This is a great car for summer. I have had it for many years, but it is time for me to sell it. It is in amazing condition. I have taken care of it like it was a new car. Take a look at the pictures, especially the interior and it looks flawless.

The engine has been replaced with a fully built Japanese H22A engine, and only about 25,000 KM on it. It makes about 450 horsepower with it's giant turbo. You can hear the air sucking in on the highway. There is a twin plate racing clutch to handle all of the power.

I have installed a glass sunroof which opens up the inside of the car. The interior is in near perfect condition. There are a few blemishes on the outside, but that is to be expected on an older car. It was repainted about 5 years ago.

It has an electronic boost controller, along with other electronic gauges inside that you can watch while driving. Alpine deck, amp and speakers are installed. The car uses 93 octane fuel. It is tuned with a Hondata S300 ECU. You can connect your laptop to the car while it is running to monitor all aspects of the engine. It has an immobilizer installed.

Listing of some of the main parts added:
-Garrett Turbo charger making 450 horsepower
-Intercooler with blow-off valve
-Tein racing suspension. The car has also been lowered for better handling
-Carbon Fibre hood
-Buddy Club rims with Dunlop Dirreza summer tires for amazing grip
-Custom 3 inch exhaust
-Oil cooler
-Limited Slip Differential
-Fully built and forged internal shortblock

There are many other parts, too many to list here; over $20,000 in parts alone invested, not including labor or the price of the car itself. For a full list of parts, please see the picture with all of the parts installed.

The tint is starting to age and needs to be removed. There is also some damage on the front bumper lip, but this can be replace or repaired fairly easily. It is not part of the actual bumper.

Comes with official service manual and other documents for the parts.

Buyer is responsible for any costs associated with picking up or shipping the vehicle. Shipping must be arranged by the buyer. This car is sold as is; there are no warranties or guarantees.

Preferred payment of payment is a direct wire transfer.

If you have any questions, send me a message and I will answer it as soon as possible.

Honda execs take 'quality-related' pay cut after Fit Hybrid's 5th recall

Thu, 23 Oct 2014

Generally, the best policy in life is to admit when you're wrong and just accept the consequences. However, that attitude generally seems to be a bit less common in the world of business - at least without some government or legal prodding. So, it's especially surprising to learn that top Honda executives in Japan are taking a pay cut for the next three months following the fifth recall of the Fit Hybrid (pictured above) in the last 12 months.
According to Reuters, Chief Executive Takanobu Ito is taking a 20-percent pay cut to make amends for the quality issues. Also, 12 other high-ranking executives are taking 10 percent drops in their salaries. In addition to those temporary changes, Honda is creating a new position in charge of monitoring vehicle quality.
The latest recall fixes "noise-related defects," according to Reuters, on both the hybrid and naturally aspirated versions of the Fit, both variants of the Vezel (the sibling to the future HR-V in the US) and the N-WGN. There have also been three recalls for problems with the hybrid's seven-speed dual-clutch transmission. None of them have caused reported injuries or deaths, and these issues haven't affected US models.

2016: The year we talked about autonomy a bunch | Autoblog Podcast #497

Thu, Dec 22 2016

This week on the Autoblog Podcast, Mike Austin and David Gluckman take a look back at one of the biggest topics of 2016: autonomous driving. The thing is, there was a lot of news about autonomous driving, but not much in the way of autonomous cars you can buy. They also talk about what they've been driving lately - there was a good turbocharged compact car and a not-so-good turbocharged compact car. And then we round out the year with a quick Spend My Money. The podcast will take a break next week, but we'll be back in the new year with reports from CES and the 2017 Detroit Auto Show. And we're lining up some fun guests for future recordings. The rundown is below.

6 best cars for $5,000

Sat, Aug 11 2018

Looking for a great used car but only have a few thousand bucks to spend? Check out our 6 favorite used vehicles that you can get for around $5,000 or less. 1. 2004-2006 Subaru WRX The Subaru Impreza WRX offers a lot of what you might want in a vehicle. A 2L turbocharged engine gives 227 horsepower and it gets 27 mpg on the highway. 2. 2006-2015 Mazda5 The Mazda5 never got the sales it deserved. It was affordable and more maneuverable than most vehicles, but it never took off. It was based on the Mazda3, and felt like it as well... just a bigger version. If you're lucky, you'll be able to locate one with a manual transmission. 3. 1990-1997 Mazda MX-5 Miata A car that's praised for rewarding the driver. The shifter is sublime, and the controls are light and accurate. The 1.6-liter engine that makes 115 horsepower or a 1.8-liter that makes 128 horsepower are our preferred versions. 4. 2009-2013 Honda Fit Beside being cute, it's supremely practical and great in the city. It manages to be pretty entertaining to drive, and let's not forget it's a hatchback. 5. 1987-2006 Jeep Wrangler Yes, it's possible to get a well-loved Jeep Wrangler with about 100,000 miles on the odometer. In many ways, a Wrangler is perfect for the snowy winters with its unrivaled 4x4 capability. An SUV, convertible and icon, all in one? What more could you ask for? 6. 2002 Chevy Silverado Truck lovers, we have you covered. We love the Chevy Silverado with a 5.3-liter V8 engine and a 4-speed automatic transmission. It makes a great second car, especially if you already have a fuel efficient vehicle around the house. What would you buy for $5,000?
