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.

Acura NSX will use Cosworth block, plus other neat tidbits

Sat, Aug 15 2015

The blue NSX you see here was built just two weeks ago. Prototype number six, it rolled off Acura's newest assembly line in Ohio and was rushed out to the Monterey peninsula for various car week activities. We had a chance to sit down with several members of the NSX team to discuss the car, the long road from concept to production, and some interesting details. Below are some choice bits from our conversations. Acura is pretty proud of the fact that NSX version 2.0 was designed and is being built in the US. The new assembly line, called the Performance Manufacturing Center, is in Honda's hometown of Marysville, Ohio. While the line is brand new, the building has seen many uses over its lifetime, most recently as a warehouse facility. PMC staff numbers about 100, with 60 technical and 40 non-technical associates. The car uses parts sourced globally, and one of those sources is Cosworth. The engine blocks and heads come from the English firm and get assembled into twin-turbo powerhouses at Honda's nearby Anna, Ohio, engine plant. The Cosworth name is rarely associated with a bad engine, so we were geeked to hear the NSX's 550-plus-horsepower hybrid powertrain has good genes. Acura hasn't decided how many cars will come to the US each year, but supplies will be limited. We're told there is a total figure for global sales – basically anywhere Honda and Acura vehicles are sold – but they're not ready to divulge that number. Dealer allocation is also yet to be sorted out, although we're told that any dealer that has the necessary tools and equipment to service the new NSX will be able to sell them. Acura currently has 272 US dealers. The switch from the transverse engine originally planned to a longitudinal twin-turbo engine threw everyone involved for a loop. The designers had to lengthen their nearly finalized design, and the engineers working on the production process had to revise or redo much of their work. Though we've been waiting a while for the car since the concept first surfaced in 2012, it's pretty amazing to think that the car was engineered one and a half times and a new factory was built in about three years. But yeah, it's delayed, with series production now set to commence in the spring of 2016. One result of the switch to a longitudinal engine is a transmission hump in the cargo area aft of the engine. The hold is still sized to fit a bag of golf clubs, though it will be a tight fit.

2014 Honda Accord Hybrid [w/video]

Mon, 14 Oct 2013

Delivering On Promises
The 2014 Honda Accord Hybrid should surprise no one. Its look is something we've seen since the non-hybrid versions went on sale last year. Its powertrain, mostly, we are familiar with from the already-on-sale Accord Plug-In model. And the overall vibe of the car? Well, it's an Accord, which has been a strong seller in the US for three decades, so much so that there's a very good chance you've been in one at some point, whether you noticed or not.
Honda's first attempt at an Accord Hybrid, released in 2005, put dynamic performance first, but it didn't match the public's maturing perception of what a hybrid is all about: fuel economy. The 2005 version was capable of a measly 28 miles per gallon combined, 25 in the city and 33 on the highway. Remember those numbers, and that the first-generation Accord Hybrid lasted all of three model years before being axed.

Honda launches new JDM Odyssey, Mugen chips in [w/video]

Fri, 01 Nov 2013

Honda has just released its new Odyssey minivan for the Japanese Domestic Market, and it has plenty of style and room for up to eight people. Honda factory tuning company Mugen will also offer performance and styling parts for the fifth-generation minivan.
The Odyssey is offered in B and G trim with a 173-horsepower, 2.4-liter I-VTEC four-cylinder mated to a continuously variable transmission with optional paddle shifters and seven 'speeds.' The more upscale Odyssey Absolute features sportier styling, and but all models are available in either front-wheel drive or all-wheel drive.
The interior follows a "modern suite" design concept inspired by luxury hotels, with wood trim and comfortable-looking seats. Additionally, customers can choose between models with a lift-up second-row seat or a lift-up front passenger seat. Honda highlights the Odyssey's low floor height and high ceiling, which accentuates the spacious interior. The low floor also endows the minivan with a step height of 30 centimeters (11.8 inches) at the rear sliding door to afford easy entry.
