This is an early model NSX I purchased from another Prime Member back in 2007. It has basically been a garage queen since I purchased it and was rarely driven during the Northwest rainy season between October and May.
My new bride and I are working toward paying off our home so that we can retire soon. Alas, the NSX is now up for sale.
I am not entirely sure of the car's history prior to 2002. I suspect that I might be the fourth owner. The only damage I am aware of was a minor scape across the quarter panel behind the left wheel well and bumper cover. I had this repaired last year. There is no evidence that I have seen of any other damage to the car other than a minor scratch on the right rear wheel opening.
The vehicle is not entirely stock, but I have most of the original parts. I had Acura of Lynnwood install Comptech Headers and Exhaust in 2009. I did not retain the stock headers or exhaust. In 2011 I had them install a Comptech Supercharger and heavy duty clutch. I do have the original induction system if you would like those parts. They also updated all of the hoses, belts and fluids during this process (total cost ran close to $14K). The car was dyno'd and puts out a true 340 HP at the rear wheels.
In the interest of full disclosure, there are three issues a new owner might want to look into:
1. The SRS light illuminated a couple of months ago. I have not gone to the trouble or expense of figuring out how to correct this.
2. The oil pressure sending unit is funky. This is a common problem with early NSX's. I had the SOS aftermarket unit installed at the same time as the supercharger, but it still does not work like it should.
3. The cold idle is a little erratic. It fluctuates 200 RPMS or so at idle until the car is fully warm. I have been told this is not a vacuum leak, but likely some sort of worn sensor that probably needs to be replaced. The car passed state emissions testing with flying colors in April, so whether this is really an issue is up to personal preference.
I will call this a totally optional issue. It still has the original Bose stereo, and true to everything you have read, it sucks. The prior owner installed an amp located in the trunk, but it still sounds pretty crappy.
Aside from these minor issues, this has been the best car I have ever owned. Given that it is now 23 years old (assembled in July 1990) it is amazing how tight and reliable this car has been. And boy, does it still turn heads.
In 2012 I purchased a stock set of 16/17 seven-spoke wheels (gun-metal gray) through Prime. The car has Bridgestone Potenza RE760 Sport tires with just over 1K miles. I think this wheel and tire combination looks great, but I also have the original OEM 15"/16" 5-spoke wheels with Yokohama S-Drive tires in almost brand new condition.
In addition, I have an OEM car cover in great condition and also an OEM nose mask that has never been installed and is brand new.
I am having some technical issues with adding photos. I will gladly provide them upon request.
