What you are bidding on here is my "1986 Honda Prelude Special Edition".

This is an extremely rare car & model. Very few of this model were ever sold and not many of them left around. What makes this model so rare are the following things: It was the first year for fuel injection 2.0 engine, power steering, and 4 wheel disc brakes. Also was the first year for "Special Edition / Si Trim".  (In Canada they labelled it Special Edition and in the United States it was labelled 2.0 Si)

This car has not seen winter in 20 years. I had the body completely and properly restored 7 years ago. There is no rust and the under body is in excellent shape. Original engine with "matching serial numbers" that has always been taken care of and never abused. Car has never been modified and always had original parts replaced. Never missed any maintance & oil changes. Does not burn any oil. It has only ever been worked on by a certified Honda Mechanic since day one. I just had engine seals done and timing belt. This car runs and drives just like new. Garage kept and barely even seen much rain. Never been in any accidents and has clean title. It is however to be honest not in perfect cosmetic condition. The cosmetic flaws are some of the windows trims are peeling the black plastic and some are also faded. The other cosmetic flaw is the paint in some areas look a little dull and this is because I had taken it into a body shop last year for touch up work and it was not properly "buffed" so you can see in some spots it looks a little dull. However it is not to bad and there is no rust. It might be fixable with a good wax job or if you know how to use a buffer. I am not skilled in these areas. The interior is in great shape, no cracks anywhere on the dash. Only flaw in the interior is the drivers seat is worn. I had it taken in and patched up and it does not look that bad. I am also including with this auction a brand new full set of extra brakes for this car. The mileage on the speedometer shows 378063KM's but it really is 328063 because I had the cluster changed and it had more mileage showing on it so I've always kept a record of it.

Here is a list of all the new work and parts recently done on this car within the last year: 

- Timing Belt & Water Pump
- Complete Brake Job Including New Calipers Front & Rear
- Fuel Pump
- All Engine Seals
- Suspension
- NGK Plugs & Wires
 
- Drive Axels 
 
- Exhaust Front To Back
- Kenwood Stereo & Clarion Speakers Professionaly Installed
- Door Moldings
 
- Interstate Battery 

This car needs nothing at all and drives 100% perfectly with no issues. This auction is perfect for any retro Honda collectors or for someone who wants a classic well built reliable car with everything already done on it. Winning bidder must make arrangements for pickup and a $500 deposit is required at the end of the auction. Note: If this car sells in Ontario, Canada I have no problem including a full safety / certify on it. Feel free to email me with any questions you may have regarding this auction. Please bid with confidence. Thank you for checking out my auction.

Watch this LSR Honda Insight crash at 190 mph in the desert

Tue, 19 Nov 2013

Like any form of motorsports, attempts at breaking land speed records are inherently dangerous. To wit: During a recent speed competition at El Mirage dry lake beds in southern California, racer Brian Gillespie and his first-gen Honda Insight crashed at nearly 190 miles per hour, and it was all caught on video.
According to the Southern California Timing Association website, which hosts the event, the weather was good and there was no wind on November 10, so it isn't clear what may have caused the crash. Despite the car being destroyed (including the entire front end being sheared off), Gillespie suffered only "minor injuries" and is recovering. The SCTA site does state that Gillespie managed to crack the 200-mile-per-hour mark in a previous run with a top speed of 200.9 mph, so congratulations to him on that! Scroll down to watch the horrifying crash.

Honda fielding 11 entrants at Pikes Peak, including 532-hp Odyssey

Tue, 11 Jun 2013

Is it possible for a minivan to be more exciting than an Acura NSX? Well, Honda is trying to find out by entering a 532-horsepower Odyssey into the 2013 Pikes Peak International Hill Climb with IndyCar racer Simon Pagenaud behind the wheel.
Starting with a stock Odyssey, Honda dropped in a turbocharged 3.5-liter V6 producing an estimated 532 hp and 460 pound-feet of torque as well as racing suspension, tires and brakes and one of the biggest roll cages you're likely to ever see. If this van looks familiar to you, you aren't alone - it's a veteran of the Tire Rack One Lap of America.
In addition to this super minivan, Honda will also be entering a first-gen NSX, CR-Z hybrid, Fit EV and Acura TL into the competition as well as five motorcycles and an all-terrain vehicle. Scroll down for the full details on Honda's comprehensive assault on Pikes Peak.

Newest version of Honda's ASIMO coming to TV on April 15

Mon, 07 Apr 2014

Honda's ASIMO robot is moving into its teenage years, having originally been introduced in 2000, and like all teens, it's still learning. The bot has received regular incremental upgrades over that time, and the latest version will premiere on LIVE with Kelly and Michael on Tuesday, April 15.
The newest enhancements provide ASIMO with improved hand dexterity, the ability to use sign language, run faster, climb stars more smoothly, balance on one foot, jump and more. Honda says other new features will be demonstrated with hosts Kelly Ripa and Michael Strahan on the show.
The ongoing development of ASIMO, which stands for Advanced Step in Innovative Mobility, is being done so that one day it can help humans who require assistance. The current version is 4-feet, 3-inches tall, weighs 110 pounds and is made mostly from magnesium alloy and plastic. A big limit is still its lithium-ion battery that only provides 40 minutes of charge. The robot has not needed human control to move since a previous iteration in 2011, which also improved its manual dexterity. It could even pour drinks.
