Yeah, Honda engineered the NSX to the hilt, and they do hand build them. I still think they cost too much for what you get, though.

I agree, but it is no.1 an Acura. It's mid-engined with a great engine plus the ease of control.It could however use a great power boost and drop of price by about 20k

I'm glad we can agree on something.

it's a better car for a girl that doesn't like working on cars than the rx7. IMO

You are still looking at alot of money for a turbo conversion since the engien bay is some-what crowded. Alot of plumbing required and upgrades to handle a turbo. You'll spend 10k easily to have it done right.

I've seen the SC kit in one and it was very neat looking and it fit just right. SC would be the easier project.

Dished pistons are the only way I would go about lowering an NSXs C/R.

Messing with the stroke would mean reengineering the whole engine, and its already pretty well setup from Honda.

Good luck with it if you do turbo it. Not a very forgiving engine bay from what I hear
