One-of-a-Kind 1992 NSX Build Walkaround with The Rub Doctor

0:27Rob doctor in and caps and we're checkin out his NSX. What year is this? This is a 92. 92. So tell me about some of the mods. Those donter like pop-up headlights. So what about the the car the previous owner had the conversion. Not only including the headlights hood and the bumper but he also had the O2 side skirts with the door inserts and the rear valance and the O2

0:36Tell me about some of the mods, because those don't look like pop-up headlays

0:39, so what about the car the previous owner had done the conversion

0:44Not only including the headlights in the bumper, but he also had the O2 side skirts with it with the door

0:50inserts and the rear balance and the O2 taillights

0:54Carver I've gotten rid of everything except the front end obviously everything else kon

1:04an OEM Grand Prix White in

1:04the different color but. So that was OEM Grand Prix White in 1992. Yeah it was a 92 Grand Prix White 5 5 speed. The previous owner, another thing he also did I still have on

1:14here was this he did a six-speed swap. Okay. So I got really lucky man. This car

1:19right here because I wish it had another gear because it's like I

1:26want to be like bang bang bang on the gears but this one's like five-speed. Yeah well the second gear goes to like 80 something or 90 miles an hour or something like that.

1:34is it solid if you're boosted though. Yeah you're boosted. But you know that's another 10 grand.

1:46Yeah. I got this running back in last April. I pulled the engine out got it rebuilt and everything. HQ Engineering doubted

1:57it's okay

2:00nice too. Did you edit that right? No. The previous owner had this came with the car. This one is a downforce type

2:07R hood. It's carbon fiber but you know I just kind of painted. That's good. That's a match. I really like the vents.

2:14Yeah. A lot of people skip out on those and then you see like see through looks like really after market. Yeah I know exactly

2:21and then there's the what's called the ducting so it's straight from the radiator out down for yeah definitely.

2:30Yeah, definitely.

2:31Hey, that front end is good.

2:34What kinda, is that OEM front lip or?

2:36This is, what is this one called?

2:38I

2:41think it's from JP Couture or something like that. I don't know. It's

2:42it was one of the only ones that I'd liked

2:44other than the vector one from Downforce.

2:47I've been having a hard time trying to get the old one out.

2:49But this one will hold up.

2:50I like this one because it's a

2:52polyurthane. Yeah.

2:54Getting any of a carbon lip or, you know, fiberglass.

2:56Yeah, I've seen them. I've seen them.

2:59I've seen them at meat, it's bad, it's cracked.

3:06carbon fiber fiberlips and they're like dude it's my fourth one. The other one lasts me a week. The

3:11other one I busted in a day I'm like oh wait. At least you got those you said you got the stance cups. Yeah.

3:16The cups on here life changer man that's one of those things where it's like how could I be driving this slow without these

3:24you know. Yeah.

3:26You want to hit the button. Yeah hit the button.

3:30Now you're at my height. My car was lowered from the from the previous owner. I actually have a touch. I just a maintenance.

3:42I wanted to change the lug nuts paint the calipers. Yeah. That's all wheel stuff and I just want to knock it out.

3:52Yeah all at once right. Okay here I'll hit this button again man. Yeah hit it again man. Yeah that's a good clearance.

4:00Yeah that was for all four corners too. It's one of those things where because I have this now I can I have the confidence to drive anywhere really.

4:08Oh yeah. Like last year driving to Portland and to San Diego with this I was B. You.

4:17No I'm down to go wherever because I know I can get up most driveways. Yeah I haven't had an issue getting out of driving yet with these cups.

4:26I really like your fender too the way what fenders this

4:31These are pied, these are pied fenders.

4:33They are kind of modified,

4:35because originally they had a hard line

4:37that went across over here, and because I

4:40I only had the front and I didn't want,

4:42I kind of wanted it to match the rear in a way,

4:45because if there's a hard line in the front,

5:01It's one of those things where it's very subtle it's a very subtle look to where if you

5:08if you didn't

5:08See yeah, but I mean look I mean

5:11Just comparing to mine. It's just this looks like a narrow like oh my gosh. Yeah, it's narrow

5:23Like I don't know if you watch a Jay Leno and Han

5:26But they were he was talking about how his Dotsun. Oh, yeah, you like wanted to have like a Japanese girl doing squats

5:30Wanted to have like a Japanese-girl doing squats looking off thick. Yeah I don't know if you heard that one. Yeah I was just like man. Yeah it's a little skinny.

