I heard that the S2000 and the NSX are made in the same factory which happens to only make these 2 cars. No other Honda is made in that factory...

is this true?


if it is, kinda makes me feel like I should get a certificate or something with the car .

wil..

 

I think the Insight is also made there.

 

It's the Takanezawa plant in Tochigi, Japan. David is right, the S2000, NSX, and Insight are all built there.

 

Yeah, 50 S2000s, and 10 Insights a day. Oh and 1 NSX if there happens to be an order for one.

 

So 15 000-18000 [MAX] S2000's a year?!

 

If I remember correctly, the factory rep said they could ramp up to one-hundred S2000's per day.

Another tidbit - the welding tools they have can operate at both aluminum and steel temps. No need to change anything when running a lone NSX through.

 

Yep .. same plant supposedly.

 

You see if they where to take there time we wouldnt have tranny, cluth and grind problems.

 

It is likely that the clutch and transmission are built by a supplier, not Honda. They are simply assembled in the Tochigi plant.

 

When my Dad took delivery on his NSX (waaaaay back in '91) they gave him a great hardcover book that details the whole assembly process for the NSX (including the 900 some-odd coats of paint they put on 'em to make 'em so shiny ). I'll try to get a hold of it next time I visit the family and put some pics of the factory and test track up. It's one helluva facility.
