How reliable/tight is the NSX?

[usracer900]

Did a search, didn't find any concrete answers. Anyways, I'm in the market for a 91-93 NSX. Curious about the mechanical and structural reliablility of this car. After say, 75K miles, does it have many creaks or rattles in the body? What can I expect mechanically after that many miles? Does the paint typically hold up well with age? I'm assuming it's pretty good being a Honda.

Lots of questions, I know, any input would be greatly appreciated, thanks.

 

[NSX/MR2]

No, I have a car that has 130,000 miles on it, and it is still as tight and almost as awesome as the 2002 I test drove. The car will easily last you to 200,000 miles with all the maintenaces such as 60k, 90k, or maybe snap-ring being taken of.

My 92 has a little over 80K miles on it. Mechnically the privious owner/s took really good care of it so it is running perfect. Not even my cam seals are leaking All little items regurding the 91-92 has been taken care of like the window regulator, snap ring was fixed with a new trans casing and NSX-R gears installed at that time. TB and water pump done. The paint is in great shape except for the lower front bumper clip which has lots of rock chips and scuff marks on the lower lip spoiler. Unavoidable on a simi daily driven car with 80K miles. Drivers seat leather bolster has a tear in the the seam, but everything else is still good. I have new leather on the way anwyway. Over all, the NSX has been as reliable as my other Hondas and Acuras. In fact, since I have owned it I have only changed the oil, changed a leaking coolant tank to a Science of Speed tank, and had the upper rubber windshield molding replaced due to it shrinking.

I am not trying to be a dick but "anyways" is not an english word as far as I know. I only point it out because the use of it makes me want to punch my monitor and I like my screen.

I bought a '92 with 103,000 miles. It had been wrecked twice and fixed, had the snap ring fixed, and I had the owner's mechanic install an ACT clutch. The next weekend I tracked for two days at VIR. I toasted the brake pads, but otherwise it was a hoot. The main thing I have done since is reduce weight. I am still running stock suspension (100k+), but it is very solid, very fast, and cranks every single time I turn the key, and still gets 27 mpg on the highway.

...but you need a chiropracter if you ride on the highway (in ncdogdoc's car - race seats) for more than 15 minutes...ask me how I know!
