Today at Atelier Kaz - ex-Honda R&D, F1, Indy/CART engineer

Wheels back on the car, move the car back and forth, bounce it several times and clearance check under 1G first.
The rideheight will drop further as I used new OEM bush/mount but at the rear wheel, the clearance between the parch and the side shoulder of the tyre was much wider than the OEM setup due to the use of wide spacer.

Would like to see how the front side changes over the next few days at different steering angle as it’s not OEM setup (wheel spacer) and want to be 100% sure that there is no clearance issue between the perch and tyre as well as the perch and the chassis side.


By the way, several wheel nuts didn’t feel smooth.
It is using the spacer stud bolts at the rear and the extended stud bolt at the front.
I think some of the nuts were over-tightened in the past. Wheel nuts are somewhat neglected consumable parts so must be replaced if ever overtightened or loosened/tightened many times.
Especially, I didn’t like the feeling of one of the nut/stud bolt at the FL wheel.
Also, after having the wheel refurbished, please make sure to strip off the paint from the mating surface of the wheel nut. Honda wheel uses spherical seating for the wheel nut so very important to keep it clean.




Quick NSX badge change.




Started changing the washer nozzle.
I must first pump out the dirty slimy bits from the tank……


Hope to return the car towards the end of this week.
