Just got a copy, an absolute must read and sorry for the delay in me getting a copy. Three things so far I found interesting!

1. Did you know theres gold in every NSX! The SRS is equipped with gold plated electrical connectors!

2. New R8 ad from Audi pinched our the NSX production idea? Quote " It is only fitting that our quickest car be built on our slowest assembly line"

3. States 1997+ 3.2 has 280 bhp DIN in Europe (UK 276 bhp?) and 290 bhp for the US market? HUK always claimed 276 (Japanese car maker's gentleman's agreement max limit), but I thought its 290BHP unofficially in UK?

So many interesting things still waiting to be read! :)

Great book I bought it as soon as I saw a copy and did not even mind paying full price!

The Brooklands one is not too bad either.

Cheers,

It is an excellent book - well worth the money (though a quick look around Amazon traders usually reveals heafty discounts on this!)

On Ebay it listed at £49.99! (with free delivery) :eek: But on Amazon, got my copy for a princely sum of £20 squids plus £2.75 p&p !! An absolute bargain if you asked me! :)

Before I purchased my NSX I brought a copy Brooklands book " Acura-Honda NSX Performance Portfolio 1989-1999" and that was enough to make me go out and hunt one down, which took best part of nearly 8 months! :) As they all say that was history!
