    NSX needs new rubber?

    I have a 17/17 set up and have tried Dunlop SP sport max Goodyear F1 GSD3 Dunlops have superb dry and wet grip. Almost too much dry grip as when they give out it happens fast but they hold awesome till that point. Harsh ride but quiet. 8k and they were done but I have aggressive alignment...

    free track day!

    A better exit out of 5 might get me to 213:biggrin: Dang, them are some high speeds. Betcha I get better mileage though. One fellow decided to put 100 octane in his Ferrari as he was filling up just in front of me, 55 l cost him over $ 200.00 and I was wondering what was up. After that he was...

    free track day!

    Second NSX was the Honda dealer dude but it was not his Aston as he only brought the NSX. The Aston was apparently even a higher end model with a carbon tub construction. 650 HP P cars, man I tell you, they get down the back straight in a hurry. In hindsight I should have asked for a ride, I...

    Muchas Gracias Dave!! Beoootiful day with light traffic on the track. At days end we were only 4 cars on at a time, only 8 at a time max earlier on. Got a bit lonely out there. Had instructors out with me for the first time in a while and its nice to get a few finer points to work on . One other...

    NSX Fall Cruise

    There are a few other small sections but farther North and not really worth the drive. Its a ton of highway driving to get to a few turns. Nothing I have found compares to the original plan but guess we'll have to wait till next year to see if it gets fixed up.

    NSX Fall Cruise

    ROAD REPORT: Well you had better have a PLAN B Road is Fugly! I took out the NSX and it has never seen so much gravel. The lower section has a 1.5 km section of pure gravel and its just the right size to get stuck in your treads and flung about. So I figure I'll carry on to the Northern part...

    NSX Fall Cruise

    I'll try to get out this weekend, tough job but someone has to do it! My in laws live at the top end so I may have to get up for a visit:biggrin: A buddy drove it on a bike a few weeks ago and he said it was still a bit rough. If its in decent shape its definitely well worth the drive! Best road...

    NSX Fall Cruise

    If you guys are planning to do the same road as last time, I heard it is beat up a bit. I drove it once in the early summer and there were quite a few loose gravel patches where there used to be nice pavement. I live near Orillia and will come along for sure. May get a chance to drive it...

    Abs Not Working

    My car was real low mileage for a 91 ( 30 k when I bought it 3 yrs ago) and the original owner seemed to have not done any maintenance other than basic fluid changes. I don't think it ever worked properly since I got it. Once after coming back from a 2 week vacation, I took it out and proceeded...

    Abs Not Working

    Forget the paper clip as you want a switch so you can easily turn it on and off. I just used an old switch I had from my house and connected it to a couple wires. Then installed two blade type female connectors on the wires which fit nicely onto the relay terminals. You will also need another...

    50 Over in Ontario and you're screwed!

    Makes the T top a desirable option for sure. I usually do look up before doing any sprinting on an empty section of Hwy, have to stick my head out the window though:frown:

    Insurance Help & Suggestions ...

    Location, location ,location! Was paying $ 2600 for a 91 in Toronto and that shriveled up to $ 1150 for the full year out of city. I only insure it for 7 months on road and 5 in garage for a total of approx $ 800.00. Current location is 10 minutes north of Barrie where I write this from my...

    Look Ma, No Garrick!

    Nice job as any DIY is always a good experience and brings you closer to your loved one. Not sure about the navigation stuff though as you get there faster and spend less time driving:frown:

    Track Days - what is the issue?

    You got me on that one as my statement should have read " cheapest, easiest and still quite effective way" I actually bought ducting etc but it seemed like torture to run it so I opted fr the easier method. What size duct did you use and how did you manage to run it back to the rotors? The air...

    Track Days - what is the issue?

    I would think that the pads are still touching the rotors even when at stop. If I jack up any car and try to spin the wheels there is always friction and therefore I assume light contact so I always cool down as best as possible before coming to a stop. The extra air cooling is best achieved by...

    Track Days - what is the issue?

    Since less than 10% of us go to the track the math says we all need brake upgrades:wink:

    Track Days - what is the issue?

    Bought the car with the stock stuff on it so I can only hope the bedding was done properly. It was a garage queen and looked pretty mint. It caused me no problems until I got to an open tracking day where I ran plenty of continuous laps and started to get more aggressive coming into the turns...

    Track Days - what is the issue?

    In the test from the the link I mentioned, they found the newer brakes were definitely better. The author eventually mounted a newer system on his older car and stated there was a marked improvement. With the upgraded brakes I was getting to 210 on the straight as I could stay on it longer with...

    Track Days - what is the issue?

    Yep, theres the $ 5000 worth of upgrades to get it track worthy. Stock tires. No one has any left after 10,000km so its kinda a non issue for comparison sake. I still say the brakes are weak. If you want to see how fast you can do on the backstraight at Mosport you are going to need brakes at...
