Official Unveiling on Japanese Honda Site: NEW NSX
- Thread starter scottjua
- Start date
Sweet! Nice find! I wonder when the american site will have this stuff.
Just looking through here (and not understanding any of the language) I have found a couple of things.
New CD= .30
Tires are 215/40R17, 255/40R17
3.2 L Engine rated at 280ps (same, I think)
New armrest that splits in half and has two cupholders.
The rear end looks like the NSX-R.. nice.
Brakes are 298mm/ 303mm (Same as current according to NSX prime FAQ). Which is a little disappointing.
Thats about all I can find.
------------------
NetViper -= 100% Stock EBP 2000 Civic Si =- Still looking to get an NSX, but at least I can live life at 8,000 RPM!

the site also has something called a refresh plan that sounds interesting.
Using this site, you can convert almost all of it to english. Its not the best. But it is readable.
http://babel.altavista.com/sites/babelfish/tr
Here is the translation for the Refresh Program:
- Basic refreshment
1 NSX basic maintenance course in order for you to ride in the thorough condition. It consists the engine and suspension adjustment et cetera, also actual running check with test course is included.
- Functional department refreshment
After doing the alignment adjustment of suspension with the basic refreshment, the front & you exchange the rear damper to the new item. It becomes set course of the basic refreshment.
- Appearance refreshment
It can select the body color of the taste from the midst of the custom color and standard color all color. It removes and re-installs the engine and suspension and et cetera bakes and paints, the front & the rear bumper, the ria exchanges Ra to the new item jauntily. It is possible also to designate the roof as body same color.
- Interior refreshment
Contents of custom order plan such as modification of interior color and stitch color all available.
Enjoy!

Wish I could read Japanese. Damn, I new there was something I missed in college.
yep...basically they will rebuild your car and make it like new again. Sounds pretty awesome...but I bet you could buy a ealry 90s NSX here for what they charge for that.
Beats me for sure though.
I hope the US market gets all the clolor and interior choices. It would be nice to see other colors around other than the most common black, red, and silver. No offence, all those colors are fine and I;d be happy with whatever. Just think we should have the choice of more.

I've been spedning the last half hour or so translating all the pages and reading them.
I'll say it again, I like the new rear styling for the exhaust. I want to see it in person. If it still looks that good, I will be ordering one from Acura as soon as it becomes available in the US.
After reports that the rear styling on the NSXR was actually part of an entire underbody diffuser/tray made of carbon fiber, I thought it would be exclusive to the NSXR. I'm glad they did something similar with the production model, although I'm sure it's just a bumper piece on the stock model.

I remember reading an article a few years ago in Road & Track talking about this refreshment program for the NSX. At that time they said the price for the complete rebuild was approximately $30K. And I don't think that covered the cost of shipping to Japan.
That custom Green color is nasty though..! yuck
Can they refresh an early car with later-model mechanicals ?? Can they get parts from the "special" models (type R, S, etc)
Get a manual-shift coupe w/o power steering, with a 6-speed 3.2L motor, with the Type R suspension ??
also has an online magazine called NSXpress (for NSX freaks) that is already into 25+ volumes
Anyone get these translated yet ??

The refresh program is not new; it's been around all along.
AFAIK it is not available for North American NSX's, and even if it were, they certainly wouldn't make JDM parts available.

After reading the babelfish translation of the description of Long Beach Blue Pearl, I've got to see it. Sounds even better than the previous postings here about Monaco blue
Because time and the labor which are suitable to the treatment of color clearing where the Long Beach blue * pearl, although it is the color which has the vividness which is prominent, pulls the color taste of that paint and the paint even among them and raises are necessary, use to the mass production car is the color which is made unsuitable. If there is no special environment, factory and the Takanezawa factory of the NSX which efficiency compared to respects quality the special blue which cannot send out to world. It overflows in intense impact, the coloration and the expression, we would like you to verify regardless with that eye.

Have we determined what kind of OEM tires they are fitting? Yoko -- how about an AVS Sport in 215-40-17 ??
The rear end looks like the NSX-R.. nice.
The exhaust tips look updated, too.

Here's the link to the new NSX photo gallery (easy to miss without using the translator).

Like photo#1 (Long Beach Blue). Not too crazy about the blue interior.

The 2002 NSX-T is available on the Acura website. www.acura.com. Not as many colors as the Japanese page but still a good selection.....
Yes - based on what I can gather from my three semesters worth of Japanese in college, here is the owner demographic described in the site:
95% are male
80% have at least an undergrad degree
Average age is 46
Average income is $275k
