Britludes NSX story

when i treated all the little steel brackets under the bonnet, i wanted to do the ABS pump bracket, so today i got the chance to take it off and give it a treat!

here's the offending article (a new replacement is a bargain from Lings at just (57355-SL0-J00) BRACKET, PUMP £213.11 )

to this i added a coat of plastidip, just to give it a bit of stone-chip resistance

here's the before.... mmm crusty!

(the plasticoat 'twisted' as the bolts were nipped up!)

so that's another job jobbed...

... it must be winter, the original 15/16 inch wheels are back on with the winter tyres, and the tarty 17/18 3-piece wheels are broken down for a refurb

I'm looking for to next years colour ... my vote is for Charlotte Green with a sparkle finish!!

[britlude]

It'll be much the same I'm afraid, but hopefully with a little more colour on the highlights....

Hi Jonathan
How much do they charge for the service and are your struts OEM.

Many thanks
Mark

[britlude]

T'was £17.50 plus vat per strut plus £5.something postage back to me... Just over £48 total for the pair mine were shiny new OEM from Honda 7 or 8 years ago

As always, great support from SGS Engineering.

For your reference, they will first inspect your damper before proceeding with the re-gas.
Therefore, if your existing shaft is worn beyond the certain limit, they may refuse to re-gas it.
As this is Jonathan's build thread, don't want going off topic so please refer to the following link for further detail; http://www.nsxcb.co.uk/blog.php?1811...gs+engineering

wheels are back together, rear tyres refitted, just waiting for the front tyres to arrive!

angled to the sun, they definitely got some bling going on!

at normal angles it's more just a red highlight, a little more than before, but still subtle! and virtually black when it's overcast!

now to finish the servo overhaul on the hotrod.....

[Pride]

latest tweak... well, been on 'test' for a couple of months..... 'rear coil pack rain deflector exotic drain thingy'....

basically a splash guard for the back of the engine!





must sort a new pic of the finished version! and just noticed the painted rocker cover post above has the splash guard in it and no-one noticed!!!

full story, not that there's alot more to say... here http://www.nsxcb.co.uk/showthread.ph...-pack-solution

Hi Britlude, just got round to installing the "rain guard thingy" today.

Fitted perfectly, any other bits and pieces you've invented that you think I could make use of.

I also fitted an SIS carbon fibre scoop bonnet with, (and you'll like this), an ultra bright white Philips DRL lighting kit shinning through the mesh bonnet grille, it looks fantastic, and as it came out of my shattered Siebon carbon lip spoiler so it was just cable tied out of the way under the bonnet so I thought it best to make use of it.

But I'm now in need of a couple of washer jets, Honda UK want over £80/pair!!!
I don't suppose you've got a couple kicking around have you???

Best regards
Pride
