Decided to take most of today to button up the NSX.  Still fighting thru setup issues so I've changed things around today. 


* Swapped to 11K springs in the front from 9K.  Now i'm on front 11K and rear 11K. 

* Installed a revised set of lift pistons/cups that I designed.  Made some minor improvements from the 1st gen which also worked great.

* Installed the 1" Dali track sway bar up front.  I set it at the middle setting.  I had the Type R front bar previously.

* Installed the 0.875" Dali street/track bar for the rear.  II set it at the softest setting.  I already had these bars so I figured...why not give it a shot.  I had the stock 17mm bar.  FYI the Zanardi is 19mm.  This street/track bar is 22mm. 

* Installed TiDave's sway bar end links.  I think I got two different ones for the rears :(  I need to email Dave.

* Installed the DF front fenders with side marker delete

* Installed a 3yr old set of front 235/40r17 and new 275/35r18 NT-05 tires.   I probably should have gone with taller rears like the 295s because TCS is going off a tiny bit here and there.


Before track day on Saturday...

* I hope to install my harness and harness bar.  Not quite sure what's involved in that but I don't think it's as easy as it looks.

* The most important task of today which ultimately ended in a fail was to flush the brake fluid and install new brake pads.  The Porterfield pads are too damn thick.  About 1mm too thick on each pad.  I couldn't even silde them into the caliper.  Ugh.  I hope I get this resolved by this Saturday or else it's the backup car (BRZ).


Does anyone know how one goes about shaving brake pads?  I don't think I can just put it on a belt sander...




1-1.5mm left of pad right there


Notice the two different end links.  Don't think it's suppose to be this way.


Also decided to hit up a car show on Saturday.  Needed an excuse to drive the X and observe the tire/wheel fitment.
