Sorry to hear some of you are having problems again with Dickhead-Dali. This guy is a thief as some of us found out a few years back. Unfortunately our criticisms posted here (intended to be warnings...

Performance really seems to depend on the car and also how run-in and loosened up it is. As I've posted before, my car (3.2 manual) was owned by the Group Chairman of Autocar/Haymarket and Autocar...

I always suspected that I had a blueprinted Type-R engine back there!

Dear Paul,

It's definitely quieter at idle so your waterpump explanation is probably correct. Thanks.

Had the work done at Bexleyheath Honda (Dutton Forshaw):

6.5 hour's labour so total cost was £560 including coolant and a general checkover.

(Got parts from SoS)

Car feels good but is now...

Happy to oblige.

Must admit that the published performance figures always put me off a bit...then Mo gave me a ride in his 3.0, and the rest as they say is history!

SilverSurfer,

Thanks Simon,

I don't think I have those. I'll show whoever I get to do the work what I've got - there's bound to be a few other bits and pieces that I've overlooked!

Hi Simon,

Thanks, to answer your question, I'm not sure! I bought what SoS suggested would be needed. What do they look like?

I have 2 packets of 3 black rubbery things (valve gaskets) 6...

Ordered the waterpump, timing belt, valve cover gaskets, tube seal and washer head cover from SoS. All OEM Honda stuff in the original packaging..Took around 2 weeks..

Costs were:
Water pump $262...

Thank you Simon,

I've emailed SoS and will hopefully hear back from them next week. As I said before, I just can't risk using Dali/Mark Johnson despite his reasonable prices..

Has anyone used...

Dutton Forshaw Honda (Bexleyheath, Kent) have quoted the following:

Hello everyone,

My 3.2 1998 manual is due a new cambelt and plugs service this year. I'm tempted to get the waterpump done at the same time. My local Honda dealer has quoted me about £1200 for the...

That's right Simon. It was registered as R462 ULL and owned by Autocar and then Eric Verdon-Roe (Big Boss at haymarket who publish Autocar).

Thanks everyone,

Thank you. Very entertaining!

It didn't sound as though you hit top revs much at all. Shouldn't the porsche driver have pulled over to let you pass way before? You were all over him!

Dear 'NSX God' / Dali Racing / Mark Johnson,

I'm not convinced that they are legal.

Just because the seller says that they are and that he has some stamps, doesn't mean that they are.
