This is the nicest 1991 Honda Prelude Si anywhere.

This car has new brakes, rotars, calipers pads, battery, radiator, hoses, original engine professionally tuned and mechanically restored to factory specs. Never molested. Just rebuilt with better parts. I had 3 very nice sets of keys made for the car as well. Title clean and in hand.

Total blast to drive, this was the car that beat the 1991 corvette around the slalom. It carves corners. With the rebuild it has significantly more power because of higher quality components. I bought this car a few years ago to restore, it may sound crazy but a 1987 Honda Prelude was my first car so it was a sentimental restoration for me. This car had been garage kept it's entire life, it just needed a little TLC. I had the engine pulled out and sent to a very reputable Honda specialist, the block was tanked, blasted and repainted, all new internals, rotating assembly, belts, hoses, radiator. The transmission was in perfect condition. The mechanical restoration set me back $4,200 and I had the exterior of the car professionally painted by a nationally ranked paint specialist.

There were a couple rust spots that were cut out of a quarter section and new metal was welded in. That was a $4,500 paint job. I went with the Lexus Diamond white tricoat which is the very expensive paint. I have about $10,000 invested in the car over the last year and I just don't have time for it anymore. It runs great, new battery with 3 year warranty, fresh paint and maintenance. It's almost an antique vehicle and rare find for Prelude enthusiasts. The car has never been modified, only restored to original specifications.

It has the original radio but it doesn't work, the A/C needs to be recharged but it blows, just not cold. Heat works fine. The speedometer doesn't work or works intermittently and the resistor that is needed no longer exists, I have searched everywhere. It has some some minor wear in the interior, but the car is actually in pretty good shape. Mechanically it's like a band new car, but it's not perfect. I am selling this vehicle locally and reserve the right to end the auction at any time. Vehicle as is, no warranty. Buyer assumes all responsibility and arranges delivery and or shipping of vehicle. Serious questions inquires only.

This is a steal if your not looking to put any money into a classic collectable Honda, all the work has been done and done right. All you have to do is charge the A/C and put whatever sound system you want in it and it's ready to go.

Honda reveals XR-V crossover in Chengdu

Thu, 04 Sep 2014

Global automakers have been moving largely towards global products, but that doesn't mean it can't tweak them for local tastes. Take Honda, for example, and its new compact crossover. Unveiled late last year as the Vezel, the crossover is expected to arrive in Europe and North America as the HR-V. But in China, it's being called the XR-V and adopts the form you see here.
Presented by Dongfeng Honda at the Chengdu Motor Show, the new XR-V is based closely on the Vezel but adopts some unique bodywork for a more rugged look. The front end gets a more SUV-like grille and bumper, while the side flanks are less swoopy but with more muscular wheel arches. The result may not be as bonkers as the Mugen version that debut at the Tokyo Auto Salon tuner show, but reminds us more of the similarly named and ruggedized Subaru XV Crosstrek.
Though technically billed as a concept, the Chinese-market XR-V looks just about ready for production as it is. Both 1.5- and 1.8-liter engines are specified, and while there may not be a wealth of other details available, you can read what there is in the press release (presented in original and translated forms) below.

Automakers score 8 out of top 20 most-watched ads on YouTube [w/videos]

Fri, 14 Dec 2012

Who would have ever thought there'd be a day where people are able to skip television commercials only to go to websites to watch them later? Such is the joy of a DVR and YouTube. AdWeek tabulated the 20 most-watched ads on YouTube, and found that nine were car-related including eight coming from automakers.
Volkswagen continued its Star Wars theme with two ads in the top 20, including the highest-ranking car commercial The Bark Side spot at number three with almost 18 million views, which doesn't even have a single car in it. Some of our favorites are from Chrysler with Clint Eastwood in It's Halftime in America and House Arrest with Charlie Sheen for the Fiat 500 Abarth. Chevrolet, Honda, Audi and Toyota were the other automakers in the top 20, but we'd be remiss if we didn't at least mention one of the coolest ads on the list, the Hot Wheels corkscrew jump.
Of all the car videos, only the Fiat ad wasn't played during a Super Bowl. Check out all eight videos - in order - after the jump. Nike took the top spot with its My Time is Now ad that has been seen online more than 20 million times with Pepsi's Uncle Drew posted up in the runner-up; some of the other videos include four Old Spice commercials and an ad in which Snoop Dogg is pedaling Hot Pockets.

Watch Honda lay waste to world's fastest lawnmower record

Wed, 02 Apr 2014

Honda has been working on its high-performance Mean Mower for a while now. In a recent attempt to take the top speed title, it didn't make its 130-miles-per-hour top speed target, but it still managed to set a new Guinness World Record has the world's fastest lawnmower at 116.57 mph. While the video certifying the run was uploaded to YouTube on April 1, this is no prank. The Guinness run was made on March 8 at the Idiafa Proving Ground in Tarragona, Spain.
To claim the record, the lawnmower had to run through a 100-meter speed trap, and it had to make two passes in opposite directions within an hour with the average taken between them. Guinness also specifies that to take the title the vehicle must still be able to cut grass and look like a lawnmower. The speed was still plenty to beat the previous record of 96.529-mph set by Bobby Cleveland on a Snapper race mower at the Bonneville Salt Flats in September 2010.
The Mean Mower is based on a Honda HF2620 Lawn Tractor that's been modified by British Touring Car Championship squad Team Dynamics. It has a newly fabricated chassis from 4130 chromoly steel and packs a 1.0-liter engine from a Honda VTR Firestorm motorcycle with a six-speed sequential gearbox. The engine produces 109 horsepower and 71 pound-feet of torque - enough power to reach 60 mph in around four seconds. The suspension and wheels come from an ATV, and the cutter deck has been remade in fiberglass. The grass bag holds the fuel tank, oil cooler and secondary radiator. The engine no longer actually cuts grass. Instead, the blade is driven by two electric motors.
