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 returning to F1 as McLaren partner

Thu, 16 May 2013

Honda must really love Formula One racing, as evidenced by today's announcement that the Japanese automaker is returning to the world's most popular motorsport for the fifth time in its history. Honda has entered into a team partnership with McLaren to develop and manufacture power systems - the engine and energy recovery system - for the 2015 F1 season. McLaren will be in charge of chassis development and running the day-to-day operations of this newly formed team, which will be called McLaren Honda.
Honda says its decision to reenter F1 racing had to do with new regulations for the 2014 season that require cars to be powered by a 1.6-liter direct-injection turbocharged V6 engine paired with an energy recovery system. Apparently the chance to develop this particular powertrain for F1 racing was too enticing for Honda to pass up, which suggests it has bigger plans for the knowledge learned while developing these systems beyond just winning races.
As mentioned, this is Honda's fifth foray into F1 racing, the first being back in 1964 when it participated as its own team through 1968. Its longest stint came from 1983-1992 as an engine supplier, during which time it partnered with many teams, including McLaren, and won six Constructor Championships. Honda then returned from 2000-2005 as an engine supplier for British American Racing (BAR) before buying that team outright and running it as Honda Racing from 2006-2008. Then the global economic crisis hit. Honda's return to the sport will surely be welcomed by fans as its partnership with McLaren should produce a formidable team. It's a strong signal that the company has returned to health after a few tumultuous years, and hopefully its rediscovered motorsports mojo will help yield more passionately engineered street cars.

2015 Honda HR-V looks fit for the urban jungle

Thu, 17 Apr 2014

Honda has been teasing us with the looks of its Fit-based compact crossover for months. Now the production version, dubbed the HR-V in the US, has finally been unveiled - in photographic form, at any rate - at the 2014 New York Auto Show. The CUV will slot into the brand's range this winter, and at the moment the company is keeping mum on many details about the new model.
The HR-V looks almost identical to the Urban SUV Concept unveiled at the Detroit Auto Show. The concept wore some nifty LED headlights and bigger wheels, but the rest of the styling has carried over to production. The handsome CUV sports diamond-shaped headlights, and a center bar splits the grille into two tiers. It has the same swoosh down the side running to the C-pillar, but it appears slightly less pronounced than in Detroit. The rear door handles are also hidden in the back pillar.
The compact crossover rides on the same platform as the new Fit. That allows it to take full advantage of the compact's highly versatile interior. The HR-V comes with Honda's Magic Seat that allows the back row to fold flat into the floor when needed.

Happy 40th birthday, Honda Accord!

Thu, Jun 30 2016

The Honda Accord exemplifies the idea that if you make something great, people will flock to it. This is a car that has always offered something for everyone – quality, fuel economy, value, comfort. But why we really love the Accord is because, as former Car and Driver Editor in Chief Csaba Csere says in the video above, "it always drove a little bit better than the competition." Today the Accord turns 40 years old. Over the past four decades Honda sold more than 12.7 million of them, making its iconic sedan the best-selling car in America during that time frame. Honda likes to point out that the Accord is still young at heart, as it's the most popular sedan with the under-35 crowd. View 29 Photos Like most people, the Accord has grown larger and heavier through the years. But the appeal remains strong. The current Accord is one of our favorite family sedans, and a target that the competition rarely hits. It's the car that's synonymous with Honda in America, and in fact the first car built here when the Japanese company started production in Ohio in 1982. Honda has taken a look back at the car with the video above, which chronicles the Accord's history. The video below is a nice (if cheesy) comparison of the original 1976 model and the 2016 Accord Hybrid. And below that there's a neat infographic that compares those two cars as well as what was going on in the world in 1976 versus now. So happy birthday, Accord. We hope we're still going as strong as you when we get to your age.
