This one in the classifieds does seem very competitively priced....

Things get weirder at 3m20s...
Also, read somewhere that KSP Racing in Japan do a very good Auto to Manual conversion.

The best car I never bought.
All last summer I had a wanted ad in the PH classifieds & never got the right result.
I test drove a stunning low mileage targa with a tubi exhaust that sounded sublime but it wasn't to be unfortunatly, I really wanted a coupe.
Now's the time to buy I'd say-within 5 years these will have jumped in price by a substantial margin & the boat will have sailed. I good 3.0 at give or take 20-odd grand is going to see you a great return just make sure you buy a good one

How would you figure out if you've found a good one ? With so few around it's not like you could try a few to get a feel for things.
Nice to know that Honda still feel proud about it though, there's still a web-page for it http://www.honda.co.jp/NSX/ "NS-X Forever" ! And an official refurb plan http://www.honda.co.jp/NSX/refresh-plan/index.html on which some items seem to cost, ummm, a fair bit :-)
Found this load of photos too which are rather cool http://www.cliosport.net/forum/showthread.php?5491...

A wonderful car. I've been lucky enough to own one for the last 15 months; I've done about 5,000 miles and I love it. The engine note when the VTEC kicks in is to die for. I love the fact that the engine has just the right amount of power - you can use most, if not all, of it most of the time, unlike some modern cars that are just too fast in some ways.
The handling is the perfect antidote to someone who drives 911s a lot, with that sublime feel that comes from a mid mounted engine. The one surprise when I bought my car was how slow the steering is - it requires a lot of turning! But on the plus side it gives great straight line stability and real delicacy mid bend.
The looks are still great, although the overhangs are a bit dated.
Here's the car out in the countryside last summer.
