Hey, sorry for chiming in late here, but I ran the NT01 in 15/16 last year to see if I could "get away" with them.... there is no comparison to the 17/18 setup on these cars. I was able to buy NT01's in 225front 245rear, allbeit with a 50 sidewall in back (!) and in terms of wear the rears...

Here's what I did: 1991 NSX purchased with 100K on it and in need of: -LR wheel bearing (DDozier fixed) -cam seels/VTEC gaskets (DDozier) -oil pan gasket (DDozier) -transmission mount (DDozier) -new tires -clutch master (Did myself, what a BITCH!) -fuel filter (Did myself, remember to plug the...

So what are the pads that come with the Stoptech kit comparable to? Or do you just use the OEM Acura pads in the kit? I'm sorry I don't have experience with them. I too use NT01's but I run the stock system with ABS disabled, like illwillem, and I use Hawk HT10 front and Hawk Blue in the...

Thank you Billy, I really appreciate your comments! Yes, you can see there was not much entry speed left in the cars current configuration, a switch to the bigger front bar may have netted me less tail-hangery on entry....and I was thinking the rear wing might do that too? I do still have the...

This is brilliant, I have never read it. With just -3 camber on my car I can confirm coming straight in from 5 hot laps in a row with the probe guage, the insides are definitely hotter than the middle and outside, however the middle and outside seemed equal across the board as I eluded to in my...

Thanks Captain - we missed you out there, had my work cut out for me chasing Dave, would have been nice to have another guy with years of laps on that track to learn from too though! ...when will you bring the NSX back out to play?

Yes and I said: "Springs don't physically take traction away at the tire like a sway bar (maybe if you go to 1000lb.s or something?) they simply change the body roll characteristics which is a product of the weight distribution of the car - where is most of the weight and what effect will...

:-) Thanks Dave! Yeah, for sure, to be fair Dave was running on well-used sets of NT01's and mine only had one NASA weekend on them before hand. For tire pressures, I do what Dave says: 36 as a hot target, no more. I would hot pit just to check and had to bleed off twice to get down there...

Thank you Billy. So a harder front spring OR a harder front bar if you had to choose? I know, each car is modified and driven differently. I'm anticipating understeer from 80mph up with JUST the rear wing. I figure slightly more rear spring will neutralize this but I could be wrong, and I...

Thanks Willem! - means alot coming from you. If I had my way I would move out to Cali. and enjoy the year round track season with you guys! Hope the AE86 is coming along as planned...can't wait for Mike to call me to tell me my wing is done and shipping out, I'm anxious to see the difference...

Yeah, I don't think anyone that has tried a large bar like that in the rear on an NSX kept it on very long - I'm sure the book Mr. Johnson recommends will mention something about the fact that sway bars - the bigger you go, are DECREASING traction AT THE TIRE from turn-in to exit...that is why...

No, Coz was very helpful as I believe they are one of his sponsors - he placed a call to them after I had not heard back and they called me back in Feb to inform me they were sold out, so I placed an order and paid up front so they could make another "run" of them on there machine. I believe...

I have 235/40 17 NT01 in front with zero rubbing issues BUT I am only about an 1" lower than stock height and have -3 camber in front courtesy of CT camber bushings. Coilovers are KW V3 with the 347 spring currently. In comparison DDozier has the exact same wheel/tire setup as me, a slightly...

Sorry to hear it, I saw your earlier post too. Its a difficult position to be in: here you have one of the most amazing sports cars ever built, it begs you to drive harder and push a little bit more but you don't want to do that on the street. Personally its a boring affair to drive my NSX...
