Detailed: Acura NSX.....PIC INTENSIVE

Detailed: Acura NSX.....PIC INTENSIVE
Hey what’s up guys? I finally got my hands on one of the sexiest pieces of machinery that Honda Motor Co. has EVER produced; it was a 1994 Berlina black Acura NSX, the import benchmark of driver integration. The car was very tastefully modified and very well kept. The cockpit of this car is truly race inspired. Everything is so driver focused and reachable that it really does fit you like a glove. Its heavily bolstered leather seats, its close gated yet slick shifting 5 speed manual transmission and perfectly spaced clutch, brake and gas pedals all working in unison to provide you one of the most exhilarating driving experience the automotive industry has ever offered. Its doors closed shut with the not so typical hollow tinny feel of a Honda civic, but more along the lines of a deep heavy mechanical thud. I can only imagine how this car sounds and feels like with a perfectly rev matched heel toe down downshift when entering a corner.

There was some medium to heavy swirling throughout the body of this time attack monster and some etching on the roof and fenders from bird droppings. The NSX went through two polishing stages and one burnishing stage to bring out the true luster, depth, and clarity that Berlina black has to offer. Amazingly enough, the paint was pretty much orange peel free, and if there was any it was very minimal.

All plastics, vinyl, and leather were cleaned, conditioned and protected, the carpets were shampooed and foamed, and the paint received two coats of wax to ensure maximum coverage and protection. I cleaned underneath both engine bays, wiped everything down with a pH balanced shampoo, rinsed afterwards and then reconditioned and protected all reachable hoses to fight against drying and cracking, after all this car is 15 years old. The 90’s were really the decade for the import sports car era, 91-95 Mr2 2turbo, the 91-05 NSX, the 94-98 Toyota Supra, the 300z, and RX7 all of which had their fan base that is still up to this day stronger than ever. Its just too bad that many of today’s auto industry has forgotten about what true sport cars are supposed to be made of. Hopefully you guys enjoy this one, I really tried to revive the paint to its OEM show room specs. Thanks again Manh for giving me the opportunity to work on your stunning NSX.





































































50/50 of the passenger seat- I know its hard to see but, the left portion of the chair was cleaned and conditioned, and the right side was left untreated.
