I remember when I was like 16 years old (circa 2004ish) I tried to convince my mom to get a pristine NSX that the dealer had for $32000 she got an 01 Malibu instead. Showed my mom how much it's worth now and she almost fainted😂😂
@@v.witlox560944 is not too bad, still some jacked up ones you could get, but i completely get it. 944 prestine are now going up and i need to get it before a broken one is 30k
I had a chance to get a 1991 back in 2014/15 when I was a technician @ Lexus of Greenville SC....the original owner traded it in on a brand new Lexus LFA....45k miles all service records all original paperwork including window sticker...and they were gonna let me get it for 5% over trade in value via employee pricing...it makes me sick to think about it...
@@ChrisF-fx5du you do know that engine oil degrades and breaks down after 6 months? Also if that stretched cambelt had broken it would have been a catastrophic failure. There's absolutely no need to run an engine in a performance car that has stood a long time until an oil change at least has been done, and intakes checked for rodents/nests ect. This guy got lucky, but In many cases engine damage such as big end bearings is the result.
I both love and dislike this build. It looks brilliant, but with honda on red i should be shared with white (old Japanese saying apparently) I love how the rear turned out, and I really didn't expect that.
There’s something about seeing a table filled up with brand new parts that just gets me going. Amen that part. That’s when the build is hitting its stride.
As someone who spent their Teens/Early 20's in the 1990's it is always good to see cars from that era brought back to their best... You Outdid yourselves with this one I think.
Genius, Genius. Lol how he popped out of the bathroom. Made watching this whole entire video worth it. Was like a little cherry on top of a Awesome video.
Never really comment but i think this video deserves it. First video i saw of this channel and I absolutely love it. Very entertaining, informative and cool to see. Also love that the video is so long
I've always wanted to do a rebuild project but now I'm old enough to know that its a very hard and expensive project! Watching someone complete it - is far better!
Well for someone who hasn't ever watched your channel. You got a sub from me for this NSX build. This model and the new NSX didn't get the credit it deserved when each came out. As they both age their place in the car world is getting up there. Thank you for posting the full build. But not knowing if the alignment worked after it's crash damage and not addressing that kind of made it seem as if you gave up on the car or you would have painted it. Because in no way shape or form is that worth 90k without paint and a steering rack and other stuff that wasn't shown on this video. The bumper and hood and fenders never lined up in your final shots. The rear window scoop was so Temu. Half the tail light was out on one video never saw it fixed. No shots of the final car driving or running. It all just ended like a let's call it good situation.
This is just how most youtubers rebuild cars, half ass and pump out the videos. But, how many NSXs do you get to see rebuilt on video, so they get the view from all the kids who don't know better and the people who do but have nowhere else to turn.
I am not lying, I seen Tavarish and other guys on UA-cam doing this stuff but you guys are not boring I must say that… I watched it from start to finish.
Yup, I literally looked up prices for them while I was watching this. Domestic units? Similar to the price of the NSX. Amazon "imports" ... $3,000 ish.
I haven't watched your videos in a while and this got recommended. I was at 11:11 in the video when you mentioned clearing out the car for a friend, so I thought "hmm I wonder what happened to Calvin and if they still hang out." I paused the video went and did some research, found out he's definitely still around so I came back and hit play. He shows up 10 seconds later...
This is the 1st video I have watched from you guys and you got a subscriber. Absolutely love NSXs and this was amazing to watch the progress! The sound of that Pride exhaust is amazing
Apache Pilot (maintenance test pilot) in Idaho completely redid one of these. Re-tubed the whole AC system, optimized everything, billet, safety-wired, to aviation-spec. Amazing redo.
