Greetings fellow NSX pilots!
I just purchased an NSX (again, I once had a red one a few years back but had to sell, but am back again!) - a 1993 model, metallic silver with 120k miles on the clock. The paint and interior are in fantastic shape (I will post picture once I learn how to do it!), engine runs smoothly with no smoke. The shifter and trans feel brand new with absolutely no slop or looseness. The clutch is a little lighter than the 91 I had and not as grabby. But I do know it is also probably due for a new clutch soon too
The car has a few upgrades - notably the wheels, which are the 17s from the 1997 model and H&R lowering springs. The maintenance records show the basics were done - new regulators for the windows, gearbox overhaul, belt changes, oil changes, a/c condenser.
I realize I am taking a little bit of risk, purchasing an older one with more miles but so far this "old guy" seems to be in great shape! There are some things I need to work on: first, those "cool" lowering springs absolutely suck. The car is so low that it scrapes everything; I have even had to crawl under and remove trash that was dragging. Definitely not "cool". Next, the car has some extra dark tint on the rear windows - once again it might look cool but I can't see anything out of it, especially at night. The last thing i need to take care of are the rattles coming fro the instrument panel. Old age I guess (if anyone has help here just fire away!). I am surprised at how well it still steers and handles; just no softness or drift. It even feels better than the 91 I had (that one had only 55k miles).
Anyways just want to introduce myslef and say "hi" to the NSX community!
