Reluctantly selling my gorgeous '91 NSX in very nice condition with original paint. For those of you in the know, this is the first year of production and this vehicle is outside the snap ring range. I acquired this car about 4 years ago with 90K miles, after having owned a Ferrari 308, Mercedes SLK, etc. Since it's previous service history was unknown, I immediately had a full engine-out service done, including new water pump, belts, seals, etc. A couple of years ago, I had it at an Acura dealer and they noted that there was an active service recall for the cooling system, so again it had a new water pump, plus several hoses, coolant tubes, et al. It's also received new rear brake pads, a clutch servo hose, air conditioning recharge and other minor items. As a weekend pleasure car, the mileage is now just over 100K.

The car is nearly stock, with a few modifications. There is some sort of racing clutch in it, very stiff to operate, but it does not slip. The interior was redone at some point in red and black and is in excellent shape with the exception of the driver's side outside bolster, which is starting to crack. There is a red/black MOMO gearshift knob, and I have had the factory cellphone removed from the center console and replaced with a US Spec ipod interface connected to the stock Bose sound system. This also necessitated the removal of the 6-disc CD changer from the trunk, which yields more luggage space. All of these removed pieces, including the intact wiring harnesses are included with the car.

When I got the car, it was lowered with 18 and 19 inch TSW Kyalami wheels and ultra low profile tires. They looked great, but the car was way too low for practical city roads and potholes, so I swapped it out for stock springs. I added new General UHP rubber in the rears and ran this setup until last year when potholes finally took their toll. The right front wheel lost its center hub and the wheel rim was dented. Even though it still held air and ran true, I didn't feel confident, so I now have a set of near mint stock NSX wheels, in 15's and 16's with Falken Azeni's. This setup handles almost as well as the aftermarket wheels and is much more practical. The rears will need replacement soon. The aftermarket wheels/tires are also included and could be remounted if desired.

This has been my dream car and I have really enjoyed it, but the time has come to sell. I now am developing a vineyard and winery in the Sierra foothills and need a more practical car for my frequent commutes when I don't take the truck.

If you're looking for a well-sorted, very clean and stock NSX, you won't find a nicer one at this price. Just passed smog and California registration renewed to March, 2015. Serious inquiries only. You've got to have the money as it would be difficult to finance a car like this. Cheers

Acura teases 17 seconds of the NSX on Vine and Instagram

Tue, 30 Jul 2013

Acura won't roll out the prototype NSX until August 4 when it shows up at Mid-Ohio Raceway for the Honda 200 IndyCar race, and the genuine production car isn't scheduled to arrive until 2015. Acura will, though, make the car a Vine and Instagram video star with snippets of the mid-engined roarer lapping the test track in both the dry and the wet.
After unleashing a six-second loop on Twitter's video service yesterday, it gave fans a bit more by uploading a nine-second clip on Instagram of the coupe throwing up rooster tails and sliding around bends. Best of all is the sound - it's like no Acura you've ever heard outside of a race track. You can check out both videos below.

2021 Acura TLX Type S First Drive Review | Adapting to a changed world

Thu, May 20 2021

SALINAS, Calif. — A lot has changed since Acura offered its last Type S model over a decade ago. Tesla's EVs have plundered a sizable chunk of market share, Korean manufacturers have stormed the near-luxury and luxury segments, and Acura, in an effort to restore the luster of their once-revered nameplate, rebooted the legendary NSX as a hybrid-powered supercar halo with the hopes that desirability (and some hardware) will trickle down into the rest of the lineup.Â That last part is key to understanding the mission of the new 2021 Acura TLX Type S. Though the premium sport sedan segment isnÂ’t necessarily hotly contested, the Type S still plays a critical role in bolstering the brandÂ’s credibility. Positioned as a step above the turbo four-cylinder-powered TLX ($39,500) and the better-equipped TLX A-Spec ($45,500), the TLX Type S starts at $53,325 and packs a number of performance upgrades that make it high-performance capable. Just don't expect it to be as track-worthy as a Honda Civic Type R. The Type S is built on AcuraÂ’s stiffest sedan chassis to date. Packing an all-new twin-scroll turbo 3.0-liter V6 under its flared hood, the Type S makes 355 horsepower and 354 pound-feet of torque. Despite gains of 83 hp and 74 lb-ft, combined fuel economy drops only 3 points to 21 mpg with the hotrod V6. Aiding the cause is a cylinder deactivation system and active vibration control to mask the transition between six and three cylinders.Â Chassis updates include extra bracing for a 13% stiffer body, 40% stiffer front springs, thicker stabilizer bars, more aggressive shock valving, retuned steering, and larger four-piston Brembo brakes. Standard 20-inch wheels and tires are the largest yet for TLX, and Pirelli P Zero summer tires are available with an NSX-inspired design. Tying it all together are drive modes with a new Sport+ setup: Turn and hold the centrally positioned mode selector for 1 second, and throttle response, shifting, exhaust valve, steering effort, damping, torque vectoring, and even interior lighting take on a more aggressive calibration. To showcase these enhancements, Acura held the Type S first drive at WeatherTech Raceway Laguna Seca, hauling up a few historic vehicles for good measure including a first-gen NSX and a Honda S2000 CR. Old school Type S specimens included a 2001 CL, 2007 TL, and a 2007 RSX.

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 aÂ 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:
