My refresh / build

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..

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

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

HNY Buddy, and lets hope we can all look forward to summer of meets and drives!

Wow, what a hassle that was to try and find a NA1 NSX-R style bonnet for the car, (well I mean for a “reasonable” price). Ordered from Seibon , what they are calling a VSII style, but seems that I have to wait 10-12 weeks.

Anyway that will be the last part of the jigsaw, then it’s off to get the front panels sorted (they haven’t been right for years) and a nice new paint job.

I’ll do some before and after photos ........... I think this will be worth it .......... well I hope so!

Hi all, No major updates really, but new front badge has arrived (in the new colour that I need) a few items from Science of Speed have arrived in U.K. and expected to be with me on Tuesday and a new front bonnet ordered via Seibon U.K. that’tt take up to 12 weeks. I’ve spoken to the body shop about the respray once all the bits are here. I think end of May/ June will see my Phoenix rise though the ashes and my car won’t be the scruffy cousin at the next NSX get together .

Alway has this space !!!

Finally got around to fitting the JDM rear light clusters, and I have to say I love it. Why Honda had a different set up for U.K. I’ll ever understand as the jdm version (imho) looks far better, now I just need to work on the centre fog light conversion.

ABS delete. It has never worked on my car so I won’t miss it, and if need be I can retro fit at a later date (if I get the unit repaired /overhauled /upgraded).
