    The existing coolant hoses looked to be from original and really tired.

    Lots of rust on the hose cramp and the pipes.


    Looks like the pipes hidden by the hose are already corroded and I’ll be spending hours cleaning them again….

    Glad it’s not winter yet….

    Another owner visited my place to have his NSX serviced.


    I carried out the Health Check on this NSX last year and the owner wanted to address most of the high priority items together with another Health Check session.


    I’ll be carrying out TB/WP/Valve Clearance service, full cooling system refurbishment, brake overhaul, etc.

    It’s going to be very busy schedule for several weeks again…

  4. Air Con CCU Board Service 01

    Another owner sent in the CCU board to have it serviced.

    As I already started working on another NSX, decided to finish this board first before I was getting too busy.
