I'm finally letting go of my GS-R.  It's a super fun yet efficient daily driver, and can also be a cheap track toy.  It's a modern classic for a reason.  I'm the second owner and have put about 92,000 miles on it.  Here's what you need to know:
  • Paint is old and the clear coat has peeled off of most of the top of the car, though I've covered the hood in matching black 3M vinyl.  Scratches, small dents, and a couple of small rust spots as expected on an 18 year old car, but it looks great from 20+ feet away, especially on its polished 16" Rota Slipstream wheels
  • Those wheels are wrapped in Dunlop Star Specs with good tread left.  The car also comes with it's original and rare 6 spoke 15" rims with center caps, which are wearing General Altimax Arctic snow tires (making it a beast in the white stuff).
  • Clear corner indicator lenses with amber bulbs.
  • Mechanically, it runs great even at over 230,000 miles, but it's a Honda, so of course it does.  The engine revs quickly to 8000rpm and sounds great through the cold air intake, Car Sound high-flow cat, Magnaflow cat-back exhaust, and DynoMax Super Turbo muffler, yet doesn't drone or attract too much unwanted attention.
  • 26-34 observed MPG.
  • Shifter is a joy, partially thanks to Redline MTL synthetic transmission fluid
  • AC needs servicing, not sure if it's just a recharge or something bigger.
  • Clean CARFAX.
  • Small oil leak, likely a notoriously lame stock cam seal, but I've only had to top it off recently, and not until roughly 1000 miles before it's scheduled to be changed (which has been about every 7000 miles, 7500 is the factory recommendation). Mobil 1 or similar Synthetic oil only.
  • New brake pads and rotors all around (Hawk HPS pads in front) and new calipers in back.
  • The interior has held up surprisingly well, particularly the black cloth seats and soft-touch dash. 
  • Everything works except for the trip computer (won't reset to zero) and the rear window washer (wiper is fine).
  • Double din Clarion head unit with CD player, Bluetooth, and USB/iPod input routed to the center armrest bin, plus Polk Audio component and coaxial speakers front and rear.  Power antenna mast works great.
  • 3M brushed titanium wrap on the center stack, looks good but not perfect.

Title is clear, in hand. I have full maintenance records for as long as I've owned it.  Notable recent services include:

  • Timing belt and water pump- 17k miles ago
  • Windshield - 5k miles ago
  • Brake pads and rotors all around, rear calipers - 2k miles ago
  • Battery - Last week

eBay Find of the Day: Ayrton Senna's 1993 Honda NSX

Fri, 09 Aug 2013

It's not often that things owned by the late Ayrton Senna come up for sale, but the seller of this black-on-black 1993 Honda NSX (aka, Acura NSX) eBay find claims it was once owned by the Formula One legend, and that he left a footprint on the factory carpet that can still be seen today. (Footprint, or vacuum lines?...)
NSX no. T000999 was given to Senna as a gift from his mentor and sponsor, Antonio de Almeida Braga, the seller claims, and it was stored at a palace near the Estoril F1 circuit in Portugal. He also was known to drive two other NSXs, a black one and a red one - the latter in which he was seen often.
The seller claims to have owned T000999, which is still in Portugal, for 17 years, and the 31,000-mile odometer indicates it was driven about 1,500 miles per year on average. Thankfully the car has been kept stock, so whoever buys it can enjoy driving it just as Senna did - that is, if the car actually is what it's claimed to be. If the story checks out, then this is one valuable NSX, which is reflected in the high minimum starting bid of 47,500 pounds ($73,620). There have been no bids at time of writing, but with nine days left in the auction, we'll be keeping our eyes on this one.

