Honda Nsx

[NickR33]

I was looking at NSXs a few days ago... was dissapoint

I had to re-read the for sale ads a couple of times because I thought there was something wrong with my eyes... but there it was on every ad, AUTO... FFS this makes no sense to me!

NSX-R would be super nice to own

[zebra]

Yeah no idea why they even made them with a slush box.

But then again people where whinging that the macca f1 and fezza f50 were manual only

[iseekool]

Any way these can be brought in ? Looking locally, there isn't much around. Most seem to go for $50-60k and up and is virtually impossible to find a manual...

Some are 20 years old now. Can get them for around $30k from the US - LHD obviously

Love the NSX - was my dream car, but damn those prices are pretty much R34 GTR money.

As much as I cannot figure out why anyone would ever want an auto NSX - guess that there are so many of the fkn things about tells you why Honda offered them like that.

I was looking at one the other week. I reckoned given it is a 20 year old design it stands up really well. The car was in really good nick too - it had done something like 200,000kms.

There was a genuine personal import NSX-R here in Adelaide for private sale a while back for $75K - ended up going back to Japan

Kinda read the thread, scanned over Zebra's sandy-vag posts when he started jibber-jabber about rotten 348 Fezzas

The NSX is a good thing, and a great thing in 3.2 litre form. I've driven a 3 litre in auto and manual, and passengered in a 3.2 manual. The auto was truly appalling, and the factory tuned them for less power (like an RX8) 180KW was the auto number from memory, with 205KW for the manual in 3 litre form. The auto really was a farken marshmellow. My theory is many rich blokes bought their wives one to look sporty and sexy, but drive easily.

I'd LOVE a Type R of any vintage, later the better though. It would need to be a truly special R34 GTR to make me choose the GTR is the price were similar. It's not ALWAYS about outright grunt you heathens!

[Iron Chef]

I can tell you I nearly considered selling my very special GTR to buy the aforementioned NSX-R, so I get the concept

[Marlin]

I reckon if I had seen said Type-R, I woulda bought it (assuming it wasn't a roughy).

I wouldn't buy a 348, even if it were a superb example...... they're simply a bucket of bolts.

Besides muscle car replicas, there aren't much you can buy for the money that will pull as many stares = value for money. Reliability and part replacement is the only thing that would concern me in owning one.

NSX was and still is the best looking car that ever* came out of Japan. FD RX7 a close second. Come at me brah.

[Beer Baron]

we are on the same page marlin. if i'd seen a nice 02 model NSXR for $75K that was in decent nick I'd probably be going to the bank too... agree as well that it'd need to be a special R34 to make me want it over a nice NSXR. yeah I've driven the manual and it was fking lovely. passenger in the auto and it was rubbish, I was offered a drive and actually didn't want to... very rare for me as i'll drive anything.

anyway, all we can do is dream as there are just not many good ones out here.

well its a Honda so reliability not a huge issue and they made plenty of the world wide so I'm sure in the age of the internet parts would be easy enough to get your hands on

NSX > FD.................. massive call brah! I'll have one of each

[Beer Baron]

on the topic of NSX, global often have some HOT ones. when I was there to visit my mate who works there back in october we checked out some nice ones.

this one is super hot.

[Beer Baron]

this was spectacular too. complete with 3.2 and nice pearl white paint.

also try looking up some pics of the tracy sports time attack NSX. close to the loudest race car I've ever heard! the NA Spoon NSX is awesome too.

That is how they should look.

Not a fan of GT wings on them

This is exactly what i want in red. Is it wrong to be in love with a car?

CMon Chef you must know some dodgey back door bandit way :-)

yeah I love the FD. they got it right with the last series 8 models. they just look perfect. all I did to mine was carbon mirror panels (covers the little triangle where mirrors are normally mounted). I'd have one again. they are also beautifully balanced and so fun to drive.

[zebra]

I would have any RX7 Again

Damn I miss my Ser.3

[Beer Baron]

ok one more. this one pretty hot, fairly standard body but with nice 3.5L 400hp toda engine!
