Am I the only one to get the number plate referance :rolleyes:

[Hagasan]

Am I the only one to get the number plate referance :rolleyes:

No, just the only one that brags they can count to eight ;) Top of the class lol...

[Plans Performance]

Today at Plans: It's nice when the number plates match.

8 NSX is my favourite plate out of that lot. I'm trying to get a 666 plate for the Lambo.

Nice setup you have there!

Cool web address Graham, www.nsxuk.com (http://www.nsxuk.com), I didn't know you had that, is it new???

[Plans Performance]

No, not new at all. We have had www.nsxuk.com and www.plansperformance.com running for some time now. www.nsxuk.xcom is our NSX-specific site, and is sales focussed. www.plansperformance.com is our more general site that has not-so-nice other cars like Porsches and Nobles, together with our racing / driver coaching activities etc.

If you Google "NSX servicing", or "NSX for sale", both are usually on the first page....

Type-R Recaros, just back from refurbishment and re-trimming, ready to go back in our Indy Yellow Pearl Type-R. Just beautiful!

[exiges1]

I wonder who was the 'model' for these seats? Can you imagine trying to provide a generic seat width that fits/suits customers across all world markets particularly in the late 80's when there was less data to work with.

They look superb, well done the trimmer.

I fit fine in mine in my Type S - I'm not short or light, and find them very comfortable, if slightly cumbersome to get in and out of. I think I have got the technique down now, so don't look too silly extricating myself - the sill pad is a very useful aid.

[marknsx]

The parachute regiment taught how to roll so when it didn't go well I look good

With mine and even with the OEM stock seats I always move the seat backwards - this also helps prevent use of the steering wheel which I'm advised should never be used as an aid to exit ... rgds Paul

[NZNick]

To get in, I step in with my left leg and using my right hand on the sill pad and left hand on the arm-rest/box lid, lower myself vertically into the seat, without touching either the steering wheel or seat side bolsters. Exiting is more-or-less the reverse of this.

I cringe when people heft on the steering wheel to get in and out of their cars.

There cannot be many LBB NA2 facelifts in the UK, but here are three of them at Plans today...

RE02 KNO used to be a Honda promotional / demonstrator car:

Sad to see P111 go.

But I'll get K2NSX out of storage and over to you for recommissioning ASAP. Can't have a Summer with no NSX days! :)

[Plans Performance]

Today at Plans.... Nice matching pair: These two 1991 NSX's have 175,000 and 178,000 miles respectively. But drive like they have done a third of this. Perfect examples of the excellence of Honda engineering. H925 gone to new owner today. H14 for sale!

Today at Plans - out on a test drive with a potential purchaser for W1.... stopped to refuel... and guy in a beautiful, original, unrestored Ferrari 330 GTC stops behind us at the pumps... and he says:

" Wow, an NSX; you don't see many of those; I've always thought they were fantastic; that's a rare car"

....couldn't have gone better had I paid an actor to do it :)

http://i45.photobucket.com/albums/f55/thegits/w1%20-%201.jpg

By the way, thanks to mjames75 for a great detailing job.

Once again, how can there be a better colour for the NA1!! Beautiful

I hope you took the opportunity to give him your business card, sounds like a buying signal to me, especially as he's on your door step, I even recognise that fuel station, it's the esso station in Bramley. Very affluent area if ever there was.:)

Today at Plans - A really good day with the Indy Yellow Pearl Type-R going to its new owner. Here is is parked next to another Type-R (owned by Kye_P, here for some mechanical work):

Championship White with Red Recaros - The "classic" spec.
Indy Yellow Pearl with black Recaros - Nice!

http://i45.photobucket.com/albums/f55/thegits/kye%20-%201.jpg

Full, detailed pictures of the rebuild / restoration process can be seen here:

https://plans.smugmug.com/Type-R

From start to finish: From delivery in the UK; in the workshop next to yet another NA1 Type-R (owned by ShawNSX5); to at home with the matching-spec McLaren!

[marknsx]

Another great colour!

[Pride]

Your operation would be the first place I would visit if results go my way Graham, you certainly get some beautiful examples 👌👍

[mjames75]

Thanks to Graham for replacing my snapped rear ARB, not doing bad for the mileage!

[Plans Performance]

Another pic of our Indy Pearl Yellow Type-R; my favourite from our gallery showing the full rebuild/ restoration process. I'm not sure how many agree but perhaps the McLaren 570S is more like what the replacement NSX should have been like than the actual new NSX?

Agreed.

Certainly if I was in the market to spend this sort of money on a new car, it would be going to Woking.

Turbo is existing - we are doing full engine rebuild and 3.4 conversion

[marknsx]

Which is the recommended turbo, if any, to fit to the 3.0 NA1 engine? Cosworth and Litchfield do a nice turbo additionon the Subaru BRZ

I see that Jaffaz32 is still going for big power...Hopefully NSXPrime can answer all his concerns...Good luck and hope you guys succeed.

Yes, hopefully no oils leaks on this one.....

Or at least some form of warranty would be good,...

Spit it out Joe..... Like an oil leak! I mean you are over twenty years old now...You're expected to leak aren't you even if you've been seen too?!?

The current fitted turbo is a GT35, turbo sizing is very important. Too small and it will choke, too big and it will be laggy.

There are a few different options.

The Main kits:

LoveFab which is a single turbo kit
Angus another single turbo kit which is sold as a DIY home install kit.
Science of Speed twin turbo kit.

There are other kits:

Driving ambitions
Prospeed
Cartech.

[marknsx]

Thank you for the info

Or by us NSX owners.

Just a few errors in the description/specification:

Targa not saloon
It's a 4 speed auto not a 6 speed manual
Therefore 252bhp not 276
Torque 210 not 220
Top speed 158 not 170

Otherwise a great advert.:)

Yes, that's all the stuff that's pre-filled automatically by Pistonheads - corrected now!

They're truly what NSX dreams are made of.👍

I want one.😎

I also noticed that the Anglesey test car only just made it back for the pad change before disc damage, good timing.👏

[Plans Performance]

I think you are looking at the buffer side of the pad, not the friction side - we wouldn't let the pads get that low!

[dcnsx]

Thanks again to Graham for showing me around last weekend, it was the first time id seen so many NSX's together. Nice cuppa too!
