Nice one Jonathan,

went out out looking for a similar shot this morning but left it too late, so simply enjoyed some open roads ...

Season's Greetings everyone ... See many of you in 2018!!

regards, Paul

Yes a great pic Jon, that camera phone of yours is amazing or maybe it's the man behind the viewfinder, either way very well composed.
I love your early Xmas present Tony, how impressed are you with the power and torque increase???

I've just been for a spin down to Brighton sea front and back this morning after fitting my new Xmas present set of 19" rears, they didn't do a matching design 15" so I've decided to leave the originals on, (just need to get them sprayed white now) both ends wrapped in Toyo R888R's of course.👌👍

It feels far more pointy than before which I like and incredibly planted at the rear. I'm now looking forward to a "free" track session at Goodwood to really try them out and attempt a fine tune of my coilovers that is just as soon as I get a call from one of my track marshals mates.😎

Merry Christmas one and all and a Happy New Year.

😂 Tell Sarah she's not the only one to have done that today, while slowly cruising past the sea front cafes I don't think I've ever had so many shocked expressions from the women but the guys seem to love it.👍👏👏😂

If it's the wheels your referring to dcnx, I really wanted to keep the 15" 215/50/15 up front to maintain the grippy and kart like feel that Senna always loved while going for the biggest deep dish wheel and tyre for the rear, 295/30/19 on a J11

Actually until you've experienced an NSX with a big 4" difference between front and rear wheel sizes you can't imagine how good it actually does feel through the seat of your pants. Difficult to describe but if I see you at a meeting somewhere I will let you try for yourself.

Nothing ventured nothing gained as Aryton used to say.😂😂😂

Pride, please check if that combo is allowed in GB by the MOT. In Switzerland, that wouldn't be the case. The max. allowed difference is 40 mm in tyre width and max. 2.5'' in rim width.

Good advice goldnsx except my MOT tester for many years and I'm sure there are many like him, certainly never gets that technical. In fact he even turns a blind eye to no front number plate fitted at time of test. He even allows me to help him test it, bless him.😁

fortunately our MOT doesn't have that restriction (yet) .... my friends run cars with 15"x 15" rear wheels with 4.5"x15" on the front!!!!!

A few years ago I disabled it full time at the control unit anyway as the light on the dash was so bright and it can get hot and burn the yellow dash lens, but the main reason is that I didn't have to keep turning it of when I started the engine.

Happy New Year. Spotted a pre facelift green car at Brooklands New Year event this morning. Lots of people commenting on it. Am ashamed to say I didn't bring mine along despite being very close.
