This is a 1989 Honda Prelude SI, manual transmission car. It is not running. The car has been stored under cover for a long time. We stored it in our carport while we were out of state. When we returned, something had built a nest in the timing belt. When we cranked it, it jumped time. We shut it down immediately. I replaced the head with a rebuilt head from National Cylinder head. The car ran fine with the rebuilt head. It did smoke on start up. The cylinder head came sealed in shrink wrap but it was obvious it had been on the shelf a long time. The ASE mechanic that helped me do the work felt a valve stem seal had dried out as the smoking was getting less every day we drove it. We had to go back out of state so the car sat again for a long period. When we returned there was a major problem with the electrical system. Something had gone to ground. Even with the charger on, it will not hold enough juice to light the headlights. Everything but the AC and the antenna retractor was operational when we stored it. The AC components are all there, but it was not operational. I have tried to show every defect in my photos, I have more pic's if you request them. Please ask questions, I'll do my best to answer them. There is rust in three places on the drivers side, specifically, a hole in the rocker panel behind the front wheel, two rust bubbles on the door, rust bubbles directly in front of the rear wheel. There is a scuff on the drivers side rear bumper corner. There are tears in the drivers side interior door panel where it closes. There is a small tear in the same place on the passenger door. The skylite is cracked but does not leak. There is a repaired chip in the windshield low in the center, not in your line of view. The undercarriage is solid most of the factory rustcoat is still in tact. When we replaced the head we did the timing belt and water pump. Also put a new fuel pump in it at that time. All the fluids were changed at that time, but they have sat in the vehicle now for over a year. The tires have decent tread but they should be replaced. As you can see from the undercarriage pics it need some exhaust work. There are not many of this body style classic Preludes left. This car needs lots of work but could be a great car for the right person. This car is sold AS IS, AS SHOWN, with no warranty expressed or implied. Please ask all the questions you can. I will be happy to answer them and provide more pics if you need them. Back around 2006 the car had a very minor accident. Bent the Front bumper support. Because of the age of the car, the insurance adjuster wanted to total the car. We disputed the action and won. We have the clear title on the car, and the body shop repair bill to repair the minor bumper support damage and the bumper skin.

2015 Fit Kit is the perfect DIY car from Honda

Mon, 31 Mar 2014

Ah... let the April Fools' Day automotive jokes begin. Honda is kicking things off, following up on last year's Honda Hair joke with a prank video featuring the 2015 Honda Fit.
It's called the Fit Kit, and as you might guess, it's a way to build your own version of the redesigned hatchback. There are 180,000 mechanical parts in the kit - some delivered by drone - but that doesn't seem at all daunting to the pair of obnoxious, self-described tinkerers that star in the Fit Kit ad.
Honestly, the video is pretty entertaining, with some biting satire of the DIY movement and its attendant cadre of mustachioed hipsters. Scroll down and have a look at both the video and the Fit Kit press release from Honda.

This is what Honda's new F1 engine will sound like

Fri, 18 Oct 2013

It appears that not even the legendary pairing of McLaren and Honda can produce a 2015-regulation Formula One engine that sounds as good as the current V8s. Much like Mercedes-AMG Petronas, McLaren Honda have released a clip of their turbocharged, 1.6-liter V6 ahead of next season, and well, at least to our ears, it's not the sweetest of singers.
We've reported on concerns that the new engines wouldn't sound "right," after years of the high-revving V8s and V10s. The more we're hearing of these new engines, the more reasonable those worries seem. That said, we'll need to wait until we really hear these cars driven in anger to render a final verdict.
Scroll down to view the official press release from Honda and to hear what the future McLaren Honda will sound like when it hits the grid in 2015. For comparison, we've also included some on-board footage of Jenson Button's McLaren's V8 from last season.

Takata doubling production of replacement airbag inflators

Wed, Feb 11 2015

Takata is scrambling to fill the massive backlog of orders for replacement airbag inflators, announcing that a recently completed pair of production lines are only the beginning of a production ramp up. The company has kicked up the pace on the two new production lines at its Monclova, Mexico factory, increasing the plant's production from 300,000 to 450,000 units per month. As AN reports, though, even at that pace, it'd take Takata years to produce enough replacements for the 25 million recalled vehicles. A spokesperson confirmed to AN that, globally, Takata will be producing 900,000 replacement airbag inflators by September. Even at that pace, it'd still take around two years to provide a new inflator for every affected vehicle. That's why other companies, perhaps smelling blood in the water, are providing their own replacements for the faulty inflators. We've already reported on Honda's plans to team with the world's largest airbag producer, Autoliv. Now, though, AN has confirmed that the Swedish supplier is in negotiations to provide millions of additional replacement inflators to other automakers affected by the Takata recall.
