Agree with above post on seals and gaskets on the NSX. I am going to put my car back on the road this summer and will let all know what, if any, problems I incur. I am an aircraft mechanic and in a former life, a Porsche mechanic, and I can assert with some conviction that the NSX build quality does not predispose it to leaks and bad seals. Yes, yes, I know, time dries things out, etc. My car is stored in a humidity and temperature controlled environment, and when I put her back on the road this year, I do not anticipate many, if any, age related problems. I may be wrong, but I think the aging seals problem is somewhat an old wives tale. In my experience I have seen many old airplanes sit for years only to be put back in service and fly for hours with no little or no problems. I have also seen engines with 200 hours on them fail with broken rods out the sides of the cases.
Like Larry B. , one of the many reasons I bought the NSX instead of a Porsche was the fantastic build quality and reliability of the Honda family of products.
In any event I can't wait to put more miles on my NSX. Remember, some garage queens are so not because we want them to be. Circumstances are different for all.
