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 today confirmed that the forthcoming Acura NSX hybrid supercar will be built at a brand-new facility in Ohio. This will be the company's third plant in Ohio, and will come as the result of a $70 million investment. Honda first hinted that NSX production would be coming to Ohio when the original concept car was revealed at the 2012 Detroit Auto Show.
Honda's new facility, called the Performance Manufacturing Center, will encompass a 184,000-square foot space inside of the automaker's former North American Logistics building and will employ 100 associates. As you might expect, the Performance Manufacturing Center is located just a few miles from Honda's American-based R&D facility, as well as the Marysville auto plant, where production of the 2014 Accord Hybrid will kick off this fall.
"The location of this facility is in the midst of one of the greatest collections of engineering and production talent in the world. So it makes sense that we will renew the dream and build this high-tech, supercar in Marysville, Ohio," said Hidenobu Iwata, president and CEO of Honda of America, in a press release.

Mariano Rivera, considered one of Major League Baseball's best relief and closing pitchers, bought an Acura when he debuted in the major leagues in 1995, and has owned nothing but Acuras since. So it was only natural for the New York Acura Dealers group to strike up a partnership. The fruits of the deal can be seen in the latest New York Acura commercial, called "Legends," which stars Rivera and Acuras new and old. It's narrated by actor Steve Schirripa, who played Bobby "Bacala" Baccalieri in HBO's The Sopranos.
"The spots are a nod to Acura's history and the years it overlapped with Mariano's career," says Scott Rodgers, chief creative officer at Tier10, the ad agency that developed the campaign's concept. With the "Legends" campaign, Rivera and the New York Acura Dealers continue a partnership that has provided $800,000 to the pitcher's charity, the Mariano Rivera Foundation.
The hardest part of the commercial was was finding the cars to star in it, according to Douglas Sonders, co-founder of 8112 Studios, the production company that shot the commercial. "Social media saved the day for us," he says. "After days of cold calls and e-mails to all of our contacts, we ended up sourcing everything we needed in 24 hours after asking our online contacts for assistance."

[00:02:00] [Ludacris Interview] And, if he could have any car today what would it be?
