    Oil pressure and (probably) temps--arrgh

    I havent checked oil temps but i've never ran longer than an hour straight lapping session. Should probably install a temp gauge since these cars have been known to overheat the oil during lapping. Oil pressure drop happens about 10-15min into the lapping anyways. I've also tried running 40wt...

    Oil pressure and (probably) temps--arrgh

    Chris and Billy are right. The oil pressure switch (for the low oil light) is at the oil filter housing. The oil pressure sending unit is on the cylinder head (for the gauge). I have tried teeing in a mechanical oil pressure gauge at the pressure switch near the filter housing to check...

    NSX Alberta Meet - Sunday, March 16th

    Showed up around 2:30 but couldnt find anybody in the restaurant. They were closing for brunch and ushered me out. Not sure where you guys were at. Checked downstairs in the pub too but no groups larger than 2 people there either? Where did everyone go?

    Will I rub?

    Sorry R-GT but i cant find any instructions anywhere for the install. Any competent mechanic should be able to install them if they know what they are doing and what the part is used for. On another note i also found the sport cups had more grip than the ra1's. I've talked to other people felt...

    Will I rub?

    Oops! Yes, car is lowered. Tein RA's about 2/3" higher than factory setting which lowers the car about 1 1/2" all around. Mostly notice in rubbing the rear gusset on full lock and the fender liner rub on speed bumps and large dips/bumps and heavy heavy braking i guess.

    Will I rub?

    I'm running 235/40r17 hankook r's up front with 17x8 offset 43 wheels up front and they rub on the top edge of the fender liner as well as the rear frame gusset (where the mudflap would sit). I also have the comptech offset front lower ball joints installed and about 3.3 degrees of camber for...

    Hey guys! Forgot to put our website on all our posts. It's Option-import.com. I'll get back to you on the price for the supercharger but most of the information including installation time should be posted on ct's site so ours should be really similar. I'll send out pm's next week, thanks...

    Run in with an F430

    That might have been me in my old '83 supra. I just sold it 3 months ago. It has a 7mgte engine out of a '90 supra turbo with some goodies in it. Do you live in Calgary as well?

    Run in with an F430

    Hey guys, I agree with Stuntman's post. I run with the exotic sports car club in Calgary at Racecity speedway about 8 times a year and it is made up of mainly stock vehicles with some modified cars as well. There are a few stock nsx's, a couple of supercharged nsx's and lots of E46's of...
