My refresh / build

[unclebob]

now that is spectacular, did you use the nsx prime pages as your guide for this?

Looks good. I recall Sudesh did this to a car he was refreshing ... http://www.nsxcb.co.uk/showthread.ph...Refresh/page71 post no. 28. Although that was possibly a more challenging colour change, from tan to black.
The car Sudesh refreshed might be this car for sale at Plans at the moment. http://www.pistonheads.com/classifie...al/4942444?v=b,

Uncle bob - I'm guessing you mean the dash and not the carpets? I bought all the bits from a member on Prime and used his install guide.

Peter, yeah I think so, if it was the same dye, it pretty much covers any colour. I only really needed 1 coat, but i guess lighter colours would take about 2-3 coats. Dries really quick too.

does everything work? odometer? guages etc? did u splice your loom? what was the final cost to you?

There's a guy making ready made kits on nsxprime if you're interested. They're from a Scandanavian guy and look very well made...Plug & Play more or less I believe..

Yes it all works fine, it was almost a plug and play kit, but maybe not quite as easy as the complete kits for sale on prime now. The loom i received was complete, but i did have to splice 1 wire into the loom of the ECU to get the temp gauge to work, and there were a few mods behind the dash to do but nothing too difficult.

If I remember correctly, for some reason the Cruise control on the cluster stayed on, but i cured this by simply removing the bulb! I rarely use the cruise control, and when i do, I don't really need a light to tell me its on.

I'm hoping to get the car out for a decent drive this weekend to double check everything.

As for the final costs, i really can't remember as it was so long ago. The wiring loom I came from a guy on Prime and although I bought a AP1 dash (the early S2000 one) I was convinced to sell it and buy the AP2 version, which looks a little more modern and the red line is in the same place as the NSX. Hagasan might be the best person to ask about the costs, I really can't remember.

Hope that helps.

With the amount of weight removed by this upgrade the back end must be flying high now Jim ... lol