5:40Yeah yeah I really like, are these the market hills. Yeah

5:46of.

5:47I got these them down on a parts of the so called from.

5:53It's Sean. Sean C. Stunner. Oh yeah. These are his old side skirts. Hey keep the parts in house. Yeah I mean that's a lot of these parts are man it's like hey if you

6:02anyone get a set and get it by another dude or another NSX owner.

6:08That's cool. Yeah. DFR side scoop.

6:12The fitmence actually you're pretty good.

6:16Yeah, I like those. You didn't have to modify or anything.

6:19It was just, you're gonna install them.

6:22Kind of, just, no, you're probably.

6:25You're probably going to cut up your arm a little bit.

6:28Oh man.

6:29It's kind of a bitch to get to.

6:30to.

6:31In your wheels. You were talking about it off camera. So the front specs are the front of 18

6:399.5 with a 19 10 and a half plus 25 with the 8 is and I just put these cars are used to run

6:54a 285 30 19. But to clear that I had to run about negative four degrees camera.

7:00so what it is I downsized it back down to 275 3019 and now I had

7:06pulled the camera back out to about negative three degrees and plus I'm about to

7:11drive this to SoCal next week so a lot like my car I know we're comparing you

7:18But it kind of, it does get driven, but you drive. I mean, yeah, I just drove like what a hundred miles up here. I know. That's crazy. Yeah. And then I'm gonna be driving down to Soquel next week. I'll be down there for three weeks, too. It's a really good car. Oh, dude, for sure.

7:34It's comfy. Having done the audio makes the driving experience a lot more enjoyable.

7:40Yeah let's take a little peek

7:53I came up on during you like a wholesale not a wholesale but this I believe 9nk racing?

7:58Bought out a warehouse and then one of the guys there

8:02Mowgli, he hit me up and he was like,

8:04hey, everybody's found this warehouse

8:05and found all these parts, you know what these are?

8:08I was like, fuck yeah, you.

8:10Let me get this, let me get that.

8:12You know, one of the, the parts I got from him

8:13was this diffuser, it was brand new.

8:15And it was brand new in box.

8:17And with all your racing, apparently

8:22I had to go out of business and I was like, yo, let me get that, I also bought a carbon fiber trunk, it was brand new from him.

8:25Oh my God.

8:26I was like, dude, you want me to get that.

8:28It's so hard to find parts.

8:32I know someone that's selling another one. Just the last week. Yeah. Holy cow this one

8:36is so clean. Yeah the the. Yeah it was an SF or something like that right. I was

8:41looking at it. It was it's the one that goes like this. I think it's a downforce or

8:44like one right. Yeah. Yeah. I was looking at that too. You don't need it. Because

8:50originally I really wanted that because this was kind of like okay I'm coming up on

8:53a deal on this. Fuck it. You know. Yeah. But after running this I'm looking back at the

8:58other one. I actually like how clean this. This one is you know. Yeah it

9:01follows the lines of your side skirts. Just like that. Just your tail lines.

9:06Tail lines. Everything's very horizontal. True true. You know you got the. Yeah.

9:11I mean the. I get what you're saying because like I initially didn't want this. I didn't

9:16like how it was so flat on the bottom. But I feel looking at the down-force and tight

9:21equity fuser and I look back at mine. Why you know what. That's a good setup. Yeah

9:25like that. It's actually kind of crazy because it's a little polished. You can

9:29see your muffler and stuff because you're finished. Yeah yeah. That's it's

9:33just like a little mirror. Just a little bit. Yeah. I like how it's

9:37exposed a little bit too like that. You kind of see. Yeah. That's nice.

9:42Get some. You got the spoiler too. Yeah. This is also from Pride. Okay. Pride

9:51Type R with our gurney flap. Damn. I believe that's from Pride too.

