Transcripts
this is the video that I have been
waiting to film out of this whole entire
rebuild in the last couple videos we've
reserved the engine cleaned all the
interior pieces we've cleaned the whole
subframe we've fixed wiring Gremlins and
now we're moving on to putting back the
interior and making the car look a
little bit nicer so right here I have a
box that was imported from Japan that is
consisting of a bunch of pieces we were
missing a glove box let's put that aside
we're talking brand new in b
be oh please for the love of God be very
careful with that this is a key part to
the interior love seeing that let's put
that to the side ooh I think this is
actually the tack pezel yeah the tackel
oh there's your button are we missing
that button no no your button for the
headlights oh look there's a TCS button
in here ours was broken and we bought
one that's Weir ours is located in the
center pil really uh-oh is this an na2 I
don't know maybe we got the wrong bezel
we'll find out stay tuned this is good
Cal right here this is R34 style
restoration look at that brand new
window trims yeah window trim brand new
UN boxed window trims look at the felt
you see the felt fresh fresh felt not
dirty not dirty felt we love that Honda
Honda what do we got
go oh baby yeah don't break that we know
all about this that is a very very so it
falls off the table and cracks here's
the old one looks pretty clapped out
here's the new one
absolutely brand new let's get a
close-up on the button
press oh just a good old
one oh new one nice fresh produce that's
good looks right
there I don't even want to touch it Cal
look at look at that leather please oh
it's fresh it's like factory factory new
ooh this is heavy this is really heavy
oh that's a good piece it's really
heavy yeah that's the thing you're going
to interact most with oh my gosh I think
we spent close to $5,000 on pieces Jesus
Oh
fresh BNI I also have a box here from
our friend Brian who had a bunch of NSX
Parts ooh okay our car came with nothing
in the trunk so he actually had a spare
trunk liner look at that oh look at all
the oh they're all the bits yeah yeah
that's huge D we didn't have any of that
finding lips for this car is pretty
difficult the style that I wanted you
couldn't find anywhere but he actually
had one and he said it's a little bit
damaged but it's repairable so I said oh
we'll take it so you can see right here
there's a little bit of a little bit of
damage but nothing a little Bondo can't
fix there is something about seeing a
table filled up with brand new parts
that just gets me going so now that we
have all these laid out we're going to
start swapping over the pieces that we
can some of these components look like
this armrest that's going to go in the
center console we also have some radio
pieces and some vent pieces that also
need to get transferred over now a lot
of these pieces came from a place called
Ma I'm going to link them down below
they started to support us after the
last episode they've been sending us
some good parts so if you need something
for your NSX check out ma it's link down
below interrupting Calvin's time lapse
to show you a box I just got from ma as
well one thing that was requested was
all o replacement clu and hoses now this
job would have been much easier to do
with the engine out for the sake of time
and for YouTube we put it in and we're
like we we do it later we didn't think
we'd get this so soon there's also a
fair amount of products in here that Ma
makes themselves that they sent out some
of the stuff that you can't get new they
actually refurbish themselves like this
piece I don't know when we install all
these door pieces I'll show you so you
guys can get a good look at what they
actually are they also make a really
cool shift knob that was really excited
on and it looks like the NSX R shift
knob and oh man that feels and looks
great so this is the rear hatch bezel
and vent it's a new one
and this is the old one new hotness this
is the new one a this smells really good
damn
[Music]
while we're in the back I'm going to go
ahead and install our new Wing this is
like an NSX R style Wing very popular
and common Wing among the nsx's for good
reason it looks really good let's put it
on
all right now you clip
it
nice done odds are no one's told you and
it looks like it's going to be my job to
remind you the bed that you've been
using for the last 10 years or the bed
you moved out to college with that
you're still using today is disgusting
it's old and it's time for you to get a
new one this is your wakeup call because
I've been using this Helix Sleep
mattress for years now and it's been one
of the best sleep decisions that I've
ever made because I'm actually getting a
good night rest what makes heix sleep so
great is that they have a quiz you can
take online so within all their
mattresses that they sell the quiz will
determine which mattress is best suited
for you and your plus one that is also
sharing the bed with you now I'm a backs
sleeper and I like a medium to firm
mattress which is why I got paired with
the midnight Lux mattress and truly one
of the best things about Helix sleep is
the fact that you can order this
mattress online no need to waste time go
to a store you can order it and they'll
deliver it to your front door in a a big
box with a vacuum sealed bag and all you
