Hey Guys

I was thinking about trading in my 1993 R-1 for a 95 NSX, what you guys think about it, Should I or should I not? My R-1 has 104xxx miles in it. When I first bought the the owner place a new engine, new turbo, new paint, adjustable tokico shocks, he pretty much changed everything under the hood. It took me 2yrs of research to find this car. Dont get me wrong, I love this car but I think is time for a change.

 

NSXs are very nice sport car, handle like on rails. But at 280 bhp that seem off for an exotic sport car.

It is an unique car, not seeing one every day that for sure.

NSX rocks!

 

I think both cars are fantastic, if you're going for rarity and something that people don't see much, i think the NSX wins. Is this a car you plan on putting a lot of miles on? That's also something to think about.

 

I would. NSX=Honda reliability. You could drive that thing everyday for the rest of your life and be fine. Sure, theyre not powerhouses, but they make supercahrger and turbo kits for them. I think they rival FDs in the looks department, theyre a lot more rare, and they have a higher resale value. People arent afraid of buying an NSX.

But if you want my opionion. You cant go wrong with the NSX. I do believe the 95 had a 275 horse engine they didn't start making 290hp till 97. But you have to remember NSX's come with exotic car prices, the Clutch disk and pressure plate alone is 1500. So just bare that in mind when shopping around.

 

^^ Also, if you're not going to be working on this car yourself, maintanance is very expensive. Practically everything you will want to do to this car is going to be expensive

 

too many words...

NSX > RX7 = Yes

 

Get the NSX. Those 93 R-1's are junk

 

both are very rare, both are very fast, both are very sexy...it all comes down to you. MR Honda or FR Mazda...

 

its all about the honduh vtak!

 

If you want a close to stock car and can afford the NSX, give it a shot.

If you want a highly modded high horsepower car that is capable of outperforming viper, vettes and ferraris, stick wit the FD RX-7.

 

^^^Yeah, if you want a good looking car that will impress the ladies but not in the speed department, to with the NSX. If you want a good looking car that will impress the ladies and make them *** on your passenger seat, go with the FD.

 

Hi guys.

I'm planning to trade my 1993 R1 for an 93-94 NSX, what you guys think? The NSX is mostly all stock other than the after market rims and tires. It has close to 98,000 miles. My RX-7 has about 104,000 miles on the chassis but it only has 6,000 miles on the new engine. The previous owner put a new motor, turbos, paint job, and adjustable tokico shocks. The car has not given me any problem at all except for the leaking oil pan. I love this car but I think it is time for me to move on to better things. Let me know what you think. Thanks...

 

I think I would trade my FD for an NSX.......

 

.....until you realize the NSX is normally aspirated, slow stock, and expensive as hell to mod

 

Thanks for all the feed back guys. I really like both cars but who knows I might just keep the RX-7 and get the NSX too and have the best of both worlds.

 

+1. ive driven a 92 NSX before, and i wasnt impressed. i owned a GS-R when i test drove it, so i'd imagine it would feel even slower now. with that aside, i still want a NSX. i would never trade my RX-7 for one though. good luck with whatever you do. but i think youd have more fun with a RX-7.

 

wonder what happen to my reply...did I said something bad?

 

keep the RX-7 and buy the NSX. put all your money into the RX-7, and drive the NSX when you dont feel your RX-7 feels as fast anymore.

 

Go for the NSX if only for the variety. The interior is one of the nicest around and it's a true exotic. I don't think you'll take too big of a hit on depreciation. That's the thing with some exotic cars. If they don't depreciate, it's like driving them for free. I even made money on one in the 90's.

 

i just destroyed one a few weeks ago, they show their age more than the FD.

 

no, you haven't been a bad boy.....your reply is in this clone thread:

You make it sound like a mercy killing.

 

it was voluntary lol.

 

wow, I'd trade my FD for an NSX in an instant!

where can I sign up?
