Already fired up the engine so doing another catch up.....





Replaced three coolant hoses under the centre floor.

As seen on several NSX, already two of the hoses were very soft and was not surprised if they burst in the near future. Good call to replace them now.
Also, three of the pipe end were heavily corroded. I think they were actually leaking small amount of coolant from there.
Polished them off as much as possible and coated them with silicone compound before new hose installation.




By now, probably you saw so many times the similar photo in my blog.
Fresh Mobil 1 in the new filter. Not required but I have been doing this for ages now so no point in changing my procedure.


Extracted another about 200cc old oil from the top. This NSX is also showing the problem of dent oil pan base so probably tiny amount left around the corner edge of the pan.




New GND cable installed.
Looking so much better and since the battery looked to be fairly new, the damage to the battery terminal posts are minimum.
Should have really good bite once clamped.





As reported earlier, missing the CL pedal stopper behind the pedal and causing scratch marking. Many owners are driving their NSX without knowing that this small piece of blue plastic was missing.
New stopper installed.




While coolant hoses are out of the way, installed new CL master cyl.




New coolant hoses installed inside the front compartment.
Shiny new heater core pipe installed as it was kinked by someone in the past. Looked inside the fitting, it was already heavily corroded and causing powder like coolant residue so glad we replaced it before filling the coolant.





As reported earlier, wrong battery holder bracket used on one side and existing ones were both heavily bent.
Straighten it and replaced the wrong one with the correct spec.