Heck yeah $30k is CHEAP to the right buyer, just like $100k to the right buyer.... but even if you throw 30k at it and sell it for more than $60 it's all profit. I think yellow would be a great color and crinkle red valve covers 😂 but that skyline color is sick 👍👍
Even though I've never owned one, the gen 1 NSX is by far one of my favorite vehicles. The value and look of them still can seem like a car made in today's market, even though they were made over 30 years ago. I still hope to own one some day.
I just found your channel, UA-cam showed me this video and I had to watch it. Well done on the rebuild, I have always loved the NSX but never been in a position to buy one. Keep up the good work and I look forward to more content.
so very glad to see this NSX nearly complete. Looks absolutely glorious! Very well done TJ and Co. when it comes to the seats not a huge of Red seats when there's no red in the interior but this is my opinion it is your car.
I'm subbed and commenting at 5:44; you put that SO WELL. We're going to the point someone else couldnt/quit/etc; and this is where the fun begins. Oh' Im hooked on this already :)
I noticed your cabinet with all Meguiars car care. Guy you gotta get a hold of Bill at Lithium Auto care. Ask him to send you some samples, you’ll never ever look back! I’ve been in the body shop/collision repair industry for over 30 yrs. I’ve used everything under the sun, especially stuff you can’t get in stores! He’s a small U.S.A company & his stuff is amazing! If you contact him, tell him Jordan sent you! You won’t be sorry & I get nothing for telling you this, I’m just a customer….✌🏻🏁
they get meguiar’s products for free bc they’re long term sponsors so buying dollar store oven cleaner would literally be a waste of money. also please do not use oven degreaser directly on your engine
Na stick a LSX 454 in it, and be a big fast boob..😂😂😂 I’ve driven a lot of NXS ,and always hated how little power they have down low,and you’ve got to really be hauling butt,and RPM to get going and have fun, a big LSX has so much low end useable power that even at 20mph you can scream or 60 and back before a stock NSX could even think of going..
amazing build.. i happen to have 2 of them sitting around , a honda and an acura (possibly the only one in europe from 91 with 2k miles), and one day they'll be brought back to glorious state as well.
You should try using acetone next time to help clean the head covers . Soaking the head in a bucket with acetone and leave it for an hour. It works really well, you will be amaze how fast it cleans it.
Personally I would have done red valve covers I think they would give that mid engine a good pop through the rear glass, otherwise this was a really cool video and restoration what a beautiful car 🙌
Hello from Portugal I like to see your videos , great job on rebuild . For the color i would choose white pearl matte . A friend of mine have one honda s2000 in white and it looks amazin . Best regards
Amazing cars guys. Great ideal taking a basicly junked car and rebuilding it ti show how you can own your dream car for far less than market price if your willing to put in the work and can find the right shell to start
So great seeing an NSX brought back from the dead. Love your videos. Not a fan of that wing, kind of ruins the beautiful original lines but that's just my opinion. Nice work!
Fantastic choice of color eventhough the tan parts aren't really my thing. What I really love about the FD and NSX NA1 is they are the last 2 lightweight JDM hero cars. That's what makes them special to me. If I had to pick - NSX because that engine wil loutlast anything.
Nsx are sick, i even forgot about this car, now I remember how impressive it was, i was kid when first time say it. I even thought wow better than Ferrari lol
Just finished the video. Came out amazing. Only thing I would've done different is not wrap that carbon hood. Looks great either way though. Congradulations. 🎉
I remember when I was like 16 years old (circa 2004ish) I tried to convince my mom to get a pristine NSX that the dealer had for $32000 she got an 01 Malibu instead. Showed my mom how much it's worth now and she almost fainted😂😂
Did the same with 944s and MR2s about 8 years ago because I was too young, wish she did because they doubled in value where I live.

