My new Type R!

[kye]

Dear All, I would like to introduce my new NSX-R, she is a 1994 model, championship white, all original and number 239 produced.

I have owned many of these fantastic machines over the years and have met so many great people all over the world because of a common love of all things NSX!

I started the journey in 1996 buying a 91 Red/black then in 2002 a 94 Sebring silver and in 2005 a 98-T with a little extra .. a CTSC. Its always been a dream however to own one of the earlier R's and now here she is!

Enjoy :smile:

Cheers, Kye

Ok now, seriously, how did you find one!?

Because I have been looking for one for years!

Congrats!

 

[kye]

Living in Japan helps ... but to find one is hard and to find one that has not been repaired or modified is even harder .. there are literally only 3 or 4 of the earlier NA1 for sale at a time across the country. Prices are climbing also but not as crazy as the NA2 have become.

Congrats on the NA1 NSX-R!

Hey, I remember that '98 parked near the entrance at the Motegi at the 20th anniversary. Sounded mean. Had all Acura badges, right?

Congrats

 

[scammy]

was that the one up for auction about 3 weeks ago

 

[CStricker]

That's f'n awesome! Congrats.

Is that antenna stock?

 

[NSX9]

Nice one!!!!! Your "old" car was fantastic but this is really something.
Have been lucky enough to drive an orig R here in Australia and was really impressed with the motor and suspension , seemed to have a lot more torque which is emphasized with the short gearing.

Have fun!!!
Cheers,
Scott

 

[Night Prowler]

Wow that is unreal! Congrats!

 

[Tokyo-Joe]

Hi,
Ponyboy, that car was an Acura that I bought when living in CA and shipped back to Japan, drove it for 7 years in Japan, an awesome machine! miss it a lot specially the power and scream from the SC!

Scammy, she didnt come from an auction, I bought her from Route KS down in Suzuka which is the shop that deals mainly in Type-Rs. It was the only NA1 they had but they have plenty of NA2 if you have 200,000 USD + to spend ...

Cstricker, the antenna is not stock, I am not sure what brand it is but I like it better than the stock version. I wont be listening to music in the car anyway not with the Honda symphony going on behind me :biggrin:

Interesting thing I looked into sending her on the Honda Refresh plan, the condition of the car is excellent but still a refresh on a 20 year old car would be nice, there is a 6 month waiting list and a cost of around 6 million yen (60,000 dollars) !! wont be doing that then for a while...

Cheers, Kye

Very clean and original example of the "R" Kye, I would love to add a Type R someday soon.

 

[felixR]

[RYU]

Fantastic! The "Honda Symphony" was my reasoning in buying an NSX with a blown DS speaker too, especially with no engine cover :tongue:.

Your NSX-R looks amazing, and you truly have the envy of many (if not all) here.

Drive the badges of her! Congratulations.
