I gave the door/window seals a couple of good doses of Holt's silicone & rubber lubricant. Lots.
It's not completely cured it (the passenger window stops a tad too high & pinches the seal) but it's gone from irritating at 80 to irritating at the sort of speeds you are talking about.
Probably if you could contrive to drown them & then leave the windows down for 24 hours, they'd come back to shape fully. Must try that...

“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
I can't remember which final drive ratio your car has in it 4.44:1 or 4.55:1? The revs, on the rev counter in the video, look about right for a 4.55 i.e. about to hit the limiter at 166mph.
Either way your car is perfectly geared for VMAX at this event

The older I get, the faster I was
I have the OS Giken LSD + 4.4 final drive. As far as I know there is no such thing as 4.44, at least from OS Giken, the 4.44 is a typo on the SoS website. The rev counter shows 8k rpm but that really means about 7700rpm, my car hits the rev limiter at an indicated 8.5k rpm. Also the shift light comes on displaying higher rpm than programmed.
This would mean the gearing could achieve ~175-176mph with the current gears and tyres.
I came across this video whilst someone was loading up the previous vids on their virgin media tv:
I did a few of these at the end of the event which led to me needing a new clutch! More due to a problematic clutch that absolute wear, it still doesn't slip now.
Sounds good Ed. When is the next one?
