1995 NSX - Waxed & ready for summer

After performing an oil change, it was time to clean up the NSX and get it ready for summer.  Here it sits after a wash and a fresh coat of wax.  The wheels still need some love, but I didn't want to contaminate the wash mitt that I use on the rest of the car. I also vacuumed and wiped down the the interior.  I'm by no means a car detailing nut, but it's satisfying to make sure the NSX presents well. 

1995 NSX - 1 Year Report

Unlike the 911, the NSX has been an easy car to own.  After catching up on some deferred maintenance, it required a set of tires at the six month mark.  That trend continues past the year mark.  Since having the tires installed, I performed an oil change.  I'm beginning to think reporting on life with the car at six month intervals is overkill (knocks on wood).  Life with the Porsche meant being on a first name basis with a service advisor at our local Porsche dealer.  In contrast, life with the NSX has settled into the pattern: drive, add gas & check oil, occasionally wash.  Repeat. Not surprisingly, the oil change was easy.  I followed the instructions on the NSX Prime Wiki with one modification.  To prevent the oil from the filter draining on the rear suspension components,  I placed newspaper, folded at crease, over the suspension before removing the filter.  As planned, the oil drained over the paper into the oil pan, leaving the suspension untouched.  Easy breezy.  G
