    As seen on many UK based NSX, the drive shaft grease was already broken down and turned into ‘melted coffee ice cream’ resulting in lack of lubrication under heavy load.


    On this NSX, the ride height, suspension setup and the tyre/wheel combo are still within the OEM spec so it didn’t put excessive load on the drive shaft but when you change anything on the chassis setup, you must consider the overhaul interval ...

    So far, I have politely declined all of the pre-purchase inspection requests as I made my own policy before exposing some of my background on the web and also I would like
