Well I just wanted to thank a few of you guys for the help with my clutch job and a few other things.
Nsxpowered for the clutch
LarryB for the alignment tool
Chris at SOS for the oil pan baffle and dual din bracket
ENSSEX for the 05 emblems
VBNSX for his great DIY clutch thread http://www.nsxprime.com/forums/showthread.php?t=112861
and everyone else who is always posting up answers to all of our DIY questions
I have not been able to drive my new car almost all summer due to one thing or another and after being down for the last month she is back on the road again thanks to a stage 1 RPS clutch. I gotta say I love this clutch. It really hooks up. I almost did a wheelie when I pulled out of the garage the first time, lol. I'm running a BBSC and don't think I ever really felt all this car had to offer with the worn down stock clutch. Now I have to painfully drive around civilized for a few hundred miles waiting for this thing to break in.
While the car was down I took advantage and did some other things also.
I welded a baffle into the oil pan fixed leaky gasket
New rear main seal
Changed the plugs and did compression test
Installed bilstein shocks
Fixed a CV boot
New axles seals
Painted calipers and rotors
'05 emblems-removed ACURA from taillight
DF CF plate bezel
Installed full stereo system, dual din Eclipse Nav, Boston Pros, 2 amps, still working on sub and console trim
I read the DIY up above and didn't have to open the manual until I needed torque specs and patterns. It really was not to hard if anyone is thinking of doing it themselves. I bought the tranny jack he used also and it worked just fine for me. I would suggest buying a new rear main seal in case yours is leaking even though Larry told me they don't usually leak. I ended up having to wait a week for it after removing the flywheel and seeing it was leaking. The only problem with this car is that you have to order eveything and sometimes wait like two weeks for stuff to come. I recieved my clutch master cylinder and slave 4 days late and just couldn't wait, so I'll have to do that sometime here. Next I move up the engine, doing spool valve gaskets, valve cover, cam seals, hoses, ect. Front bank is real leaky but the back looks OK. I'm getting this thing ready for a Lovefab turbo kit, hopefully this spring. After that I will be working on some cosmetic touches, maybe a 02 front end conversion and a new color. Thanks again for everyones help.
