    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)

    DrMikey,

    Here?



    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!!

    Its black and has the non perforated seats. It has 130k but has been very well maintained and I will be undertaking all the major service items.

    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!

    I wholeheartedly concur with the foregoing*

    “I find myself irresistibly attracted to cars that nobody else buys. The NSX is a classic of the genre because nobody buys it and yet it’s a fantastic car. It’s got a wonderful compactness and simplicity and unpretentiousness to it. Honda rudely continues to make them whether we like it or not, even though there can be no commercial logic in doing so — I thoroughly admire that.” Rowan Atkinson

    No, no; mine's the same.

    It's like tin can telephones; if the string ain't stretched tight, the alarm don't work. Or else copper wire is too expensive for Hamilton & Palmer...

    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.
