Either I suppose. The "new NSX" got a lot of praise when it came out, then ebay got flooded with resellers so they sorta because white tigers. a lot like the NA2s actually, sadly.

Its definitely wear related and according to noise. In theory, if your engine is oiled, the actual wear is very minimal. I've seen Legends with 300k miles without the valve lash adjusted, it seems to be mentioned a lot in Hondaland, but I for one have very rarely seen a car actually...loosing...

Nice job

I had no idea this model or even body change existed. Sadly I havent seen one of these on the road in 7 years, how many did Honda sell?

If you put an Acura badge on a dodge Stealth, I bet lots of kids now wouldn't know the difference till they looked it up on their phones.

If you didn't think this was 1989, look at the spokeswoman's hair. Visual correlation to the HP-X is mostly the low nose, position of where the turn signals would be, and the bubble shape of the glass to mock a fighter jet for no blind spot visibility (one of the things the NSX gets mentioned...

I don't like to quote and reply, but of all the ricer shit on this car, this one floored it for me. I hope you bought this car for real cheap, cause I dont know who decided they wanted to ugly mod the crap out of a Civic, and then said, no for ten times the price, ill do it on an NSX instead...

Yeah. If you look into it, the original NSX concept sketch was made i THINK in 1984 and by Pininfarina. Thats why when people say the NSX looks like an Italian supercar, I tell them it is, but with Honda build quality so it doesn't break down

To this day I still hear people bark about "gassing" brake pads in reference to Asbestos... I also hear the word "backpressure" used a lot from the old guys, and some kids, as if every new car is still carburated. Some people don't know the facts and don't wanna do the research, understandable...

Pininfarina = Ferrari . Close enough :)

I'd vote for timeserts. I've seen the quality of metal they use, and its a formed sleeve, while some use a "spring", a timesert is actually machined similar to and meant for the use of bolts. I've used them myself for oil pan nuts, exhaust studs in the engine head, and timing belt boss holes...

so much prettier than the current one. then again, so was the one that actually got built, even with no paint!

Sorry if I'm wrong here, but wasnt the purpose of the front NSX's suspension from the ground up to eliminate bump steer? I recall there being a part that is called "anti-bumpsteer" :P

Every single Honda. The side of the road fix we used to do was duct taping two pennies together. The bolt and a chunk of rubber (to hold the bolt in place as a 'locknut') also works equally well.

Those who refered the NSX's basic body with regards to the windows comparing it to a fighter jet felt like a gimmick back in the day but is underappreciated now. Most modern cars have crazy fat C pillars with little to no rear quarter glass so they actually NEED backup cameras while the 90s...

Solid bearings, heim joints or speherical bushings are harsh, they transfer all noise vibration and harshness. Though you say this is for a track car, sometimes replacing ALL of them are going to remove some of the cushion for the tires to do its job. I'd suggest talking to someone who has done...

This gives me hope :) Also it gives me hope for the american car market, not needing stuff made with big expensive molds overseas created in mammoth factories, but made in people's basements. little bondo and paint and soon we can replicate our own spoilers, fenders and bumpers. NSX-R GT intake...

Nicely written post, very fun read :) thanks, I will read this again

don't do it!

Throwing this out there for the future, main relay solder problems affect damn near every 90s Honda, but if this wasnt a permanent fix, another common crank but no start problem without a CEL tends to be the crank sensor. I've seen this happen on many different makes of cars and they are a pain...

This NSX uses Lug bolts?? Like euro crap? Boooo Honda. Hiss, boooo. shame on you. Lug bolts SUCK. Always have. You'll see.

this has been debated all the way back to ww2. "but this is a performance engine". said the NA1 engine. and the B16 Honda made in the 80s, and so on and so forth. in 20 years, this car is gonna be considered like every reliable Honda engine made, and most call for 7500 miles. yes we have high...

lug nut*. wheel studs are pressed in, not bolted

This is also a good time to remove any torx bolts with phillips headed ones because the NSX is japanese, not german :)

This is actually easier than the older Boxsters. Thankfully this uses a pass through system for the brake fluid, so bleeding it like any other car swapping one caliper at a time purges the air bubbles so there are none.
