Here’s Why the Original Acura NSX Is Shooting Up in Value

[@kimber1911]

So a fun story about the NSX. I worked as an engineer at the Honda Anna Engine Plant in Ohio back in the late 90's. They had an employee improvement plan where as you made suggestions for improvement, you got points if that improvement was implemented. At the end of the year you could spend your points on gifts, etc. One prize was a weekend with the NSX (we had one at our factory parked outside with other fleet vehicles). My supervisor won the NSX for a weekend and he took me out in it over a lunch break. We tore up the back roads for a half hour. It was an amazing experience!

[@yosuik]

Hi Doug, the "Half Antenna" button wasn't only for aesthetic purposes. It was so you don't damage the antenna when you drive your NSX inside buildings with low ceilings or low roof parking areas, a common thing in Japan. Also because the antenna was something like 50 cm long at full length.

[@newtoncraftmc]

was thinking about this but i feel like it would still be low enough not to matter since the car is already so low. More likely for high speed to prevent damage is my guess.

Excellent review, Doug, as usual. I just wanted to add a few points that I think are important and worth to be mentioned: Honda is still manufacturing and providing ALL PARTS for the NSX cars up to date, no matter which year it's been built. Moreover, later models parts are compatible with earlier ones, they are fully interchangeable. You can even change earlier popping lights to late fixed ones or vice versa. The blank button on the console of the model you reviewed is for the headlights height setting which curiously was an option. The NSX was the first mass production car that had a full aluminum chassis. Last fact/feature: the engine was the first in the world to have titanium rods to improve the revs

[@victorzaccardo]

Honda manufacturing all parts has not been my experience, a lot of NSX-specific, non-maintenance parts are now discontinued - windshields, for example. If you have a source for parts I'd be interested :)

[@drytoon1507]

@@victorzaccardo well I'm sorry to read that. In France there is an NSX club who can maybe help you. I'll check to find their contact. Now maybe it will not work for parts like lights or bumpers cause safety regulations are different but for the rest of the parts it should be OK. I'll check and get back to you 👍

[@jaylestingi]

NSX rods were an alloy that actually only have a small amount of titanium. Rods in the C6 Z06 were actually full forged titanium aftermarket rods supplied by either Pankl or Mahle.

[@modsurgeon]

That is probably not accurate I'm afraid; either in availability or interchangeability. Case in point would be the cruise control module (don;t remember the exact part name). The module in my '99 died, and it was not available any longer. Unfortunately several different P/N modules were used, and it is a guess as to whether or not interchangeability is possible. It might be, but it's a rather high cost risk to take as they are generally not returnable, even from Honda/Acura. That said, this was my experience. I may have a lazy dealership, so if you have a supplier, I'm all open to suggestion.

[@jamesyu4901]

Great review Doug! As an NSX owner I never noticed that the AC recirc buttons were profiled as a "bloated NSX" cool to point out the quirk. A few corrections: the original NSX has 270 HP not 250, and you said that this is somewhat of an ordinary engine. I would say that is in fact an extraordinary engine; it was Honda's first VTEC "yo" in a production car, it also has titanium connecting rods and an 8,000 rpm redline. Honda was at it's peak in F1 racing during that era and they wanted to show off with the NSX. So, that's not your everyday minivan V6. The wheels are 15" in front as you said, but they are 16" in the rear. It was purposely double staggered to make room for a dead pedal and to make the pedal placement proper (unlike it's Italian competition) and to make a low sleek hood-line. Those little wheels are super light since they are forged. By the way from the factory they came with bespoke super soft and sticky Yokohamas and a what many would consider a "track alignment" so grip was incredible even with the relatively small contact patches. This is also the 30th anniversary of the NSX. Unfortunately it's during covid so Honda could not have a big celebration of it's cost-no-object, hand built, 90's flagship vehicle this year. And yes the ignition key is cool too, it's heavy as you mentioned, but it's also made of Monel alloy which does not react to sweat. One final design aspect to point out--the whole chassis and body is aluminum, a first for production cars, and its a semi-monocoque design, not your typical uni-body. So the NSX is special, and people like me who wanted one in high school can finally attain one. That's really why the prices are steadily rising.

[@NSXTRA]

TLDR. It’s just a spicy Honda Accord with a body kit and the engine in the wrong hole

[@sketch242]

He was half right. The automatics were 250 hp, but the manuals were 270 hp. Also all of the 3.2L engines were 290 hp, but rated at 276 hp in Japan due to the gentleman's agreement.

[@DAYTASAN]

It was also the first "production" car with an electric power steering system when the 95-96 NA1s came out (and the NA2s from 97-05). I have a 97 and I love the fact that the electric assist turns off once you hit 37MPH so you have much more steering feel at higher speeds...don't know why other car companies haven't implemented a similar design because it works beautifully IMO.

[@evanlowry1322]

@D W, correction for your correction. The model he reviewed is from Japan where they have the “gentlemen” agreement where HP is limited. And in the US, the Acura NSX had two engines. The manual 3.0V6 is 270hp while the automatic 3.0V6 is 252hp. In Japan, all Honda NSX uses the detuned 252hp engine regardless of manual or auto. However, in the US because it’s badged as an Acura instead of Honda, the manual is tuned to 270hp to distinguish it from the lesser Honda brand.
