Firstly had a chat with Vicki Butler Henderson who was in for some work on her S2000, then had a chat with simonprelude who was collecting his NSX ( boy I love that colour), ordered my new bike, oh and car for the wife :shock:

I've gone all Honda :roll:

Yes she seemed a bit flustered to be honest :)

Good to see you, we had gone all Honda, but as of next week where do we hide the Poxster so people don't think we've gone soft ??

The new brakes seem VERY good, not sure how much is down to new discs and pads or how much down to the braided lines.

Simon,

What discs and pads did you go for?

In the end I went for the type R pads with the 2 piece grooved rotors from Dali and braided lines, they are bedding in nicely and the initial bite I was missing previously seems to be there already.

Thanks to Norton Way for all the help with the warranty work also.
The Jazz was fun for a while :)

Nick,

What 2 and 4 wheel delights will be joining the NSX on the driveway?

Sensible new Civic 2.2 TDI for wife, like this only in blue,


Bike is a CBF1000 like the one below.

Very Nice!

Looks like you've got yourself a 2 wheel IOP :lol:

Those Civic wheels look like the last gen NSX alloys....don't suppose anyone knows if the offset's would work on the NSX?

Offsets might, but the hub diameter, the bolt PCD, and the fact they are probably same size front and rear, will mean they won't be any use on the NSX.

Brakes on the Civic look nice, isn't that a TypeR? or concept of one? Honda have never done brakes like that on a production car.

Not IOP but BOM (Bombay Orange Metalic) apparently :D

Probably just as well it isn't IOP, you know how jealous Simon gets about his uniqueness :lol: :wink:

Proably 'cause thaty've moved it all about since she was last there!

She was very pleasant to chat to, once she'd got the car bit sorted, when I saw her there.

Bike zone's great fun, better than the caf.

Good purcheses, Nick!
