    Opinions on NSX market values

    Yup! Bought mine '94 in 95. I was waiting for the new 95 but was disappointed with the specs and decided to get a '94 instead.

    Opinions on NSX market values

    I was under the impression that ’94 change the alignment specs as ’94 change the wheels to 16” front and 17” back. The reason I know is my bud had a ’93 (I think) and we compared the handbooks. The wheels and setting were different. I think his was a ’93 but I could be wrong. I remember he...

    Opinions on NSX market values

    I agree with you. The first gen '91-'94 should be more collectable. Other than the Zanardi, only the pre ’94 have manual steering. ’95 and ’96 is over weighted with reinforcements. Coupes are rare after ’94. Since ’91-’94 seems to be less desirable to some folks; May be this is the time to...

    Front Lic Plate

    LAX is risky. A few years ago, I was driving my Benz without front Licence plate and I got a warning but no ticket. I never have the front plate on my '94 NSX. I have it new since '95 and never get a ticket. I have to admit that I do not drive the car often and have only about 58.000 miles...

    Does anyone else have a radar detector installed from acura?

    I have a K40 installed by a car audio shop back in 1995. I cannot remember but I think it was one of the shops recommended by K40. It was designed to be installed above the steering or in front of the instrument panel. I do not like that location and told the shop to install it under the...

    Cold Air Intakes ...

    Just want to bring up an issue. Dyno testing is done with the engine in a car static or on a test stand, still static. With a Ram Air intake facing forward at speed, I would not be surprised if the engine would produce more power.

    Cold Air Intakes ...

    The question is on the benefits of Cold Air Intakes. My understanding of fuel system is as follows:- Fuel and air ratio is by mass/weight not by volume, hence the colder the air the denser the air. More air means more fuel can be added keeping the same air/fuel ratio. More fuel means more...

    Acura can't duplicate key

    After reading through this thread, I am glad that I have a '94. There is nothing fancy about the key and I got a free wallet card key from AAA.

    Changing demographics of NSX owners?

    57. Brought my ’94 in 95. Original owner. Car just turned over 50,000 miles. Most reliable car I ever have. Replaced the water pump, head gasket, new CV boots, slave clutch cylinder and all the hoses in the engine bay area at 45,000 miles. Autowave did a nice job. The bill was a little bit...

    NSX Down due to part unavailible NEED HELP

    If the factory bolt has rolled thread, a new bolt done by CNC machine would get you a bolt with cut threads, which is inferior in strength to a bolt with rolled thread. I would get the specification of that bolt and check with bolt manufacture. Honda most likely purchased this bolt from a...

    Driving schools?

    I did the Bondurant High Performance Driving Course many years ago. Bondurant is at Chandler, Arizona. I have to say it was the most fun activity that I ever had. The tour of the circuit in a van was definitely exciting. The course taught the students some basic techniques including how to...

    NSX keyless entry

    Don’t know if your ‘98 has a remote or not but I have remotes for my ’94. When I purchased mine in ’95, I asked the dealer to install it. It was a dealer installed option. I think the remote is the same as the ones that were used by Legend. Here is a picture of my remotes with the covers...

    Does anybody know where to get black sheepskininserts for the nsx?

    I have the sheepskin inserts. It was available at the dealers then. I ordered it from my dealer when I got the car back in '95. May be you can check with the dealers. I believe it had a Honda/Acura part number.

    Inappropriate Question

    I really don't know what is the fuss about? If I were asked, I just tell them the truth. I bought it new and I paid less than list. I really do not know exactly how much I paid for it unless I search for my record. If I remember, I would just tell. I figure if I paid less than market value...

    Is there anyone here who has a completely stock car?

    The hidden radar detector was installed in a shop. I am not even sure if they punched holes through the firewall and the back wall or use existing holes for the sensing units. The display unit is velco mounted above the rear view mirror with the center sunshade covering it. The wire ran up my...

    Is there anyone here who has a completely stock car?

    I had my share of mod cars when I was young. I stopped modifying cars when I got my '87 Mercedes 190 2.3-16. I think I paid a little more than the price of a 300E for that little sedan. It was a very good little sedan. I just had my first son and needed a back seat to place the baby car seat. I...

    Power steering adds 150 pounds?!!

    The Zanardi was a special run from the factory using the old chassis. The original chassis was designed and optimized with the aid of 2 Cray Computers. All post ’95 used the beefed up chassis. To get more performance for the Zanardi the easy way, Honda/Acura used the old chassis probably with...

    Power steering adds 150 pounds?!!

    The 150 lbs quote probably came from the difference between a ’94 and a ’95 NSX. I bought a ’94 in 1995 because of this weight issue. In 1995 Honda/Acura came out with the NSX T. In order to provide the T top, the chassis has to be beefed up. This added weight caused the need of the power...
