    Manual transmission fluid for a 91

    Couldn’t find a “data sheet” for Honda‘s MTF-3 but at least a safety data sheet (mixture etc etc), which tells experts more than just a simple “data sheet”, I think: https://www.intercars24.ee/files/getfile/file=MDE5OTMxXDA4MjY3OTk5MGhlXzA4MjY3OTk5MjBoZV8gZW4ucGRm Product code: 0826799902HE...

    NSX Video findings

    In memoriam: Ayrton Senna described by his sister Viviane … Anyway, there is NO DOUBT – besides pro-drivers like Motoharu Kurosawa (cool dude too!) and a few others (Nakajima, Rahal etc), SENNA was definitely THE right man who had the balls to tell the development team what’s right (e.g. "The...

    Thanks for your hint – but “Honda’s Ugly Little Secret“ (the Honda Scandal) in the 70s, 80s and early 90s … https://www.nytimes.com/1993/05/02/business/honda-s-ugly-little-secret.html …has nothing to do with problem #1 (The Bubble Burst) and problem #2 (multiple allocations to same customer)...

    Technical development retrospective video (savagegeese)

    Thank you Honcho! The chapter title in the video is “The Bubble Burst“ and the guy in the video basically talks about (pretty fast – imho) the global economy in the early 90s. Sure, not only had the Gulf War broken out in 1990, but there was an economic recession in the United States, and the...

    Technical development retrospective video (savagegeese)

    Transcript: “During initial launch, the NSX ordering-system was not electronic, relied on a long people trail. So, the factory ramped up production only to ??? the orders in Japan, has been duplicated, the ??? was [in fact] lower than expected.” Anyways, what exactly does it mean? Does it mean...

    Post your most recent picture of your NSX...

    Hi Sandro, as far as I remember, astonished I told you just one word on this day: BEAUTIFUL … BTW: 234 - nice VIN! Senna’s still existing red NSX is 233 (both cars are model year 1991).

    NSX Video findings

    Hong Kong seems indeed to be an interesting location for car enthusiasts. On the other hand, it seems you can find lots of abandoned (sports) cars in HK – even an intact NSX chassis on top of a container in the outskirts of HK … lol

    Switzerland: Where are the Swiss NSX owners?

    btw - I know exactly what you mean … It appears that contrary to US/Canadian ACURA-NSXs, for 1998 as well as 1999 model year HONDA-NSXs (NSXs built for European countries with EU Specs) there are no supplements to already existing service manuals available (in German: keine...

    Switzerland: Where are the Swiss NSX owners?

    I have no doubts – Honda built especially your car (due to the low serial no 2) in autumn 1998, but it’s a 1999 model (X). The production for every new model year starts always in the previous year; mostly in late summer/autumn. From all different sources I’m aware of – no real changes for 1998...

    Switzerland: Where are the Swiss NSX owners?

    Wow – your NSX is definitely model year 1999 („X“) – extremely rare in Europe! This NSX (JHMNA1270XT000005, black, NSX-T, 4-speed AT F-Matic, C30A engine) in GB/UK … https://plans.smugmug.com/N5-XTF … is, in fact, the only 1999 model I could find so far in Europe at all! Btw – „W“= 1998...

    Switzerland: Where are the Swiss NSX owners?

    @Micha – thank you! Unfortunately, just „T200009“ (serial no from the door sill plate) doesn’t help for the list – and here is why: Since model year 1998 (actually since model year 1997 due to the new C32B engine), the door sill plate doesn’t tell you the model YEAR anymore. Everything you...

    Switzerland: Where are the Swiss NSX owners?

    In fact, for any year – and here is why: As you can see, there is no significant difference between FACT (1952 cars) & FICTION (2255 cars). So I think the truth is somewhere in between: Honda produced between 1990 and 2005 around 2100 NSXs with EUROPEAN Specs and „brand marked“ these 2100...

    Switzerland: Where are the Swiss NSX owners?

    ABSOLUTELY – thank you! Your 1st Reg. Date is pretty interesting – so far THE earliest one I’m aware of in Europe. Btw – I’m also searching for THE highest NSX-VINs (`91 model) in European countries … >>>> JHMNA11500T000987 DE|MT-Rot - EZ 01/'92 JHMNA11500T000999 GB|MT-Schwarz - EZ 06/'92...