do is drag it to the desired room cut it
open let it inflate over the next few
hours and you're ready to rip for a good
night rest now I get it ordering a
mattress online without being able to
try it seems like kind of sketchy but
you can actually try this thing out for
100 nights of sleep for free and if you
don't like it you can ship it back to
them and you can get your money back and
on top of all that if you go to
helixsleep.com
TJ hunt you can get your mattress for
20% off plus two free pillows or or just
cck the links Down Below in the
description to capitalize on the
mattress sale now thank you so much
Helix Le for sponsoring this video and
now let's get back to it while C's
working on the interior while I've been
working on the back of the wing Dylan
has been in the interior of the car
dealing with probably one of the most
unfun jobs you could possibly ever do on
a car had to lift all the carpet that we
did which is fine Fold It Forward and
and tap every single B hole for the seat
and then uh since I did that I've been
basically kind of just like you eyeball
it take a look right here eyeball it
kind of hold your finger in some place
so let me see the hole can you see how
grimy it
is yeah dude um basically you hit it
with smaller drill bit and a larger
drill bit and then you're able to put
the bolt through it and then I've been
chasing it with a tap and then I have a
tapered bolt somewhere here that I've
been using that has like a a guiding
bolt nose yeah yeah damn all right well
he just finished the passenger side got
bolts going through all of them so
that's good oh just left a print on the
carpet you did yep you oh yeah [ __ ]
it ain't do
anymore don't be in that pocket now now
it's a pooby trap we have a diffuser
that we're going to be throwing on this
car just a little carbon bit car doesn't
need much cuz it already has skirts and
a few other pieces but did feel that the
rear needed just a little more in the
back so got this cool carbon diffuser
for it and while we're waiting for Ian
to finish pinning out the electrical on
the wing I'm going to Chuck this
on heck yeah oh wow is it heavy dude you
could honestly take like 35 lb off this
car just getting rid of the
bumper It's just like you still can't
see it because it's green it's really
ugly turns out that rear bumper was an
absolute nightmare to take off there
were so many pieces of Hardware but I
guess that's '90s technology this is our
new diffuser and it calls to reuse all
of the Fasteners that came up the stock
bumper so have a little bit of
modification to do to make sure this
thing fits nice and tight so it doesn't
end up flying off on us but it looks
good we're adding a lot of carbon to
this car and I saw all the comments in
the last video a lot of you guys
suggested going white with the car and
then doing mag blue wheels and having
all the carbon exposed and that would
match our RX7 so right now I'm kind of
leaning towards doing that there's a few
other colors I'm considering but the
white is tempting so thank you for all
the suggestions we had over 5,000
comments in the last video your voices
are heard so whatever feedback you guys
have is if you want to see us do
something leave it down below cuz trust
me we listen now let's modifi this
diffuser so it fits the bumper assemble
it and put it back on the
[Music]
car ooh I like it a lot way more
aggressive
oh oh
no oh it's going to look sick exhaust on
it I know yeah this going to be sick
it's really
cool and now my favorite part of this
episode putting back all the brand new
pieces but this is what I saw from the
very beginning I saw the potential and
seeing it come together is one of the
most satisfying things of this whole
entire
build
while we tackled the interior Ian went
ahead and hand polished the OG HKS
intake that came on the car and got it
looking mighty fine the NSX comes with a
cassette player right here a lot of
people end up modifying the center
console and they end up like making
their own hole for a double D and then
just like Bondo the rest of it so it's
Sleek that's what was done to ours we
ordered a brand new one so it has the
cassette player stuff we're obviously
not going to Source an old cassette
player just because we'll add audio to
this car I don't know what we're going
to do yet so we'll have a little hole
for now but we will sort that eventually
that's going to need to come
out this is the first time that we've
actually had this interior in the car
which is really cool to see I don't know
if you got a shot of it but yeah look at
that that is so rad to see that together
this is my favorite thing about this
whole entire project it's that we
sourced a lot of new interior bits that
we were just missing but it's really
cool to take what was once left to rot
and who knows if or is ever going to see
the L of day again or what was left to
become a parts car and to put in some
love some elbow grease and some
Maguire's product this we didn't Source
new we just like heavily cleaned it and
brought it back it may not be perfect
but it's like more than good enough to
where if you got in it once the car was
done you would like look back there and
be like man that's really grinding me
that's what makes this type of project
so exciting to me is taking what was
once considered trash or parts car and
Reviving it so cool
[Music]
moment
