I have wondered if the ezpass transponder data is being looked at by anyone. "They" can see your car's tag and the timestamps at points along your route.

I was at Daisy last week and there were six NSX in the shop getting work done. Ben gets cars from all over, even overseas. He has been taking care of all my cars for about 35 years now as I worked my way from CRX to NSX.

Ben at Daisy Import Auto always has a shop full of NA1's from all over. He has been taking care of my fleet for 35 years or so. Daisy Import Auto 2878 Daisy Rd Woodbine, MD 21797 410-489-9334

It's a lot harder than it looks. It is especially hard to get the weave to look good on a shape like the mirror. I would suggest that you grab a couple similar shape mirrors from the junkyard and some epoxy and fiber to try it yourself. It's fun and might take some of the sting out of writing...

Sure they do, like for my other car for example: https://www.knsbrakes.com/c/car-items/1835_2012+Mazda+3+Mazda+Speed+3+-+Turbo+2.3L+Engine//4_Race+Brake+Pads You should just call or email them and ask if they can get the NSX size GP503 and GP504.

Growing up in Detroit (1960's), seeing any foreign car was unusual so they had some sort of exotic appeal. Once I started to travel outside the US however, I found that all the trucks, taxis, etc. were Mercedes and they were treated like ordinary vehicles. From that time on, I think of them as...

Besides the performance of the Stoptech brakes, there are some pragmatic reasons also. If you drive your car to the track, it takes no time at all to swap pads when you get there. And if you unexpectedly need to replace pads and don't have any, finding a someone with a spare set to bail you...

Agreed. Regarding the "turn-in" aspect, I was picturing the cars on the track that lift the inside tire completely off the track, in which case it obviously has no effect on the turning. But it appears that point is reached sometime after the turn-in phase of the corner. I suppose with a...

I am finding this discussion very interesting. In the quoted article, the author notes that his model assumes that the tire loading is equal at all times. Which means that the weight transfer effect on the tires Billy described is not factored in. As speeds increase, weight transfer increases...