I can't believe you guys were right down the street from my work! Love the build, great job!
and throttl too
😂F😂🚜🚓🚓
Where this at? I'd love to look at the car.
@@harmonk8012 I think he means when they first collected the car
I'm sorry, but the black on tan interior looks amazing. Why would anyone even suggest changing it?
Blue
this is the one time i like tan interior
@@finnkay2832Honestly I love tan on a bunch of cars, especially german and British cars
That NSX was made in America
@@bobbyrowe4434 i said especially, not exclusively.
longest Maguires ad ive ever watched
Bouncing an engine off the limiter that's been standing almost a decade is always a good idea.
Gotta see if it holds up
If it's gonna go it's gonna go right away

pretty sure TJ wasnt worried even if it did, i mean look at his channel lol just would have made the video even better if he did a full build
@@berrybushwacker6357fo sure
Its a Honda, its fine. Not like its a ford or anything
Turns out cleaning all the parts your going to throw away and replace anyways is an incredible way to double the length of your video.
Tax return... lol
The ads every 5 minutes is brutal
I forgot ads existed ngl, premium is 110% worth it
No ads at all, get a better browser and wipe the cookies, it's your errors
@@nasrythfunes8265 ad blockers are free. cuck
how else would they be able to afford to pay $30k for a car that needs half of the components replaced
Just get premium like me stop being cheap
90's nsx's are sick, definatley my favorite sports car! Close second would be my old 1985 rx-7 gsl. It was a fun car when you're 19 years old.
FD4 were just so niiice. When I was a kid I used to "test drive them" from dealerships. They had no idea I was broke. :)
I both love and dislike this build. It looks brilliant, but with honda on red i should be shared with white (old Japanese saying apparently)
I love how the rear turned out, and I really didn't expect that.
Definitely?
Your next build should be a Mitsubishi 3000 GT
that would be a godsend video.
I’d rather see a Starion ESIR build.
would be a waste of money
as long as its the gto version!
As a '91 VR4 owner. I don't recommend it
There’s something about seeing a table filled up with brand new parts that just gets me going.
Amen that part.
That’s when the build is hitting its stride.
Man what a crime to leave a legend of a car like that rotting in the sun! So glad that you brought it back to its glory!
As someone who spent their Teens/Early 20's in the 1990's it is always good to see cars from that era brought back to their best... You Outdid yourselves with this one I think.
That has got to be one of the best looking production cars ever made,
Love the vibe in the shop, great to see a team having fun and working well together!
That green with a brass metal flake in it and gold wheels and trim would look sweet
Genius, Genius. Lol how he popped out of the bathroom. Made watching this whole entire video worth it. Was like a little cherry on top of a Awesome video.
1:18:58 OEM mirrors look better
Yes, I absolutely agree.
The OEM rear wing and the Oem mirrors would look a lot better on it.
I don't know how I got here, but I've been super hooked!
Took a 6 month break from watching your videos. heartbreak sucks but im backkk babyyyyy!!!
Never really comment but i think this video deserves it. First video i saw of this channel and I absolutely love it. Very entertaining, informative and cool to see. Also love that the video is so long
youtubers never add to the cost the value of the work hours put into it
I've always wanted to do a rebuild project but now I'm old enough to know that its a very hard and expensive project! Watching someone complete it - is far better!
Sitting for 7 years, 5 min later: floor it😂
TJ......That's one WICKED NSX !! Love your content. Thank you and your team for all the excellent content.

Not to mention the oil burn. It smoked worse than my old 2-stroke 250 Husqvarna. The engine should have been pulled apart into molecules.
@@MrMandelll the smoke is the rotary. you're supposed to mix oil in the fuel..... 🙄

a pleasure to come on this journey with you , what an epic looking and sounding car
What a fantastic find. Only problem, I have to fast forward every time he starts talking.
Great job on the work and bringing us through the process of cleaning and rebuilding this master piece.
You have to add to those 49,200. A overhead cost and labor rough fully 20,000.00 more. Total of 69,200.00. But I love the build good job.
I watched this video in parts for about a week and a half, it was an experience
I love how you guys work together
I am not lying, I seen Tavarish and other guys on UA-cam doing this stuff but you guys are not boring I must say that… I watched it from start to finish.
An ice blaster would have been a better investment, zero mess
Yup, I literally looked up prices for them while I was watching this. Domestic units? Similar to the price of the NSX. Amazon "imports" ... $3,000 ish.
Ice blasters are incredible. They make engines look brand new with no mess. Well worth the investment
ice blasting doesn’t use an abrasive. they needed an abrasive
i think that NSX model still one of the prettiest car...ever...just sick gorgeous (and that exhaust note is infectious)
I haven't watched your videos in a while and this got recommended. I was at 11:11 in the video when you mentioned clearing out the car for a friend, so I thought "hmm I wonder what happened to Calvin and if they still hang out."

