NA2 project 2017

[marknsx]

Imola orange 1999 in need investment.
do I strip down and go the Type R route or restore to former glory?
cat d car known by many in the club.
Any thoughts from those with experience?
no air con. Tired paintwork. A number of internal cosmetic issues. OEM except the wheels and a nasty Bluetooth device substitute for the original guts of the head unit.
Other issues no doubt exist. The engine and gear box function well.
where do I get the work done? Can I share it with the other club members.
money is tight as Brexit has meant the reduction in business. So slow ahead is the order of the day.
thoughts anyone?

Hi Marknsx,

Own it, enjoy it, focus on business growth.

I suspect you've bought as a long term ownership, if correct, then there's no rush on choosing cosmetic direction be that stock, facelift or R variant.

If it were mine, I'd focus on mechanical overhaul and refresh of the items not usually serviced. Two examples on my NSX are the full brake overhaul, pedal feel and driving performance massively improved. The other was swapping out tired OEM shocks for Bilsteins, retained stock springs and the capabilities of the NSX simply jumped up several levels. There are plenty of other ideas that you can research by checking other build threads on the forum of of course the very informative blogs from Kaz.

Whichever way you choose to go, feel free to start your own refresh rebuild thread on the forum. It will provide you a record of progress, may well help others along the way, and would be a good place to post questions when you may need some help yourself.

Best regards, Paul

I thought this one was properly sorted out 4-5 years ago?

[marknsx]

No appears not

[marknsx]

No the pop ups

You are right Paul. It's annoyance at not being able to push on. I want to get the car running for trips first. Can someone tell me what I need to look at to check that the abs is working. No lights come on at anytime!

Not Ary's old car?
