Client brought their Na1 to me for some work. Inspect engine mechanical timing- found to be one tooth off. Performed cylinder leakage test to validate engine health and combustion chambers are sealed up. Then decided to perform the timing belt
Package which includes the belt, the tensioner, water pump, vc gaskets, oil filter housing gaskets. Also ordered up some new spark plugs and gapped them to spec and installed those. Then did a valve lash adjustment. The car is supercharged; so working around that was a new challenge. It’s been a while since I’ve worked on one of these so I was rusty; but got everything done in a timely fashion nonetheless. Lastly, I found that the engine performance was inconsistent and randomly the engine would begin to misfire. I found that the injector jumper adapters were causing high resistance— so we modified the factory harness by splicing in the appropriate injector harness pigtails. Much better. This thing rips.

Found while lost in Tokyo - absolute cherry.

I am joining the club soon (pre-facelift NA2). I need something to do while eagerly awaiting delivery so please recommend shops in those areas so I can plan my first service accordingly

When I passed him the driver looked to be in his 70’s.
Pretty cool.

Hello everyone,

I’m currently living in Japan and found, what I believe, to be a good deal at an auction. The car didn’t sell yesterday so I could buy it at the reserve price. What are your thoughts on the action sheet? I’ve translated it and attached what the markings mean on the vehicle drawing. As of right now I’m not sure how many previous owners or maintenance records but it’s a 4 B on interior and exterior condition which is almost as good as it gets. 1991 100,000km AT RHD.

Thanks!

Over 500 kms covered. Dry, then rain. Car ran flawlessly.

My uncle has a 1991 Acura NSX that he inherited from my grandfather. Hes not much of a car guy and im nervous to work on it. Does anyone know of a good shop he can take it to for maintenance and general upkeep?

Hello, Honda fans ! I need your feedback because I’m considering buying a Honda NSX with 160,000 km on it at a Japanese auction. It’s been in an accident but has been repaired, and it’s still in good overall condition (unfortunately, given the current NSX market, my budget only allows me to buy models that have been repaired or modified). I wanted to know what the maintenance costs were for you, based on how often you drive it each month. For example, if I drive it twice a week

Hey Honda fans, I’m reaching out because I need your advice on buying a JDM import. This is a project that’s first and foremost about enjoying a legendary Honda, but it’s also an investment since their values are skyrocketing. I’m a huge fan of the first-generation Honda NSX and Ayrton Senna, but the prices are absolutely insane, nearly 90k–100k euros for a left-hand-drive model in good condition, and prices are heading in that direction even on the JDM import market. I almost gave in and paid that price for a friend’s car, but he ultimately changed his mind and kept it. So I’m keeping my faith in the JDM market and trying to find an affordable one, though the condition won’t be as good (mileage shown above, any color). Given the cost of living and fuel prices, which are becoming alarming, I’ve had to lower my budget and my criteria: a budget of 75,000–80,000, and the only requirement is a manual transmission with no history of accidents. However, a friend showed me the Honda S2000 Type S, which is also skyrocketing in price and with its pearlescent white wrap, is catching my eye as well. It’s also an interesting import since it’s exclusive to Japan, and on top of that, it’s well below the NSX price-wise. I’m open to all your advice regarding these two gems. One will be a legend that I’ll treat with care, but I won’t take it on the track, and the other is an icon of the 2000s that I won’t hesitate to let loose on the track. Keep in mind that I’ll also take it on the highway occasionally to drive out of town or attend car meets. Also, let me know which one would require the most mechanical maintenance, even though it makes sense that it depends on how it's used.

Have a great day guys

I was sent details of a 1991 NSX in Japan and the seller reckons the 25-year rule makes it fairly straightforward to bring into NSW. I’m getting conflicting answers about whether it still needs the RAV process, or whether the age means SEVS and the model code no longer matter. Does the exact build month change things much, and what actually has to be approved before it ships?

Spotted inside the port security fence while walking from the ship to Long's Drugstore in Kahului, Maui, HI.

I’ve heard the orange on orange and yellow on yellow are rare

Selling my 1996 Acura NSX-T manual with approximately 83,000 miles. The car was given to me by my grandfather, so I want to be upfront that I don’t know every detail of its history.
I’m asking $80,000 CASH. I’m looking for a serious buyer who understands these cars. I’m happy to answer what I know, provide additional photos, and allow a serious buyer to inspect the car. Located in Georgia.

Apologies if this post doesn't belong here. I'm debating on selling my DC2 type R and my AP1 (both mint condition with less than 50,000 miles) for a NSX NA1 manual.

I would get $60,000 out of the sale, and still need to put down another $40,000.

My concern is that I'd give up spirited driving. I've been driving my two Hondas shown above as wildly as I've ever wanted (I've actually had to replace a door on the DC2 because of it). I still drive them hard as they were intended.

I've never driven a car the way I want to when it's worth more than $40k. When I drove a $30 car, it's never a thought of concern. I just drive. With the rising cost of the NSX, it pains me that if I even get the car I won't be able to properly enjoy it.

What do you guys feel when you drive your NSX?

The true definition of a timeless design, in my opinion at least
