Forgot the 'Senna had a hand in tuning the suspension'. Don't know about the 4 channel ABS being the first in the US, as Honda say the NSX is the first midengined car with 4 channel ABS. Also they say, first midengined car with an airbag. First midengined car to be offered as an automatic (or...

I certainly will talk to anyone that comes and talks to me. Like Detlef and others have said, we can get pretty focused on the car to worry about anything else. However walk up to me with a helmet in your hand and ask for a ride and you will get one. I never say no. There were new people I met...

Unfortunately for anyone that came on Sunday, they missed the Hondas driving on the Saturday. My black NSX was on the track on Saturday for every session it could be in. I didn't pay for Sunday, as the timings showed I wouldn't get much track time. This was a shame as a lot of cars went home...

Bob, thanks for the response. It's quite known within the NSX track community that the NSX engine does run very hot (oil wise) while on the track. I'm not the fastest person out there either, so I'm sure others will run be running hotter. I have ben advised by MJ (Daliracing) that my temps are...

Some questions for Bob, the engineer. My NSX does have a oil temp gauge. The sensor is fitted in the sump, so its reading the temp before it goes to the standard cooler, which, I read is not very effective. Normal road driving and the oil will average 80degC. On the track, and it will be...

Re: Type R rims. Type R rims are regularly for sale by a 'Primer. I'm picking some up this weekend.

I don't the answer to your questions, but larger diameter pipes isn't always better.

Well I have removed the ashtray and placed a panel for gauges to fit. I still have the fan and sensor but it doesn't pull air from the cabin anymore. The heating & a/c still work, but it doesn't seem to maintain a temp as well as it used to. I set the heater a lot higher than normal, to get the...

In a TV interview, he also said he used to have a Ferrari, but was asked to sell it when joining the BAR team. And yes, his NSXs are 'company cars'. Other racing drivers for Honda get them too.

Tried narrowing your butt?:)

Why is everyone jus talking about the drag race? I haven't seen the video clip posted, as I watched the whole TV program. Is there a section in the video clip where they took the Corvette round the track? The drag race had four different drivers. The track section is always done by the same...

The same goes for the Mintex pads. 1144, 1155, 1177 the pads get harder the higher the number. They also work in higher temperature ranges. I use 1155 road and track. I haven't used many types of pad, but I think these are OK for me. I shall be using them at Spa also.

Considering Top Gear don't necessarily like the NSX all that much, they have no reason to make it 'go faster than it really is'. No surprise the TVR is quicker, 360bhp and roughly 1100kg. Round corners is a different matter though.

I get four track days from a set of S03PP's, with negligible road use apart from driving to the track, and short road tests.

Did this connected come with Guus' engine, or does it remain from the wiring from the old engine? If so, would this have anything to do with the failure of the first engine?

People do this all the time on eBay. it saves paying the charges associated with a high start price or reserve. If the item fails to make what they want, they bid themselves, or get a friend to win the auction for them.

That's really sweet. A very nice story.

I have been sent the weekend invitation, and it does say the track is open Sat and Sun only. I will be there.

I guess if you keep the old parts you could always put them back in. This is if the future 'classic' value is what we hope. With the current prices of old NSXs coming down (in the UK at least), will we see a time when they become classics? I think first Japanese cars need to be seen as...

Ever heard the phrase,"Racing costs money. How fast do you want to go?" Try a search online, for engineering fasteners. I got similar bolts to what you want, here in the UK, so you should be able to there as well.

I didn't find getting the transistors hard. I got them from RS (rswww.com) a big supplier in the UK. If you have trouble getting them, I am happy to get them and post them out. I repaired all my amps.

Hi Frank, I got told this information, by Nicolas, who is an organiser. Last year you said you may help me with the racing this year. Are you still willing and able?

I thought its for the air con.

I use the jack that came with the car to start lifting so my trolley jack can get under. As it only need to lift about 1/2 an inch, there's no need to put the handle on, just a couple of turns by hand raises it enough. One cool trolley jack I have seen, allows you to either use the handle, and...

Hi, I've been told that the races are open to non-Honda cars. Has this been the case all season? I was planning on entering this year, but the thought of non-Honda cars worries me. If this rule has been running all year, what have the other cars been like? I felt safe entering, knowing the...
