    The wheels look good. The rear might need 10mm more lowering.

    My tires won't get older than two years, always fresh rubber.

    Car feels so much better on the new tyres, the old ones were that old, they were as hard as plastic, so hardly surprising.
    Wheels look really good Wix, good choice mate.👍

    Why not fit brand new rotors as apposed to skimming and if slotted or drilled they will really set your wheels off???😎

    Hope soon on your list is to remove that bent manual aerial.

    Didn't replace discs at this stage as there was plenty of material on them, they just needed a skim. Also, wanted to get wheels on before I look into potential bigger brakes, to know what will fit.

    Strange you mention the aerial, I was thinking of swapping it for a bee sting type, off an S2000. What's the most popular swap ?

    S2000 twig fits an ovoid hole, so is a PIA.

    Most aftermarket beestings will fit an NSX. My S2000 has a body washer JB-Welded in to take the DAB twig in the funny hole.

    I use a DAB converter on the NSX's bumper-car pole.

    “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

    Thanks Nick,

    Any chance of a bit more of a laymans type of description or even pics or diagrams ? I'm assuming you mean by PIA, it's a direct fit to the NSX body ? (Parts In Assembly, is how we refer to PIA at JLR).

    Cheers

    Thought it was about time I added some pics of this winters re-fresh work. Complete strip down of the top end of the engine to replace a knock sensor originally but decided whilst it was stripped down to replace all seals, sensors, gaskets, water hoses, thermostat and whatever else that looked dubious or is awkward to access when the engine is fully assembled. Also a thorough cleaning and check of inlet manifold. All replacement OEM parts from Amayama.

    Shots of the before condition/cleanliness.

    Engine block top before, including leaves and what was in effect compost from them having rotted down.

    fuel injectors now away for cleaning and testing, hopefully nothing wrong with them, they looked pretty clean so do the back of the valves having looked down the cylinder heads at them. Not bad for a car that's done 180K miles.
