Painted engine components and brake calipers. This makes a huge difference on an exposed engine. The coolant tank looks like a gallon of milk sitting in the engine. That will be the next replacement.

Cheers,

Justin

Does look good. Funny about the jug of milk, better get that out of the sun before it spoils.

I don't know what's available to replace the coolant overflow in an NSX. Have to assume something nice already exists, but here's something used in Z cars that you might be interested in checking out.

Polished Radiator Overflow Reservoir

Motorsport Auto (MSA) is a great vendor for Z parts. We all do a tom of business with these guys.

Thanks for the pic. I am probably going to go with this or something similar and red hoses to complete the look. It will have to wait till after X-mas since I am moving later this month and the NSX will be in the Garage for a long while.

Your tires do not match, but the brakes look good.

I was trying to find a set of four matching kDW tires on ebay so I would have a spare set once they go bad.
After watching ebay every week for the past four months I have had no luck. I am going to Costco once it warms up to get some more KDWs for the front.
BTW the KDW tires are sic!

Those weren't the rear tires you were sporting when you did your impromptu lawn mowing over the summer were they???

No, that is why I got the KDW. Twice the grip of Kuhmo.

I was thinking Goodyears for my next set. You'd recomend KDW's ever them? I don't know anything about those at all.

I can assure that the bf goodrich kdw tires are indeed "the s**t",
They only run good above 40 degrees ambient temperature. I have tried to break the tires loose in a parking lot and can't do it.

Please remember my wheels are 10inch in the back and 8.5 in the front so it is harder to break them loose..
