  1. Is stiffer better? - 02

    Back to the original story.



    After repeated back to back test of parts combination, the only thing remained on this NSX was the Type-S rear anti-roll bar for me.


    (Depending on the country spec and year model, your NSX may already have this thicker anti-roll bar from the factory.)


    Again, this is just my test result and as all we know, one setup doesn't cover everyone's target

    On several occasions, I was asked about the chassis stiffness between different NSX models and also about some of the well known modification to ‘stiffen up’ the chassis that ‘seems’ to sharpen the handling.


    Followings are my personal view based on some test sessions carried out under several different conditions/timings at the twisty mountain road, a certain circuit and normal A-road in Japan.


    There are lots of ...
  3. Original ABS Overhaul

    by , 12-07-2011 at 11:09 AM (Today at Atelier Kaz - ex-Honda R&D, F1, Indy/CART engineer)




    After reporting the blocked solenoids issue to the owner, we discussed about the possible options.



    One of them is obviously to overhaul the existing one and I have done it on many units as well as translated and forwarded the method to another owner.


    However, I always need to remind the owner of the original ABS on the following points.


    1. You must exercise the ABS regularly otherwise you ...
  4. MOT Testing

    Once again, it’s time of the year to take my NSX and MX-5 for the MOT testing.


    For me, MOT in UK is nothing compared to the one in Japan so very easy to pass without any concern.


    In fact, one of the most commonly used words on the used car Ad is the ‘Full MOT and Service History’ or ‘Stamp, Document and Receipt to back up the fact’.


    Unfortunately, I need to be honest and some of you are ...

    I was hoping to spend more time on this NSX today but had to change the plan as I found the wasp nest in the back garden.


    Last year, bumble bee decided to nest behind our gas meter box but it didn’t bother me and as I was told that the number of bumble bees are declining, decided to leave them.


    This year, it’s the wasp…..


    It was still small and not annoying us at this stage but.... ...
