Clarion Builds' 400 HP 1991 Acura NSX - One Take
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 13 июл 2016
- Clarion Builds has been cranking out some greatness recently; first their spectacular BMW 2002 impressed us with not only its performance but also its quality, and now we have this 1991 Acura NSX. Starting with a tired driver with over 200,000 miles on it, the Clarion Builds team swapped in the entire driveline from a later, 3.2L NSX including the six-speed gearbox, then added a Comptech Supercharger package for a resulting 400+ horsepower. They completely re-did the car's bodywork, paint, and interior, and installed a suite of electronics including surround cameras and obviously, a crazy new stereo system.

As a cyclist and car enthusiast, I just want to thank you on behalf of cyclist for giving space on passes. Getting buzzed by cars sucks.
Of course! The idea of being out for a drive and just murdering someone with a car sounds like a shitty day for me too
Was just going to leave the same comment! haha! and yes, thank you Matt, it's greatly appreciated. Plus who wants to clean a cyclist off your bumper that's no fun. :p
***** Haha, thanks for the laugh! I love angry people on the internet. So salty, so entertaining!
+ColoradoNative I agree I'm a cyclist and I have so much sand in my vagina that I build sandcastles out of it. I realized that all of my bike rides were making me turn into a woman so I bought a crotch rocket and now I have the biggest cock ever! thank you and I love you! and that's not the vagina talking.
+ColoradoNative squid!
That color looks so good on the NSX
I thought the same, looks amazing!
red suits the nsx way better
I find this a very good looking car
Rio Yellow looks absolutely brilliant on the NSX
This car is so tastefully done. Plenty of power without being ludicrous, looks just right, and sounds perfect. Much want.
I find this car very good looking
True, It’s all tasteful but I’m up to make something that will make old men at Monaco weep tears.
A pure bred SpeedNSX, a absolute no nonsense car, using that reliable engine no billet this or that.
The NSX engine at JGTC made about 500hp at 3.5 liters, which is awesome because that V6 sounds wonderful and of course reliable compared to any other V6.
So all carbon, because aluminum is great however with AI designed parts (Czinger style) we can save a lot of weight whilst having ton of strength.
So much better than the new one, imo.
+Michael Felchlin And the old one has more driver involvement. Tech goes both ways like that.
I have more fun in an '05 V6 sedan than most people do in their brand new cars. Throttle cable, no ABS, no traction control, lightweight. Fuck the tech. This NSX is pure driver experience that you can not find easily anymore, which is very sad.
+Michael Felchlin Of course its slower lol, the car is 150k, any car that expensive should be faster. But the NSX was always supposed to be an affordable "supercar". This new one isn't even an NSX anymore
+Michael Felchlin Theyre collectors cars, of course they'll retain value. Its not about the bargain, yea its a good bargain, but its about the price. 1991 NSX started at $60k, by 2004 it was $90k. It should've stayed RWD with a stick-shift transmission IMO.
+Michael Felchlin And I don't doubt that it is. But all these new cars that are full of tech have limited driver involvement, which is why so many people love a car like this.
By the way, you achieved a perfect balance between your voice and engine sound in this video.

"I'm not gonna sit behind a Honda" says the guy driving a Honda.
lol if imma be honest I say the same thing in my slow ass fb6
But it's a fancy Honda D:
OMFG I said the SAME THING LOLOLOL
If you sit behind someone crawling along you can complain, even if the crawler's car is the same brand (or even model) as yours.
You must be fun at parties.
I'm not bragging, but, ok maybe I am a little bit, but a while back I got to take my date to senior prom in an NSX :) Greatest day ever
Did you get to take her home tho?
The NSX I mean.
+My ex-wife haha
+My ex-wife I didn't get the girl :( but I did get the car for the night :)
All was well then!
+Brent Moore At 21 I've decided that my 2 wheeled girlfriend and my 4 wheeled one are more consistent and rewarding that one that has legs and stuff.... Especially 2 wheels that feeling of flying just makes you giddy on a regular basis.
My gosh man, this car is 25 years old and still looks damn amazing! You can put antique plates on it and never have to pay registration ever again!
Not sure how Cali does it but antique plates only allow you to drive to and from car shows. If you want to daily an antique you would need regular plates.
+ChiTownRuler023 how could they enforce that? If you get pulled over you could just say you're going to a car show.
In MS and TN also I believe, the antique car plate can be used on any private vehicle 25 years old or older, for any use, and costs a one-time fee of $25 with no renewal required.
+AlexBFresh They will just give you a ticket and tell you to get regular plates.
ChiTownRuler023
yet more idiotic CA rules.
God I want to drive an NSX, I'm into drift cars but NSX's just tickle me in the right places. WouldSundayDrive/10
but then again who said an NSX can't be a drift car? ;))))
+Joel Harris expensive as drift car lol
It would've had to have been done before! I would if i had the money, although I think anyone would drift anything if they had the money ahah
+Art Vandelay Lol
You could always go dc2 if you want some raw driving enjoyment.
Cars that shoot fire > Cars that don't shoot fire
Science.
It's called anti lag
+Simple Skyline not necessarily
such a profound discovery my friend, you sir, are destined for greatness:)
It's also called rotary
No it's not.
That generation NSX is absolutely timeless. They still look amazing and original today's world.
NSX is one of those cars that I've always had a real soft spot for but could never see myself owning
why
Why can't I see myself owning one?
Jue_boy yeah
Cejay Krause I guess I would go for other cars in its class before the NSX
This applies with so many cars for me lol
One of the best build NSX I have seen. It look so nice with these wheels and in this color. Simply amazing car.
Sounds soooo good!
your name
+Matt Drew what's up guys?
What
What?
^this guy gets it!
I hold you responsible for malfunction of my keyboard due drooling on this car! Excellent work Clarion.
Wow, great job from Clarion for keeping the character intact from the original car and keeping the mods restrained.
"Hello every CHP officer ever" lol that was so funny
Thanks for another fantastic episode Matt and the rest of the crew!
That supercharger whine is orgasmic. The sound of power!
I just saw this car and said "Wow. That is a beautiful car."
And then here's this video of it. Neat.
I would take this over any supercar any day
NSX...you just never get old...
What a dream. That car is phenomenal and still such a beauty to this day. 25 years later.
One of my favorite cars of all time.
These Clarion builds are fantastic, great video Matt!
This car is giving me the mod bug for my NSX. But I know if I take one step, it'll never end. :/
Do it! Do some Tasteful mods
It'll never stop if you start!!!

+Zygrene Please keep it stock. :)
+Zygrene definitely keep it stock unmolested and let the value rise
Legit identical to my dream set up, aside from the supercharger. I love these things.
The NSX is simply a timeless design, looks modern even by today's standard. Amazing machine.
I just realized that watching Matt drive cars is like watching video gamers play games
230k Miles on it?! Damn someone put some miles on that. I love when you see cars like this driven. Would have liked to see it with black leather. Still, its a beautifully build NSX.
Rudy De La Luz Me too, it's good to see someone enjoying the car. It would be my daily
For a Nsx 200k miles is nothing. Many owners say they have no issues with the reliability even at so many miles.
that thing is awesome. very slick, one of the greatest 90's cars for sure
I can't believe how insulated and clean the sound is.top notch build
This is the best way to start your morning! I love this car! The NSX is been my dream car! You made my day with your review thanks man! Good video as always!
It still looks pretty modern, thats probably the most impressive about it. I never look at it and think, oh that car is 25 years old. ^^ Lovely machine! Amazing work my Clarion builds!
The best One Take soundtrack in a very long time. I do love the V6 sound if done right.
Good video Matt, I never get tired of seeing the NSX
Love these builds, really tastefully done.
Great color combo and wheel selection!
These are my favorite types of cars ever. The combination of refinement and comfort-ability, y'know, quiet, good seats, loud speaker system AND badass spors card. Reminds me kinda sorta of the singer 911.
smooth but dynamic driving ,it's always a pleasure to see you behind the wheel Matt; no agressive driving, I like it !
is it just me or does the 98 Honda Accord Coupe and the Acura NSX share the same rear features
It's called "design language" or "design continuity."
X okay. didn't know that I guess you learn something new everyday.thanks
it does
Preludes too
I've been looking for that year of the accord, do you know which years have that rear?
"If I had to make a guess that's somewhat not at all accurate" Well saved. :D
This generation NSX is just so smartly designed, the presentation is simple but the detail in the design is remarkable. The next generation NSX is one of my all time favorite cars. That BestMotoring video of Gan-san running his NSX-R against Lamborghini's and Ferrari's is legendary...
Starting with a 200k mile car just makes the build that little bit more special. Impressive stuff.
230,000miles on the odo that's the distance between earth and the moon (238,000miles)
Yup, and my Lexus has done the moon and back twice!
TheSmokingTire haha damn lol and still running 🚀
Does it make you want to sing "I Love what you do for me!" and jump joyfully into the air? (Toyota's are supposed to do that, I hear.)
+TheSmokingTire what kind of Lexus do you have?
+Gerardo Espinoza 1st gen ls400 there's some videos on it too
what an absolutely beautiful car
MAN! That exhaust note is DIALED IN! Great sound on a great car.
What a nice build. Beautiful paint. Everytime I see a really clean '91 to 2005 NSX, I remember why for me, it's the best looking car ever made.
Matt, please do another video of your Focus RS. Wanted to find out your take after month of ownership.
The day I made the video was the last day I drove it and immediately went on the road for a month for work. I won't even be home until the 28th.
I am deciding between focus rs and 2016 camaro ss. Tough choice, but you buying Focus RS is leaning me toward the RS. Look forward to video whenever you get the chance.
+gilbert martinez not really the old rs has held its value in the UK anyway
amazing, really well finished
this NSX sounds amazing, love the exhaust!
This car sounds so good...really an exhaust I would buy.
finally something nice to watch!!!!
man, honda used to make some amazing cars, they lost their way tho. same as nissan.
John Smitty Who do you think owns Acura?
Keifer, except Honda Corp. gives Acura, Torrance, CA a whole lot of latitude, a quasi- autonomy in Acura design.
What an amazing looking car, they did great job
"Unequivocally, cars that shoot fire, are better, than cars that don't shoot fire!" Love it. This should be on a shirt. Thanks Matt.
I'm a skyline guy but damn I would take a nsx without blinking an eye.
Holy shit I want this car
Best sounding nsx on RUclips
wow gotta appreciate how clean and well finished that car is
Love an intelligently modified car.
Matt when is the M5 e60 one take coming out?
It's in the queue.
Probably 5-6 weeks.
Its so awesome that someone put 230k miles on an NSX and then Clarion Builds gave it a new drive line and made it such a clean car.
The sound this thing makes is just glorious
Is this a 1/4 million mile NSX owned by Matt Farah?
This isnt matt farahs million mile lexus
this is fucking it! a perfect car! looks 90s, feels today and just listen to it go! would pay my newborn son for it, clarion is 10/10 on point with this car!
One Take is one of the best if not the best show about car enthusiasts and their cars love it!
I really hope there will be a Supra MK3 on the show one day :P
that interior is amazing. simplicity at its best
Yessssss such an ideal car
And great review as always Matt!
Kudos to Matt for always being considerable to cyclist. Shares the road. Thumbs up!
I could swear I saw this car at the Long Beach Grand Prix, either way gorgeous car!
The car is not a stupid high horse power car but beautifully done. This is why I love this channel. I hope you keep putting out videos like this.
The overall shape of the first generation NSX is so damn sexy. It has more of a low and wide, long and lean look to it compared to the 2017 NSX. The 2017 somehow looks a little more stubby and stout (looking at it from the side). Something about the 2017's proportions and lines make it look taller and chunkier than it really is, which is no bueno in my opinion. Still a cool car though; don't get me wrong.
This is how Honda should have produced these cars from stock.
What a great take on the original NSX. Definitely needs a shorter final drive, then its perfect.That exhaust note is awesome.
The color is so loud !! The exhaust looks so beautiful , and the power it makes tastes so damn GOOD
Insta-like! my dream car down to the color
Yo Matt, what type of shades are you rocking?
Dillon Optics! Official eyewear of The Smoking Tire! Use the link on our site to get a free TST shirt with purchase!
+TheSmokingTire yo Matt where do you get your haircut
i looked into getting a pair of them cause i really like how different they look, but get ready to shell out $250 for a set, too rich for my blood.
Dude where have you been
+Romi Kurti John Deere
One of the best NSX i have ever seen. A good look yet not too "rice" and over complicated.
I love starting my day with a cup of coffee and a one take. Thanks Matt.
That took a really long time to start up. Is that normal for an NSX, or is it because of the supercharger?
snackinglots I was thinking the same I'm guessing the supercharger starves the air for a second
Did I miss the part in the video where the car goes from 340hp to 400?
400 Crank HP = 345 wheel HP
how do you lose that much from a mid (more rear) engine to a rear wheel drive layout??
This seems like an awesome tune - done for an adult. Adds some power but nothing that the car can't handle + the exhaust is befitting of a super car. The interior upgrade is also tasty. I wish the new nsx was more in this vein. Something about lightweight momentum building cars like this that are just awesome.
One of the most beautiful and refined cars of all time. Good luck everyone else.
I love it I love it I love it omg I love it
Honda should have built one exactly like this. Instead of, you know, the new nsx
Fingers crossed for the supposed NA, RWD, lightweight model rumored to be in the works!
Yeah that wouldn't sell.
+alexlam24 that would sell like crazy
+Krevin Grard and if it came in a manual OMG...but that's not gonna happen unfortunately :(
I have to imagine that if they're going to go through all the trouble for a back to roots NSX that they would have the sense to offer a manual. We can only hope! I would buy one in a heartbeat....in about 6 years haha
Unless you know what a stock first gen NSX looks inside and out, you'd think this is nothing. But this thing is RIDICULOUSLY BEAUTIFUL
All drivetrain mods aside, those seats and the rear view camera are amazing.
Matt, do you think you will ever be able to do a One Take series at the Nürburgring? I don't mean in the near future, but do you think it would ever be possible?
Yes. I have been talking with the RSR Nurburg guys about doing a series with 4-5 of their rental race cars on the ring. I think it would be awesome.
Yes, yes it would.
+TheSmokingTire that, would be THE BEST.
That's really great! The Nürburgring is #1 on my bucket list.
I couldn't afford this so decided to get an S2000 instead. Next best thing, am I right?!
BrienMusic not really..lol this nsx is a 3.2 v6 ..and s2k's are 2.0 and 2.2 4 bangers...i still like s2k's alot tho
Haha I know, I'm just talking in terms of 'fun factor'
S2000 is probably more fun unless you do NSX Type R mods to the NSX. :) Given the regular model NSX is a bit more of a cruiser whereas the S2000 is more frantic.
The NSX drives far better than the S2000, I've driven both. The S2000 I drove felt like a very solid rough ride and the NSX drove like a nice car with great handling and some nice speed. I'd choose NSX over it if I had money.
Brien Ahern yep. Same for me. Even a mediocre NSX is 40k+
I've always wanted an NSX, and I am close to finally purchasing one in a few more years, and I must say after all the videos and ones I've seen in person this might be my favourite build, and looking NSX. Amazing video Matt!
I saw and sat in this exact car in person at Barrett Jackson in Scottsdale. It's even more stunning in person
I love the NSX beautiful cars, and such a pure car. Its to bad they fucked up the new one, the new one is literally the exact opposite that this car stands for. Not nearly as pretty either....
Well most reviews that I’ve seen on it say it’s basically a baby 918.
Stuck behind a Honda? Is that supposed to be ironic?
I like the interior upgrades, and I also like how on exterior, they kept everything stock except for the hood.
This is the best thing I've ever seen in my life
Funny how Matt gets annoyed with other citizens who have the nerve to drive on this public road lol
That's a complete misrepresentation of why I'm annoyed. This road is single lane with no passing for like 15 miles. If you want to drive slow, go right ahead, but proper canyon etiquette dictates using any of the dozens of turnouts to pull off and let faster traffic by.
Try driving here in Oregon. People here insist on going 5-10mph under, and refuse to accelerate when getting onto a freeway; Then they bitch when people pass them: "hey man, that's aggressive" I blame the weed/prescription meds/distracted driving/drive by wire/unimaginative (I know nothing about tires but I know EVERYTHING about foreign policy) all season tire choices. They can google/research everything but when it comes to car stuff...nothing. The same morons speed in parking lots, fail to come to a complete stop in residential neighborhoods, fail to pick the correct turning radius in big intersections only to over correct by going into your lane (left hand into two lanes, they'll turn into the farthest lane because they cut the apex to early). They drive fast in dangerous places / slow in places where it's safe to go fast. They're also indecisive and slow to react, then overreact when you actually pass them. They keep the same following distance at 10 through 60mph, as if they have F1 style brakes. The cops are the worst: NONE when it's raining/actually dangerous, but once we actually luck out with some sun up here, they're out issuing as many chicken shit tickets as humanly possible. I've honestly thought it would be fun to PAY some of these people just to ride passenger in their own car, on cruise control at 60mph and show them that the world isn't going to come to an end by taking a few corners on the way to the beach that the radius's are engineered to be safe at 80mph in good conditions. God forbid they experience any lateral g's, the world will end and no more free range minority rescue organic grass fed recycled free trade latte's would survive. We really need to go back to mandatory track / driving lessons. And one other thing: Why is it SO difficult for people to actually move forward when the guy in front moves forward on the green light? Why the "I must do nothing until two car lengths have been established first, so fewer people get through the light" attitude. And while we're at it. You CAN turn RIGHT on a red light in Oregon, IF the idiot in front of you moves over to the left and you can get by without leaving the pavement, it's 100% legal.
It's almost the exact same way in Atlanta man! All but the rain issue you have there. I've been trying to explain all of this to my girlfriend especially the part about cornering, we all drive modern day cars we don't need to drop our speed by 20mph on wider corners... And don't get me started on speeding up to get on the freeway, they think the people already on have to slow down for them... Anyway I feel like we could reduce our traffic (not sure if you've heard about our traffic in ATL) some if people knew these things, and I honestly feel like people (here at least) should have to take a class every few years.
+07wrxtr1 hahaha so true, very similar morons up here in Washington
Well if it's open road and the guy behind me is actually faster, I pull over, let him pass and life is good. Why is it that people cannot get this? I'm now to the point I just pull over and let the tailgating morons pass (then they all act puzzled about the rock chips)...open up some free road and then enjoy a few corners. I often wonder what they think when they see me pull over, only to catch up again, only to pull over.... while they go on with their dog hair infested "Why wash it when it's just going to rain again?" attitude. These are the same idiots: "wow that's a nice car" yeah. It's real difficult to wash a car, garage a car, not tailgate, and not go to places that have the lowest common denominator parking. Off topic: Why are skinny chics always out jogging but never the fat chic that SHOULD be?
This is what One Take is all about! Great vid!
I know what you mean about the "set and wait" feeling in the early cars. That's a good way of describing it.
Clarion does a great job at building daily drivers
