1991 Acura Nsx - 38,440 Miles on 2040-cars
Nashville, Tennessee, United States
History of my NSX: I originally purchased the car in 1996, and it had 14,055 miles on it at the time. It currently has 38,440 miles. In my years of ownership, the car has never been in the rain. I put it on jack stands or on a lift every year and completely detail the chassis. It truly is one of the nicest early hardtop NSX's in the country.
Paperwork and Service Records: I have all the paperwork for the car back to when it was sold new, including the window sticker, the drive out temporary tag, and every service record and receipt since 1991. They are all housed in a three ring binder in laminated sheets. Recent maintenance in the past 1000 miles includes the following: -Synthetic oil changes (two times) -Flushed the brake system and replaced the fluid with ATE Super Blue DOT4 -Replaced the timing belt, water pump, all accessory belts, valve cover gaskets, spark plug seals, oil cooler hoses and all 22 coolant hoses -During the timing belt service, it was noticed that the clutch master cylinder and clutch slave cylinder were slightly leaking, so they were both replaced. -Valves adjusted The NSX tech who has worked on my car since 2001 is Barney Demonbreun (aka Barnman on NSX Prime). He is considered by many as one of the top NSX technicians in the country.
Modifications: The OEM exhaust has been changed to a Taitec GT Lightweight exhaust, which has a fabulous deep sound to it . The wheels have been replaced with a set of staggered Enkei PF01's (17" front and 18" rear) and they have a set of Goodyear Eagle F1 GSD3 tires on them (approx. 9/32" tread depth remaining). The shocks have been replaced with Bilsteins, and have been set on the lower perch, which lowers the car approx. 1 inch. In addition, my car has a reusable Uni foam air filter rather than a stock paper filter. I have the original exhaust, original wheels and original shocks, and they also go with the car. In addition to the original parts I've just outlined, I have the original factory NSX car cover and storage bag, as well as an NSX front nose bra that's been used just one time.
If you are looking for a pristine, low mileage, fanatically maintained, never abused NSX, you won't finder one nicer anywhere. I've owned 108 weekend "toys" like my NSX over the 27 years of my marriage. I have done frame off restorations on a number of '60's and early '70's muscle cars to national award winning levels. My NSX is every bit as nice as those fully restored show cars I've owned.

Acura preps ILX for endurance racing challenge
Thu, 01 Nov 2012Acura has used the occasion of this year's SEMA show to unveil a 2013 ILX that is remarkably different from the road-going car that we are familiar with. A far distance from the rather mildly performing street car, this ILX Endurance Racer is actually prepped to race at the grueling 25 Hours of Thunderhill in Willows, California.
The ILX racers (Team Honda Research has prepped two of them for the race) have actually each been constructed using two donor ILX sedans: one body-in-white chassis and one full production-spec car that donates powertrain, interior and electronic components. Overall, increasing the performance of the car was done mostly through extensive weight reduction rather than bumps in power. No figures have been given for the output of the ILX's K24Z7 engine, though we are told that a custom intake and exhaust have been fitted, as well as a racing flywheel.
A prominent LED lighting system dominates the front fascia of the ILX, along with a huge front splitter, while a massive wing speaks to the intentions of the car.
2013 Acura ILX 2.4
Thu, 17 Jan 2013Going Mainstream Has Its Privileges
Acura's experiment with niche models has failed. Competing in the luxury car business by filling white space with product just didn't work for the Japanese automaker. In place of slow-selling models like its ZDX and quirky first-gen RDX, the mindset at Acura has recently switched to more conventional products with vastly improved volume potential. The redesigned 2013 RDX, for example, sold almost as many units in 2012 as it did in 2010 and 2011 combined, and the all-new 2013 ILX has sold more units each month - since going on sale in May - than Acura sold in ZDXs and RLs in all of last year.
While the redesigned RDX is a crucial product to compete with luxury compact crossovers, the ILX might be the most important new product for Acura, as a growing number of premium makes are starting to realize the importance of upscale entry-level compact cars. Ironically, this segment was a pivotal part of the brand's success in the 1980s and '90s thanks to the Integra, but Acura completely abandoned the genre when it killed off the RSX coupe in 2006. The addition of the ILX not only gives Acura a competitive small car again, it also drops the brand's entry price by almost $5,000.
How Seinfeld hopes he'll help industry make better car commercials [w/video]
Fri, 04 Oct 2013Bloomberg has a fascinating look into a web series that continues to be a favorite around the Autoblog offices - Jerry Seinfeld's Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee. The series, which is in its second season, sees the affable comedian picking up fellow comedians in a range of interesting cars, and having conversations with them over the drive and a cup of joe.
The piece by Bloomberg dives into the development of the series, as well as Seinfeld's tie-up with Acura, which saw the Honda-owned brand begin sponsorship this season. That relationship started not with his web series, though, but with a Super Bowl ad, alongside fellow funnyman and car enthusiast Jay Leno, that saw them competing over a new Acura NSX. Have a click over to Bloomberg for an entertaining piece that looks beyond the YouTube series. We've also wrangled Seinfeld's original Super Bowl ad for the Acura NSX, which you can see below.
