1991 Formula Red 100k Miles And Very Original on 2040-cars
Oakland, California, United States
|
Reluctantly selling my gorgeous '91 NSX in very nice condition with original paint. For those of you in the know, this is the first year of production and this vehicle is outside the snap ring range. I acquired this car about 4 years ago with 90K miles, after having owned a Ferrari 308, Mercedes SLK, etc. Since it's previous service history was unknown, I immediately had a full engine-out service done, including new water pump, belts, seals, etc. A couple of years ago, I had it at an Acura dealer and they noted that there was an active service recall for the cooling system, so again it had a new water pump, plus several hoses, coolant tubes, et al. It's also received new rear brake pads, a clutch servo hose, air conditioning recharge and other minor items. As a weekend pleasure car, the mileage is now just over 100K.
The car is nearly stock, with a few modifications. There is some sort of racing clutch in it, very stiff to operate, but it does not slip. The interior was redone at some point in red and black and is in excellent shape with the exception of the driver's side outside bolster, which is starting to crack. There is a red/black MOMO gearshift knob, and I have had the factory cellphone removed from the center console and replaced with a US Spec ipod interface connected to the stock Bose sound system. This also necessitated the removal of the 6-disc CD changer from the trunk, which yields more luggage space. All of these removed pieces, including the intact wiring harnesses are included with the car. When I got the car, it was lowered with 18 and 19 inch TSW Kyalami wheels and ultra low profile tires. They looked great, but the car was way too low for practical city roads and potholes, so I swapped it out for stock springs. I added new General UHP rubber in the rears and ran this setup until last year when potholes finally took their toll. The right front wheel lost its center hub and the wheel rim was dented. Even though it still held air and ran true, I didn't feel confident, so I now have a set of near mint stock NSX wheels, in 15's and 16's with Falken Azeni's. This setup handles almost as well as the aftermarket wheels and is much more practical. The rears will need replacement soon. The aftermarket wheels/tires are also included and could be remounted if desired. This has been my dream car and I have really enjoyed it, but the time has come to sell. I now am developing a vineyard and winery in the Sierra foothills and need a more practical car for my frequent commutes when I don't take the truck. If you're looking for a well-sorted, very clean and stock NSX, you won't find a nicer one at this price. Just passed smog and California registration renewed to March, 2015. Serious inquiries only. You've got to have the money as it would be difficult to finance a car like this. Cheers |

2014 Acura RLX replaces SH-AWD with P-AWS
Wed, 28 Nov 2012After teasing us with the thinly veiled concept earlier this year, Acura has officially taken the wraps off its all-new flagship sedan, the 2014 Acura RLX. Aside from its huge step forward in terms of styling and luxury, the new RLX could very well be the most advanced Acura model ever.
While the previous RL could have been one of the blandest luxury sedans of its time, the RLX builds on stylish cues introduced this year on the ILX and RDX. One of the car's signature elements is its jewel-eyed LED headlights that could end up rivaling Audi for the most distinctive in the business. The rear view of the car isn't as unique as the front, but no less attractive with LED taillights that have a slight BMW vibe and odd, chrome-ringed reflectors at the bottom of the fascia. The interior is exactly what we've come to expect from Acura with its dual-brow instrument panel and a sporty three-spoke steering wheel.
On the technology front, the RLX debuts driving features such as Precision All-Wheel Steer (P-AWS), Adaptive Cruise Control with a low-speed follow feature and Agile Handling Assist while the interior gets a high-end Krell audio system, cloud-based AcuraLink and a multi-angle back camera. P-AWS allows the RLX actively and independently adjust the angle of the rear wheels for better agility and braking. Acura ended up cutting almost 275 pounds from the RLX's curb weight (compared to the RL) thanks to the use of high-strength steel and aluminum.
Acura ZDX getting the axe after 2013 despite new updates [w/poll]
Wed, 10 Oct 2012The Acura ZDX hasn't exactly lived a conventional existence, so perhaps we shouldn't be surprised that its death announcement isn't going according to standard industry protocol, either. Parent company Honda has taken the unusual step of trumpeting a refreshed-for-2013 model while simultaneously announcing that this will be the model's last year. According to Acura, the model's cancellation comes as the brand "sharpens its focus on new models and core products" like the forthcoming RLX sedan.
The audaciously styled crossover has been, to be charitable, a very reluctant seller since its 2009 introduction, but for 2013, Acura is jazzing up its concept car for the street with new kit. The changes include a lightly reworked front shield grille along with new power folding side mirrors and new tech features including lane departure and forward collision warning systems.
We'd say that announcing the model's discontinuation at the same time one is presenting a freshened model could hurt sales, but we're not sure there's anyone paying attention. Last year, Acura managed to shift just 1,564 units of the ZDX, giving it the No. 4 spot on our Worst Sellers of 2011 list. Through September, Automotive News reports that only 642 examples have been sold in 2012, making it one of the rarest new cars on the market.
Acura RLX Sport Hybrid SH-AWD set for LA debut
Fri, 01 Nov 2013Acura has announced that it will be showing the production version of the RLX Sport Hybrid SH-AWD at the 2013 Los Angeles Auto Show. You'll recall that the standard 3.5-liter V6-powered RLX has been on sale for some time, and that our review of Acura's flagship sedan was mixed. On paper, at least, the RLX Sport Hybrid SH-AWD should fare better.
Sporting a similar hybrid powertrain to the one expected to motivate the NSX supercar, the RLX uses a 3.5-liter V6 paired with a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission and a trio of electric motors to generate 377 horsepower, net a combined fuel economy of 30 miles per gallon and offer the security and performance of torque-vectoring all-wheel drive.
The RLX will hit the LA stand on November 20. Scroll down for the full press release from Acura.
