    NSX-R Carpet badges

    Another source for these badges is the souvenir that Honda gave to attendees of the NSX Fiesta in Japan to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the NSX. It is a miniature mat made of the same material as the real full size NSX-R car mats. Plus it includes a full size NSX-R carpet badge attached...

    Where are all the Production deliveries ??

    There's no evidence of that which I can find. Nobody is saying this anywhere else on-line. Additionally all of the Honda web sites in Europe that I looked at continue to advertise the car and the European on-line configurator is still working...

    Downforce NSX-R Wing LED connector installation help

    I suggest buying part # 32106-SL0-000. It is the wiring harness with the grommet attached. This allows you to properly seal the hole from water intrusion. Plus it allows you to avoid destroying the wiring on your OEM wing. Just cut connector off the end of new harness, cut the connector off...

    *** incorrect expansion pressure cap being supplied by Honda ***

    I've had the black cap on my car for many years. It was originally bought from Japan as an NSX-R part. When I measure it I get slightly over 15mm between the two seals. So if this is truly an error on Honda's fault, the problem has been present for a long time.

    Acura....why don't you have SRS airbags available for the NSX? Car down...NO ETA??

    I recommend you check to see if the parts are available from Honda dealers in Japan. 90% of the time that US Acura dealers have told me that a part is discontinued I have been able to order it from Japan. It is possible to ship airbags overseas but the the shipping cost will likely be very high.

    Acura....why don't you have SRS airbags available for the NSX? Car down...NO ETA??

    A few years ago I posted a university study that showed that older airbag systems failed to provide a statistically significant reduction in automotive death rates. Additionally old airbag systems are far more likely to injure you (e.g. sever a finger) than save your life. Even advocates of...

    Another Main Relay Thread!

    In the last 5 years I've had too many electronic module failures on my 91..... Main relay Ignition control module Ignition switch Climate control module Radiator fan control unit (37735-PR7-A01) Turn signal control module (35285-SL0-A01) In most cases the problem appeared to be leaky...

    Never mind. I managed to locate a second floor mat emblem.

    Random NSX pictures that don't each deserve their own thread

    Something I recently picked up from a Japanese auction site. This is the first time I've seen real NSX-R carpet in person and I can say it's beautiful quality stuff. Pity it isn't an option for our LHD cars.

    NSX-R vs NSX Coupe (91-94) Rear Strut Tower Bar

    The stiffer bar has been around for a lot longer than that. The bar first appeared on the 1992 NSX-R.

    NSX-R vs NSX Coupe (91-94) Rear Strut Tower Bar

    The original bolts used on the coupes do not properly fit the NSX-R strut tower bar. The correct bolts to get are part # 93404-08020-07. These are the same bolts that come standard on the targa. The difference is that they're black instead of silver and the washer has a larger diameter. This...

    Sad to see NSX Prime become such a ghost town

    Facebook = fast food But who enjoys eating fast food every day? The first few bites may taste good, but ultimately it reveals itself to be gross and sickening. Facebook = the new AOL For many of its users Facebook is the beginning and the end of the Internet. It provides even your grandmother...

    Rumor mill: Type R coming in 2020

    You make a good point about how long the mirrors are on the car. Considering this they probably should have included power folding mirrors. Although I'd still argue that the lack of this feature really doesn't reduce the cars tech credibility. There are essentially no luxury sedans and SUVs...

    Rumor mill: Type R coming in 2020

    The NSX stereo supports both Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. These are the future of infotainment systems, not some proprietary boutique OEM design that will be hopelessly outdated in only a few years. The NSX supported both these standards before all of its key competitors did. Last I...

    Rumor mill: Type R coming in 2020

    Yep and how many of those YouTube viewers will ever buy an NSX vs how many of them will buy a normal Honda/Acura?

    Rumor mill: Type R coming in 2020

    Did you ever stop to think that maybe Honda cares more about how the car is perceived by the many potential Acura customers than how the few buyers with large disposable incomes perceive it? To the average buyer considering a new MDX, learning that the NSX drivetrain integrates 4 engines...

    Rumor mill: Type R coming in 2020

    The April sales were bad due to the $30K incentive that Acura was offering during the winter. This caused sales during the winter months to be artificially high. Now that the incentive is gone and all the buyers who were waiting on the sidelines have been fleshed out, it's natural for there to...

    Rumor mill: Type R coming in 2020

    The R would likely provide not only greater hp but also significant weight savings. Together this can provide a significant performance improvement. Also remember that the original R did not even provide more hp than the stock car. Its goal was to provide a more track focused vehicle in OEM...

    Which Oil Filter is Best?

    The tall Denso filter for the NSX has been discontinued. Denso deleted the part entirely from their US parts catalog. So I doubt Amazon will be getting any more stock. However I've been able to find two other Japanese brand filters that are still readily available: Union Sangyo and Nippon...

    My 2.0 NSX review. part 2

    Your statement implies that the interior design is not exotic and quirky enough for the price since "simplicity" has nothing to do with quality. If that's what you meant then I sorta agree. I believe many customers in this price range expect to see something more unique and unusual looking...

    02+ NSX-R OEM Arm rest for LHD NSXs

    I have the 02+ NSX-R center lid installed on my LHD 91. I did the modification myself and found it to be extremely easy. To do the mod I simply swapped some of the hardware from my stock 91 lid with the hardware on the NSX-R lid. The modification is not permanent and can be easily reversed...
