Honda wants to help you keep your old NSX on the road for a very long time. The automaker is starting a new program to supply parts for “some discontinued models.” The program launches in Spring 2026, coinciding with a new restoration service that’ll use the parts. Naturally, the first car Honda will support is the first-generation NSX.
It’s unclear what parts Honda plans to supply, but it doesn’t sound like they’ll all be genuine OEM. The automaker stated it has been “increasingly difficult to supply all genuine parts in old vehicles,” and the company calls its new service a supply of “genuine compatible parts,” which is different.
“With the cooperation of various business partners, we have been considering the production of alternative parts for parts that can no longer be produced and supplied,” the automaker said in its (translated) announcement. It sounds like Honda plans to use remanufactured parts, 3D printing, and other methods to expand its supply.
Honda says it will “adopt parts that meet quality standards in terms of function and performance as “genuine compatible parts” and supply them “globally.” It has been offering an “NSX Refresh Plan” since 1993, but Honda is discontinuing that service this summer.
The company will expand its restoration service to include “other sports car types,” but it’s unclear which models it’ll add next or when. The automaker says it’ll have more details available on the services and parts supply this fall. That’ll give you a few months to find a first-generation NSX in need of some TLC.
