1999 Honda Prelude Base Coupe 2-Door 2.2L

This has been my personal car for about 2 years. It is running fine and has no problems that prevents it from being used for transportation. It has never broken down, and I am only selling it because I needed a bigger vehicle. Are far as I know there are no major engine problems, however there are some smaller issues that you need to be aware of. I have been told that the following mechanical items have issues or need replacement: rotors, shocks/struts, front axels.

As noted above, the suspension on this vehicle needs work. In addition, the vehicle has been lowered, therefore I wouldn't recommend driving the car on large stretches of highway until you get the suspension fixed. It does not take big bumps well at high speeds. In general, it just doesn't take big bumps well (railroad tracks, large inclines, etc.). I haven't had problems driving the car in the city and on short spans of highway. There is usually only a problem once you get around 65-70 mph and hit a dip in the road. The shocks don't handle it well.

In addition to the mechanical issues listed above, the vehicle has the following cosmetic/electrical/other issues: front blinkers not working (crack in left one), crack in front windshield, belt squeals for a few seconds when you crank the car (longer if the AC is on), tear in driver-side floor mat (2-3 inches), piece broken off inside driver door handle (still works), outside driver handle doesn't sit flush after released.

Aside the the issues above, everything on the car works. The paint is chipping in some places and there is normal wear as you expect from a used car.

Honda next to open museum to Google Street View

Mon, 14 Oct 2013

Had 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.

Average new-car fuel economy figures continue record pace

Sat, 13 Jul 2013

Manufacturers are making more efficient cars and trucks; we've known that to be true for some time. Nearly every new car has some sort of trick to eke a few extra miles out of every gallon of fuel. Whether that be turbocharging, active aerodynamics or hybrid technology/electrified powertrains, the fact is that our vehicles are more efficient than ever before.
Thanks to a recent study by TrueCar, we've got fresh quantitative data to support the above statements. For the fourth month in a row, we've seen an improvement in national fleet fuel economy. We Americans are 0.7 miles per gallon more efficient than we were last month, and our cars are 1.6-mpg better than at this time last year. That said, we're still down on 2013's high, which was set back in January at 24.5 mpg.
Not only does this reflect the improved technologies in our vehicles, but it demonstrates a changing mindset among consumers, who are purchasing more efficient vehicles despite the relative stabilization of fuel prices. Every fuel-efficient model sold drives its manufacturers fleet average up.

Honda Performance Development reveals new ARX-04b LMP2 coupe

Fri, 11 Apr 2014

Make no mistake about it: Honda is big in racing. It was the first Japanese automaker to enter Formula One, remains the most successful and is set to return as an engine supplier next season. It's powered more IndyCar race winners and champions than any other manufacturer, hands down. Honda has won races and titles in Super GT, WTCC, even motorcycle racing. Just about everything this side of NASCAR, really. And that includes endurance sports car racing.
In fact Honda Performance Development prototypes claimed over 70 victories and numerous titles in the American Le Mans Series, and took the first LMP2 title in the FIA World Endurance Championship. And with sportscar racing in the US now grouped together into the United SportsCar Championship, Honda is back with a new chassis design.
Called the ARX-04b, it's Honda's first closed-cockpit LMP2. Like previous LMP2 and IndyCar projects, it's a joint development between HPD and Wirth Research, and packs Honda's HR28TT engine - a 2.8-liter twin-turbo V6 based on (and using many of the same components as) the J35 engine you'd find in a contemporary Acura. Designed to exceed the latest safety regulations, the ARX-04b features low-drag bodywork, quick-change front and rear panels, the same locking fuel filler system that Honda pioneered for Indy, top-exit exhaust to meet noise regulations, a 75-liter fuel tank and a gearbox that can easily be optimized for individual circuits.
