Nice, lucky they didn't chuck you out for using your phone, last mot they got really upset at me just sending text, never mind taking a photo.

A new addition to the number of genuine NSX-R parts being added to my car. This time it's the NA1 NSX-R centre tail light piece imported from Japan. As you can imagine it was not cheap for such a minimal change. Its different in that it has the H logo in black! Yes that is it :grinning: With the refreshed tail lights purchased last year, this is the full light cluster completed. Excuse the crappy pic but you get the idea.

Prior to MOT I got a full geometry and suspension set up including corner weight set up and adjustment carried out by Pat @ http://www.mcbennettmotorsport.com. Pat was highly recommended to me and I have to say it was money well spent and he is a top guy.

This was needed due to the wheel change carried out last year and the coilovers needed to be raised to compensate for the new wheel size. Since the set up the car feels a lot more planted, steering is more responsive and the ability to corner has been greatly enhanced (not that it was bad in the 1st place!).

A few recent pics of car taken by a friend (suspension set up complete) as of start of week. Will get more pics up over the course of updating this thread as a few more bits n bobs have been done to the car.

they would be very subtle in standard guise and to be honest quite refined. so it is highly likely the cars you have seen have been modified in some way. there is a big range of exhaust systems available in the US and also in the US they are keen on super and turbo charging NSX's now

Seen three of these this week in florida . The sound of them is unreal

Just a quick post; made the trip over to the NSX club Europe meet. This is day one of our weekend activities.
Tour of the Hockenheim circuit and an arranged group photo. And yes you are not seeing things ... 30+ NSX's in one place at the same time.

Will update the thread in due course

Now to get some German food and beer ...
