Hotel at South Ruislip ! that's nearly 40 miles from the event - is this correct ?

[duncan]

All,
At the risk of being drummed out of the Brownies for not playing with children my own age.
There is a Honda based day out on Sunday 27 April at the airfield at North Weald, [a mile or so off the A414 junction on the M11].

Any takers for an Essex/Cambridgeshire mini meet here, or are we [all] too old.

About 6 weeks too early for me .... Then looking forward to meeting up with friends old and new, regularly!!!

have a good meet .... Give SS (Kare) a nudge, he may want to rake the one he's selling ...

[britlude]

well we're too old, but when's that ever stopped us! gotta check with Sarah, but North weald isn't too far :)

we could be all aloof and elitist! :)

did anyone ever venture to the south Mimms services meet?

if not we'll have to sort a mini meet anyway, it's been too long!

Will try to make it, but most likely later in the day and paying at the gate. Got something else on in the morning, but the allure of Rude Kid and DJ Nino is too much to resist. Off into town to try to find one of those backwards baseball caps. Innit.

The rear hatch glass is in fact polycarbonate with a rectangular hole cut-out allowing air into the engine compartment.....potentially functional.

Maybe Im missing something (apart from the event), but as this was a 'Honda' get together, how comes you Gents and your NSX' ended up what looks like the back of the display stuck on the grass when everyone else looks to be a) a long way off and b) in better location?

Was this more of a yoof gathering and you didnt fit in?

[britlude]

t'was more yoof orientated show but we were power parked on the grass... And everyone could see the cars better! As the show filled further we had another 2 lines of cars behind us!

We were facing toward the access/entry road, the rest were facing away!!

[L696ULO]

We followed Jonathan as he had been to his aloof and elitist classes !

[britlude]

don't pin the blame on me, i just parked next to Sorepaws! ;)

Wasn't too bad a day in all, tho one woman did remark they are just like an MR2 with an 'H' badge on the front! The cheek of it....

And the main gate security guard didn't lift the barrier as he didn't realise the line of 4 NSX were hondas!!!!!

What do you expect. Many of the yoof of today have only ever seen an NSX on Gran Turismo on their X Box

[G4CRX]

Hi All, I’m the owner of the black CRX. Was really nice chatting to the members I met yesterday and thank you for the compliments on my car, great to have feedback from NSX owners!

As said I had this CRX imported from Japan back in 1998 completely standard and have slowly modified it over the last 16 years, which is not far off the average age of Honda owners at the meet yesterday lol.

The turbo conversion was done over 3 years ago now and I always wanted a fast road setup, useable power which was on tap instantly, the Garrett T28 that came in the Nissan Pulsar GTiR was a perfect match, all the other parts were custom made including manifold, intercooler, charge piping etc. I used the original b16 (1.6ltr) engine with low compression pistons/forged internals, the block is built to take 400bhp+, but my goal was always around 300 with a small turbo.

I didn’t manage to track down the rest of the NSX’s (it was too damn cold), but I did manage to grab pics of a couple of NSX’s, I believe the green one in the hanger belongs to a member on here...

Might have noticed that my car was probably the dirtiest car in the whole event, definitely so inside the hanger, it’s because I was at Santapod the day before attending the annual CRX meet and dragging the car up the quarter mile....

IIRC they were the photos used in the for sale ad about 8 years ago?

[G4CRX]

Sounds about right, he went on to buy a S2000 which he did a turbo conversion on and was running over 400bhp, currently has an Lotus Exiege - but that's up for sale now also.
