It’s time to sell my beloved NSX which I have owned since November, 2006. The description below is accurate, with the exception of the wheels.

I could part the NSX out by selling the exhaust, stereo system, car cover, etc., but I’ve decided to keep these items with the vehicle.
Sorry for the obvious techy stats that most of you already know, but I also used this same verbiage for some other "NonPrime" postings.
From 1990 to 2005, only 8949 NSXs were imported to the U.S. Of those, only 467 were made in Sebring Silver. This color was only produced from 1991-1993. http://www.nsxprime.com/wiki/Production_Numbers#United_States
This example runs strong and has never given me trouble. When properly maintained, these vehicles are practically bullet proof. This car is my daily driver for 8 months of the year. Mobil 1 Synthetic used regularly. Garaged daily.
If you are seriously interested in the car, please PM me (or email me: [email protected]). Here is a quick video to give you an idea of the exhaust, which I took on June 15th: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Be202SG0Sjg&feature=channel_page
Many describe the ARK DT-S Exhaust being very similar to an Infiniti G35 with a bit more deeper bass. It’s not nearly as loud as most aftermarket options for this car. Here is a Science of Speed exhaust comparison chart for your reference: http://www.scienceofspeed.com/sos_resource/FAQs/NSX/eap/exhaust_comparison/
Here's the specifics:
Year: 1991
Color: Sebring Silver
Miles: ~135,xxx
Price: $20,000
Transmission: 5-Speed Manual (not in snap-ring range)
VIN: JH4NA1158MT001712
Modifications:
* Wings West Side Skirts
* Wings West Chin Spoiler
* 2002 Rear Valence
* Entire car was professionally repainted (OEM color) when body kit parts were added by Brooks Motorcars in Oakland, CA (over $8K) so all parts match perfectly and the paint work is more than exceptional
* ARK DTS Exhaust installed 1 year ago.
* Dali Front and Rear Swaybars installed 2 months ago http://www.daliracing.com/v666-5/catalog/index_browse_part.cfm?focus=2157
* Aftermarket Clifford Alarm System
* Window tint (light on windows, darker on hatch, impeccable job)
* Paint matched (Sebring Silver) Interior Panels (see images)
* SOS ProFormance Audiophile System (Stage2, see link below)
Stereo Install Board Post
* 19"/18" Konig Tantrum 7 spoke wheels (again, I still have three of them in storage, but stock rims are on now. Stock tires are Hankook Ventus with about 40% remaining on the rears and 80% on the front.
* Seats have also been replaced by seats from 1997 and show minimal wear
* Nose has 2002 style emblem
* New floor mats (Hrant - black/silver)
* NSX car cover
Maintenance:
* All services completed and on-time or ahead of schedule
* Timing belt was replaced at about 89K miles (roughly)
* Dali Window Fix-It thingies have been installed in both windows
* Transmission fluid flush last October.
* Brake fluid flush and speed bleeders installed last October.
* Clutch was replaced around 95K miles (roughly, and is OEM)
* New Bilsteins installed 1 year ago on stock springs. These have two perch settings and I have them set on the lower one, which results in a 7/8 inch drop.
* Master and Slave clutch cylinder replaced.
* Air Conditioning was retro-fitted a year ago and blows cold.
* Engine Coolant hoses were replaced when I bought the car in 2006. I replaced the coolant tank with an OEM one just last fall. No leaks at all.
* Engine hatch struts and trunk struts were replaced 6 months ago.
Minor Repairs needed/desired:
* Temperature Control Unit needs repair, as it turns off periodically on it’s own. BrianK from NSXPRIME has quoted me a very fair price to fix this with a 3 day turnaround time: http://www.nsxprime.com/forums/showthread.php?t=121925&highlight=Briank
* The ABS system needs flushing, as the pump will periodically cycle. I’m not sure what the dealer charges but…. DIY Here! - http://www.danoland.com/nsxgarage/brakes/abs/abs.htm
* The black roof was not repainted when the rest of the car was 4 years ago. It is the original paint and has faded.
* The weather stripping is peeling off the windshield where it meets the roof.
* Minor rock chips and scraping on front lip.
* The OEM rims are by no means perfect, as they have faded and are showing age. They are however, straight and true. I’m guessing the next owner will be putting their own rims on, anyhow.
If you are familiar with these cars, then you know that these are common issues and easily repaired. The engine does not leak, burn, or use any oil at all.
Thanks for looking.
