Up for sale is my 1998 Honda Turbo Coupe. No expense was spared building up this car. It is an extremely reliable daily driver with A/C, heat and power steering. I never intended for it to be a race car although you certainly could use it as such.
The engine was built from a bare block with forged rods and pistons, head studs, full valve job etc. A rebuilt transmission was purchased with carbon fiber syncros and an M-Factory limited slip that is streetable. I very streetable Competition clutch was put to handle the extra power. The car drives like stock and is just as smooth. At least till you lay into the gas pedal then it takes off like a rocket. Since the car was a daily driver I wanted to keep it mostly stock looking and have that "sleeper" look. You'll notice the car has a full 3" exhaust built but it exits behind the rear bumper where you can't see and the original tail pipe was welded in place as a decoy for a stock look. Very sneaky :) It's also very quiet and no one will ever know what's lurking under the hood. I did include an electric cutout so when you feel the need to be loud and obnoxious open it up and have fun. From the front you'll notice the intercooler in the lower bumper if you're a car person with a sharp eye but 99% of the people don't know the difference. It's pretty funny watching various BMWs and other sedans that think they're fast try and pass you. I had custom gauges made just for the car that go on the pillar in good taste. They say "Honda Racing" on them and glow blue at night. They look very sharp and I get a lot of complements on them all the time. All name brand parts were used on the turbo kit. No cheap chinese knock off parts on there. Precision turbo, Tial waste gate, HKS BOV, ID 1000 injectors which are absolute cream of the crop top of the line injectors and provide stock idle and drivability characteristics. They were very expensive injectors but well worth the money.
The car has the Hondata S300 tuning system in it which is also top of the line and sort after. It has a very user friendly user interface that will allow anyone to tinker with the tunes or build their own. The vehicle also comes with a J&S Vampire anti-knock system. This is a wonderful (and expensive) system that monitors for any knock and automatically pulls timing from the motor saving you from accidentally blowing it with to much timing or to little octane in the fuel. I have the car tuned on both 91 pump gas as well as E85. On E85 the car can run a lot more boost and timing and honestly is down right dangerous it's so fast. I would not recommend this car for a young driver with little driving experience. If you can keep your foot out of boost you'll still enjoy 30 ~ 32 mpg average driving around. Absolutely fantastic for a daily driver. If you have a lead foot and drive like every stop light is a drag race and every highway is a nascar track you're only going to see 24 ~ 26 which is still not bad at all considering the power. My mixed driving of boost and normal driving seems to average me around 28+.
I have put well over $10k into building this car up and that doesn't even include the original purchase price so my reserve of $6800 is a steal. Unfortunately with 5 vehicles I don't hardly drive this one anymore so I'd rather someone gets to enjoy it instead of just sitting.
I'm sure I've missed a lot of stuff I've done like upgraded fuel pumps, high powered cooling fans etc. I'll try to update the post as I think of more stuff. The build only has 7000 miles on it so you're getting basically a brand new engine and transmission. Not to mention it's built strong and turbo'd! |

Honda next to open museum to Google Street View
Mon, 14 Oct 2013Had your fill of tooling around the Lamborghini Museum on Google Street View? Maybe Italian supercars aren't your thing? Then we've got good news, because The House That Ferruccio Built isn't the only automotive museum in cyberspace: now the Honda Collection Hall has opened its doors to the crew from Mountain View, too.
The Honda Collection Hall, for those who haven't made it out to Japan's Tochigi Prefecture, is a grand three-story museum dedicated to all things Honda. It's located at the Twin Ring Motegi, and has been open since 1998. Inside visitors will find everything from robots and scooters to SUVs and racing cars. But if you can't make it there in person, you can check out all three levels of floorspace on Street View right from the comfort of your home. Check out the images above and the interactive map below.
Acura NSX bodywork to be sheathed in zirconium e-coat, fewer paint layers
Tue, 05 Aug 2014Automakers make halo cars to drum up excitement and show off what they can do, but there's more to it than that. Advanced platforms allow a company's engineers to experiment with all sorts of technologies. And in the case of the upcoming new Acura NSX, that includes new paint processes.
Speaking with Autoline in this video interview, Honda's North American Senior VP Jon Minto talked about an innovative zirconium e-coat which it's applying to the new NSX. Unlike some experimental paints developed for Formula One, however, this coating is not designed to minimize drag or enhance cooling: it's designed to be more environmentally friendly.
It's one of a few measures which Honda is implementing on the NSX before expanding it to more accessible models, along with another process that uses fewer coats to reduce energy consumption by 40 percent. Watch the interview with Autoline host John McElroy right here.
2015 Honda Civic Type-R benchmarks the cream of the hot hatch crop
Tue, 13 Aug 2013Honda has something wicked up its sleeve, based on the latest batch of spy photos we've received. This is purportedly the next Honda Civic Type-R, out testing in Germany and on the Nürburgring. The last generation of the Type-R went out of production in Europe in 2010, and while we admired it from afar, it's 2.0-liter, four-cylinder produced similar figures to the American-market Honda Civic Si.
From the looks of both it and the cars Honda engineers are benchmarking, the next Type-R will be much more powerful. In the spy photos, we can see four meaty exhaust pipes along with what is quite clearly an intercooler hiding behind the rear bumper. That's right, the next Type-R will be turbocharged. It'll need to be, though, if it's meant to tackle cars like the Opel Astra OPC, Ford Focus RS500 and Renault Megane RS Trophy (not pictured, but there according to our spies).
300 horsepower from a 2.0-liter engine should be on offer, and would match the competition quite well. Other obvious tweaks from the ho-hum five-door Civic are mainly aerodynamic. It sports an aggressive body kit with a meaty chin spoiler, rocker panels and a big rear wing. Red Brembo brake calipers can also be seen behind the sporty wheels and low-profile tires.
