My god!! 409k!!! Pics of the odo ? On the original engine ?
hahahaha lol a garage3 queen with 400K+ miles wtf
Picture of ODO?
LOL, I was thinking the same thing. I'd like to see the overall cond. of the car with that mileage. Welcome BTW.
This it?
I was wondering where that car ended up. Prime's "Ben" checked it out for me when it was posted on craigslist about a year ago. He sent me a number of pictures including the below ones. Car looked to be in great shape considering the mileage. As far as wheels are concerned, I really am partial to the OEM 2002+ style so that's where I'd recommend you go with it!
Post some current pictures! And get that baby out of the garage and back on the road to 500k. I'm at 452,500 on my old Legend.

If this is still the orginal engine and tranny then I laugh at those garage queen NSXs even more...........
Jeeze, I hope you didn't overpay.............Kelly Blue Book on an NSX with 407,000 miles is only $11,600.
Make sure it isn't in the snap ring range, those things can go at any time.
You should be due at 420,000 miles for your 7th timing belt change. You might as well have the cam plugs done and the water pump.
If your compression is good, maybe a low boost Angus turbo is in order.

As I recall it was listed in the $15k range and needed a clutch.

this engine is proof that these engine will last forever. with out SC or Turbo. I would never do SC or turbo as I would be scared to hurt the engine.call me old school but Yikes
most new cars with Turbo's only warranty the New engine for 50K miles.
but the same car with out turbo is warranty to 100K miles.
that tells you something there.
but the fact thaqt it has over 400K miles is amazing. and like someone said earlier it makes these garage queens look like fools.
this car has had so much fun on the road. I am sure it will last for another 20 years with all it regular updates, tb,wp,hoses etc. keep her alive
and keep posting pics of the OD lol thats amazing
I love my NSX
on my way to NSXCAPADES last sunday Mine just hit 120,023 Miles

Get a compression and leak down test. I'm curious....
Hell why keep it in the garrage - get that car on the road - see how far it will go! You might set an all time record for high mileage - maybe 800k - who knows.
I would however consider a leak down test. Hopefully all the rings and valve stems, seats are all ok? MMMMmmmmm makes you sho nuff wonder how far these engines can go doesn't it? You realize you have a car that you will never be able to get your money out of so why save it now. Pretty cool man! Gotta love the nerve it took to buy this car.
And on another post here - everyone is worried about whether a car with 2600 miles on it is a good investment. Geez....The Kid is on it though - of course he'll turn it into another garrage queen right next to his other one the Zanardi. Oh well to each his own!

The fact that the 400k cluster is now missing takes away the novelty of this car for me. Now it just becomes another rollback victim on the next Carfax or Autocheck and nobody will ever be able to really verify the mileage. I would have loved to see this car roll 500,000 with the cluster -- and other documentation -- to back it up. Oh well. Sounds like the price was right and the car's in good hands so have fun with it!
I guess you can laugh at them. These certain people are just trying to keep their car in great condition to maybe sell down the line for an ok price?
Is there a way for you to see if the guy still has the broken 400k mile cluster? I would pay you a finders fee in order to get a hold of that. Seriously.
the guy that i bought the car from is shady for some reason i tried to get a hold of him befor to ask him for the cluster and he gets nervous,like im gonna call the cops on him for changing the cluster but oh well wish he had had the cluster
but like i said i love the car i couldn't afford a new one so this is good for me
its paid for :smile: and i dont owe anybody a dime thats the best part of life to be debt free. i have fun with my other babies (04 sti) :biggrin: ill keep updates
im never selling the car so the updates will be slow but it will turn out good at the end. if the motor ever goes out ill invest in a 3.2 with a 6speed trans.
