Up for sale is my 1998 Honda Turbo Coupe.  No expense was spared building up this car.  It is an extremely reliable daily driver with A/C, heat and power steering.  I never intended for it to be a race car although you certainly could use it as such. 

The engine was built from a bare block with forged rods and pistons, head studs, full valve job etc. 
A rebuilt transmission was purchased with carbon fiber syncros and an M-Factory limited slip that is streetable.  I very streetable Competition clutch was put to handle the extra power.  The car drives like stock and is just as smooth.  At least till you lay into the gas pedal then it takes off like a rocket. 

Since the car was a daily driver I wanted to keep it mostly stock looking and have that "sleeper" look.  You'll notice the car has a full 3" exhaust built but it exits behind the rear bumper where you can't see and the original tail pipe was welded in place as a decoy for a stock look.  Very sneaky :)  It's also very quiet and no one will ever know what's lurking under the hood.  I did include an electric cutout so when you feel the need to be loud and obnoxious open it up and have fun.

From the front you'll notice the intercooler in the lower bumper if you're a car person with a sharp eye but 99% of the people don't know the difference.  It's pretty funny watching various BMWs and other sedans that think they're fast try and pass you.

I had custom gauges made just for the car that go on the pillar in good taste.  They say "Honda Racing" on them and glow blue at night.  They look very sharp and I get a lot of complements on them all the time. 

All name brand parts were used on the turbo kit.  No cheap chinese knock off parts on there.  Precision turbo, Tial waste gate, HKS BOV, ID 1000 injectors which are absolute cream of the crop top of the line injectors and provide stock idle and drivability characteristics.  They were very expensive injectors but well worth the money.   The car has the Hondata S300 tuning system in it which is also top of the line and sort after.  It has a very user friendly user interface that will allow anyone to tinker with the tunes or build their own.  The vehicle also comes with a J&S Vampire anti-knock system.  This is a wonderful (and expensive) system that monitors for any knock and automatically pulls timing from the motor saving you from accidentally blowing it with to much timing or to little octane in the fuel. 

I have the car tuned on both 91 pump gas as well as E85.  On E85 the car can run a lot more boost and timing and honestly is down right dangerous it's so fast.  I would not recommend this car for a young driver with little driving experience. 

If you can keep your foot out of boost you'll still enjoy 30 ~ 32 mpg average driving around.  Absolutely fantastic for a daily driver.  If you have a lead foot and drive like every stop light is a drag race and every highway is a nascar track you're only going to see 24 ~ 26 which is still not bad at all considering the power.  My mixed driving of boost and normal driving seems to average me around 28+. I have put well over $10k into building this car up and that doesn't even include the original purchase price so my reserve of $6800 is a steal.  Unfortunately with 5 vehicles I don't hardly drive this one anymore so I'd rather someone gets to enjoy it instead of just sitting. I'm sure I've missed a lot of stuff I've done like upgraded fuel pumps, high powered cooling fans etc.  I'll try to update the post as I think of more stuff.

The build only has 7000 miles on it so you're getting basically a brand new engine and transmission.  Not to mention it's built strong and turbo'd!

Refreshed Honda Civic's first commercial is a minor mea culpa

Thu, 27 Dec 2012

Honda has officially rolled out the first ad for the 2013 Civic. The one-minute spot focuses on a number of clever inventions that improve on old themes, from rocket-powered parachutes to hover bikes and smart window shades, before shifting to the redesigned compact. Set to Santigold's "Disparate Youth," the ad culminates with the phrase, "Things can always be better." This is likely as close as we'll come to hearing Honda say, "we could have done better."
Unveiled at the 2012 LA Auto Show, the 2013 Civic features revised front and rear fascias, nicer cabin materials and an updated suspension just one year after the ninth-generation model debuted. That car received scaling reviews from critics, most notably Consumer Reports, who felt the 2012 Civic was a step backwards for a company known for producing high-quality, economical vehicles. You can check out the full ad for the 2013 Civic below before it debuts during the Rose Bowl.

2014 Honda Odyssey revamp only costs an extra $150*

Wed, 26 Jun 2013

Honda has released pricing on its 2014 Odyssey. Buyers can take home the revamped minivan for $28,825 (excluding an $830 destination fee). That price marks a $150 increase over the 2013 model, but that extra Benjamin and a half buys you a whole slate of updates. Those include a new six-speed automatic transmission in all trims, revised exterior styling and a few tweaks to the instrument cluster and dash controls. Honda's familiar 3.5-liter V6 engine provides 248 horsepower and 250 pound-feet of torque, and the new gearbox helps the van return 19 miles per gallon city and 28 mpg highway.
Of course, those who opt for the top-shelf $44,450* Touring Elite trim will get to play with the new HondaVac vacuum cleaner system. The handheld vac is built into the van's rear cargo area and recharges using the onboard 12-volt electrical system. The little vacuum features a removable debris canister as well as a replaceable filter bag and can run for eight minutes between charges. Check out the full press release below for more information.
