Hello everyone,
I'm real excited about getting into this car, as it's been a long time dream. I currently drive an S2000 and also own a turbo Integra, both soon to be sold. Thus, I am familiar with Hondas, however as we all know, the NSX is a whole different level and there really isn't any Honda, atleast that I can relate this car with. Hence, my presence here...
I have some very basic questions I need help answering to. Questions I'm having difficulty finding the answers to. I'll just get right to it:
What year did the 3.2L get introduced? Were all 91-94 3.0L regardless of transmission? Aside from obvious jump .2 in liter size, was there any other changes to the motor through the years?
I understand that 93 added a passenger airbag and one cup holder to the none it had in the previous years, what else does the 93 add?
What year's had black top vs what years had body color matched top?
Acura (written out) vs Acura emblem vs NSX on back lights?
What cars had 290hp is the 3.0L 270hp?
As you can tell, I'm looking into a 93 and I think I've honed in on the one I'd like to pick up. I have never driven a NSX nor sat in one. The one I am interested, from the pictures looks slightly modified by way of open element intake kit and some sort of exhaust. Also has some speaker, sub and amp upgrades. THe current owner is the 3rd and has only had it for about 1.5 years. Needless to say, he doesn't know much about NSX's or this car's history. I was the one to point out to him that it has an exhaust on it. He has received similiar questions/concerns such as mine from other prospective buyers and now has started a back tracing of the previous owners to get some answers...which is good. I have yet to go see this car in person since it's a few hundred miles away and to be honest, really don't want to go see it until I have some solid background information on this car.
From my findings, there really are two types of NSX owners.
1. First is the person who barely drove it and was a weekend type car or..
2. The type of person who drove it daily or tracked it with some level of sprited style of driving.
In my mind, it's the no. 2 I am the most concerned about, altough there are reason to be concerned for no. 1 as well.
Any addiontial information you may be able to provide will be greatly apperciated!
Thanks!
Ahad.
