Thanks VTECMattC - do you think the trimmer will be able to undertake seat repairs including sourcing new seat parts rather than a simple case of adding new "surface" material?

I've noticed that the right-hand driver's side bolster (rigid foam?) on the seat upright has effectively become detached from the frame and digs into my side when I'm seated in the car. I'm assuming this has been a gradual degradation with me getting in and out of the car over time. I was...

Do you think they've definitely fixed the overheating issues? 10 degrees doesn't sound like much.

A cold Bedford today and its amazing how much quicker the car was (in a straight line) compared to when I was there in the summer. I hit 137mph on the long straight and power stayed consistent for lap after lap. In the summer after a couple of laps the car wouldn't hit 130mph. That's a big...

I wasn't aware of that. Certainly on the old gen NSX the air con didn't appear to disengage "With air conditioning running: Max hp = 221.1, Max Torque = 172. The curve looks exactly the same except the line shift down to the right. The 10HP power loss is not bad at all."...

My german is marginal but I think he comments on the air con not blowing cold on track towards the end of the vid https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nyQvVaoE_Uc

Found this related video - 8:50 - fixed cooling issues apparently. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YMxvEK4T8cA

Heat issues? 4 seconds slower than previous lap. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ATWBV-WMTQI

That is not bad. I recall an NSX wing is circa £3k :eek:

Thanks. When my gauge gets near the top I usually come off the track as performance has degraded a fair amount. I prefer colder track days out of peak season anyway, but it bugs me that the car isn't really designed for track work :D

Out of interest how long did it take after the temperature gauge was pegged for the coolant light to come on? I think the car is OK in 15 degrees or less with air con off - any more than that and I think it struggles

Thanks, will take a look.

Is there a downside to using DS2500?

Interesting re the Contis. When I was at Bedford I pumped them up (when cold) to the high speed setting (as identified on the driver's door). Was way too high. I now have them set at normal pressures and they've been fine. Yes, think my front disks have a lot of ad material on them - getting...

Yes, think I have done that but rear pads are still getting eaten at twice the speed of the fronts. Maybe that's normal.
