Slowly recovering from the flu like symptom so decided to focus on the easy bits before moving onto the interior noise issue that will be a big task.

Painted the ‘NSX’ logo on the brake calliper in Very High Temperature (VHT) spec silver paint.


Not easy to show the true colour with the digital camera and the effect of the flash.


In this photo, it looks like white but it's not.


Not too dull but not too flashy and just about the right contrast with the matt black in the back ground.



As I couldn’t do this before baking all the callipers inside the BBQ, I need to be very careful not to touch the silver painted area as it requires gradual heat increase for the paint to cure.

Used 1” torque wrench to tighten the spindle nut for the completion of the drive shaft service.


Brought the car speed up to 20mph on the lift and didn’t trigger any ABS/TCS warning lights so seems like the RL wheel speed sensor is still surviving.

Replacing the engine oil and oil filter.


Nothing new here. Just pour some oil in the new filter before installation, extracted another 400 – 500cc of old oil from the top and then new oil goes in.

    Hi, Andy.

    Thank you for the kind message and I'm slowly recovering but keep pushing as usual.

    Too old for this though....