9:57Yeah I could pop this open too. Yeah dude. I wish that this was

10:06I can't really see it, but I put some LED's in here. I mean look at this paint flip. Like

10:16Yeah, yo for someone of dailies or NSX or like drives a lot your paint is there's barely any swirls. Yeah, it's nuts. I

10:24I tried but there are times where I'm like, you know, I shouldn't be doing it, I shouldn't be doing it like this, but...

10:29Yeah, two bucks in, probably got like an air gun, trying to put it in.

10:31Yeah. Probably? Yeah. Probably got like an air gun. Yeah. Exactly. Cheese.

10:36You can't see

10:37I can see it now but I think you kind of see like the LED in there.

10:40I know it looks a lot crazier. Yeah. I can see a hint of blue.

10:44So it's based off of your when you pull it up. Which one? No the lighting? No.

10:49It's just a this is a motorcycle LED kit that I just put in. Is it always on

10:53or you just turn it on? Like I like just. Oh it's like how the heck did it know.

10:59I was like there's no electronics. Oh yeah like a sensor. Yeah a sensor for it to turn on

11:08There's a sensor, it's open.

11:10Could do that, right?

11:12Home life with the engine.

11:14I mean, it does help when I got to check my oil when I'm like, and when it's

11:19dark out, the lighting of white or something.

11:22I like how you have the, what was it, the gold heat?

11:26Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, the heat shielding.

11:28I mean, I'm not sure if it really does anything,

11:30but it was one of those things where I'm like,

11:32hey, I got the engine out, let me do what I can,

11:36pull all the engines out, you know?

11:39Cause I don't think you can really pull those,

11:41those heat panels off when the engine's in there.

11:44Yeah I mean, I look at it,

11:45it's just like, you had to pull the engine out.

11:47Yeah, I had to pull the engine out,

11:48that's why I painted the engine bay black,

11:52And I'm like, oh, I'm not gonna change the color if I'm not gonna. She can't paint the engine base. Oh, and then you got the carbon fiber everything

12:01Okay, guys, that the I believe it's a contact contact' contact contact top. I'm

12:06I'm not exactly too sure because this box I bought

12:10The top cover I bought used up somebody. That's why this is like, probably the most yellow

12:15and then I found the Comtec bottom off of the prime page

12:21I know sometimes people just run the top, but I also have the Comtec carbon bottom too. We got everything

12:26Yeah, that's a never. It's a deal. I mean every every I mean even his bolts are changed

12:32What is this like a third break life.

12:35It was but dude that worked for like a hundred miles and I just been too lazy to take it off.

12:39Just like every every quarter. I mean look at this.

12:43This is all from Dressa bolts.

12:48I know I saw Jake J Fennning dude from Arizona with that anime NSX.

12:54Oh yeah. I think I saw him he was the first guy I saw the run dressable on his car

12:59through his video from Gears and gasoline.

13:03Oh, what is, okay.

13:04You got it down here.

13:07I'm surprised.

13:09Yeah, I mean it's one of those things where I'm in like I had to replace a lot of the bolts because

13:13Because a lot of them are like old and looking hella ugly right so I'm like all right

13:16Let

13:16Me buy the inji big hit and then I found more that I needed so I got

13:32Oh, I got these the titanium caps from a different titanium

13:36Oh, yeah, you. You got different cool reservoir that in the

13:39Oh, yeah, it's like hydro dipped. So this one in the valve covers are hydro dipped

13:44Oh, I couldn't even tell

13:47Damn, I'm usually a pretty like strict like I can tell but like I guess my eyes were drawn to this

13:54Yeah, then like my peripheral, I'm like, everything's a carbon fiber

13:56Everything's in your carbon fiber Yeah, yeah, I think

13:59Yeah, I'm like, how did you have a carbon fiber, like, what?

14:03I had a valve covered one.

14:04You can't have a valve covered one.

14:05I, I know.

14:06That's the only car thing I've seen I have carbon fiber valve covers is, uh, the Koenigsegg.

14:10Oh yeah, that's, obviously.

14:11Yeah, I got the money for that shit, you know.

14:13I love it, I love it.

14:14This was like, no, you know, I'll hydro-dip it.

14:16Yeah, I mean, it looks good, it really ties everything together.

14:19Yeah, I saw a lot, because I don't think

14:21I've really seen anyone else really hydro-dip

14:23their valve covers in carbon.

