    Started to work on another NSX.

    The service menu is to refresh the cooling system,
    overhaul the brake caliper, alignment, Health Check,
    crank pulley, etc.

    The very rare colour, super low mileage and probably

  2. BC Coilover with Swift spring 04, Final Touch

    Went out for further test driving session.

    It’s probably my imagination but the more I drive,

    Not much to report while installing the new coilover kit.

    Time to remove the old tired OEM dampers.





    My superduper ride height check tool.
    Mirror nepros made from new material 5GQ.

    For the time being, this is good enough as I won’t be able to
    set the ride height properly until the coilover settles.
