A quick celebration for a new owner and his first NSX! I got a lot of help along the way from fellow primers while searching for it and am eternally grateful. I hope to return the favor soon.
I have a 97 yel/blk with 62K. It's only had a new O2 sensor and brake pads other than the standard oil changes. I have had the car for about a week and put together a list of "would be good to fix" items and am requesting the opinion of knowledgeable primers on what they would do. The items are:
1. battery- no brainer of course (main problem right now)
2. coolant is leaking- probably the plastic expansion tank
a. should I just replace it with an OEM plastic one or a polished metal one?
b. where can I buy a polished one?
c. I am getting condensation on the inside of the trunk lid after driving it.
d. There is also lots of condensation in the tail light lenses and wing LEDs. Maybe from the engine coolant?
3. timing belt- I've read all about this on NSXPrime
4. while the engine is out for the timing belt should I replace the clutch knowing there's 62K miles on the car?
a. I am not a racer and plan on putting about 5K miles a year on the car (it is a second car).
b. If I should replace the clutch which clutch should it be?
c. How many miles do stock clutches last on an NSX?
d. The current clutch is working fine, no slippage.
I'd love to know what you guys think about this and look forward to the discussion and thanks much in advance.
