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.

10 of 18 midsize SUVs earn 'good' IIHS side impact safety rating

Wed, May 18 2022

It's not terribly surprising that midsize SUVs earned better safety ratings than small SUVs in the latest side-impact tests performed by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS). Just how much better they scored, on the other hand, certainly raises an eyebrow. Ten out of 18 midsize SUVs earned the highest rating of 'good' in the stringent new test, altered for vehicles starting with the 2020 model year with a heavier barrier (4,200 pounds) that moves at a higher speed (37 miles per hour) and is fitted with a hard honeycomb frontal structure. By way of contrast, just one out of of 20 small SUVs earned a 'good' score.Â SUVs that receiving 'good' scores were the Ford Explorer, Infiniti QX60, Lincoln Aviator, Mazda CX-9, Nissan Pathfinder, Subaru Ascent, Toyota Highlander, Volkswagen Atlas, Volkswagen Atlas Cross Sport and Volkswagen ID.4. For EV fans, it's worth noting the ID.4 was the only electric vehicle included in the test. The Buick Enclave and Chevrolet Traverse scraped away with 'acceptable' ratings while the Honda Passport, Honda Pilot, Hyundai Palisade, Jeep Wrangler 4-door, Kia Telluride and Nissan Murano were deemed merely 'marginal' in the tough new test. Only two models — the Mazda CX-9 and Volkswagen ID.4 Â— earned a "Good" rating in every test category.Â Interestingly, the Jeep Wrangler would have scored a 'good' rating if it were equipped with side airbags for the rear seating positions. It would likely be an engineering challenge to equip its removable top and/or doors with airbags, but the lack of that safety feature allowed the head of the rear passenger dummy to hit the vertical support of the top. Otherwise, the Wrangler scored good ratings across the board. The new Ford Bronco, which makes more allowances for side-impact safety, has not yet been tested.Â The popular Hyundai Palisade and Kia Telluride SUVs stand out in the test with 'poor' ratings for driver pelvis injuries. The Nissan Murano, a vehicle last redesigned for the 2015 model year, was the only vehicle tested that received a 'poor' rating for its structure and safety cage. Videos of the tests of 12 of these 18 SUVs can be found on the IIHS' YouTube page.

2016 Honda Pilot is brand's first non-hybrid with stop-start

Sat, Feb 14 2015

Honda has gotten rid of the boxy styling of the outgoing Pilot for a more aerodynamic look that mimics its smaller sibling, the popular CR-V. The 2016 Honda Pilot – which goes on sale this summer Â– has a larger, eight-inch display screen, an improved navigation system and up to five USB ports to power the family's devices. The new Pilot was introduced at the 2015 Chicago Auto Show this week. New amenities include an optional heated steering wheel and heated second-row seats. Under the hood is a new 3.5-liter, direct injected V-6 engine with start-stop technology Â– Honda calls it " Idle Stop technology" Â– to save on fuel. Buyers can choose one of two new transmissions, a six-speed or a nine-speed, and front-wheel-drive or all-wheel-drive configurations. Green Car Congress notes that this is the first time Honda has put stop-start technology into a non-hybrid vehicle. Fuel economy wasn't announced, but increased use of lighter materials has dropped 300 pounds of weight, so the new Pilot should beat the old model's 25 mpg on the highway. New safety features include LED high beams that automatically dim for oncoming traffic and Honda's first road departure mitigation system - borrowed from Acura - which monitors the vehicle's road position and can correct the steering or brake if it senses an imminent collision.
