I accidentally bought a black 93 on eBay. Had it shipped sight unseen and just got it back from the detailer. I wish I would of spent a little time on here before I bought it but it's mine now hoping I'll find a yellow or orange one soon and sell the black one. I also have a 2017 nsx. IMG_0051.jpg
 
Welcome to the owner's club! Nice collection. If you're not already aware of it, there's a great resource on this site called the NSX Wiki which can be found on the red action bar at the top of most pages. It's sort of a 'distilled' and organized version of all the FAQ and thread info and has sections on general info; maintenance/repairs; mods; etc. so you might want to familiarize yourself with it. The downside is that it was an ongoing project and due to site software issues, hasn't been updated in a number of years. However, you just bought an early one that hasn't really changed in 24 years either. The alternative is to search the forums; get hundreds of thread results; and then spend hours scanning them for what you're looking for ... or just go to the Wiki to probably find it faster but if you can't, go back to searching threads. Or if you're lazy, just join the NSX Facebook group(https://www.facebook.com/groups/nsxowners/); act like a milleniall; and ask someone for the answer; and then try to figure out if they actually know what they're talking about. If you're looking for parts, both sites have 'for sale' items. The two vendors with the most wide variety of NSX parts are Science of Speed and Euro Boutique although there are many small vendors of one or two unique parts on here. For power adders, Science of Speed has turbo and supercharger kits as does Driving Ambition (I believe); APX (Canada) and Lovefab offer turbos; for tuners and NSX specialists, there was a map on the home page.
Hope that answers some of your questions.

You should be aware that the Gen 1 NSXs require a major service (timing belt, etc) to be done every 7-9 years or 80k miles so hopefully the prior owner of yours did scheduled maintenance that you have a record of. If not, or if it hasn't been done in the last 9 years, you'll want to have it done soon or risk major engine damage if the belt let's go. It's not just miles .. it's the lesser of the two .. belts can deteriorate with age even if it's low miles.

Have fun with it. It will seem underpowered compared to your Gen 2 but others praise the analog feel of everything. Enjoy.

Ian thanks for the detailed welcome. I must be getting old because I want to keep the nsx stock...did I really just say that? What I'm scared of is how quick projects Snoball. I wanted to bump power on my Supra and a few years later I'm over 1k horsepower and unstreetable. Same with the skyline. I blew factory turbos went in to replace and now it full blown built single. I think wheels and tires will be only mod on my gen 1. I have however looked at being the pilot for Hennessy on the gen 2 but they seem super high to be a guini pig.

You might want to check out what Science of Speed is doing re: Gen 2
For Gen 1 wheel stuff .. here's a good start: http://nsxprime.com/wiki/Wheel-Tire_Experiences There's also a link on that page which takes you to a thread started by Prime member Angus with current feedback on choices
