  1. MOT Testing

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




    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 ...

    Even before starting to flush the ABS, already found a problem.

    The reservoir cap seal was not positioned properly and trapped under the cap.

    Managed to find some time to work on the NSX today.


    As mentioned a while ago, instead of cleaning and overhauling the heavily leaked/corroded master cyl, decided to replace it with new one including the reservoir, filter, cap and the fluid level sensor.

    Rear Calliper installed.


    New Goodridge line installed and the line locator will be secured once the drive shaft overhaul has finished.
