2001 Honda Prelude Vtec H22a4 Swap H23a Blue Top - Bad Motor - Rebuild Project on 2040-cars
Hot Springs National Park, Arkansas, United States
2001 Honda Prelude, last year model made, non-SH version (all wheel steering), 5 speed manual transmission, sunroof, rear spoiler, recently replaced and upgraded H23A "blue top" VTEC engine. Original black interior in fantastic shape for its age, minimal signs of wear and absolutely no abuse (tears, rips, stains, etc.) and the exterior is the super-rare and desirable "pearl white" color.
Here is the background and current status of the car: Bought for my teenage son approximately 2 years ago. He drove it until approximately 8 months ago when the original H22A4 VTEC motor let go. We decided to install a H23A "blue top" VTEC engine. Ran great, but threw a rod well after the 90 day warranty had already expired. Wife and I decided to "upgrade" and put him into something newer to head off to college. Therefore, we are now selling the car as it sits...with the blown motor. AC blows ice cold and everything on the car works (minus the engine, as described above). New clutch, brake pads and rotors (all 4 corners), and tires (again, all 4) were replaced within the last 5-7k miles. Aftermarket CD radio with AUX input installed, original OEM CD player is also included. Literally, upon the installation of a new motor, Buyer should have a fully functioning, last-year made, well taken care of Prelude for a fraction of the price. Please see the provided pictures as to the general condition of the car. If additional information or pictures are requested, please contact me as I will be glad to provide same via email. Terms: $500 deposit via PayPal is required within 24 hours of winning bid/offer. Balance is due within 5 days from end of auction. Car is sold "as is, where is" with no warranty, either express or implied. No returns as all bids and final sale are legally binding. By placing a bid, Buyer acknowledges car is currently in non-running condition and accepts sole responsibility for any/all transportation, towing, and like expenses. Seller will gladly assist in that regard however possible. Good luck and thanks for looking. Cheers. |

Honda squeezes in 9 Fit customs at SEMA
Wed, 05 Nov 2014Honda 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 Urban SUV Concept leaks out ahead of Detroit debut
Sun, 13 Jan 2013Next up on the 2013 Detroit Auto Show embargo-break-a-palooza: the Honda Urban SUV Concept. Thanks to Indian Autos Blog, we now have the first press shots of the small crossover concept - a vehicle that will someday make it to production, riding on the Honda Fit platform.
It may have some big features - namely, the large headlamps, big wheels, and bold body lines - but the Urban SUV Concept will compete with smaller vehicles like the Nissan Juke or Fiat 500L. Indian Autos Blog reports that both 1.6- an 1.8-liter four-cylinder engines are being speculated for use in the production model, as well as a diesel powerplant for foreign markets.
That's all we know for now, but stay tuned to see the full smattering of official images and details as part of this week's Detroit coverage.
