Today at Atelier Kaz - ex-Honda R&D, F1, Indy/CART engineer

The ball joint boot at the FR, RR and RL were damaged for some reason.
Although the owner wanted to have it replaced, it’s not cost effective to separate the ball joint just for replacing the boot so will try de-greasing them as much as possible and apply thick coat of liquid gasket.




The inboard joint at the right drive shaft has just started leaking the grease.
It’s already making the clicking noise so at some point in the future, needs refurbishment.
Again, someone is going to struggle removing that lower A-arm bolt without first removing the cross beam…..






Not sure of the make of this aftermarket header but as it needs small trimming at the cross beam, probably TopSpeed, OBX, etc or equivalent.
It’s way too close to the A/C compressor and in fact, the one on this NSX died (possibly by the heat from the header) with lots of black debris splashed around the front fire wall.




Probably someone misjudged the position of the aftermarket fuel pressure regulator…..
There were three holes drilled at the front boot panel when you need only two…..




For some reason, this engine was equipped with 2 x Front IG coil cover.
This means that the gasket at the rear bank was positioned at the lower side and doing nothing and letting water to enter the area freely.
Fortunately, the owner has installed Jonathan’s Rear bank water protection tray (don’t know the official name….) so it didn’t get wet even without the gasket at the proper position.

As the original design of this IG coil cover is no longer available and considering the very tight space available under the aftermarket fuel pressure regulator, I’ll re-use one of the front covers and place the proper rear side gasket so that it can be used in place for the rear bank. Just put it upside down and use the correct gasket as it's sided and change the label at the back as RR instead of FR.
