Too much free play at the TH cable.




Coolant already leaking from the thermostat cover area….




Something is not quite right behind this door handle.
I already warned the owner that it may break off while I’m servicing this NSX at my place.
As a precaution, I’m opening the door from inside the cabin by reaching out for the outer door handle/lever.








Eng oil just everywhere…..
Yet it’s super low mileage…..






For this mileage, I was quite surprised to see both driveshaft splashing grease quite a lot.




However, I found quite big marking on the wheel arch at the front so 100% sure it had huge aftermarket wheels with big offset.
It still has thick wheel spacers at the rear as well.

Quite often, people doesn’t pay much attention when changing the tyre spec, rideheight, alignment, etc.
All these will change the life of the driveshaft.

    Thank you for sharing your experience.
    It’s more to do with the tyre manufacture, tyre model and the structure/characteristic.

    For example, 215 from tyre manufacture A could be much wider than the same size 215 from manufacture B.

    And when you apply G Lat to the tyre, depending on the structure and characteristic, one tyre could dramatically change its shape compared to another one.
    Compared to the OEM BS 010, Yoko Neova AD-08 showed very interesting shape under Lat load.
