There has been a lot of excitement around Honda’s recent announcement about supplying parts for discontinued models, particularly the first-generation NSX. It’s exciting news for owners and enthusiasts, but what exactly does it mean? Here’s the factual breakdown:
- Starting spring 2026, Honda will supply “genuine-compatible parts.” These components will meet Honda’s quality standards but may be produced through remanufacturing, 3D printing, or sourced from third-party suppliers.
- The program currently confirms support only for the first-generation NSX (NA1/NA2). While there is potential to expand to other models, no official details have been shared yet.
- Honda’s new restoration service will initially be limited to Japan.
- Not all discontinued parts will return. Honda will focus on parts that are feasible for low-volume production and that meet quality and performance standards.
This is not a return to traditional OEM manufacturing lines, but rather a recognition of the vital role independent manufacturers and remanufacturers have played in supporting legacy vehicles. Companies like MITA Motorsports have been developing and producing these essential parts for years, helping keep these cars on the road.
We view Honda’s initiative as a positive development, but it is important to maintain realistic expectations. The supply of parts will be gradual, selective, and complemented by ongoing work from specialists in the aftermarket community.
We will continue to support enthusiasts with high-quality solutions wherever gaps remain. Like much of the community, we are excited to see what comes next.
Definitely your company’s initiative to develop and offer NLA products available to an eager community of owners has been noticed by Honda and helped drive the the decision to also support its legacy models.
I understand this new project from Honda is primarily NSX based but can someone tell Honda that we need front and rear bumpers for 99-00 civics?
Hurray !! can not wait…. my 2003 NSX will get totally remade…
