Thread: If Honda built the original NSX again today what would you want changed?

    Default If Honda built the original NSX again today what would you want changed?

    Just out of curiosity. Is there anything you would like changed or think they should.

    For me a bit more torque and more foresight with the ice and ditch the tape player.

    Better brakes, they boil to quick on track.

    More adjustment on the steering wheel for people like me with short arms!
    Lower 'stance' to reduce the wheel arch gap. Obviously wheel size and ground clearance have a lot to do with this.
    Not much else. As said above, it would be nice to have that 'Porsche' midrange and still retain the 8K redline.

    Cheers.

    To have blue printed every engine, balance it to red line at 10,000rpm, increase power to 300+bhp and torque to 250lb/ft which should have guaranteed a sub 5 sec 0-60 and a top speed of 200mph+.
    Tore up the "gentlemans" agreement.
    The chassis would have been good for it but obviously upgrade the brakes to suit while hopefully maintaining the 15/16 wheels.

    More headroom. It's only just enough bare headed, no chance with a helmet ..... Good job it's a targa!

    Lighter steering wheel and less padded seats for more feedback.
    Better brakes as Ian has already said, and a little more headroom as Peter said.
    Lighter flywheel too - compared to the 4-pot engines it's slower to gain/lose revs, doesn't need to be...

    Otherwise not a lot. The EPAS is probably the only other thing...

    Blue '08 FD2 CTR - big, ITR-sized shoes to fill...
    Yellow '96 NSX 3.0 - oh was it worth the wait!
    Black '99 ITR - well, I had to have another one, the first was so much fun. Miss this one even more than #1...
    Blue '03 S2000 - SOLD, flawed but fun
    Blue '04 Focus TDCi Sport - SOLD, very good fun for a diesel!
    Black '00 ITR - SOLD, still missed
    Red '98 Civic VTi - SOLD, probably still bombproof

    ^^ headroom with a helmet for me too - I just can't do it comfortably, despite the lower & less cushioned seat.

    Brakes for road use are fine, but they could look better ...

    Ditch spare wheel and line the front for additional luggage capacity ...

    Better door mirrors ...

    Modern touch screen ICE / NAV system but angled more vertically to avoid glare ...

    Make use of modern materials to reduce weight of side vents, seats, Targa, engine cover ...

    Learn from Audi' marketing team and release alternative models every couple of years, Targa, full convertible, GT3 ...

    But to be fair, this is 26/27 years forward and we all know how they decided to reinvent the NSX ...
