Due to a house-move, I'm gutted to have to think of selling my NSX. It's a car that I think is well-known to this board, having been owned for a while by gsuds. I bought in in Jan 2010 at 107k miles for a good price, knowing that there were various issues that needed to be fixed.
Basic spec
Silver 1993 NA1
Manual
111k miles
Later model wheels (if anyone can name the wheels for me, I'd be grateful!)
HID upgrade (dipped)
During several months spent with Plans Motorsport, it had:
new clutch & flywheel
major cambelt service
new front brake pads
four new knuckles (the part needed to replace a worn balljoint)
It's also just had two new front tyres.
As you can tell, it's had major ££££s spent, as my intention was to get it back to top condition and keep it for years. I'm not going to get back the money I spent on it, but that's life. Since getting it back from Plans, I've done ~800 miles/month in it, using it as a daily, and doing some long journeys, and it's been absolutely flawless. The engine is sweet, burning no oil, and on a recent tank (a few shorter journeys and then a stead run from Lancashire to London) it returned 28.9mpg!
The only bad bits I know of:
Lazy passenger window (just haven't got around to fixing this yet, as per: http://www.nsxprime.com/forums/showthread.php?t=135277 )
Partly seized automatic arial - it goes up/down maybe 75%
Slightly tired half-shafts - this causes no problem at all, apart from a slight noise on low-speed manoeuvring
A few paintwork blemishes which reflect its age & mileage
It's an ideal car for someone who just wants to enjoy an NA1 NSX for a while, safe in the knowledge that lots of the trouble areas have been dealt with.
