Up for sale is a 1997 Honda Prelude that has been in the family since 1998. It was originally an automatic but my father had a manual professionally installed before he gave it to me. The car was given to me in 2007 and the first thing i did was have the suspension bushings replaced with an energy suspension bushing kit along with skunk 2 lowering springs 2''. In 2009 I had the motor rebuilt by JE Import performance. The list is long, here it is. Engine tear down, clean flush, blueprint, balance. 5 angle valve job on B series DOHC head. H22A connecting rods H3D set of four. H22A4 Superdeck Darton sleeves with line hone of main journals and final hone of cylinders. ERL H22A balance Shaft Elimination kit. ERL Engine box. H22A 89mm 11.5:1 Piston set. Cometic Head Gasket 97mm bore .030" thick and ARP head stud kit. OEM timing belt, water pump, oil pump. Skunk 2 stage 2 top end including camshafts, titanium valve spring retainers, adjustable cam gears with exposed timing belt. AC was disabled with shorter serpentine belt! Skunk 2 intake manifold, 440cc injectors, s-100 hondata system p28 prepped obd1 conversion harness, test pipe, apexi ws2 silenced exhaust, dc header, short air intake. Dyno tuned at 222 wheel hp at 8200 rpm. The motor currently has 24,000 miles.
The car was in a minor accident in 2004 but was repaired right away. The car also has minor rust spots on the inner rear fenders that can be easily repaired. The car also needs the rear chambers adjusted in a front end alignment to eliminate inner tread wear. The wear is slight but it is there, has front chambers as well but they don't seem to wear at all. there are about 5 or 6 small dents but excellent condition for all the preludes that i see on the road.
Overall the car is in excellent shape for being 5 years away from classified historic. JE imports mentioned to me that my motor could be turbo charged and handle it fine the way its built with lower boost and the timing and tune readjusted. I have babied the car (never taken past 7500 rpms even though it red lines at 8200. i Love the prelude so much but the time has arrived that i need something more practical sadly spoken. You can contact me at 410-292-3128. Leave me a voice mail or text, i usually do not answer unknown numbers. I will need a certified check for currency transaction. Test drives will be given by me if necessary.

2018 L.A. Auto Show: 5-plus takeaways on Jeep, Honda, Porsche and more
Thu, Nov 29 2018The 2018 L.A. Auto Show is making a strong case that auto shows aren't dead. Carmakers are ladling out sports cars and SUVs featuring serious style and performance in Los Angeles, and it's a feast for the senses. We're talking the new Porsche 911, the long-awaited Jeep Gladiator and the stylish Mazda3. It's the best car show with the most important reveals since the 2018 Detroit Auto Show kicked off the year. Here are some quick reactions: The 2019 Jeep Gladiator is a rock star When the story went live on Autoblog, our traffic went straight up. I've literally never seen the graph go straight up. So yeah, you guys seem to like it. I do, too. It's everything I want in a vehicle, including enough of a retro feel that it satisfies my cravings for an old Cherokee XJ. It's more capable and likely more expensive than I originally anticipated, but Jeep is going to have to expand its Toledo factory to keep up with demand. Don't be fooled by whatever the politicians say when that happens. It's because people like Jeeps and pickups, and this is the hero sandwich of all of that. I'd likely go with the 3.6-liter and a manual transmission if I were buying a Gladiator, but the diesel is compelling, too. Gladiator is a great name, drenched in history. I like it better than Scrambler, which never felt right to me. Only issue: It's a little over-the-top. Imagine this conversation: "So, ready to go to Panera?" "Sure, let's take the Gladiator." I mean, it's a bit much to refer to your personal vehicle as the Gladiator. Unless Russell Crowe is driving it. Then it's fine. The 2020 Porsche 911 is conservatively brilliant Every time I drive a 718 Cayman, Jaguar F-Type or another 911 challenger, I wonder if the 911 may be over the hill. It's not. And it likely never will be. This latest generation, dubbed 992 in Porsche-speak, stayed the course. The back takes some Mission E stylings that give the 911 a more modern feel. The flat six gets a little more power. The digital-heavy interior looks futuristic and slick. But overall, it's a blocking-and-tackling update that should satisfy the purists and maybe draw in a few new Porsche fans. It's the right time for the 2019 Honda Passport This slots between the Honda CR-V and the Honda Pilot. That's serious segmentation, but it's another crossover, and it's undoubtedly what the people want.
Honda to field this awesome Civic Tourer wagon in BTCC next season
Tue, 03 Dec 2013We all know that the letters BTCC stand for British Touring Car Championship. But one of those Cs might as well stand for Civic, so dominant has the Honda team been in one of the most competitive tin-top racing series in the world. Honda has taken the manufacturers' and teams' titles in the BTCC for the past four years running, and the championship-winning drivers for the past three years have claimed the prize behind the wheel of a Civic. While that might have proven enough for any other manufacturer, Honda is returning again next season to defend its dominant position, and has just revealed the new car with which it intends to do so.
Next year Honda will be back on the grid with another Civic, only this time it's based on the new Euro-spec Civic Tourer. That will make Honda the only team in the BTCC (and one of only a few worldwide) fielding a wagon-based racing car. In announcing the new BTCC-spec Civic Tourer, the Honda Yuasa Racing team only released this one photo and didn't reveal much in the way of details, but team manager Peter Crolla indicated that "the weight, wheelbase, layout and suspension remain the same" as the hatchback which it will replace, only with a longer roofline.
Testing of the new touring wagon will commence in January before returning champions Gordon Shedden and Matt Neal will pilot the new Civic Tourer in the season opener at Brands Hatch in the UK in late March. It remains to be seen what car Andrew Jordan (who took the title this year in another Civic with the Pirtek Racing team) will be driving next season, but in the meantime, you can check out the full press release below for more.
