This is a fun car! I have owned it for a couple of years, making improvements all along. When I got it a fresh paint job had just been done by the local community college with a black and red metal flake. I added the pin stripes and vinyl lady bugs. All that can be removed. The lady bugs are because wife did not want large Asian dragon that I chose! lol! The wheels have hand painted trim. Good tires. New brake pads and drilled and slotted rotors all the way around. I replaced seats with 1989 seats, did not realize they would not just drop in so I had to fabricate mountings, they do not slide back and forth but the originals were shot. I do still have them I think, at least one but I cut some mounting parts of if I remember correctly. The windows have a legal tinting. There is an alpine stereo and new speakers. New floor mats. When I got it there was a new clutch, timing belt, and the flywheel had been lightened. I have replaced the radiator, idle air control valve, injectors, head, water pump, new exhaust with stainless headers, muffler, all the way back. Has a good rumble that is not that cat back pooting sound. Most of the engine still has emissions stuff, I have also made a sort of cold air intake, just a new filter and intake arrangement really. Powder coating and painting of engine parts. Spare clutch cable. It needs a few things like the thermovacuum switch on the thermostat housing. The drivers door is a pain, if you don't unlock it before you try to open it from the inside it will stick and you will have to open the window and open from the outside- can't figure that one out. I believe some of the smog stuff still needs replacing.Sometimes it smokes until it is warm, not sure about that either with new valve seals on the head? The compression is above 175# on all cylinders. I have not exceeded 4000 rpm. A/C works but could probably use a leak check and the fan is weak as they all are. I have added some fog lights and red ground effect lighting. New headlights. I may have forgotten some things as I have done so much but I like it and trust it at over 30 mpg! It is a classic head turner! I can take more pictures if you want, I already had these on my computer. All in all it is a fun sporty classical car! I am only selling because I have too many and am shifting priorities to a Toyota Supra. I am listing locally so reserve the right to sell locally. This is an ad so make an offer. Thanks.

Ever wonder how to really pronounce Japanese automaker names?
Thu, 25 Sep 2014People tend to get very set in their ways when it comes to the pronunciation of words. Just look at the endless debates over whether or not to say the final 'e' in Porsche (which you should in terms of correct German enunciation). Or the argument about whether to follow the British convention and give the 'u' in Jaguar a special delivery or to say the 'ua' diphthong as more of a 'w' sound, as usually happens in the US.
This short video doesn't answer either of those automotive questions, but it does allow a native Japanese speaker to demonstrate the accepted pronunciations for several, major automakers from the country. One benefit is that it clears up the occasional debate over whether Nissan should be said with a long or short 'i' sound. Also, listen closely to how the female host says Mazda as Matsuda, the way it's actually said in the language. Even if this doesn't change the way you enunciate these brands, at least now you know the accurate way in Japanese.
Honda insiders push for Acura NSX Type R sans hybrid tech
Thu, Mar 10 2016With 500 horsepower on tap from a sophisticated hybrid powertrain, there's plenty to love about the new Acura NSX. If the more performance-oriented elements within the Japanese automaker get their way, it could get even better. Speaking with one of the NSX project's chief engineers Nick Robinson at the launch of the new supercar, Autocar reports that there's an effort underway to develop an NSX Type R. Following a much-loved formula, the more extreme variant would pack even more power than the existing version, unburdened by excess weight. A big part of the targeted weight savings would come from ditching some of the heavier components from the hybrid system. The electric motor at the rear could stay to serve as alternator, starter motor, and flywheel. But the electric motors at the front would go, helping to shed a few hundred pounds. Throw in some lightweight materials and we'd be looking at a considerable weight reduction. It could even integrate some active aerodynamic elements that were excluded from the NSX on the road to production. Though the project may still be a ways off from getting the green light, but Robinson and some of his colleagues are working on prototypes ostensibly to make the case. He and his brother James (a powertrain engineer at Honda) will be driving a pair of NSXs at Pikes Peak this year – one that's as close to showroom stock as the regulations will allow, but the other will be closer to what they have in mind for a Type R. It'll ditch the hybrid system and put an electric compressor in its place to eliminate any turbo lag and produce even more power than the existing model. Now if they can only get the go-ahead from the higher-ups at Honda.

Honda releases H2O brand bottled water to promote FCX Clarity
Thu, May 15 2014Remember when Hollywood stars Diane Kruger (Inglourious Basterds) and Joshua Jackson (Fringe) took a Mercedes-Benz B-Class F-Cell into Death Valley and "survived" by drinking water from the car's tailpipe? Honda has taken that idea into movie theaters in Australia. The idea, but not fuel cell water itself. Honda has created a bottled water brande called H2O, and it's meant to promote the hydrogen-powered Honda FCX Clarity as part of Honda's "clever thinking" campaign. The headline message, just as it was for Mercedes, is that a hydrogen fuel cell car emits nothing but water vapor, which is actually safe to drink. To give movie fans a hands-on experience, Honda Australia filled a number of Palace Cinemas movie theaters with free disposable bottles of H2O water. Of course, since there are only a handful of FCX Clarity vehicles in the world today and it would take a lot of driving to fill up that many bottles, Honda admits that, "if you're holding a bottle of our specially produced H2O water in your hand right now, you've been drinking plain old spring water. If you want to taste the real thing, you'll have to travel to California, Japan or the UK where the FCX is currently available." Of course, why anyone would want to associate themselves with the unending waste that is bottle water, a product that has not proven itself to be any better than good tap water, is beyond us. But that's what Honda is doing, as you can see in the promotional video about the stunt below. This content is hosted by a third party. To view it, please update your privacy preferences.
