    Also, I noticed strange movement at the RR brake pad.

    Normally, immediately after releasing the parking brake, the pad should not move like this.
    The brake pad looked to be new so when it was installed, either the piston was not set properly against the pin on the back plate of the pad or the entire calliper body was not installed properly on the bracket.

    Will inspect this later but at high priority.

    Part of the exh pipe hitting the back box. Eventually, it will make small hole.




    Another example of extra rust at the right side

    Dangerously installed aftermarket HID cables.
    When the headlight goes up, it could be trapped and create short circuit with massively high voltage.

    The Fuel filter is not secured properly (twisted) and causing the fuel line to hit the nearby parts. Fortunately, I think we found it in time before causing small cut resulting in eng room fire.

    Started to work on another NSX from this week.
    The service menu is to carry out the Eng Refresh and replace the LMA, install Bilstein damper, Cooling system refresh, etc.

    I was hoping to take the Eng out of the car by now but unfortunately, due to my injury, couldn’t put full body weight on my left foot so had to be a slow progress.


    On arrival of this NSX, noticed that the tyre looked at very low pressure and yes indeed, they were way too low for the street
