  1. Bose Speaker AMP Service 02

    by , 13-07-2011 at 11:11 PM (Today at Atelier Kaz - ex-Honda R&D, F1, Indy/CART engineer)

    As the owner contacted me many months ago and he wanted to have them returned urgently, we agreed that instead of trying to investigate and refurbish this AMP, best to replace it with my spare unit refurbished a few years ago.

  2. Bose Speaker AMP Service 01

    From time to time, I get requests from outside UK for A/C CCU and Bose AMP services.



    Also, I was asked from many potential owners as well as existing ones to carry out ‘pre-purchase inspection’ or even ‘servicing’ their NSX in their countries.


    So far, I have politely declined all of the pre-purchase inspection requests as I made my own policy before exposing some of my background on the web and also I would like

    Only managed to spend a few hours on this NSX today as I had to carry out MOT testing on my NSX and MX-5 first.


    During the Health Check, reported the owner that there was a possibility that the trans case seal might be leaking slightly.
