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 to compete in seven Pike's Peak classes in 2014

Mon, 28 Apr 2014

The Pikes Peak International Hill Climb is one of the greatest events on the international motorsports calendar. Its Unlimited class harkens back to the old days of racing, when teams built vehicles to be the fastest with whatever they had. Honda is returning to the event for 2014 for its second year as a sponsor and participant, and it's bringing some cool machines of its own.
The company is fielding seven entrants this year, which is somewhat smaller than last year. In 2013, it brought 11 factory-supported vehicles in 10 classes, including an insane Honda Odyssey with a 532-horsepower turbocharged V6 engine. There's no need to be too disappointed by the shorter list, though. Former 24 Hours of Le Mans-winner Romain Dumas is back piloting a Honda-powered Norma chassis up the hill in the Unlimited class. Dumas attempted to race the car last year, but it broke down during his run. Other competitors include an NSX (pictured above), Fit B-Spec and an S3700, which is an S2000 with a 3.7-liter V6 engine.
In its role as sponsor, Honda says it has also worked with the sanctioning body to add an AirFence safety barrier along some corners for the motorcycle and ATV riders. This year's Pikes Peak is being held on Sunday, June 29. Scroll down to read the full details about Honda's team and start getting excited for this year's running.

Season 9 of Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee teases us with BMWs and Volvos

Thu, Dec 22 2016

Jerry Seinfeld's successful online show Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee is heading into its ninth season, returning January 5th. It should be no surprise that the list of actors and comedians is impressive, with Kristen Wiig, Christoph Waltz, and more making appearances. Seinfeld has lined up an equally impressive list of cars for the new season. Porsche, BMW, and Volvo all have beautiful machines lined up to shuttle Seinfeld and his guest to different coffee shops. As always, it's a mix of light humor packed into a relatively short and, most importantly, free video. Catch up on the previous eight seasons now on Crackle.

Singer Porsche, Koenigsegg, NSX: Leno's life doesn't suck

Tue, Oct 6 2015

Jay Leno had quite a productive trip this year during Monterey Car Week. Not only did he get to pal around with Ian Callum and check out the Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance, but the denim-clad comedian also headed to The Quail to talk to some prominent figures in the modern sports car scene. Capping off the fun, he got to take a drive in a Mercedes-AMG GT S, too Perhaps the highlight of this show is a nearly 10-minute interview with Christian von Koenigsegg. The founder of the Swedish hypercar company digs deep into the Agera One:1's engineering details, relating interesting facts about the aerodynamics and transmission. In addition, Leno chats with Rob Dickenson of Singer about its newly reimagined Porsche 911 Targa, and he gets the latest scoop on the Acura NSX's progress from newly promoted Acura Vice President and General Manager Jon Ikeda. If you like hearing about the nuts and bolts of sports car development, then this video can't be missed. Of course, we were there at Monterey, too, and we pointed our own cameras at some of the amazing machinery, both vintage and modern, at all the various car-focused events of the week. Take a look back at some of our own cool footage in the videos below. Related Video:
