    Now the fun begins with the brake.

    This is the later spec NSX so these brake callipers meant to be in gold colour.


    However, as same for most of other production cars, the factory electro plating finish won’t last for a long time and eventually, it will strip off.

    The automatic clearance adjuster for the parking brake was also removed and overhauled with the new seal/o-ring. Then, re-installed and checked for the smooth operation.

  3. TB/WP/Valve 03 – Brake Line issue

    by , 31-03-2011 at 11:27 AM (Today at Atelier Kaz - ex-Honda R&D, F1, Indy/CART engineer)

    While preparing the car to drain the coolant, I noticed that the brake line at the rear was very close to the sway (anti-roll) bar even at the full droop position.


    So, although it's going to slow me down, decided to put the tyres back on again and bounced the car a few times to settle the suspension and looked at the brake lines.
