History:
After almost 10 years of ownership, I have decided to sell my NSX - this car has been amazing to me. It is fully optioned, nicely upgraded, needs nothing and is 100% road-ready. You will be hard pressed to find a more meticulous owner, and a car with a more documented history. I am the 5th owner, and purchased the vehicle from a fellow NSX prime member (Hearsecutor) in 2/2004 with 28,600 miles. To say the car is a garage queen is an under statement. I have a young family (2 girls, ages 3 and 13 months), and have put less than 10,000 miles on the car in 9 years; Since 10/2010, the car has only been driven ~500 miles! It needs someone that has the time to appreciate it for what it is.
I have an extremely well docummented history on this vehicle, including copies of certificates of title dating back to 1996 (I have certificates of title from Wisconsin, New Hampshire and Georgia). To summarize the car's life, this NSX was originally shipped to Reading Pennslyvania on 10/25/1991, and then moved to Wisconsin, New Hampshire, Georgia, Tennessee and finally to Houston (with me). I also have all the service history dating back to 7/24/97 through present with very extensive receipts/etc. Of note, as detailed in Carfax, the car was involved in 1 minor fender bender before my ownership - in 10/2003 in Tennessee (car had ~28,200 miles on it at the time), the car was backed into in a parking lot. The damage was to the left front area of the front bumper. As a result, the bumper cover was replaced, and re-sprayed. Before I bought the car in 2/2004, I had put it through an extensive pre-purchase inspection (PPI) by the dealer (Pye Acura in Chattanooga, TN) and it passed with flying colors (I have the dealer PPI inspection for review). I again had the bumper cover re-sprayed a few years ago, and at that time, removed the Acura logo for a cleaner appearance. I not only have a copy of the carfax which can be faxed to any interested party, but the previous owner at the time (NSX Prime member Hearsecutor) is happy to answer any questions that may arise.
From an aesthetic perspective, the car is stunning. It nevers sees rain and has lived in my garage. The exterior paint is flat out excellent (the car is polished with Zaino products regularly). The car has zero dings, scratches or scrapes. You will only find a few tiny, indiscernable rock chips on the front bumper cover. All areas seal perfectly as intended (ie: doors, hood, trunk, engine bay, etc). The ivory interior is in remakable shape (regularly cleaned/conditioned with Lexol products). There is a small sign of wear on the driver's bolster (close-up pics detail this), and the rest of the interior is near flawless. The carpeting is also in great shape, including un-exposed areas (such as under the seats, etc). The carpet is protected by a set of charcoal OEM NSX floor mats, which are also in excellent condition. Both sun visors were replaced, and are in excellent condition.
In the effort of full disclosure and having read other NSX descriptions, viewed pics and seen several cars personally over the past 10 years, here is additional interior detail that I believe is important to discuss: The steering wheel leather and shift boot are unscathed (no marks, wear, etc). The door sills, entry felt, and associated trim show no wear. All switchs show no wear marks, the metal door panels and console trim are in excellent condition (no bubbles). The winshield weather stripping is in excellent condition (no shrinkage). All displays (HVAC, radio, clock) illuminate brightly (no dimming or burn outs). All guages, warning lights, interior lights operate properly. All three pedals show minimal wear. The glove box and console liners are immaculate, as is the headliner (non-smoking interior). The entry felt is like new, all weather-stripping is supple (no tears), there is no wear on the console or door panels from "knee-rubbing", the dash is flawless, and all Bose speakers have been rebuilt (the previous owner rebuilt both doors and the sub). All glass is defect free, and the windows/rear hatch were professionally tinted at 65%. All exterior lights function properly, including all rear LED's in the spoiler.
From a mechanical perspective, there are no issues whatsoever. The transmission snap ring issue was addressed by a previous owner during 5/2000 at 18,600 miles (ring and case updated by dealer, have dealer invoice from Acura of White Bear, which is located in White Bear Lake, MN), the 90k mile service was done 1/2002 at 23,800 miles (timing belt replaced, etc. I have the dealer invoice from Pye Acura Chattanooga, TN). Since my ownership, the car has been serviced at Sterling McCall Acura (one of the local Houston dealers) and at the former Acura NSX focussed Houston performance shop AutoLogic (the former owner, Brad Able, also an NSX prime member, knows this car intimately). The engine was always a strong example (reporting a naturally aspirated 264 hp/197 lbft of torque just with headers/intake/exhaust), and in early 2007 I supercharged the car. The car was extensively tuned by Tony Palo, one of the best tuners in the country and the owner of T1Race Development in Dallas, TX (www.t1racedevelopment.com). The car generated an impressive max power 386.7hp to the wheels (I have all dyno graphs). Of note, if this current setup is not to the new owner's liking, I have all the parts necessary to return the car to naturally aspirated status. Equally important to note, this car has not been tracked under my ownership.

My goal when I bought this car was to keep the visceral feel that Acura intended, and only enhance it in a tasteful, classy way. That said, should a prospective buyer want to change any of my modifications, I have all the parts necessary to return the car back to normal aspirated form. I have many more pictures, so please feel free to ask. Thanks for looking.
