  1. Crank Pulley 01

    by , 28-02-2011 at 11:35 PM (Today at Atelier Kaz - ex-Honda R&D, F1, Indy/CART engineer)
    Although this NSX had several timing belt service in the past, as seen on almost all of the UK NSX, the crank pulley was never replaced after leaving the factory in Japan.

    So, it’s time to replace it.


    This NSX has very low mileage for its age and the owner looked after it very well that there were not much rust around the lower part of the chassis.


    However, after removing the crank pulley, ...

  2. Service based on Health Check

    It was a very busy weekend.

    First thing in the morning on Saturday, I went to Oxford to be the marriage witness for one of my best friend.


    Very nice couple and wish them all the best for their future family as well.

    With this in mind, set the tyre pressure to OEM setup of 40/33psi for the Rear/Front and would like the owner to adjust it to his preference depending on the driving/weather conditions.
