Seller Description

This 1997 Acura NSX-T was purchased in November 2018 and now shows just under 79k miles. Approximately 6 years ago, a previous owner commissioned a repaint, refurbished the interior, and added suspension, drivetrain, intake, and exhaust components from Science of Speed. Additionally, a Kenne Bell supercharger was fitted to the 3.2-liter VTEC V6 and the 6-speed transmission received a Science of Speed sport clutch. A 60k-mile service has also been completed, including a new timing belt. This NSX is now being offered with around seven years of service records covering major alterations, extra parts including the original wheels and various removed OEM parts, a Carfax report, and a clean Ohio title in the seller’s name.Exterior: According to Carfax, this car was sold new in Wisconsin. It was damaged January 2001, including body damage and air bag deployment. A frame measurement report shows that the structure is within factory spec. This car was repainted approximately six years ago, and the front bumper skirt, lower lip, and driver’s lower panel were replaced at that time. A Guppy antenna has also been fitted, and paint was color corrected and ceramic coated in 2018. Suspension: The modified suspension system utilizes Bilstein struts, Science of Speed adjustable anti-sway bars with Cedar Ridge non-compliance end links, Cedar Ridge front suspension compliance clamps, Science of Speed non-compliance rear beam bushings, Cedar Ridge toe links, Cedar Ridge pivot clamps, and JDM Honda NSX-R front and lower chassis reinforcement bars. Other alterations include a Science of Speed urethane steering rack bushing kit and rebuilt/repainted brake calipers. New brake rotors and Hawk HPS pads were installed all around in May 2019. Michelin Pilot Sport 4P tires (Nov 2017 date code) are installed over 17”/18” OZ Ultraleggera alloy wheels.Interior: Inside,a previous owner refreshed the cabin with carbon fiber trim, a new carbon fiber and leather steering wheel rim, and more as depicted in the gallery. The factory radio has been replaced with a double DIN JVC KW-M740BT head unit that supports Bluetooth, Apple CarPlay/Android Auto and a backup camera. The previous owner added a 300 watt Hertz amplifier, subwoofer and a Homelink garage door opening system. Engine: The mid-mounted 3.2-liter VTEC V6 is equipped with a Kenne Bell/ Science Of Speed supercharger, a Laminova air/water aftercooler, a Science Of Speed high-flow catalytic converter set, and a Science of Speed Endura Lite exhaust system. A custom fabricated shock tower brace is fitted over the engine. Due to the supercharger and strut brace, the stock engine cover no longer fits over the engine and is removed. The OEM radiator overflow tank, radiator support brackets and fuse box cover was hydrodipped in carbon fiber look. The 60k-mile service was completed, including a new timing belt, water pump, valve cover gasket, A/C belt, air cleaner and fuel filter, tie rod adjusting bolt, brake lines and master cylinder, plus a comprehensive fluid service.Transmission: The 6-speed manual transmission was fitted with a new Science of Speed Sport 350 clutch in June 2019, which compliments a lightened flywheel and deleted clutch damper. A short shift kit is also installed along with a shorter lever, Zanardi-style boot, and Turner knob as shown above.Performance: This car produced 390.6 wheel horsepower in August 2015 as shown above (note that the 1997 date was a default in the system and is incorrect). Records and Extras: A binder of maintenance and modification records covering the past 6 years is included, as well as a three-page modification description compiled by the previous owner. Also included in the sale are a number of removed OEM parts, including the original 7 spoke wheels, engine cover, intake and exhaust manifolds, spare tire and more.
