Hello and thanks for reading!

2002 Grand Prix White Honda S2000
Rare full red interior!
118,300 miles (daily driven so it will be going up slowly)
VIN: JHMAP11472T000102

I am the vehicle's fourth owner and have owned it since last summer. This car is so much fun but I want a truck or a WRX wagon! Time to get out into nature more and that's one thing she can't do.  I would prefer to sell to someone from the Northeast but will help a distant buyer to arrange shipping of the vehicle if requested.  Payment by cash/cashier's check or bank check is acceptable.

Mods:
-Gunmetal metallic SSR Integrals forged 17" staggered rims with black lugs (full set of stock rims included)
-1 month old Bridgestone RE-11a's (amazing grip, low noise, excellent in wet)
-Eibach Pro springs, 1.5" drop
-Eibach front sway for neutral handling
-AEM cold air intake with AFE Pro Dry S dry filter
-Invidia Q300 70mm dual SS exhaust (stock exhaust included)
-Rear axle spacers
-AP2 rear differential with slightly higher gear than stock (forgot exactly what ratio)
-Brand new soft top with glass rear window only used for one and a half summers
-35% tinted side windows
-Rick's smoked side markers
-S2000 side badges deleted
-Blue convex rear view and side mirrors (helps with top-up blind spots and lights)
-Tall tinted fold up privacy insert for between seat backs by Rick's
-Plastic inserts for seat helmet holes by Rick's (helps with wind noise by the ears)
-Fully insulated front door panels with upgraded woofers, tweeters and passive crossovers.
-Custom gunmetal badges to match rims
-Front license plate hole fillers in white
-Cool white LED cabin, trunk, license plate and backup lights
-Custom fitted subwoofer box for 12" (fits in tool cutout in trunk floor and takes up no space!)
-Alpine headunit
-Modifry globe box organizer
-Modifry soft top fix
-Modifry side marker mod and LED bulbs (not installed)
-Modify dash mount (not installed)

Cons:
-I went ahead and checked the Carfax and apparently the car has been in 3 accidents! This is really unfortunate to find out, but I would not have known it if it wasn't written out for me. Apparently the first two were fender benders and the last one popped the airbags.  The frame is perfectly fine, no rust on any joints or problems with the undercarriage, handles like a go kart and alignment is great. The body panels involved in the crashes have all been replaced and resprayed and there is not a drop of rust on it, which I suppose is braggable for a car from the Northeast. Ask me any questions about this and I'll be happy to answer them or send you the screenshots of the Carfax report.

-Some gears sound a little "crunchy". They have been like this since I got the car last summer. This does not happen on all gears! I want to clarify that this "crunchiness" is a sound not really a feeling and it has yet to affect the performance of a shift. No gears have slipped or missed... It sounds like worn synchros, but still functions fine, ironically smoother with more spirited driving.

-Left door panel tweeter grille is missing. I was in the process of installing the upgraded tweeters and due to my own miscalculations I made a mistake that left the grille modified but unusable in the current project. The right side is unaffected.

-Cracked plastic panel under the passenger side dash, barely noticeable in normal driving.

-Some rubbing on large bumps from driver's side rear tire... Went from 225s in rear to 235s and that plus the slightly wider offset of the new rims pushed it out a bit too far. Fenders have been rolled already but that side needs more work.

Thanks for looking and good luck!

180,000 new vehicles are sitting, derailed by lack of transport trains

Wed, 21 May 2014

If you're planning on buying a new car in the next month or so, you might want to pick from what's on the lot, because there could be a long wait for new vehicles from the factory. Locomotives continue to be in short supply in North America, and that's causing major delays for automakers trying to move assembled cars.
According to The Detroit News, there are about 180,000 new vehicles waiting to be transported by rail in North America at the moment. In a normal year, it would be about 69,000. The complications have been industry-wide. Toyota, General Motors, Honda and Ford all reported experiencing some delays, and Chrysler recently had hundreds of minivans sitting on the Detroit waterfront waiting to be shipped out.
The problem is twofold for automakers. First, the fracking boom in the Bakken oil field in the Plains and Canada is monopolizing many locomotives. Second, the long, harsh winter is still causing major delays in freight train travel. The bad weather forced trains to slow down and carry less weight, which caused a backup of goods to transport. The auto companies resorted to moving some vehicles by truck, which was a less efficient but necessary option.

How Seinfeld hopes he'll help industry make better car commercials [w/video]

Fri, 04 Oct 2013

Bloomberg has a fascinating look into a web series that continues to be a favorite around the Autoblog offices - Jerry Seinfeld's Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee. The series, which is in its second season, sees the affable comedian picking up fellow comedians in a range of interesting cars, and having conversations with them over the drive and a cup of joe.
The piece by Bloomberg dives into the development of the series, as well as Seinfeld's tie-up with Acura, which saw the Honda-owned brand begin sponsorship this season. That relationship started not with his web series, though, but with a Super Bowl ad, alongside fellow funnyman and car enthusiast Jay Leno, that saw them competing over a new Acura NSX. Have a click over to Bloomberg for an entertaining piece that looks beyond the YouTube series. We've also wrangled Seinfeld's original Super Bowl ad for the Acura NSX, which you can see below.

This is what Honda's new F1 engine will sound like

Fri, 18 Oct 2013

It appears that not even the legendary pairing of McLaren and Honda can produce a 2015-regulation Formula One engine that sounds as good as the current V8s. Much like Mercedes-AMG Petronas, McLaren Honda have released a clip of their turbocharged, 1.6-liter V6 ahead of next season, and well, at least to our ears, it's not the sweetest of singers.
We've reported on concerns that the new engines wouldn't sound "right," after years of the high-revving V8s and V10s. The more we're hearing of these new engines, the more reasonable those worries seem. That said, we'll need to wait until we really hear these cars driven in anger to render a final verdict.
Scroll down to view the official press release from Honda and to hear what the future McLaren Honda will sound like when it hits the grid in 2015. For comparison, we've also included some on-board footage of Jenson Button's McLaren's V8 from last season.
