    by , 26-04-2011 at 11:09 PM (Today at Atelier Kaz - ex-Honda R&D, F1, Indy/CART engineer)


    Started to work on another NSX.



    There are lots of things to be done including another TB/WP/Valve service, refurbish of cooling system, brake system overhaul, ABS service and so on.


    Once again, it’s a Targa model so I have to remove several things before I can even get to the IGN Coil cover.

    All capacitors are now upgraded and damaged tracks and pads were repaired.
