But if the cars are running as they come stock, then the Gallardo will have Pirelli Pzero tyres, the NSXR on RE070's. The RE070 are a very sticky track tyre. They are great, I know I have some.

So from the graph OEM to the best one has 2hp difference? Excuse me while I don't rush out and get one.

I've just been on a track day where I spent four laps following a Gallardo. On the straights I could not keep up. The owner's limited talent, meant I would catch it up at the corner, and follow it a few feet behind it. Our track day rules means I can't overtake in corners or under braking. If...

Hi, keep an eye on www.nsxcb.co.uk, we usually post up when one of us is doing track day. I'll probably do one a month over winter, as it is cheaper than summer events, and also means I get a head start on practice for the big summer meets! Put your friend in touch with us, we don't have...

All Hondas, or at least all I have had (and I'm on my sixth), rattle, slap call it what you want, for about 5 secs after starting from cold. I've heard it on other NSXs as well. Swear my ABS pump only comes on when the car has started moving. Just like it says in the service manual on page...

But doesn't the pump only run when the car starts moving? Could the noise just be the usual piston slap on a cold engine, and oil not up to pressure?

I know the situation with the club and FIA intervention for racing, but surely this won't affect free practice? If so, it should still be possible to attend Spa once a year for practice. Be a shame for the attendance numbers to drop further.

I think what you're looking at in the pics is a genuine Honda part, if you didn't realise.

Will you need to skim the head anyway if the head gasket blew, and you lost coolant - overheating the engine / head?

Do have the cruise control unit above the abs unit on your LHD cars? We do and there is a tube from the cruise control that drips water. The white powder is ali corrosion. Unless I am wrong.

Given identical skilled drivers, there is no way a standard NSX will keep up with a Noble. They are hand built cars and I think the interior is nice too. More interesting than the rather dull (but functional) NSX interior. On a track day you have no idea what the other driver is doing. I have...

True, both engines have had turbos added to them, Noble's has been developed by world famous Cosworth Engineering.

How does it work? Low air pressure under a car with high air pressure on top of the car = downforce. Fast moving air = low pressure, slow moving air = high pressure. Air under a car is turbulent becuase of the mechanical bits and shape of the floor, this makes it slow moving. Air over the car...

I got one of the early dual disc stage II clutches. Clutch would not release completely, as did other people's. Despite a few emails to SPEC, nothing has been done about it. They also shipped the wrong release bearing. I believe it is this particular clutch that some vendors now do not sell.

TEIN RA. Dali racing delivered within a week.

I weighed at 2880, but not on smog station, corner scales.

Rear caliper doesn't swing up like the front. Undo top and bottom bolts, and remove the piston half of the caliper completely. Also undo the bracket that attaches the fluid hose to the suspension first. The hose is too tight too allow the caliper to be removed. Also the cover has to be removed...

Same here. I think an international license is not that far away from being able to compete in Formula 1. IMHO, if you want to go racing, there are a lot of cheaper ways to do it than racing an NSX. I know we race NSXs becuase we like them, and its nice to be able to have some fun with other...

Well a racing license in the UK doesn't cost that much. I have a non-race racing license. It allows me to do sprints and hillclimbs, but not race wheel to wheel. To upgrade the license costs £400 where I will have to take a days training and take an exam, but it is not difficult. However, The...

Nah, won't make it go any faster or stop faster.

Subaru Legacy.

Last in the series of 'My new upgrades' comes this. Unfortunately, even the 'My new brakes' and other upgrades, didn't avoid the numpty that had decided to stop on a road, just after a blind bend, becuase a bird was walking across the road. :(

Continuing on from the 'My new brakes', and 'My new wing' threads, here's my new rear brakes. They use a bracket to relocate the caliper. Take two custom made brackets, 328mm rotors, and look at the result.

No, no sticker needed. If the car is registered from a foreign country you are supposed to re-register it in the UK, in 3 months.

Perfectly legal.
