Spring Cleaning Ideas

[DDozier]

I know it winter for most of us, but since the car was sitting idle I decided to clean a few things I had not had the time to shine this summer. It was to hard to get in those little tiny spots in the engine bay so I got a few things out of the way and the cleanup went much smoother.

I hope this inspires the rest of you guys to clean your cars up.

Ok - there has to be more to the story! :biggrin:

(Incidentally, could you have your thumbnails link to bigger images? The linked versions are only marginally biggger than the thumbnails)

Well it all started when I decided to change this hose, and since I was to this point it just made since to do everything at the same time, so I did the t-belt, waterpump, all hoses, all belts, shocks, all fluids, valve lash, rerouted a few wires to follow the factory harneses from the UEGO install, doubled the size of all ground wires, and resprayed the undercoating to match the factory look. Took me the weekend (and a week to wait for parts)then I put her back together, big thanks to Larry B. for the tech support by phone, big help. And I almost forgot And very big thankyou for SJS, a man with more on his plate than anyone and still he takes the time out to help a novice like me for a day, THANK YOU Steve.

You can have a lift like that for less than you spent on your wheels.:biggrin:

Ya, that lift has not been all that much fun for you, you got the Vette broke in yet, man the weather is going to be almost 60 today, I need to finish some last min shopping then out with the X for a little drive.

I am going to start on the interior after the new year, wait till you see the pics of that after I pull the dash.

That stupid dash garnish panel by the windsheild has to be replaced, mine has the usual crack by the daylight sensor for the climate control, no way to repair or replace without pulling the dash. I did it on my last X as well and it really is not to hard, just takes time. I think I may go ahead and pull all the wires for a future stereo upgrade, just in case I decide to do it. I hate the thaught of replacing the head unit but the new ones offer so much more.

I'm confused, don't you have a red nsx? What's with the Silver one in the first group of pics? Did you respray your entire car or something?
