This broke my heart SANDY

[nsxtasy]

I can read the first five letters of the VIN

I think you mean the first six characters. Since characters 4-6 tell that it's an NA1. And the sixth character is the one that distinguishes NA1 from NA2.

dohhhhhhhh:redface: its iether a 95-96

Not necessarily, unless you're seeing something I don't. Some NA1 cars with red roofs and popup headlights left the factory for all model years '95-01. (Not to mention owners who repainted the roofs of their '91-94 NA1 cars to match the body.)

 

[arista5]

passed this one tonight

 

[LJSB]

I would hate for some back yard guy that knows nothing about NSXs get this, clean it and sell it to a unsuspecting buyer. It has been known to happen before.

Lol. Who are you referring to? :biggrin:

 

[shawn110975]

Ken the car looks to be a t roof,if that vin is an na1 vin then it would have to be a 95-96.

Ken to my eye it looks to be a t roof..if so and the vin is a na1 vin then it would have to be a 95-96.

 

[shawn110975]

DOCJOHN the auction lists it as a 1995

Not necessarily. Remember, all the automatics sold in '97-01 were NA1, so it could be a '97-01 also. (The automatics sold in '02-05 were also NA1 but didn't have the popup headlights.)

[shawn110975]

bought it cheap now tring to flip it. LOL or he got it and found more issues than he though or wants to tackle.
someone buy it and I will fix it for ya. good as new. I have enough parts to bring her back to life trust me.

 

[NA1MT]

Chances are that car was completely submerged under salt water. Every inch of wiring will need to be replaced to make it right. I have been replacing irrigation timers that got submerged in the storm, and within one week after the storm all the wires and terminal posts had corroded enough that I have been cutting back the wiring before hooking back up to new timers. With salt water damage, you may initially get everything to work after it dries, but within a few months the corrosion issues will start to take place.

Flood cars are a no no. They are a temping poison. It's not the aluminum that's the problem. It's every wire, union, connector, module, ground and on and on.

These cars are headaches and never get sorted out well enough to be trouble free.
They work for a while and then they break, and break, and break.

this car was in a fire not a flood.

this car was in a fire not a flood.

I was not referring to a specific car, just flood cars.

Fire cars have a plethora of potential problems as well.
A few come right to the top;

1) Any metal body panel burned... discard it.

2) Wires, connectors burned, discard.

3) When connectors or wires burn and lose their insulation, shorts occur causing immediate and often catastrophic damage to the modules/ECU's that control said system.
Send power through a ground for just a moment and you can destroy any other module/ecu using the same ground source. If the damage done is not complete it may take awhile before the system loses it integrity and without warning fails later.

4) How the fire was extinguished, the method or materials used impact could catastrophically impact the relevant vehicle electronic or fluid systems.