Favourite part was how u opened all the brand new parts and showed them all. Love that stuff
this is one of the most beautifully done videos ive seen in a while
This is the 1st video I have watched from you guys and you got a subscriber. Absolutely love NSXs and this was amazing to watch the progress! The sound of that Pride exhaust is amazing
Dude i am so jealous of you that NSX looks so freaking good bro ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ i love it and i am now a subscriber

U got a like and a sub
That was awesome! I was locked in for that entire video.
I remember when you could buy a nice nsx for 50k and i thought that was high back then
Even though I've never owned one, the gen 1 NSX is by far one of my favorite vehicles. The value and look of them still can seem like a car made in today's market, even though they were made over 30 years ago. I still hope to own one some day.
Where do you guys get all of the out of the box Honda parts? I have a 1990 prelude that I can’t find anything but second hand parts for.
You can try dealerships, but they usually don't have what u need, but moog parts are pretty close to oem
I just found your channel, UA-cam showed me this video and I had to watch it. Well done on the rebuild, I have always loved the NSX but never been in a position to buy one. Keep up the good work and I look forward to more content.
This is far and away the best build. And so glad you did it right in Championship white. So amazing!
Needed this! No videos rn lol
Everything about this build is satisfying especially that front bumper replacement
cool car, but i can watch any more of these videos. the camara work is giving me a headache.

Look at that, damn near identical cars in look... Lots of creative thinking. The NSX one of my favorite cars.

I have watched your videos in awhile but this has been awesome! Great build! Great video!
Get some Sylvania led bulbs for the courtesy lights/door panels..It will make a big difference.Maybe for the trunk too.
Thank you sooooo much for not just being another youtube boob to put an LS in it.

When making the holes in the carpet, heat a old drill bit up and penetrate the carpet, get a perfect hole that wont frey

That nsx turned out really nice. Senna would be proud. Lol
the lights make it look faded compared to a miata. Looks dope
Long form content really shows of how convenient Premium is. No ads no stops nothing. Not distracting as well
THIS is what I want to see from this channel. A pos car being fixed up. Not new off the lot modded up
Interesting watch, like an example of what happens when detail guys get some tools, and a mechanic friend....
MIDNIGHT PURPLE! This channel is great. Keep it up.
I’m hoping he keeps this car bc this is such a legendary build to have in the garage
California sucks, when will that fault line do its job
Hello from Portugal
I like to see your videos , great job on rebuild .
For the color i would choose white pearl matte .
A friend of mine have one honda s2000 in white and it looks amazin .

The British national anthem starting at @1:51:08 while talking about fitting Swedish coilovers to a Japanese car is an interesting choice.

ive never seen a power washer cam before......i like it!

Man its my favorite car of all time and you did it right
Nsx are sick, i even forgot about this car, now I remember how impressive it was, i was kid when first time say it. I even thought wow better than Ferrari lol
Thank you for saving that classic rsx looks amazing
It’s always hilarious watching JDM shops like this work on “old” cars like this. If it starts up right away, you didn’t “save it from the junkyard”.
If you spray your calipers with clear high temperature paint they will stay looking new for a long time , and for the color of the car gunmetal gray.
Try cleaning using dry ice, for that brand new look finish and that clean environment aspect
definitley the funniest resto ive seen
I would suggest painting it white and putting a gold flake in the paint to bring the interior color and the exterior together
Just finished the video. Came out amazing. Only thing I would've done different is not wrap that carbon hood. Looks great either way though. Congradulations. 🎉
Nice rescue of a beautiful iconic car.
Absolutely mint could be the next James Bond car excellent matt
Nice. Just don't forget the airbag cover.
