Thanks Dave, for letting me bounce ideas of you but more importantly thanks for all the education.  It's been an incredibly fun process.

Did more testing at SOW yesterday.  Car held together very well.  I was at about 2mm of brake pad left with surprisingly even wear between front and rear so I didn't really push it in the braking zones.  I'm locking up the front wheels and understeering even with my front Type R bar/OEM rear and a 9k/12k rear biased spring set.  Tire wear looks good though so i'm liking my alignment settings.  Tire temps were even and pressure were at 32psi hot all around.  Have more tweaking to do but overall I had a good time out there.

 

In terms of cooling...IAT temps were a little too cold at around 36-42C but the temp compensation tables in the F-Con tune did their job.  AFRs were solid.  I hope by next year i'll have all my sensors wired up so I can report if my side mount oil cooler is working.  It was in the high 30s F in the morning and quickly warmed up to the mid 70s F.  I installed the OEM radiator single fan and reinstalled the factory non-vented OEM hood with the latest MASiV radiator prototype.  At track speeds I had no issues with overheating.  Car maintained good temps under 85-90C.  I think for hotter months a vented hood will required and a stronger fan(s) will be needed for cool down in the pits.

Also, very sad to say a few of us were at the charity event/Toy Drive our friend Sean L. (fellow NSX owner) hosted at Paul Walker and Roger Rodas shop AE Performance.   Paul was a part of the socal carguy community and his loss will be deeply missed... but never forgotten.  Many of us in Socal are deeply affected.  He would often show up to track events and pass up everyone in his track cars (R32 or S15)!


Here was a pic of my NSX at AE. 


For many of you who'd like to know more about Paul's life outside of the movies here's something.

I will be running this sticker in honor of ROWW, his charity.  It's the only sticker to ever be put on the NSX.  I hope some of you are able to take a moment to make a donation.
