I did a track day last Feb in very cold weather,barely above freezing. My tyres still came up to 50degC after a few laps.

MDF is not very water resistant. My advice would be to use green MDF which is water resistant, and has the same properties of normal MDF.

Well even though I live here, I don't know how you would move here, get visa's etc. I think if you do it as 2 year temp working visa you should be OK. Anyway, about your original question. London. Not the best place for 'speed shops'. What do you want to do? Actually be somewhere that builds...

You may of seen 'My new brakes' and 'My new wing' in the picture gallery. Here are two clips of 'My new exhaust'. Starting Running Enjoy! OK, ok, they're not from the NSX! The clue is this post being in Off Topic. They are infact clips of Radical Motorsports new V8...

Maybe Honda are preparing themselves for the inevitable. One day oil and petrol will run out. Before it does, the price will become astronomical. Who wants to be driving a thirsty car when that happens? Taking an extreme long term view, and making products other than cars could be a good move.

I hardly call the Civic Type R that techy. Considering it's made in the UK, and is a good seller, why stop making that particular model? Also dealers here have been taking orders and deposits for the HSC.

I had a feeling you were in Australia. I must of come across your website before. Having the kit made in Aus, and then bought over here, is probably going to make it cheaper than other kits that are made over here anyway. There are already people that make high power kits. Why not do something...

Well by similar I mean, similar sized (3.0l), similar configuration (V6). I know there aren't any other cars like the NSX in terms of engine configuration these days, but what would a Nissan 350Z turbo kit cost? If the price for an NSX kit is more, then, go into details as to why it would cost...

How much are similar kits for other similar cars? That would be a good place to start wouldn't it?

I have white Type R wheels, on my black car. It doesn't look at silly as it sounded before I got the wheels.

Yep, capstan and pinch roller, are the parts that govern tape speed. The capstan is driven by the motor at a constant speed. The reel's don't run at a fixed speed, as when the tape spools, their diameter changes. Either the capstan is direct drive, or by belt. Either the pinch roller rubber...

They are plenty of Nobles on the track on our UK days. They leave us NSXs behind like we weren't moving. 0-60 is around 3.5 secs or something. Engine is a lowly Ford unit, but when Cosworth add some turbos and tune it it's something else. The grip and handling is exceptional. The whole car is...

Why don't you post these questions on the UK forum? I know your Dad is on there. Three of us that regularly track the cars have different suspension setups. We are also going to Bedford on the 20th Nov. Why not go too, and see what the differences are like? Without knowing you Dad's driving...

Start with the packaging. There's little room in the engine compartment. It's a V engine, and so either have one turbo on each bank, or need more pipework for one turbo. The engine is in the rear, and so needs more work for intercooling. The engine is transverse, and that seems to make things...

Rear is 328mm. Slightly larger to counteract the front calipers having slightly larger pistons than standard. Also because that's the size the rotor comes in! Overall balance should be just right.

Well I've made the seat mounts for my Sparco EVOs. I designed and had made a harness bar. I made the brake air deflectors. Fitted the TEIN suspension, but I am designing a top mount for those so I can use lightweight straight racing springs. Next projects include rear undertray / diffuser to...

I'm being really careful to bed these in properly. The last thing I want to do is ruin the rotors by stopping too hard too soon. However intial impressions are good. Solid pedal feel, good initial bite etc. The piston sizes are very close to stock, so the pedal travel is the same. Obviously I...

I have the TEIN suspension, and like a few others feel the oversteer is a bit too much. I thought a rear wing would give the rear more grip to conteract this. After deciding production wings cost too much, I made this one. It's in fibreglass, as it's a test wing. It does make a big difference to...

I designed and had made these brakes, with the criteria of fitting under the stock 17" front wheel. Specs are 325mm X 30mm rotor, 4 pot caliper with 38 and 41mm pistons. There is a rear kit that needs finishing before it goes on. That uses a re-located standard caliper on 328mm rotors. Note...

The Zanardi was a US only model, and Zanardi was sucessful in US racing. Senna was sucessful at F1, which is not a 'US based' sport. Maybe that explains part of it. Maybe it's just due to whoever works in the marketing department at Honda, at the time.

Bart, The word in the UK for those people is 'chav'. Checkout www.chavscum.co.uk, very funny web site. Anyway, get racing seats like me, and you don't get to choose where you sit. The seat puts you in your place.

The drop in K&N filter has a smaller filter area than the OEM. I had one, and couldn't notice a difference. From the fact that I could see through bits of it, I decided to keep the OEM one in.

Could well be, all my facts from memory.

Well at the risk of embarrassing myself with my poor driving skills, here is a link to a couple of laps of Spa. Here The file is 34Mb. It is best to right click and download the file to your computer. It was my first few laps of the day. I was also using Honda OEM brake pads all weekend. I was...
