Hello car enthusiasts!  Let me start by saying, I love the NSX and I love THIS NSX!  It was my childhood dream car, and I have since been fortunate enough to own 3 of them : )  I strayed along the way, with a classic e30 M3 and a 911 C2, my other two childhood dream cars.  Neither of those cars offered the same reliability, affordability, exotic looks and "visceral" sports car feel- in other words the NSX is my grail!  


Fast forward 16 years since my first NSX, it's been a remarkable run for both the NSX and my ownership experience- how many people own the same car (model) for that long?!  That alone speaks volumes...But alas, I'm a relatively old fart now, priorities change, tastes change.  Today I'm a family man;  not the adrenaline-fueled, twenty-something bachelor I once was. I just bought a Grand Cherokee and I have a company car on top- so the the extra cash would be nice.  This is the only reason for this sale.  Now onto the details of this phenomenal car!

HISTORY/ CONDITION:  

This NSX has been owned by a technology icon and then 3 anal retentive NSX enthusiasts & club members.  It was first purchased by Steve Wozniak, that's right, Apple co-founder "The Woz"!  I have service records dating back to his ownership, from the original dealership- Los Gatos Acura, CA, the next two owners, to present (I'm the fourth).  

This NSX is a reasonably low mileage driver's car.  These cars are meant to be driven, and although it is not daily driven, it is not a garage queen.  It is a used car, it is NOT immaculate, but it is excellent condition.  If you are looking for an all original, rarely driven, flawless garage queen- this is not the NSX for you.  If you want an NSX that you won't hesitate to drive or park;  an example that has been loved, well-maintained, documented, sorted & tastefully modified by enthusiasts- look no further!!!  Sometime during the second ownership, the NSX was in a minor fender bender (side-swiped, no frame damage), affected panels replaced, multi-stage repaint.  The rest of the car was wet-sanded, buffed & clear-coated.  All work done by a reputable shop.  The third owner lived in Boston and during his tenure, both front & rear bumpers had minor damage (did not warrant replacement) from parallel parking in the city- both bumpers have since been repaired & repainted.   

As she sits today, there is one paint chip the size of a pencil eraser and there is inevitable curb rash on the front lip spoiler from when I pulled up too close to the curb while parking. You can either remove the spoiler and have it resprayed off the car, or take it to a detail shop that does airbrush touch-ups w/o having to remove spoiler (I've done this before, it's less than a $200 job).  Overall, the paint looks uniform, fresh, wet and new.  There are no dents and I haven't spotted any dings.  Cosmetically, I would rate the exterior 8.9/10.  The interior is very clean and in excellent condition for a car of its age.  There is minor imperfection on the driver's side arm rest trim- just slight wrinkling of the metallic finish near the edge.  There is minor wear at the driver's side seat bolster, but overall condition is above average. I would also rate the interior 8.9/10.  This NSX has been garaged its entire life and it shows.  For all intents & purposes, most admirers think it's a new car- I get thumbs ups, cell phone pics taken, and compliments all day long.  The CARFAX is clean.  I have title in hand.  You will not be disappointed!

MECHANICALS:

First off, everything works EXCEPT the ABS pump recently went out, which is not uncommon for older NSX's.  The only thing the driver will notice is the ABS indicator light will come & stay on while driving. The brakes are otherwise functional under everyday driving/ braking conditions.  Some track drivers will actually delete the ABS system and Dali Racing sells the kit to do so.  I have been comfortable driving it, so I'm leaving it as-is.  My asking price reflects this.  I have maintenance records since day one.  

Last fall, all fluids were changed (it's been driven less than 200 miles since):  DOT3 brake flush, oem transmission flush, oem coolant flush, air filter cleaned & BG44 added.  Mobil 1 oil changes.  Emissions & safety inspections current.  The next preventive maintenance procedure will be the timing belt & water pump, which should be done at 90K, she currently has 77.5K on the clock.  This NSX starts right up, drives solid, true, pulls hard, no clutch slippage, no leaks etc...This NSX is not in snap ring range.  She is ready to drive until the 90K service mentioned above.  

MODS:

This NSX has tasteful, cosmetic & performance mods.  My goal was to slightly modernized her, while retaining its "old school" roots.  Everything has been installed professionally, with careful attention to detail & retaining a factory OEM appearance.  Buyer will also receive an uninstalled amp & custom NSX specific subwoofer (designed to go into the passenger-side footwell).  The current set-up w/o these components sounds nice.  Frankly, I prefer tuning into the sounds of the wailing VTEC at WOT thru the upgraded performance headers, exhaust, cold air intake behind my ears ; )  It's an exhilarating sound!!! The MODS:

COSMETIC:
- full Wings West aero kit.  Professionally fitted.  Modernizes the lines of the NSX, while retaining an "old school" vibe.  The side skirts have been reinforced, as the polyurethane was prone to "sagging".

