Dude!
Nice low vin number!
The keyless entry originally for this car is not available anymore from Acura.
I have been looking for a used complete kit for years.
The 92 up are all different than our 91's.
Those tires are not available as far as I can find out.
You can get some pretty good cross boarder prices from Flat Irons Acura, call Coby @ 1-303-442-2544. We have done a lot of business with them this fall and spring. He is real good to work with and the freight thing. He will ship parcel post which is great for us Canadians.
His email is [email protected] , sometimes it doesn't work for me though.
You can try Chris at Science of Speed as well for the mats and stuff.
I have a set of Zanardi black/red coming up for 99.00 us with my engine and ctsc.

SOS is a good source for mats - keyless - I think I've seen some for sale "around" but you can just put in an aftermarket system - the genuine acura fob is Sh1t IMO - I like the Audi style keys soooooooo much better.
Steering rack? Why? the power has different ratios I'm sure and if you could figure out the wiring harness issues (Its electric PS) I don't know how it would marry up to your existing set up.
If you find steering a problem, where and when do you experience issues?
IMO, you should be able to address these with a combo of alignment and slightly skinnier tires (eg OEM 215 use 205)
BTW - you should come to Est Fest! Read the thread - but book NOW or you'll end up paying $250 a night IF they have a room for you!

thanks Ffffanman for all your info's it'll surely help me! does your 1991 NSX is vin 800045 and does it's manufactured in 7/1990 like my NSX ?
Thanks Red for your reply, i'll maybe like to upgrade to assited electric steering because a low speed my manual 1991 NSX seem weighty esp. when park the car... :smile:
Yep, you can upgrade the steering rack to the Electric, but it will cost a bit $$.
Here is what you will need...
- Electric Steering rack
- Electric control unit
- Wiring harness
- Computer for electric computer
This list is not by any means complete, however, these are the big items.
PS: If you want an electric rack, drop me a PM.

Trev is right for the 1991 and 1992 the wire harness had been discontinued for some time, you can still get the main brain for the 1992 which again is different than the 1991(not available),but is useless if u have no harness to hook into it.For 1993+ you can still order it but will not fit in older cars.
If you search around you can get the trunk and floor mats online for reasonable, Acura dealers, SOS, DaliRaceing.
Here is OEM Acura part # 08P11-SL0-211 Mat Trunk NSX $95.20 US
Here is listed both mats $82 and trunk $90 if thay have sound like a good buy.

You will find that different tires make a huge difference to the low speed steering feel of your NSX. I remember with OEM rubber on mine using both hands on the wheel to turn it when I was backing up.
Once I went to some PS2s it lightened up considerably. The suspension settings help as well. You can have your cars suspension changed or adjusted to prevent the 6000km tire replacement phenomena while keeping the amazing handling intact.
That is much cheaper, and easier, and will result in a nice upgrage, compared to the steering rack you're considering.
