Finally back to my Honda Roots: NSX

[Accel Junky]

After selling my most recent vehicle (C5 Z06) I was certain I was going for another MKIV Supra Turbo, but amidst my search I recalled the NSX and started looking into them again. Well, ironically not a day or two later I stumble upon a local Comptech SC'd NSX that was up for consignment at a local dealer who was a friend of the owner. I walked up, negotiated a great price, and picked it up the next day.

Its been 2 days since I bought it. Wow... my thoughts follow:

Specs:
1991 Black on Black
68k miles
Comptech Blower (6psi)
Comptech Headers and Exhaust
Comptech Hi-pro Clutch
OZ wheels with Bridgestone RE050A tires

Pros:
-Honda feel (back to my roots)
-Exotic looks (F40'ish looks)
-Exclusivity (You don't see these. In fact, I see more MKIV Supras oddly enough)
-Driving visibility (WOW!)
-Ride quality (not mushy by any means, but not overly stiff)
-Steering response (WOW!)
-Handling (WOW!)
-Engine sound (Closest to a Ferrari that I can think of)

Cons:
-Stereo (ouch, painfully bland sound quality)
-Acceleration (I've been spoiled by a 484whp Supra hardtop unfortunately).


So overall, I love the car. The only exception is that I need more power. I'm hoping that the 9psi pulley, fuel upgrade and a tune will make me happier with that item.

Thanks,

Daniel

[JDMjoe]

Congrat on the NSX man. I would love to have one. You sure out did yourself going back to your honda roots lol :goodjob: rep for honda at its best

[Frög]

i love NSX.. if i ever sell my porsche.. ill be buying a NSX.. and maybe a gsxr 600.. :)

[1989_crx_si]

congrats on choosing a fine sports car. i own 2 myself. a berlina black/black and a gpw/black.

i have own and driven many fine sports cars before but i can't explain how special NSX's are compare to others. i had a '94 mkiv tt six speed before and yes the power of those do have tremendous power compare to the NSX. driven ZO6, mustangs, vipers, etc. but nothing handles as good as a NSX in stock form. i do agree the NSX doesn't have much power compare to other sports car but with a little FI won't hurt it =).

[_Christian_]

the nsx is hard to beat in terms of looks/reliability...not so much performance, but thats why you s/c that bish. nice car.

[Z33_kid]

i love it

[The Ren]

Pretty hot Daniel.. I miss the supra though

[Andy_013]

wow nice sc nsx

[KPowerEP3]

congrats on a nice find and a gorgeous car. looks like it was extremely well kept.

[UpSideDownDesi]

very clean nsx......i'll be in market for one soon. If ya don't mind how much did it run you?

[GSRteg®]

Nice NSX. :yes:

[changaroo]

Sent you a PM :)

[Accel Junky]

Pretty hot Daniel.. I miss the supra though

Thanks! Yeah, I was very close to getting another Supra. I still may down the road, you never know :)

[josh green]

Blah, this is probably the most fun car I have ever driven. The SC is enough go to certainly not be a snail, its good for some solid 12sec passes. But you dont buy it to be a drag car. Forget the supra, or the vette, this car is where its at. Its not the fastest, but you will definitely get out with a whole new respect for the car. I want it D, lol.

[The Yousef]

PM me your address so i can carjack errr i mean see you... :ninja: :burnout:

[The Ren]

Thanks! Yeah, I was very close to getting another Supra. I still may down the road, you never know :) you better still come out to our meets...

Have you been looking in my garage or something?

I am glad to see such love still for the NSX. I have had many cars but I seem to come back to NSXs. More power and better brakes would be tops on my list but even though the body style is over 16 years old, people still think my car is brand new.

Congrats on the new find. Come to NOPI...NSXCA has a new huge area!


BTW Yousef, you hate the NSX...why would you want one...you better jump on the nutz of the S13 :2up:

[Accel Junky]

^^

I'm thinking about coming to Nopi this year. I usually never have my projects done in time, but this thing has a few upgrades out of the box :)

[Sol-Badguy]

Erin ran low 12's in 1/4 last weekend...i dunno if i'd be willing to put my money on you alex, even on a road course...Erin is a EXTREMLEY expierenced driver with many hours behind the wheel, yes even gripping as opposed to drifting...

you're ghey....admit your love for the penis and hand over the keys to the nsx....:D

[OG-Skinny]

Nice ride choice man. My dad is looking for one soon.. He's looking at getting a bday/xmas present to himself. My step-mom probably won't mind either. Mind PM'ing me a price range i can tell him to stay within? He wants a 3.2 motor, but i told him it would be way newer and more expensive.

