NSX-R NA1 vs. NA2 Bake-Off
- Thread starter MAJOR STONER
- Start date
I just created a 2009 NSX-R Calender 6-NA1 pics / 6-NA2 pics. I just need to review picture quality and format. Approximately $20.00 for the calender.
Thanks to Major Stoner for posting pics.
NICE,
The NA1 interior is one of the best looking interiors of any car just love the suede and the stitching

I love the modern front end
Oh I like this thread. More pix please... 
You always want what you can't have. Simple as that.

The suede interior looks amazing. That should have been a factory option for all cars! Still, I'll take the NA2.
I'll have to dig them up but I've got pics of the NA1 Type R from a Honda brochure that had no antenna on the left q panel. i.e. completely shaved since it wasn't an option at all in the NA1R.
Just to revive such a great thread.
new desktops for a year!
how do the na1 wheels differ from 2000-2001 oem 'solaris' wheels except for color? i know na2 are slightly lighter but na1?
I am loving that NA1 interior!
From what I can tell, if you order a Type R whether it's NA1 or NA2 without the stereo, the antenna is shaved as I've seen both NA1 and NA2 with shaved drivers side quarter panel antennas.
I showed this thread to a couple of non-NSX/non-Honda people at work, and both of them said they liked the NA1 look, which I found interesting.
For some reason, I thought the NA1 / Series 1 NSX-R had these kind of 5 spoke wheels...(toy model shown for a better angle)
they did. the larger wheels came in 94 as an option.

I might be flamed for this, but I never thought the NA1 R looked good. In fact I think it looks down right outdated. The white with the pop ups hides all of the cool lines and bumps in the front end, yet it shows the unflattering parts like that big bar that goes across the lower bumper. The rear end of a pre 02 is very very old looking and looks like its missing pieces from it. Like its a incomplete design. The white also makes the car looks narrower than it really is.
The NA2 R on the other than is pure SEX!!! I don't know how such small changes such has the vented hood, flush color matched head lights, different front bumper, lower rocker moldings, a more fuller lower rear valence with a diffusor with a taller wing, and tail lights that didn't look like it came out of the 80's would make such a huge difference in the way the car looks.

I'm just gonna have to totally disagree with you on this one.
The Series 2 Type R rear wing looks like an aftermarket piece from a "Fast & Furious" movie, the front headlights look borrowed from a Mitsubishi 3000GT, the new nose looks like it "hair-lips" up to clear parking curbs, and the "filled-in" lower rocker panels make the car look heavier.
I was just never a fan of the 2002 "face lift"...but I think the HSC concept looks killer!
Than we will have to agree to disagree. To me the NA1 R looks cheap, non purposeful, and cookie cutter. Nothing about it screams exotic. In fact it reminds me an awful lot like a S13 hatch back.
Then would it be correct to say that you feel all pre 02 NSX's look cheap, cookie cutter and non purposeful. That they remind you of a S13
