos yet but here is a copy of an old add for it here on prime: http://www.nsxprime.com/forums/showthread.php?t=92370
As you can see from the pictures it needs some cosmetic work and with 133k on the original clutch i will need to replace that soon as well.
I may have jumped the gun but i already ordered the missing interior panel from my local dealer and a few other odds and ends that werent too expensive (screws, bolts, clips etc.).
My plans for the car are to first; restore her to the exterior condition ALL NSX's should be in and then start getting the interior cleaned up and seats recovered. Mechanically the car is pretty solid and neither me nor my local mechanic could spot much that needed attention. The one BIG mechanical concern i do have is that i do not know when the timing belt was last changed. Anyone know a way to tell?
Other problems that i noticed was that the trunk was dripping wet after the 2 hour ride home. It was not wet outside and after searching many threads here on prime about the subject i think i must have either bad tail light gaskets or warped tail lights. Well i know they are a little warped because i can see a slight bulge but i doubt that can cause the rain forest i found in the trunk. My best guess is that most of the moisture was caused by a wet car cover stored in the trunk and unfortunately it funked out the trunk carpet something awful. I am in the process of trying the "sun method" of drying and deoderizing but i will probably just remove the insulation from the felt and replace it with new and febreeze the felt. I plan to leave everything out of the trunk until i find the source of the problem as to not funk it out again.
I would like to take this time to thank everyone who contributes to this site and say that i honestly would not have bought an NSX without the info i got here and i thank everyone for that because i LOVE the car. I use to own a 300z TT and a Supra TT and those cars also have great support sites.
I would also like to apologize in advance for my poor spelling and grammar.
I hope to meet some members soon and i plan on keeping my NSX for a long time.
Well, off to the WTB forum to post some of the parts i need.