next up I'm going to go ahead and take
off the door panels because we have new
mirrors for the car but before I show
you guys that we are going to be fixing
our door handle because well we're not
going to be fixing with but the door
handle we had was pretty gross and our
friend Brian sent us out a replacement
so we're going to go ahead and do that
so I already removed the old door handle
here's a new one yeah that is fresh our
other one works worked but let's get a
side by side comparison here yeah don't
need to tell you that that the one on
the bottom is definitely better so we're
going to replace that then we also have
a new set of mirrors that we're going to
throw on and to get to that we need to
get the door panel off to access that
Cal what kind of mirrors are we going to
do some carbon fever ones race ones
craft Square these are sick we have the
uh same ones on the FD oh do you really
like them thought this would be a good
touch we were going to go ganadors on
this car but we just could couldn't find
any it was a long search pull up and off
and it requires medium Force
but oh God what did I just do let me
tell you C it's not what you want to
see a few moments
[Applause]
later oh my God he got it that was so
satisfying I wasn't filming but tell
them what just happened this thing was
dangling and it caught on my apron and
it [ __ ] snapped
it a pretty obscure piece dude that's so
[ __ ] it caught on my [ __ ] apron bro
ask you how you are you you just have to
say that you're fine when you're not
really fine but you just that is the
list of things to find no it's that's
impossible reenact going to fix yeah
reenactment you yeah so it was like this
okay ready ready hey pep can I get a
shot here sure sure
sure and you hear
aink and we got to figure how to get
this trim molding
[Applause]
off we're going to throw in the seat
today and I picked up a pair of brides
it's my favorite bucket seat I went back
and forth on what type of seat I was
going to put in this but the thing is is
this NSX is very much like an FD in the
fact that it is very tight on the inside
and doing any sort of seat other than
Factory or doing a very small bride like
this is really hard to fit a
seat the heck is
this is that a butt warmer what the heck
what the [ __ ] is that is that what that
is or it might be it looks like maybe a
pressure sensor like a factory pressure
sensor so if you have like a BMW and
it's like you know when you put your bag
on it and it's like someone put the seat
belt on someone's your seat or your dog
lame I don't know if that's it could be
maybe you hot wire that I much rather
like to believe that it's a buttw warmer
okay well either way we're going to go
ahead Chuck these in we have the rails
for them it's going to look really good
so when I was taking off this door panel
a lot of these outside Clips like right
here that one that one that one's intact
that one's busted that one's busted and
that one's busted and that one's almost
busted those six holes are what hold the
door panel to the actual door and from
the research that I did on YouTube and
trying to figure out how to get this
thing off everyone mentions how they're
always busted well well ma makes
replacement parts for this door which is
really really cool here's example here's
a bottom side that we can go ahead and
install and we're going to have these
clips brand new again which is really
rad that someone actually makes this so
it's refurbished it's an actual like ma
piece so they sent these to us so thank
you Ma we appreciate you we're going to
go ahead and install them and fix our
door so we just installed all of the
replacement edges unfortunately some of
this stuff this is so brittle when we're
putting it back together is falling
apart I know that I can actually order a
lot of this like inside of the door
controls new so I'll probably go ahead
and spring for that but I also just
wanted to notice what what happened
forgot a
pie this car uh has a lot of like damp
pieces in it and that's because the
windows were left down on this car for
who knows how long and I think that's
what all this like green ALG is all left
from I saw some comments like this car
was never left with the windows down all
of the door panels and all the panels we
put out today are all like water log and
they're all saturated so that's
unfortunate again I'm going to keep my
eyes built for door placements let see
what we can
[Music]
[Music]
find now that we we have finished up the
speaker covers for the drawer panels
there's one more speaker in between both
these seats and with how good the
interior looks we're going to give the
same attention to this little speaker as
well so Dylan just finished taping this
thing up and I am just going to start
painting on the die and do the best we
can to get this thing looking brand new
again and today's video is coming to an
end the interior is finally starting to
come together and that was the vision I
saw from the very beginning and arguably
one of the most enjoyable parts of the
build in my opinion we're going to spend
the next few days at the new shop
getting it ready for us to move into
because the countdown is starting and we
have a lot to move in a very short
amount of time so I will see you guys in
the next video with a new shop update
video thank you guys so much for
watching peace out and keep moving
forward
[Music]
