Health Check, Brake pad, etc 06

After considering the brake balance, risk of re-using the existing brake disc and 100% on the street driving conditions, decided to go for the EBC Redstuff for the rear pad.
I use the same together with the EBC plain disc on my NSX that has later spec caliper and latest ABS. Same as this NSX.




In order to scrape off the old pad material from the existing disc and help little bit on re-condition the disc surface, I like this brake-in coating on the EBC pad.
Requested the owner to drive and brake gently until the bedding in process is done.





Ceiling
In order to inspect the noise from right forward section of the ceiling trim (couldn't re-produce the same issue this time) and also the sparrow chirping noise every 30sec, removed lots of interior panels.




The fixing clip at the ceiling was broken and never replaced in the past.
Part of the noise was coming from the right side A-pillar trim.
The fixing springs got too tired that the edge of the plastic molding was scratching against the opposite surface.




Not sure this is normal but the staples used to secure the black cloth material were somewhat not done beautifully to my eyes.
In fact, some of them were so loose that they fell off without doing anything.

Duct tape was also used there..... Not NSX quality but it must have been from the manufacture due to the presence of thin felt wool.....

Worried about the staples scratching against the metal roof panel resulting in noise but after some testing, didn't seem to be loud enough to cause that annoying squeaking noise or the sparrow chirping.
