    Nothing new or special here.

    Just remove the old coolant hoses and replace them with the new ones.




    Even for this low mileage, fairly late model NSX, the corrosion at the cooing sys pipes already started so
    it was a very good decision to carry out the cooling sys refresh this time.

    Saves the time and cost for the owner. ...
  2. OEM Coolant Header Tank

    On several occasions, I had to work on NSX with aftermarket coolant header tank (or Expansion tank) and also asked from many owners regarding the use of aftermarket one.


    Although they look nice, I saw several issues such as cap not secure enough, leaking coolant due to crack at the welding, design issue with tank expanding under pressure, etc.


    As far as I know, I have never seen an aftermarket header tank

  3. Cooling Sys 01

    In the middle of replacing all of the coolant hoses, cramps,
    thermostat, header tank, tank cap, etc.


    As there was sign of someone tampering with the idle adjust screw
    in the past and looking at how dirty the TH butterfly was,
    decided to remove the TH body while emptying the coolant.
    In this photo, just wiped the bottom

  4. It was one of those days...

    that things just don’t go as planned.....



    Whenever I work on the brake or inside the wheel arch, I normally
    power wash the area before starting the service.
    However, for this NSX, the paintwork, wheel, tyre and wheel arch looked
    very clean even after the test driving session so decided not to wash it.

    Bad idea.

    Already in the process of removing the brake caliper and coolant hoses so
    doing bit of catch up updating the blog.





    For some reason, someone trimmed part of the door handle at both R & L sides.