14:27But I think it's just one of those things where

14:29it's going to be a copy of the rest, and

14:31the rest of it, you know.

14:33So nice.

14:34And then you got the engine brace.

14:37Oh yeah, the GT spec.

14:39That's a GT spec.

14:40like I've been seeing people like selling discontinued bars.

14:43There was one from RFY posted 1400 bucks.

14:47And it was literally just the brace that bolts to the OEM.E.M. mounts.

14:51I was like, dude, it's a bar, 1400 bucks, dude.

14:54I. I don't have a custom one that kind of like does what yours though.

14:57Yeah, exactly..

15:00Yeah. And, and I think that I saw was a Comtech one go for 14

15:10Yeah

15:12The rates are going higher than like bitcoins sometimes

15:17I've kept the trunk cuz I that that would that carbon trunk I have at home. I never mounted it

15:21I'm like, you know what maybe I'll just keep it for a day or something, you know

15:26I mean cuz you know I always thinking about it when I saw this color with the carbon

15:29I think it really a sense it really well. Yeah, and if I had it everything carbon like the trunk to I think it'd be too much

15:31And if I had it everything carbon like the trunk too I think it'd be too much.

15:35I think it'd be too much carbon.

15:37You accent it pretty good.

15:39Try it too.

15:41I just got my tail lights back on yesterday.

15:48You got the blinkers.

15:50I'm not sure you can see it right.

15:54Yeah I can see it.

15:56It's pretty bright but I can see the turns.

16:02You even got the little Honda batch right here. Oh, yeah, that's a that's a, that's a JDM center tail

16:09because the one I that was on there the studs were busted and I was like I want to

16:14I, buy one actually doesn't I mean you. Those are OEM tail lights, right? Yeah, then you had the JDM

16:20exactly. I think mainly because the blackboards inside it kind of makes a

16:32if it was like full of OEM tail light and then having LED boards in it.

16:36Yeah, those chrome reflectors, yeah.

16:38You probably be able to a.

16:40Yeah, they took out the reflector here and that way you could see the whole LED and everything.

16:44It was a lumesthetic that went ahead it to that.

16:46Dang.

16:47That's cool.

16:48Wanted to support, you know, the local guys.

16:49Because I know a lot of the NSX guys that run ARC tail lights.

16:52Yeah, that's the one that I was going for, because I

16:57I never heard of a lumen mist, either.

16:58A lumesthetic.

16:59It was one of

17:09I think the last layer is just the interior.

17:12Okay cool.

17:13Dang.

17:14You might

17:15Yeah go ahead.

17:16Got the carbon fiber.

17:18Is this an overlay or is this an actual whole piece?

17:20I think this is one from mida.

17:22But it's the actual replacement.

17:25It's a bitch to do.

17:27That's what I was like.

17:28I seen somebody like try to, like they basically

17:34piece and it looked insane just

17:36just even removing the little like hood engine hook thing whatever it's a bitch

17:43man

17:43it's a bitch this file's like day you change is that overlinked cuz that's yeah

17:48not that's a bitch to do just saying so we got the nice where to get these floor

17:56mats because I got them used off the prime site.

18:01On the prime.

18:02I wanted all black ones.

18:04You have to do a custom order through SC or S2 carbon works

18:06Okay.

18:07I want to get the all black ones eventually because these ones

18:10I got used and they would kind of like beat a little bit

18:12but it was better than rocking the OEM NSX ones.

18:15Oh yeah?

18:16Nice get the carl.

18:18I just have some generic ones from the previous owner.

18:22I haven't changed it.

18:24I'm leaving these doors.

18:27Did you do this?

18:28Yeah I wanted to do that cause I bought these seats first.

18:30to do that because I bought these seats first. They had the Raptor fabric and I tried to

18:36have the fabric guy, I think his, is IG's toughfluck.

18:39JP. I thought it would match a little better. I mean, it's the same design. It is just a

18:45little brighter. Oh, yeah. No, it really matches the two-tone like checker pattern and yeah,

18:50That's what I was trying to go for something that you know, everyone's doing the Alcantara or like the black or the red

18:56Okay, okay

19:01He's like you you basic

19:03I'm like I like I want to eat 37. He's just like oh you one of those

19:07I wanted to do something

19:16different. Look at this. He got the Carpet Fiber Top.

