I always wondered why people don't change the cam sensor as well. They tend to puke tar on the floor and working or not, it's approching 20 years old and is a major task to change once the engine is back in place. Maybe I'm just paranoid.:redface:

 

[nbuch001]

I didn't think of that but you bring up a good point. At this point I guess I'll just see what happens.:redface:

 

[kj5000]

Mind mentioning the total cost? Mine is in need of just about all the items you had done.

 

[nbuch001]

PM me.

I'm hoping to drop my car off with Ramon this Saturday. He had too many NSX's to fit me in last week but now that your car is done, hopefully I can get in. :biggrin:

My car is there as we speak getting tb/wp/hoses/camseals/cam plugs/all gaskets/ tensioner/ full 90k service. Can't wait to see the results.

Ramon is a good guy who we've worked with in the past. I'm glad to see his quality of service is paying off with lots of new customers.

Cheers,

I always get work done at Niguel Motors. Ramon and Tom are great guys..

Next up.. getting the NSX-R front chassis reinforcements installed along with a Dali-Racing swaybar. Plus Ramon is going to install some 'custom' running lights. Saw them on his NSX and boy, does it look nice! (plus some new HIDs)

I hope he can fit me in! he sounds busy this week

Yeah I had to call a few times to get my car in but Ramon was really nice about it. Another one of his customers was waiting for an RPS clutch for his turbo NSX but it was taking a while to get it from SOS. Don't know whose car is was but the color was grey. Really cool to see though.

Hopfully you will be as happy as I was. I am pretty meticulous about the car and I found that he was quite detail oriented. He even managed to take care of bleeding my brakes and ABS system without me asking. Nice touch I thought. Make sure you get the car aligned if he is dropping the engine. My rear was a little off after but that is to be expected as fas as I am concerned.
