    As part of my annual service, I always take engine compression.
    I kept doing this on my NSX every year since I bought it new in 1994 and as I changed the equipment, different altitude, etc over the years, can't do direct comparison of the absolute figures but at least, I know the condition of each cyl.




    Silicone compound is doing good job

    The fluid level at the ABS reservoir was at the max line so it’s very unlikely but noticed the trace of brake fluid under the caution label.
    May be someone spilled the fluid in the past???

    I’ll be flushing the ABS any way so not a problem.

    By the way, as mentioned in the meeting, please exercise your ABS every time when you take your NSX

    The air cleaner element.


    Just hold it against the sun or strong LED light. If you can't see through lots of light, just replace it.
    This one is too dirty to be re-used. Also, it's the white spec one and not the latest green one so it's been used for so many years.
    Replaced with a new one.
