    just let me know ... a real mans game. As apposed the bhp bullocks

    Would be a shame if we don't do this before we either die, sell our cars, or just get too old drive our cars to their potential.
    Ha ha, bring it on.

    A few years ago I joined the MSA, got my racing pack, kit etc to go sprinting. It's the only motorsport you can do in a completely standard car, ie you need no roll cage. The sprint events are cheap, and you mix with real motorsports enthusiasts, not the 'tuner boy brigade'. I was thinking back then to start an NSX sprint challenge which we could run inside the main championship.

    If we got serious we could even get the NSXCB to become a MSA club, and run our own series!

    Sprinting, for those that don't know, is like doing one lap of a track, on your own. Usually the tracks are airfields.
    If your fear of staying alive, outweighs the thrill of making the corner, brake.

    Hi Rob,

    Have a look at these, now OEM for a number of manufacturers including Audi

    I was talking to my tyre guy today as I need tyres for my daily use and have been using these on the Merc. Appears they are now available in OEM NSX sizes for @ £80 fronts and £150 rears.

    I have been very pleased with these. They offer very good wet weather grip, have stiff sidewalls and in the recent dry weather have proved both quiet and informative.

    Maybe worth a try? I'll be geting some for the new rims in a few weeks

    regards, Paul

    I never knew Hankook made tyres suitable for the NSX. I found this tyre test & the S2 is the closest comparison to our cars. HTH