TIA

[SL33P3R]

Gorgeous NSX man. Im not sure which one I like better. Your hardtop supra or this car. I probaly would like the performance of the supra better, but I LOVE the look of a NSX better, 1000000x more exotic

Nice choice bro

[jdogg319]

thats a nice ass NSX love it man especially the black on black shits dope

[joesblk_teg]

give me 5 minutes with your car and a tissue.. ooo wait to late i need to change my pants. +2 for a sexy ass NSX

[The Ren]

The supra was soo fucking nice.. i miss his old red supra

[iNsTuN nOoDoH]

very clean nsx......i'll be in market for one soon. If ya don't mind how much did it run you?
Yeah man, I'd like to know as well if you don't mind. I've been having my eye on one for a minute.

[collins]

too hot for words, man! the nsx has been one of my favorite cars for a LOOONG time now. much love for it!

[atlxpat]

very nice, are those ultraleggeras or superleggeras?
there was a 2 week period this summer where i saw over 10 diffrent nsx's around atlanta... but none the less still very rare

[ORGANIZATIONXIII]

damn that is MINT

[NevrNufTorq]

congrats on the sweet ride!! :goodjob: you owe me a ride in that thing! :bump:

[IndianStig]

what a sexy machine. i want, i want, i want.

[aquabat0587]

Hey I think I have seen that car!!! Do you live in kennesaw? I think I saw it when I was delivering pizzas...

[SPOOLIN]

this thing was definatly a fun car to ride in, but why didnt you post pics of that gangsta ass 1991 integrated console cell phone!

[lunatic]

looks like it was kept in very good condition, congrats.

[Accel Junky]

Thanks, all :)

Just need to register my car in a non-emissions county so that I can make some more power without worrying.

NevrNufTorq - Sure thing :)

Stover - I need to rig up my cell to work with that thing, that would be hilarious.

Aquabat - I do live in Kennesaw. The car was on consignment over near BMV on Cobb pkwy for about 6 weeks until I walked in.

[Accel Junky]

I think they are the Ultraleggeras. I'm debating on ditching them for something with a nice lip :)

[Accel Junky]

Gorgeous NSX man. Im not sure which one I like better. Your hardtop supra or this car. I probaly would like the performance of the supra better, but I LOVE the look of a NSX better, 1000000x more exotic

Nice choice bro

I agree, the performance of the Supra was definitely more violent. If I could only harness that into this car, it would be the ultimate ride. :D

-Daniel

[Kalifornia087]

Beautiful NSX man!
I looove mkIV Supras, but these are so much more rare on the streets. Nice choice!

[Twinnos]

definitely nice! i probably would've had a hard decision with that one too. naw, who am i kidding i love supras but that nsx is really nice.

[Kevykev]

NSX's Definately exhibit the looks of an exotic car and they are in fact a more rare site than an mkiv Supra.

They are afforable as well.

[speedminded]

I've always wanted to do a ground up build on an NSX...ugh, i've seen way too many JGTC and Super GT videos with subtitles :tongue:

[GGPIS3]

wow.. what a small world.. that looks exactly like the nsx i was considering to buy from bmv motorsports... same wheels and all.

heard some bad things so i opted away from it... but it sure did look good. any issues with the one you got? i got scared cuz of how hold the car is and how much it would cost to maintain.. all i could think of is how good she would have looked with some blitz wheels... a nice 5" lip...

anyways.. good luck with the car and happy modding!

[sprix!]

I love that car! So f*ckin' sexy! Nice choice.

[BobbyFresco]

Your car is fucking sick...Nice find...

[2micro4u]

As of right now my taget of choice for my next vehicle is a NSX as well. I can't say when but if...just if I get rid of my EVO8 it will have to be for a NSX-TARGA.

[aemkitfox]

that car is teh sex
