I've helped a friend of mine import a motorbike in France a couple of years ago.
The French authorities wil require a "Certificat de conformité" to prove the car conforms to EU standards.
Honda France is the place to go to to get the document.
I know these guys quite well and could ask them what...
Since I decided to stop tracking the car, I removed my LoveFab turbo and now contemplate selling the complete kit including the AEM EMU
I've done approximately 20 thousand kilometers with it mainly driving back and forth to track days.
Idealy it should be picked-up locally but I could package it...
Hi Ex36,
I was looking for an exhaust with a reasonable noise level and you seem to be happy with the "Circuit Werks" model.
Is it the same as this one: https://www.ebay.com/itm/151247990070?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&fromMakeTrack=true
Thanks

Coming back to the Spa Francorchamps track day here are some comments I'd like to share.
Clearly the NA NSX is no match for the current cars I met!
A majority of GT3's of course, one Z06, some KTM's and Lotus Exige's. but also McLaren's.
Even the Alpine Renault with it's 1.6 liter engine would...
Yes, I had calculated a front bias of 53.85% assuming same disk sizes.
I believe Honda augmented the rear bias on the NA2 to improve the wet weather breaking.
The offset of that would indeed be rear wheel lock up in the dry.
Knowing that, Honda introduced the proportionning valves on the NA2 to...
I came back from Spa Francorchamps today and here's what I dicovered.
It's a long journey to get there from my place in France with around 1000 km of mainly highways but not only...
The pads had been bedded in before I left, at least that's what I though!
In fact when I got closer to the track...
I got my RSL 29 Pagid rear brake pads today!
They are yellow and pricy ...
Here are the specs:

Hi Bruno,
Thanks for the confirmation on the proportionning valve!
I suppose it was added on the 2002 ABS models to reduce the pressure to the rear calipers to avoid lock up in emergency braking?
Given that I'm using larger pistons front and rear, I'm creating more stopping power at less fluid...
For many years, I used a BBK from Movi't in Germany consisting of 322x32 rotors and Brembo calipers as used on the Porsche 993 Turbo.
The setup worked very well with a home made kit with 4 piston AP Racing calipers in the rear.
Beeing a perfectionist...I bought a Brembo rear BBK with 330x28...
I believe there is no difference between NA and CTSC with respect to the PCV design as the throttle body gets the income air at atmospheric pressure in both cases.
The problems arise when you go turbo!
Hi Bruno, outstanding job as usual.
I believe I went the same route as you by upgrading my front Brembo/Porsche front brake setup ( 38 and 44 mm pistons) with the rear BBK from Brembo with 36 and 40 mm pistons.
It would probably be a good idea now to upgrade the M/C as you did.
What's the...
