Up for sale is a 1997 Honda Prelude that has been in the family since 1998. It was originally an automatic but my father had a manual professionally installed before he gave it to me. The car was given to me in 2007 and the first thing i did was have the suspension bushings replaced with an energy suspension bushing kit along with skunk 2 lowering springs 2''. In 2009 I had the motor rebuilt by JE Import performance. The list is long, here it is. Engine tear down, clean flush, blueprint, balance. 5 angle valve job on B series DOHC head. H22A connecting rods H3D set of four. H22A4 Superdeck Darton sleeves with line hone of main journals and final hone of cylinders. ERL H22A balance Shaft Elimination kit. ERL Engine box. H22A 89mm 11.5:1 Piston set. Cometic Head Gasket 97mm bore .030" thick and ARP head stud kit. OEM timing belt, water pump, oil pump. Skunk 2 stage 2 top end including camshafts, titanium valve spring retainers, adjustable cam gears with exposed timing belt. AC was disabled with shorter serpentine belt! Skunk 2 intake manifold, 440cc injectors, s-100 hondata system p28 prepped obd1 conversion harness, test pipe, apexi ws2 silenced exhaust, dc header, short air intake. Dyno tuned at 222 wheel hp at 8200 rpm. The motor currently has 24,000 miles.
The car was in a minor accident in 2004 but was repaired right away. The car also has minor rust spots on the inner rear fenders that can be easily repaired. The car also needs the rear chambers adjusted in a front end alignment to eliminate inner tread wear. The wear is slight but it is there, has front chambers as well but they don't seem to wear at all. there are about 5 or 6 small dents but excellent condition for all the preludes that i see on the road.
Overall the car is in excellent shape for being 5 years away from classified historic. JE imports mentioned to me that my motor could be turbo charged and handle it fine the way its built with lower boost and the timing and tune readjusted. I have babied the car (never taken past 7500 rpms even though it red lines at 8200. i Love the prelude so much but the time has arrived that i need something more practical sadly spoken. You can contact me at 410-292-3128. Leave me a voice mail or text, i usually do not answer unknown numbers. I will need a certified check for currency transaction. Test drives will be given by me if necessary.

Honda N Box + has incredible versatility as oddly humorous JDM video shows
Thu, 10 Oct 2013We want the Honda N Box +. Strangely enough, this video spot, shot in Japanese and gushing with production values that are a bit foreign to us, makes us want the little Honda even more. You see, we don't need to know Japanese to see that the kei car's 'universal bridge' feature isn't a gimmick - it actually looks extremely convenient - and that the car's multi-space system takes interior functionality to a new level. We don't require a translator to laugh at the gags in this spot, either, though we won't pretend to understand them idiomatically.
But really, the video is worth a watch, if for no better reasons than to enjoy a confusion-based laugh, and to marvel at the tiny car's extremely efficient use of space. We don't expect the N Box + to be offered for sale anywhere near North America, so to get your kicks, you'll have to head below to watch the commercial.
Honda recalling 871,000 SUVs and minivans over rollaway fear
Wed, 12 Dec 2012Honda is recalling 871,000 SUVs and minivans for an issue in which the vehicles may roll away after the key has been removed from the ignition.

According to a report from Reuters, the effected vehicles include certain numbers of the Honda Odyssey and Pilot, as well as the Acura MDX. Here are the recall figures:
2003-2004 Honda Odyssey: 318,000 vehicles
2003-2004 Honda Pilot: 259,000 vehicles
Honda celebrates the life of Ayrton Senna the best way it knows how
Fri, 26 Jul 2013Honda is returning to Formula One in 2015 with McLaren, and when that engine maker and that F1 constructor are mentioned together, two other words are never far behind: Ayrton Senna. There are engine suppliers, constructors and drivers that have bigger numbers, but those three form a triumvirate that came close to defining F1 in the eighties.
Honda Japan has produced a commercial called Sound of Honda that celebrates Senna at a race that turned out to be one of the most momentous of his career for good and bad reasons: the 1989 grand prix at Suzuka where he won, then was stripped of, the driver's championship.
The commercial has a terrifically simple premise - there's no CG, no old footage of Senna, no one says a word, it's just sound. And it's pretty damn good. Check it out below.