19:20Yeah, this is all from Stephen Disinger.

19:23He's taking a lot of my money.

19:25So is it a custom piece?

19:27No, so he makes it all himself.

19:32It's made to order pretty much.

19:34He actually just messes me the other day saying,

19:36Oh, yeah. Hey, uh, don't don't forget I I have some parts to be ready for you soon

19:41I forgot I think he's doing this for me like these replacements because you know this is an issue too or the things are

19:47Oh, yeah the paint. Yeah, that's on my radio right here. Yeah

19:51starting to lift and stuff...

19:53That and I... fuck what else did he do?

19:56I think it was this and the front radiator panel

19:59You mind if I sit?

20:00Is it? Yeah go and

20:02I'm never sat

20:04It's all lower

20:06Is it?

20:08It's all a little chubby because of Covid

20:10me

20:12Nice dude

20:14So

20:16Where's that

20:18Did you cut this out or

20:20No that one was already cut for it

20:22I think it's just the radio mount

20:24On the inside I left

20:26I had to take this thing apart so many times

20:28It's all the extra wiring and stuff I did.

20:29Yeah, I mean the, the cups, the cups and then that's like the cable for Android Auto

20:33And then that's the cable for Android Auto, and then the RC1 as I have a light bar.

20:38Okay, press the button. Yeah. Push the

20:42button. Push the. Push the button. Push the button. Come on. Nice. Yo, this is this,

20:47you got the, you got the bus steering wheel. Oh, yeah, yeah. Right? Yeah, the, the,

20:56the OEM one, of course.

20:58And I don't know if I should change

20:59it over to that.

21:01I, it was actually one of the first

21:02things I did when I bought the car you.

21:15So

21:26out, you know. So I don't know anything about, there. I don't know anything about steering

21:29steering wheel. So this is a work spell hub and quick tilt and quick tilt. Okay. I mean

21:33Okay, I mean I kind of need it because with how tall my legs are yeah

21:39When I clutch out my knees go straight into the hole. Oh wow, so

21:44Trying to get in and out it makes it easier. Oh, yeah a lot easier to get out

21:47I mean it's not the biggest car but you know with a modification like this it allows me to get in and out a lot. Yeah

21:52Yeah, it's nice.

21:53And then you got the carbon fiber cluster, too.

21:58Yeah, that one's from Side to Speed.

21:59I also have S2000 Cluster I want to put back in and it has a carbon surround, but...

22:01in hasn't a car carbon surround but I like I like how you can see the mileage

22:07though what this cluster oh yeah I really like the gauges of this one yeah

22:11so I'm kind of iffy like we'll be nice I session I want to look into getting the

22:17s two thousand cluster recalibrated to show the actual mileage on the car I'm

22:21I'm actually missing 20,000 miles on this because I had an S2000 cluster in a year, for about

22:2520,000. So it currently is 265.

22:27So you took it off a lot

22:29Yeah, I had it on for the last 20,000 miles before I pulled the engine out.

22:30I had it on for the20,000 miles before I pulled the engine out.

22:33Oh, okay.

22:34And then when I put the engine back in,

22:35I wanted to go back to this cluster

22:37because of the oil pressure gauge.

22:38Okay.

22:39this is kind of my life one now yeah nice yeah that's it yeah thank you for

22:47showing me your car it's pretty inspirational yeah just need to get out

22:54your car without looking like a what's called the wolf on all three side

23:02Nice.

23:03And then you got to be a little...

23:05Oh, yeah.

23:06Those are motorcycle mirrors actually.

23:08Nice.

23:09, that's right.

23:10That's from this company called Moto.JP out in Japan.

23:14I saw them on a Time-Attack NSX on Japan.

23:18And I think his Instagram is JS underscore NSX.

23:22saw some the mirrors, I'm like, yo, these mirrors are sick.

23:25They're not the spoon mirrors or they're not the craft square mirrors.

23:28I'm like, yo, what are those? And then so he sent me the link to the website.

23:30I was like, I was like, oh, sick.

23:52Thank you for showing me your car and your handle was the rub the rubbed doctor. Yes

23:59All right, see ya

24:01See ya!

24:14Damn!