Acura RLX gets chassis upgrades, AcuraWatch for 2016

Thu, Mar 12 2015

As Acura's flagship sedan, it makes sense for the RLX be available with the brand's premiere technology. So for the 2016 model year, two trims of the luxury vehicle are getting the latest version of the AcuraWatch suite of safety tech. While the 310-horsepower, 3.5-liter V6 carries over, all trims of the 2016 RLX get an updated suspension tune with decreased spring rates and a less stiff rear stabilizer bar. The changes should provide a more plush, quieter ride inside. There's also a new color available called Acura Silver Metallic. When equipped with either Technology Package or the Advance Package, the 2016 RLX also gets a mix of cameras and radar to provide several safety luxuries that the brand wraps together as AcuraWatch. The system includes things like adaptive cruise control, collision mitigating braking and blind spot information. This improved version adds a Cross Traffic Monitor and Road Departure Mitigation. The latter aid watches the lines on the road to help keep the sedan in its lane. If RDM detects a possible accident, it can even provide steering and braking assistance. Furthermore, the Advance Package now receives Acura's Surround View Camera that places four cameras on the sedan to provide a 360-degree view when needed. The RLX's pricing remains the same from last year with the base version starting at $50,590, plus a $920 destination charge on all models. The Technology Package takes the price up to $54,450, and models with the Advance Package will run $60,450. 2016 Acura RLX Adds AcuraWatch™ and Other Enhancements to Elevate Premium Sophistication and Value AcuraWatch™ expands scope and content of safety and driver assistive technologies Chassis tuning enhances ride quality; 19-inch wheels with new bright finish standard on all trims Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price (MSRP) unchanged With the most comprehensive suite of safety and driver assistive technologies yet available on an Acura, the 2016 RLX luxury sedan goes on sale March 3 with manufacturer's suggested retail prices (MSRP) unchanged from the previous model year. This price hold represents a significant value, especially for the Technology package due to the addition of AcuraWatch™ and Advance package that includes the first U.S. application of Acura's Surround View Camera system3. Both RLX packages will also adopt the application of Road Departure Mitigation (RDM) and Cross Traffic Monitor.

2019 Acura NSX gets a refresh and an eye-catching new color

Fri, Aug 24 2018

After two model years and about 1,000 deliveries to the U.S., Acura's given the 2019 model a few enhancements and a small price bump. The car debuted at The Quail, A Motorsport Gathering, during the festivities surrounding Pebble Beach. While there are no major powertrain changes, some new color options and a few chassis refinements will be appreciated by NSX fans. Let's start with the hardware, since this is a sports car, after all. Most important, there's new all-season rubber, still Continental SportContacts but the next version thereof — the 6. Acura claims better handling in all conditions, and the way tire technology has been improving, we'd believe it. The optional Pirelli Trofeo Rs remain — and remain highly recommended for anyone looking to sample the NSX on track, which is an exhilarating experience. Acura says the rest of the enhancements we'll mention shaved a full two seconds off the car's time at Suzuka, so take that for what it's worth. They consist of a 26 percent stiffer front sway bar and 19 percent stiffer rear bar; 21 percent stiffer rear toe link bushings; a 6 percent stiffer rear hub; and a new software calibration for the computer controlled bits: the SH-AWD system, magnetorheological dampers, electric power steering, and stability control systems. For a car as precisely engineered as the NSX, these are relatively significant improvements. Don't necessarily expect it to shave two seconds off your personal best lap time, but if you're highly attuned to the chassis dynamics, the '19 NSX should offer more precise and direct feedback to the driver. No need to be precisely attuned to the cosmetic changes — they're pretty obvious. Thermal Orange, a new exterior color, and the chrome beak-ectomy (it's not body colored) crown the exterior changes. Inside, the leather/Alcantara combo seats are now available in blue, and the full leather seats can be had in red. While the price for the 2019 model has gone up by $1,500, Acura says that there's now $4,700 in formerly optional equipment (power seats, satnav, premium audio, parking sensors, and sport pedals) included as standard equipment. That sounds like a good deal to us. If you want one, the order books are open and cars will be delivered starting in October. Related Video:
