1991 Acura Nsx on 2040-cars
Westlake Village, California, United States
More infos regarding my car at: cassondracaarvizo@hammersfans.com .
A true no excuses, nearly perfect, garage queen NSX that has honestly seen rain ONE TIME in its 25 years (No BS), I
washed her IMMEDIATELY after! This car doesn't turn heads, it spins them. I've owned her for 19 years (since 6,000
miles), have all records since then (except for the timing belt/water pump roughly 20K and 10 years ago). Just
turned over 49K miles, but this car is always driven regularly, normally twice a month about 50 miles each time. It
has ALWAYS had mobil-1 Synthetic (including prior owner). Not a snap ring range car (tranny tag #J4A4-1001989). She
is amazing looking and I have all original parts (for what non-stock parts are on the car), including spare in
front plus tools / pump in trunk. I also have the entire full set of Acura Service manuals for the car. Non Stock
Parts: Finstar (Dali-Racing) catback exhaust (sounds amazing), Dali-Racing Billet coolant recovery tank, K&N filter
system, Eibach springs, Bilstein shocks, 2001 NSX rims - chromed, stoptech 2-piece front slotted rotors, stoptech
rear slotted rotors. Maintenance and other work performed: Timing belt and water Pump replacement (but a while
ago), A/C R134 conversion and evaparator replaced, both window regulators, CV boots, Bose Amp rebuilds, HVAC
control unit rebuild, as with all these cars the Stereo eventually self destructs (the capacitors leak acid inside
and ruin it), you cannot replace it but Williams Electronics has a great Clarion stereo conversion they install
INSIDE the original case (so it looks bone stock), you now have bluetooth connection and a better head unit, this
cost me $750 and was just done a few months ago, ALL FLUIDS were just replaced and the car fully serviced a couple
hundred miles ago, he also performed a "buyer's inspection" essentially, I can provide that. Same mechanic has
serviced the car since 2007 he knows the car and it's care well and invited interested parties to contact him for
his opinion. Clean Carfax (I can send you). ABS is not functioning (this is common and does not affect brake
functioning in the least). Front tires are about 50%, rears at wear bars (just). Note: when I say I have "all"
stock parts I mean EVERYTHING: rims, lug nuts, airbox, coolant recovery tank, springs, shocks, exhaust. So if you
are one of those who wants a "bone stock" car, this car can be that in one day's time. Nothing has been modified
that can't be undone with simple re-install of the stock part. For those of you who truly KNOW NSX's you understand
that while a great car, they have issues that affect all of them eventually, with the exception of the ABS (which
fails on all the early cars at some point), I'd like to think that I've already encountered and repaired all of
these "expected" issues. Consequently, you should consider this car to be very well "sorted" out for you. Also
don't lose sight of the fact that this car has been driven on average twice a month at a minimum it's entire
life...it's never been moth-balled away for long periods of time which is a BAD thing for seals, gaskets, etc. Car
is available for viewing upon appointment locally (San Diego). Also included: the Original NSX Design book that was
given to each new owner with the car, it's the metal faced book in the image....very nice, has information about
the design, specs, etc, great photography. Also included is an original Honda NSX brochure (it's written in
japanese, except for the cover: "our dreams come true"), plus the original official NSX Accessories brochure.
Included in this image I have ALL the keys for the car, including the valet key. Another image shows you the 3
volume maintenance manuals, plus ALL the receipts for the car...remember I have owned it since 6,000 miles so it
covers everything since then. Of course I have the original leather bound owners manual that fits in the glove box.
I've also included two images in the trunk, one showing the complete roadside maintenance kit. the other the carpet
pad for the trunk. ALL carpet mats (floor and trunk), are ORIGINAL and in excellent condition, affirming the kind
of care the car's had from day one. I've added a front bonnet image, shows the original space saver tire. Lastly, I
added an image of the dash with the radio illuminated, as you can see the radio unit looks stock, it's just the
guts that are different. NOTE also in some of the images you see a non-stock shifter knob, I've reinstalled the
stock one (see the stereo image).

Hurricane Sandy cost automakers 15,000 vehicles, may have ruined up to 200k
Wed, 07 Nov 2012Hurricane Sandy was the largest Atlantic storm in US history, and its total economic impact is just now coming into view. According to Automotive News, Toyota, Chrysler, Nissan and Honda are set to scrap around 15,000 new vehicles ruined by the storm. Nissan alone accounts for about 40 percent of those, with 6,000 Nissan and Infiniti models deeded "un-saleable" due to damage. The company saw 56 dealerships shuttered due to the storm, but 51 of those have since reopened.
Toyota, meanwhile, had some 4,000 vehicles at its Newark port facility, and of those, 3,000 may be scrapped. An additional 825 were dealer inventory when they were ruined. Honda and Acura dealers are reportedly sending 3,440 vehicles to the salvage yard. By comparison, Chrysler weathered the storm fairly well with 825 units destroyed, while Hyundai suffered only 400 lost units and Kia scrapped around 200.
As you may recall, Fisker also suffered some losses, and Automotive News reports the manufacturer saw 320 Karma models damaged beyond repair. Ford and General Motors have yet to come up with estimates, and no automaker has commented on the full cost of replacing the vehicles.
2014 Acura RLX
Tue, 19 Nov 2013Earlier in the year, I reviewed a powder-blue Volkswagen Beetle Convertible, and I witnessed a group of high-school-aged girls ogling the car as it sat in my driveway. In my head, I found it to be a funny-yet-fitting scene that I didn't think of again until a 2014 Acura RLX showed up in my driveway. This time around, an elderly neighborhood couple stopped to give the big Acura sedan a closer look. The RLX is trying to shed past stereotypes of its predecessor, the Acura RL, just like the Beetle. Hoping to avoid becoming the de facto "grandpa car," Acura has completely reworked - and renamed - its flagship sedan.
As the bookend to the new entry-level ILX, the addition of the 2014 RLX might give Acura its strongest sedan lineup ever as the automaker looks to break the cycle of being a middle-of-the-road luxury brand. Stepping up to the big-boy table isn't going to be easy, though, as the competition keeps getting tougher. Forget cars like the Mercedes E-Class and BMW 5 Series, the Acura RLX is going to have its hands full with the likes of the Cadillac XTS, Lexus GS and Hyundai Genesis, not to mention a strong consortium of lower-priced, mid-luxury sedans like the Hyundai Azera, Toyota Avalon and Chevy Impala. The one thing all of these cars have in common is a reputation for being an old man cruiser.
I spent a week with the new RLX to see if it could shake the stigma of its outdated predecessor or if it would just leave me searching for the nearest early bird specials.
Acura TL bursts into flames moments before being traded in at Ontario dealership [UPDATE]
Fri, 21 Dec 2012Watching your car burst into flames before your eyes is never good news, and it's even worse when you're mere moments away from trading it in at the local dealership. This Car-B-Q blaze apparently erupted at Acura 2000, a dealer in Brampton, Ontario. As the video tells us, the unlucky customer saw his 2004-2008 Acura TL trade-in suddenly catch fire and go up in resale-value-killing smoke.
According to the hyped-up cameraman (who evidently works next door at Northwest Lexus) and his eccentric play-by-play commentary, this Acura owner is about to be left without a ride home and might want to consider switching to a Lexus instead.
Scroll down to watch video of the drama unfolding as fire fighters put out the mysterious blaze before anyone - except the car - was harmed.
