First pictures could possibly be the reason why my car has not been handling quite as well as I was used to.
Strange as it has been in the garage recently and only just had an MOT.

OK I received some NSX goodies recently from a friend.

1 of which was a car cover, sligthtly used but fits very well.
I had just ordered one from classic additions but they were OK with me cancelling the order.
£200 saved, bonus.

Just need to work out how to fit the black thing on the front of the car next :)

You know if the inside edge of the tyres wear out much faster than the rest, then you're not cornering fast enough don't you?;)

Sounds about right :)

The car will get a full allignment done next week as I have never been happy with it.

Hi Simon,

Loads of q's I'm afraid!

Who is doing the alignment for you......what tyres are you going with......and which set of geo-settings are you having put on?


I am going to try the Goodyear Eagles on Y1, and I am going to reduce the amount of toe on the rears (I know this will reduce ultimate grip, but I hope this will help with tyre wear - Having done some careful measruring and calculating, I am looking at perhaps 3,600 - 4,000 miles from my existing rears (not quite as bad as the 2,500 - 3,000 I feared when I first noticed the rears were getting down last week).

I am still not 100% about the tyres that I will use, so confusing.
Drop tyreman http://nsxcb.co.uk/testvb/member.php?u=133 a PM on here, I spoke to him last week, very knowledgable on the subject and an NSX owner.

Norton Way Honda will do the allignment and I think I will go with the standard set up for a start.

Y1....if you are looking for someone more local to do your alignment, I have taken mine to Elite at Mannings Heath a couple of times. They have the correct 4 wheel computer tracking machine.

Hope that helps...

Good to knowabout Elite in Mannings Heath - I have struggled to fine someone with the right equipment.

Simon did you sorted out the tyre problem in the end? Was the car OK was it the "normal" driving that caused that.

Cheers,
