Description
This 1997 Acura NSX has just 39,300 miles from new and is powered by its factory 3.2 liter VTEC V6 paired to a 6-speed manual transmission. This example is finished in Formula Red and was acquired by the seller earlier the year. In 2003 at 21k miles, a Comptech low-boost supercharger kit was professionally installed along with an aftermarket exhaust system and lowering springs. Work included a new timing belt/water pump, all new coolant hoses, a valve adjustment, and much more as detailed below. Acura of Brookfield also installed the low-boost Comptech supercharger kit on 5/29/2003 at 21,638 miles, which the seller removed in September 2016.This car has been thoroughly inspected by seller, who has owned three other NSXs. No evidence of any prior accidents or bodywork has been found, and the car retains all of its factory panels and paint with the exception of a scratch that was recently repaired on the lower front valence. Paint flaws consist of a few touch-ups on the rear bumper, several small scratches, normal age-related light road wear on the front of the car, and a few small dings that the seller could not get his camera to pick up.In January 2003, the prior owner had lowering springs and an aftermarket exhaust fitted. The seller returned the car to stock in September 2016 by replacing both items with OEM parts as per the factory ride height and exhaust tips shown above. Overall, the seller describes this NSX as being in very nice shape throughout with clean original paint and all factory glass in great shape.This NSX retains its factory chrome alloy wheels, which are wrapped in Bridgestone Potenza tires at all four corners with plenty of tread remaining according to the seller. The car was just aligned by Ed Martin Acura in Indianapolis and the ABS pump was replaced, followed by a flush of the entire brake system with new ATE fluid. The wheels themselves are said to remain free of any rash or scrapes, though one of the rear wheels has a few areas of chrome starting to flake off. The spare tire, pump, and tools are all intact and in serviceable condition as per the photo gallery below.Inside, this NSX remains stock down to the factory stereo and shift knob. The seller describes the seats to be in well-preserved condition with minimal wear on the driverâ??s seat bolster. The original carpets remain clean and are covered by factory floor mats.According to the seller, there is little of the common bubbling seen on the console and switch panels. All instrumentation, electrics, and accessories are said to be in working order including the stock radio, cold A/C, and the recently repaired climate control board.The factory 3.2 liter VTEC V6 engine and 6-speed manual transmission are now stock and in very good running condition according to the seller.
