    Moving to Austin

    Welcome to Austin! Make sure you take traffic into account when you are looking for a house. I'm not sure where you plan to setup an office for your business, but make sure it isn't too far from home. Traffic on 360 can be pretty brutal. The area you are looking at is nice and Westlake has...

    The "J" Swap

    Wow. As someone who has a beautiful NSX sitting in the garage with a blown head gasket, this thread is really appealing! I'm pretty sure I will be ordering a kit! I drove Ross's K20 NSX. We did all of one lap at Firebird and did some straight line testing on the road just outside the track...

    GROUP DRIVE (NSteXpo) details and Group number sign up.

    Let me know where you want to put the Volvo S60. My preference would be the back of Group 3 with Ko-nsx since it sounds like he will be rolling the Magnum. We are also a maybe on the drive and may just hop in the Magnum with Ko-nsx.

    Anyone here have only 1 race seat instead of 2?

    I had this setup for a long time. It didn't look that bad. Some track day organizers may require "equal" restraints, which may cause some problems if you are running a harness and racing seat on on side and stock seat in the other like I was.

    Stoptech BBK review from my Thunderhill track day

    Ditch the pads that came with the Stop Tech's, they aren't very good for the track. The Stoptech kit itself is pretty awesome though. I think it will actually save you money on pads/rotors over the stock setup in the long run.

    Rear brake pads wear out faster then front?

    Seems unusual. I usually experience rear brake wear similar to nsxtasy, about two to one front to rear. How does the car feel on track? Does it seem like the rears wan't to lock first, does the car feel normal under braking? Perhaps check the parking brake to see if it has a bit too much...

    Engine swaps

    I think a K Series NSX will be awesome once someone has a completely sorted setup. I drove the STMPO NSX at a Redline event. The car wasn't really ready and we didn't get a chance to compete. I did get to do some straight line tests and did all of 3/4 of a lap. The ECU had an issue and the...

    LoveFab debuts 850-HP NSX Pikes Peak hill-climber [w/video]

    I think only two cars actually didn't break and ran the unlimited class :) But still very cool that they made it up the hill. I bet they go faster next year with more time to work on the car and get it setup properly. http://www.usacracing.com/ppihc/ts/2012?mylaps=type,run,runid,2414826

    NASA NSX classification?

    I have a TTB NSX here in Texas. Yes it's competitive. The best TTB competitors that I am up against for a win in my region are in E-46 M3's and one guy from far away with an S2000. You basically want to do all the non-compliance stuff, coilovers without an external reservoir (I run JRZ RS)...

    Track alignment with non compliance beam and links

    Front: 1.8 degrees camber, .15 degrees toe out, 9 degrees caster Rear: 2.4 degrees camber, .05 degrees toe in Try that as a starting point for a mostly track car with non compliance.

    Left foot braking (LFB)

    I left foot brake some corners on most of the tracks I visit when I don't need to downshift, for those corners I heel toe. I run the Autovation Pedals which make heel toe a little nicer. I also come from a karting background, so the left foot braking is a bit easier after years of doing it in...

    OEM Caliper + Larger rotor

    I'm not very impressed with the RB Kit. My kit had pretty bad fitment issues and I had to grind a significant amount of materiel from my calipers, especially my left caliper. On the track I've found that the rotors don't last any longer than the Stoptech Aero Rotors and that the RB rotors use...

    NASA events

    I run my NSX in TTB in the Texas region. I'm about to do the whole season this year, having only run one time trial last year, which I did manage to win (9 cars in class). I think the NSX can be very competitive in TTB. A lot will depend on your driving ability and ability to setup the car...
