Hi, In my service book it says
1. Model Code N58
2. Model NSX
3. Vehicle Identification Number 0000955
4. Engine Number 100768
It is a 3.0 litre manual trans car with no power steering, which was the spec I had been looking for.What I am trying to find out, is how many cars were produced with manual steering. I heard that Honda received complaints from customers about how heavy the steering was while parking, and that from a certain date, all cars were fitted with power steering. Does anyone know what that date was, or from which chassis no.? Automatic cars were usually fitted with power steering.
Also, I have been told that total production in 1994 was 917 cars, of which 104 were sold in Europe, does anyone know how many of that 104 came to UK.
Regards, loonykev

Power steering was introduced on manuals in 1994 in the UK. Less to go wrong with manual steering.

Thanks for that information, no power steering means also less weight?, and definitely more feel/feedback.
