If I were to have another NSX I'd get a pre '94 coupe, then gut it down to >2500 lbs., swap out OEM suspensions for a Zanardi/type S (or type R susp.) to make it my only track car. If I have $$ left I'd put on a supercharger (Comptech 4lbs. kit) + intake, headers and Taitec exhaust.

Why the 3.0 liter coupe?

#1) stiffer than post 97 -T

#2) C30A motor has more modding potential than C32B in terms of NA power increase and beefier cylinder walls for FI.


But seriously, getting another one isn't part of my current plan, although a good percentage of NSX owners do have more than just one. Some of these well-to-do multi-NSX'ers even once owned numerous exotic marques that are faster and yet they were compelled to their 2nd (or even 3rd!) NSX, which says alot about the greatness of the car. Why does this ring true with these owners even if the car isn't the fastest, although still plenty fast for most? I don't really know for sure.....

.....But I get a feeling that the answer lies somewhere in my heart and mind once I start racking up more mileage on the Zanardi than to have it sit in the garage most of the time.

 

im going to have to agree with you on that. the nsx is a great sports car, but for the price and amount of power you get, its not worth it imo. yes the car will probably out handle most on the turns, it just doesnt seem like a great sports car compared to the other choices.

is it true that acura does not stock most nsx parts? i heard that they are sickly reliable, and most parts have to be a direct order when needing repairs.

 

No need!

They are badged as Honda over here too

 

What funny about this is that in Japan, many rebadge to Acura. I wish I had a picture to support this but I do not. Anyway, grass is greener on the other side.

 

to each his own

Nope.

 

I would probably shave badges or switch to the JDM badges.

 

Someday I hope to have to make that decision.

 

I would do it. Then slap a type R badge on it and top it off with an APC windshield banner.

 

I've seen pictures of Acura TSXs in Japan
