Condition: Clean title and extremely clean inside and out. It has a rust free body and even the brake lines running to the rear are still shiny etc.
The car had been lightly backed into and creased the RF fender. It was later scraped on the LF fender and front bumper fascia (also took off a 1/2" chip of paint on the drivers mirror that was touched up). All replacements were with OEM Honda parts and professionally painted with premium paint. The front bumper was very recently replaced with an OEM Honda part and professionally painted with premium paints and clear coats. All other body panels are original paint etc. A few very small dings due to storage damage can be found. See pictures of the small gouges on the rear bumper (drivers side)...they were touched up but are noticeable up close. The carbon fiber hood was painted to match and has hood pins in place for safety (a few very minor cracks were created when installing the hood pins but have not changed in 15 years). The window tinting was just professionally removed. Meticulously maintained! Mobil 1 was used exclusively with either Honda or Mobil 1 oil filters only. Oil level has never dropped between changes. New timing belt, water pump, drive belts installed. Fresh valve adjustment and the K&N air filter has just been cleaned, dried, oiled and re-installed. Motul RBF (Racing Brake Fluid) has been changed regularly. Cam seal had a slight leak and was just repaired. CV boots were replaced 10,000 miles ago. Clutch was replaced 15,000 miles ago. A/C is nice and cold. The factory windshield was replaced 8,000 miles ago. There was one very small rock chip in the middle of the passenger side since but it has been professionally repaired so it will not spread. Suspension is firm but not at all bouncy. Note:The Michelin Pilot Exalto PE2 ultra high performance summer tires are showing their age with some cracking(due to being stored so much) and have 1/8" tread life remaining (see pictures).

History: I purchased the vehicle new in 1996 from Bellevue Honda in Bellevue (Omaha), Nebraska. The car was always garaged in the snow belt and rarely driven in winter. I kept the underside washed all the time when/if it was exposed to snow. I then lived in Phoenix, AZ for 5 years (no rust obviously) and finally here in SW Ohio but only drove it a few times in snow here as well. The car was pictured in Sport Compact Car magazine as it was the cover vehicle for the Honda Hybrid web page for a few months in 1998. It has had several upgrades since then as you can tell from the lists above. The engine had just over 33,000 kilometers on it when installed and the car had 40,000 miles. I have never drag raced the car. I did run the car on Laguna Seca with street legal tires and Honda OEM pads. Fast lap was 1 minute 52 seconds and that was prior to limited slip being installed. I also had the pleasure of driving it to and in performance driving schools at Gingerman Raceway, Phoenix International (road course), Buttonwillow, Willow Springs, Second Creek Raceway (no longer exists in Colorado), Brainerd International and the Las Vegas Speedway (road course). On street tires I would average 38MPG at 75MPH. Car comes with it's 2 original keys and an Alpine remote. Unfortunately I have not been be really using this car for the purpose it was built for quite a few years. As you can see, no cheap parts were ever put on this car. I was even married in it! |

Sporty cars from the '80s get retro reviews from MotorWeek
Tue, Mar 10 2015The more things change, the more they stay the same. That's the feeling we're left with after watching the retro-review video above, in which MotorWeek – television's original automotive magazine, as if you didn't already know – takes a look at the 1984 Honda Prelude. A sporty coupe from Japan that lacks the outright performance and thrust of comparable American and European competitors, but makes any perceived slight up with unarguably supreme driving dynamics? That sounds sort of familiar, doesn't it? As always, we love taking a look back at the early days of MotorWeek (the more things change, they more they stay the same, remember?). And it doesn't end there. Far from it, in fact. Not only did MotorWeek bestow upon us the Prelude, Maryland's favorite public television show also unleashed retro reviews of (deep breath) the '82 Fiat X1/9, '84 Olds Cutlass, '88 Lotus Esprit Turbo, '84 Nissan 200SX Turbo, '88 Subaru XT6, '88 Toyota Celica All Trac, '84 Ford EXP Turbo, '89 Suzuki Swift GTi and '89 Mazda 323 GTX.

Honda and Mugen take tuned rides to Tokyo Auto Salon
Tue, Dec 29 2015The Makuhari Messe will open its doors in a couple of weeks for the 2016 Tokyo Auto Salon, featuring all manner of custom creations from Japan's automakers. And Honda will be out in force with an array of roadsters, hatchbacks, minivans, and crossovers. Included among them will be some modified with parts from the company's Modulo customization catalog, but the ones we're most interested are being prepared by its longtime performance partner Mugen. Mugen was founded decades ago by Hirotashi Honda, son of Soichiro Honda, the man who started the motor company for which his name is best known. Over the years Mugen has prepared Honda engines and vehicles for motorsport competition, but also customizes the company's road cars for higher levels of performance. At the Tokyo salon, Honda and Mugen will display two amped-up takes on the S660 roadster, along with a Civic Type R featuring even more extreme aero appendages, plus a modified Step WGN Spada minivan and a customized HR-V crossover. Alongside the Mugen show cars, Honda will also display an array of Modulo custom concepts. The lineup includes accessorized versions of the S660, Civic Type R, and Step WGN, but also customized takes on the Fit, N-One, and N-Box. While it's at it, Honda will also showcase some of its racing machinery and motorcycles, including the McLaren-Honda MP4-30, NSX Concept-GT, and the Concept CB cafe racer it displayed at the main Tokyo Motor Show a few months ago. Scope out all the modified automobiles in the Mugen gallery above and the Modulo gallery below for a closer look. Related Video:
McLaren working on P15 supercar to slot between 650S and P1
Thu, 20 Mar 2014McLaren has been busy these past few years. It launched the MP4-12C in 2011, the 12C Spider in 2012, the P1 in 2013 and (most recently) the 650S in 2014. But it's not about to stop there. It's got an "entry-level" model in the works, set to take on the Porsche 911, and - according to information reported by Car and Driver and confirmed by McLaren in correspondence with Autoblog - a new flagship model, too.
The project is internally codenamed P15, and it calls for a new flagship that will cap the company's lineup once the P1 finishes its limited production run, but carry a price tag in the neighborhood of $500k to slot in between the P1 and the new 650S.
Just how, you wonder, can McLaren possibly develop another supercar each year? Simple: underneath, they're all essentially the same. (Only we're sure it's anything but simple.) That is to say they're all based on the same carbon monocoque structure and powered by the same 3.8-liter twin-turbo V8 mated to a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission driving the rear wheels. What differentiates them is what the engineers in Woking build around that monocoque and how they tune the engine: +/- 600 horsepower in the 12C (depending on the year it was built), 640 hp in the 650S, or 727 hp in the P1 (with another 177 from the electric assist). The 911 fighter would likely develop in the 500hp range, and the P15 will probably land in the upper 600 (or lower 700) range.
