Hey UVA6Speed, where'd you hear 1 of 300? Nav 6-Speeds?
2003 6-speed production #s are 900 w/ out nav and 300 w/ nav. That is less then the S2000 and that is how I like it. I basically had to squeeze that info out of several dealers. It was confirmed by 3 different dealers.
My car was born on March 3, I really wish their was some sort of production #s out on the car so I could see how many Red ones are out there, but honda is much more protective of its marketing info then GM.
I love the J30's sound.
Ok so I am learning here. The block is called J30 or the motor, head, internals, and intake is referred to as a J30? I would really like to learn some more serious specs on the motor, and what is shared with its older acura 3.0V6. I also really like how honda machined out the plenum, so simple yet effective. You should see the crazy complicated cast GM was doing before it moved to injection molded composite intakes.
One other thing, the tranny is a 6 speed open tranny. I know honda puts a 6speed on the S2000, CL-s, TSX, RSX and NSX. How many different housing does honda have for their trannies? do all the 6-speeds share the same housing with different internals(LSD vs open, and gear ratios)? That would make sense (with an exception on the S2000 ofcoarse)
