Here is my castle - well actually more of a mini stately-home, but let's not split hairs....Quote:

ok, so it's not actually mine, but down the road a bit.
Your NSX would look amazing on the forecourt in front of the steps....
When I get one, I'll get a photo from that exact location.
Yep I stayed there back in 2001 (well in the stables next door actually, but they were connected lol)Quote:

Your gorgeous Midnight Pearl NSX-T - what interior does it have - I'm assuming black, but not the later perforated leather? Photos would be great. What mileage is on the clock?
What's next on the build?
Ha..thats the place!! Wasnt quite so plush as the castle IIRC!!Quote:

NSX-R spoiler and OEM front lip are the only two other mods planned at the moment.
In an effort to remove any excess electrics that could potentially fail, I removed the "factory fitted" Honda OEM alarm.
Of course, when I say factory fitted, it was clearly done at a UK dealer by an apprentice as the install was pretty poor.
Anyway, all gone now and I've refitted something a lot more suitable to prevent theft!

Have done a mega service over the last couple of days
Timing belt, tensioner, water pump, crank pulley.
Oil and filter, trans fluid change, coolant flush, new plugs
Compression check (210,210,215,210,215,210) - not bad eh!
Valve clearances (arms now ache!)
Well she's been dry stored over winter and I felt she needed a new clutch so decided to drop engine and give it a thorough clean and replace the sump (rusty) and a few seals. Belt, pump etc.. was done last year so no need for that. Oh and some nice refurbed valve covers.

Is this one of the CAT D ones? The plate rings a bell, I could be wrong.
