    From time to time, I was asked about the condition of the repaired NSX.

    I was lucky enough to be invited to have a look at some of the actual repairing process in the past.
    There were variety of damages but most of them were caused by spinning off at the track as well as the accident on the public road.

  3. A/C Evaporator

    by , 13-01-2011 at 11:01 PM (Today at Atelier Kaz - ex-Honda R&D, F1, Indy/CART engineer)
    Had to focus on other projects so only limited time being spent on this NSX today.


    Started to clean the A/C evaporator.

    Initially, I was thinking about using the hand held vacuum cleaner but as soon as I started using it, it was clear that it was not up to the job.

    Although the debris looked dry, it was tangled with the surface fins of the evaporator.

    Time to pressure bleed the entire system.


    The traditional theory of bleeding from the furthest point from the brake master cyl won’t apply for some of the modern cars.


    In fact, you can’t even bleed the air on some of the models without activating their ABS modulator.


    For most of the latest ABS on NSX, S2000, etc, you will bleed the system from the front side.


    You can still ...

    There were so many extra cables inside the cabin under the dashboard and it took me extra hours to remove the original ABS controller as well as tidying up the cables.


    For security reason, I will only show the photos to the owner but some of the UK spec NSX would be in the similar condition.


    There was no factory fitted CAT1 immobilizer on earlier models and thus, all of them would be dealer ...
