  1. Thank you Honda

    by , 21-07-2011 at 11:21 PM (Today at Atelier Kaz - Private NSX Enthusiast, ex-Honda R&D engineer with F1, Indy/CART background)



    The owner ordered extra items from Honda and also I sent the Main Monel and spare blank keys to have them cut at Norton Way Honda.


    They were kind enough to deliver all of these to my place and also wanted to test the new keys as they were copied from the old tired main key than punched using the key code.


    The person who actually cut the key visited my place and we tried using all three keys to first open the door and then tried ...

  2. Test driving session, ABS, interior noise

    As the road surface was damp but no water paddle, it was good for the ABS test with stuck closed solenoids.


    Set the A/C at 32degC to make sure to push out any bubbles left inside the heater core after the TB/WP service and went out for the test driving session.


    Before going out on the main road, activated the ABS many times while the tyre was still cold.


    Sometimes, I got the kick back but as three ...

    Took out the Front camber adjuster bolts to apply silicone grease before visiting the alignment platform.

    Unfortunately, both R & L Caster adjuster were seized so we’ll see how it goes during the alignment session.
