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.

Analysts say Honda's growing woes in Europe not just the economy

Tue, 12 Feb 2013

There is no denying that the European auto market is taking its lumps right now - just ask Peugeot - but Honda might be taking this downturn on the chin a little harder than some of the other Japanese automakers doing business on the continent. Automotive News Europe is reporting that things have gotten so bad for Honda that it will be cutting 800 workers from Swindon, England plant that builds the CR-V, Civic and Jazz (a.k.a. Fit). This will be the first time Honda has made such cuts in more than 20 years.
Despite an increase in output last year over 2011 (165,607 units compared to 97,459), the Swindon plant is still running well below its full capacity (250,000/year), and its 66 percent capacity is less than the expected breakeven point of industry analysts (75 to 80 percent). Unlike in the US, however, Honda's new CR-V and Civic aren't selling well, and the similarly sized Nissan Qashqai is outselling the CR-V at a rate of more than five to one. Slow CR-V sales are blamed on a relatively high price and the crossover's conservative styling. On the complete opposite side of the spectrum, the report notes that Nissan continues to experience growth at its UK operations, leading analysts to suggest that Honda can't blame the sour economy for much of its woes.

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.

Recharge Wrap-up: VW exec predicts EVs with 375-mile range

Wed, Oct 8 2014

Volkswagen says EV ranges over 300 miles aren't too far in the future. Plug-in hybrids are merely a bridge to all-electric mobility becoming more practical for people who need to travel longer distances, according to Dr. Heinz-Jakob Neusser, Volkswagen's head of powertrain development. Energy density is increasing rapidly in new batteries. Speaking about the e-Golf, Neusser says, "I expect the next generation in 2015-17 will increase to around 300 km [186 miles] and the following step will be around 500-600 km [310-372 miles]." Neusser also says he believes that charging infrastructure will improve to catch up with these more advanced batteries. Read more at Motoring. BMW is offering higher incentives for the all-electric i3 than the range-extended version. More buyers are opting for the i3 REx, with its 78 extra miles of range. So, to move the standard i3 (which is already cheaper), BMW is offering $2,000 in incentives for October - double what is offered for the i3 REx. The added incentives help close the price gap between the BMW and other EVs with similar ranges. The deals won't last long, though. According to New Jersey BMW salesman Manny Antunes, BMW's current incentives are "as aggressive as they're going to get" for a while. Read more at Green Car Reports. Honda is changing its research and development process for all cars after a series of Fit Hybrid recalls. The hybrid version, which makes up more than half of all Fit sales in Japan, was the subject of four recalls within nine months. In response, Honda will change the way it develops cars worldwide, with one extra "gate" to pass in the process. Honda will do prototype testing earlier in the research process to see how separately developed components work together before moving onto the car's development phase. It will add time and cost to making cars, but Honda hopes it will help prevent problems - like those that come with a flurry of recalls - down the road. Read more at Automotive News.
