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?

I believe the official name is the googly eye version.

LOL, that's not nice! :biggrin:

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,

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.

HTH
