Honda NSX Type R NA1R at All Japan Day 2016 - Sunday 28th February 2016

[chaumeh]

Hi guys,

I thought this was just too special not to share. Australia's only genuine NA1R on display at the All Japan Day car show held at Wigley Reserve in Adelaide on Sunday the 28th of February 2016.

Photos were sourced from various photography pages on Facebook

Great looking car. Is that a signature of Shigeru Uehara on the back there? And I could have sworn that there were more NA1R's in Australia, if I can recall there was a yellow one on Carsales a while back.

[chaumeh]

That is indeed Uehara's sig on there (and Gan-sans!). There were a few NA1R's in Australia previously but as of right now, I believe this is the only one in Aus. That yellow one that was on carsales a while back now lives in the UK (fwiw-it was also an Adelaide car!). Perhaps Freakygeek can chime in

I've been in that yellow one! Was so cool.

The owner of the red one must have been really popular that day! Is everything OEM?

Can't believe it's been relocated to the UK You should have bought it!

From my chat with the owner, everything is OEM. He swore to keep it OEM as Uehara personally told him not to modify it! We had some interesting conversations re: Uehara-san mindset versus Ichishima-san mindset though.

You should have bought it!

More like you should've bought it Bossman! haha

That's awesome, I wouldn't modify an NA1-R either.

Can you elaborate on your interesting conversation on Ichishima-san vs Uehara-san?

In summary, "stock is best" versus modified examples. Owner of the NA1R won't modify it as he believes it's perfect from factory and can't be improved (and Uehara told him not to touch it because it'll ruin its characteristics).

At the end of the day, it's each to their own and everyone has different requirements in what they want to achieve with their own car. It's always an endless debate with stock versus modded. Just do what meets your requirements and makes you happy lol.
