Although I'm not a fan of jap cars I have to say that is a very pretty and obviously very well cared for motor

Very very nice.

I always remember driving the red NSX that Harold McGarrity used to own. That was nearly 10 years ago and one of the most memorable drives I've ever had. Brilliant cars these. I think few people actually appreciate them.

a car of that quality and it gets an eonon radio.

lovely in red

Only in it to fill the void, there is basically no sound system in it anymore. All the oem speakers and amps are gone, just 2 small tweeters exist for background sound. Once the NSX-R console arrives the rest of the system is going.

Such an Epic Jap car Sudesh - I take it took quite some time to find a mint one?

This car has not aged in looks and stance at all, still "wow's" me as much as it did when it was first released

great photos Sudesh, the interior is flawless

keep the pics coming with any updates (y)

Yeah seats are on the list! I'm after the NSX-R seats but at around £35k for just two seats and rails it's hard to justify. So keeping an eye out for some used ones in Japan but hard to get and still cost big money

Thanks everyone for the comments so far

Lovely car, and I'm sure the weight loss can only help it. Just for reference, an EK Civic Vti weighs around 1100kg so this car is only slightly heavier than that, hence the 300bhp is more than enough even if it doesn't seem high by standards of today's supercars.

It did, that's why I ended up buying mine in Japan. I wanted something specific with no power steering and in Japan the options are alot better, i bought this car with just 15.000miles but paid alot more than what would get a UK car for as the NSX is more expensive in Japan than anywhere else. But I wanted a clean one, low miles and certain spec so was well pleased when I found this.

I've always owned the number so maybe you seen it on some of my old cars through the years.

realistically how fast are these?
M3 CSL fast from what i recall from a few years ago;):party:(y)

No power steering?!?! You're game lol!!! Did it come like that or did you remove it :confounded: The seats will weigh an absolute ton as you know, not just buy a couple of buddyclub or the likes instead of the cost of a new car on seats from the R??? :eek:
