It's a humble but well-visited shop in a quiet town in Japan, and it's a mecca for fans of the original NSX.
We've unearthed interesting gems for car nuts in Japan before, courtesy of Dino DC, but the YouTuber isn't just done yet. This time, he featured a workshop in Saitama focusing on the NSX – Honda's legendary sports car and the granddaddy of the modern-day Acura NSX.
Known as T3, the video details how this shop has helped keep the old Honda NSXs alive and running via restoration and by making its own OEM parts. We also get to see several mint examples in this marvelous workshop, which at any given time has dozens of NSXs on display. It's, quite simply, a mecca for fans of the original NSX.
There's a widebody one that looks cool, while several more nearly-stock vehicles from the NA1 generation (with pop-up headlamps), the newer NA2, and a few NSX Type Rs were chilling while waiting to get worked on or picked up by their owners.
The shop itself owns three clean and lovingly-restored examples of the NSX. A silver one serves as T3's demo car and features plenty of the parts the shop built. These include a lightweight clutch kit, door components, engine parts, etc. The shop also does automatic to manual conversions for the NSX. Two red examples with a black top are near the shop's office entrance.
The video presenter also talked to the T3 shop owner. They discussed the shop's operations and how the Japanese like to modify their own NSXs. They spoke about how T3 stepped in as a more affordable but still quality option to the more expensive genuine Honda parts. Unfortunately, though, the shop's offerings aren't shipped globally.
Regarding mods, Japan-based Honda NSX owners tend to keep their cars stock – just like this rare NSX Type R presented at a 2021 auction a couple of years ago with an eye-watering $157,500 starting price.
They aren't fond of forced induction and won't go beyond aftermarket wheels and body kits. That might sound boring, but even the shop's owner implied that the NSX is built for agility, and if you're building one for speed, you're doing it wrong.
Add this to the bucket list of places to visit for any JDM nut.
