what's the official name of the fixed-headlight 02+ NSX?

[Webby]

Is there an official name for it like "NSX II" or something? Sorry for the noob question. Wikipedia seems to like to call it the "NSX Refresh" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Honda_NSX

Na2

NA2 means 3.2L engine (manual transmission only), so that includes 1997-2005 model years:

I refer to the 02-05 models as "NA2 fixed headlights".

[Webby]

Thanks - cool, I didn't realize there was a Wiki.

I just call them 02+. I guess Refresh would be a more correct an acceptable term though.

Me too.

Webby,

NA1 and NA2 refer to engine codes. Mine is a NA1 (3.0L). Phoen$x has a NA2 (or two) (3.2L). However, a 1999 & a 2004 automatic are NA1 cars (as are all automatics since they all have the 3.0L in them).

I think the majority of us just refer to them as 02+.

How is that Viper treating you?

I dropped my car off at Woodfield today. I'm thinking I'll pick it up Thursday or Friday morning. You free for a coffee or something?

Yes, you can use "bugeye" and "dated" for fixed and pop-ups.

[FuryNSX]

I also refer to them as "02+" as well.

I tend to not used the term "refresh", so as not to cause confusion with the Honda Refurbishing Program.

NSX-3000gt

[PHOEN$X]

NSX-3000gt

But the 3000gt also came in pop-up and fixed versions.

I believe the official name is the googly eye version.

Weekday morning might be more difficult (if it's in Schaumburg) but I'll do my best. I think you have my # right? Viper is good... hard to believe I've already had it a month!

Webby, what kind of service you having done? I'm in the Chicago area as well, is Woodfield Acura the place to go?

[shawn110975]

1991-2005 auto = NA1 3.0L

1991-1996 manual = NA1 3.0L

1997-2005 manual = NA2 3.2L

2002-2005 = bubble eyes

1991-2001 refresh = change headlights to the 02+ version and side skirts, and rear lower valance and rear taillights-

[RJPKRP]

Webby,

Got out an hour late the other morning and was pressed for time when I grabbed my car. Sorry, I'll let you know next time I'm in the city!

Tango,

It was me having work done. TB/WP, valve adjustment, etc. The "Major Service" for NSX. Yes, Woodfield is the place to go. I was turned on to them by other forum members....they have an actual NSX Tech there. Nice guy. In fact, was pleased with the entire experience. I recommend them whole hardheartedly. They aren't the cheapest...even compared to other Acura dealers...but I am confident that Ted knows exactly what he is doing when he works on my car.

The "official" names are:

NA1 means the car has a 3.0L engine and 5-speed manual or 4-speed auto. It can either have the pop-ups or fixed headlights and covers all years 1991-2005.

NA2 means the car has a 3.2L engine and a 6-speed manual. It can either have the pop-ups or fixed headlights and covers the years 1997-2005.

The "unoffical" names are:

Coupe means the car has a fixed roof and can refer to 1991-1994 NA1 models, a very small number of 1997-2001 NA2 models, and the 1999 Zanardi special edition.

Targa means the car has a removable T-top and can refer to 1995-2005 NA1 and NA2 models.

02+ means the car has the "refreshed" body with fixed headlights and can refer to 2002-2005 NA1 and NA2 models.
