 This is a very hard to find 100% stock 1997 Honda Prelude Type SH.
 The car is in great shape overall. The interior is near flawless, with all accessories functioning properly. The transmission shifts great and recently had it's fluid changed. The suspension seems to be in great working condition. The tires only have about 4,000 miles on them. The rear brakes are new and the front brakes have some life left.

This car drove amazingly with the ATTS unit. This active torque transfer system performs like a eletronic differential. It divides the power between the front wheels and even allows for one tire to be spinning faster than the other. This all add up to excellent handling and no torque steer . The ATTS was  included only in the less then 10,000 1997-2001 Prelude Type SH models built

The bad. While the car has a clean title and the is zero bondo on the vehicle. It has been in a small fender bender were the rear bumper was replaced.

Most importantly. This car most likely had it's timing belt improperly installed and failed 2,000 miles after a new timing belt kit service was performed. This was the case the head and vavles were damaged. There doesnt seem to be any piston damage. The engine performed wonderfully before this mishap.

This is the Prelude SH to restore or built into a track monster. A hard to find and unique sports car.

Estimated cost of engine rebuilt $2,300. Other options including swaps do exist.

Honda squeezes in 9 Fit customs at SEMA

Wed, 05 Nov 2014

Honda is displaying a heap of customized Fit hatchbacks at this week's SEMA in Las Vegas. Nine of the modded little econoboxes are on the floor showing off wildly divergent takes on the Japanese automaker's most affordable offering. The company has reason to celebrate the new vehicle, too, because it's been dubbed this year's "Hottest Sport Compact" award at the event.
Six of the custom Fits come from a contest that Honda ran online challenging various tuners to come up with their own take on the new model. People could then follow along online as Tjin Edition, Bisimoto Engineering, Kontrabrands, MAD Industries, Spoon Sports USA and Kenny Vinces worked on the cars. In the end, the version from Tjin (pictured above) with its subdued green paint, huge fender flares and ground-hugging stance was named the fan favorite.
In addition to those cars, Honda also has three other modded Fits on display. Honda Performance Development is showing off one in full B-spec racer trim, Honda Genuine Accessories has an example displaying all of its dealer-installed parts, and there's another model tuned by Bisimoto, as well.

Honda reveals more with Civic Type R concept bound for Paris

Mon, 29 Sep 2014

The reveal of the next-generation Honda Civic Type R has been a gradual one. First Honda showed us a camouflaged prototype, then let us drive one at its Japanese proving ground and followed up with a concept at the Geneva Motor Show. Now with the Paris Motor Show looming on the horizon, it has revealed yet another concept to keep hot-hatch enthusiasts on their toes.
The second Civic Type R concept appears almost identical to the first one - right down to the aggressive aero kit, quad exhaust tips, oversized wheels and ultra-low-profile rubber - but wears a new coat of Superman blue with go-fast decals. With its release, however, Honda has confirmed some of the salient details set for the production version.
In the nose sits a 2.0-liter turbo four with 276 horsepower and a 7,000-rpm redline, mated to a six-speed manual transmission. Adaptive dampers and a "steer axis" system promise to keep the power under control, while a push of the +R button tightens up the suspension, steering and torque mapping.

Honda recalling nearly 900,000 Odyssey minivans over fire fear

Mon, 17 Mar 2014

Honda is recalling nearly 900,000 2005 to 2010 model year Odyssey minivans due to a fault with the fuel pump that could cause them to catch fire.
According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration filling, if exposed to "acidic chemicals and a high temperature environment," the cover of the fuel pump strainer could crack and cause a gasoline smell in the minivan or possibly allow the fuel to leak out. Denso supplied the fuel pumps on the vehicles, and the report says that Honda first began studying the problem in October 2012 but didn't finally confirm the cause until March 6, 2014. The recall affects 886,815 Odysseys, and Honda has received 187 warranty claims related to the issue. However, there have been no fires or injures reported.
Unfortunately, Honda says that it currently doesn't have enough replacement fuel pumps to fix all of the vehicles and doesn't expect to have the parts ready until this summer. It's sending a letter to owners telling them about the recall and is sending a second notification when the pieces are at dealers. The entire notification including affected VINs can be viewed as a PDF here, and the shortened version from the NHTSA can be viewed below.