- Honda S2000 fixed antenna

Honda, Acura recall Ridgeline, Accord, MDX, TLX for various fuel pump issues

Fri, Feb 15 2019

Honda and Acura have issued two separate fuel pump-related recalls for Ridgeline pickups, as well as Accord and TLX sedans, and MDX SUVs. Affected Ridgelines could have an increased risk of fire, while the Accord, TLX, and MDX could potentially stall out while driving. According to NHTSA campaign No. 19V053000, Honda is recalling 106,683 2017-2019 Ridgelines because the fuel pump feed port could crack when exposed to certain acids, including car wash soaps. If it cracks, it could leak pressurized fuel, which could catch fire. Vehicles with this defect are subject to a free fuel pump replacement, as well as an extra fuel pump cover. The second recall, campaign No. 19V060000, affects 437,032 2016-2018 MDX, 2015-2019 TLX, and 2015-2017 Accord models equipped with 3.5-liter V6 engines. According to Honda, fuel particulates could stick to internal components of the fuel pump. This could potentially slow down the fuel pump and hinder performance, which could cause the engine to sputter and stall. Honda dealers will update the fuel injection engine control unit software and/or replace the fuel pump, if needed. If you want to know if your vehicle is included in one of these recalls, contact your Honda or Acura dealer, call the NHTSA hotline at 1-888-327-4236, or visit safecar.gov. Related Video:

2024 Acura ZDX caught in spy photos

Mon, Oct 10 2022

We've got our first look at the 2024 Acura ZDX electric luxury SUV. And as we expected, it's not following in the funky coupe-like tire tracks of its namesake. Instead, it's clearly based on the recently shown Acura Precision EV concept, albeit clearly toned down. The overall profile is pretty conventional, with a relatively upright rear hatchback. But the ZDX does still look fairly sleek with its low roof and quite long nose. And on the topic of that roof, it has the partial floating design previewed on the Precision. The ZDX's nose looks much more blunt compared to the Precision EV, which we don't think is a bad thing, as the Precision was a bit beak-y. And at the back, the rear fenders look more pronounced and the window-sill area is also pushed out further. Again, these don't seem like bad changes to us. Like the Honda Prologue, the ZDX will be based on a GM Ultium platform, likely the version underpinning the Chevy Blazer and Cadillac Lyriq. There's a wide array of motor configurations that could be offered on the ZDX. Since there will be a Type S version, we could see that one getting the Blazer EV SS's 557-horsepower dual-motor all-wheel-drive powertrain. It's hard to say if other versions will be all-wheel-drive-only, or have rear-wheel-drive or front-wheel-drive versions, since all are possible. We should know more when the SUV makes its debut in 2024. Related video:

Comma.ai makes your car semi-autonomous for $999

Wed, Sep 14 2016

At TechCrunch's Disrupt conference in San Francisco, Comma.ai founder George "Geohot" Hotz announced the launch of the Comma One semi-autonomous driving device. Hotz said at the conference that his company has worked on the Comma One for about a year, and it will be available at the end of the year for $999 and a $24 per month subscription fee. But aside from the reasonable price, which TechCrunch points out is possible thanks to off-the-shelf components, the appeal here is that it's an add-on to an existing car that can be installed at home by the car's owner. This gives people with normal cars the opportunity to have semi-autonomous features without having to buy an entire vehicle... that is, if you have a Honda or Acura with lane-keeping assist, since Comma One is currently only compatible with those vehicles. It remains to be seen if the company will add more vehicles to the list over time. The device is roughly the size of a large cell phone or aftermarket navigation system, and it has a screen on the front and a pair of cameras on the back. The computer combines information from the device's cameras and the car's radar sensors to understand what's happening and how to respond. Hotz explained at the conference that this system is similar in capability to the Tesla Autopilot system, and will be able to complete a drive, start to finish, without the driver having to touch anything. He did however emphasize that the driver must still pay attention in the event something goes wrong, comparing the experience to watching a young student driver. Hotz told TechCrunch that the device should start shipping at the end of the year. He also said that owners of compatible Honda products in the San Francisco area are eligible for beta testing, and can get involved by emailing him at george@comma.ai. So if you've been pining for a semi-autonomous vehicle of your own, but couldn't spring for a Tesla, you won't have to wait much longer. We should point out that we don't know yet how well the system works, though we hope to find out soon. Related Video:
