Here’s a 1997 Honda Prelude (Base) 5-speed that I purchased on (5/6/10) from a local car auction here in North Carolina.  The car was issued a salvage title due to the fact that the insurance company said it would cost more to fix it, rather then the car was worth.  Below are the actual pictures taken when I purchased the car on (5/6/10) along with its current condition.  The car currently has 182,885 miles which is the same mileage when I purchased it.  My original plans were to rebuild the car from the ground up, and that’s the reason why I haven’t driven it. 

As you can see from the pictures I’ve either fixed or replaced what was originally broken with new parts.  The original engine that came with the car is in great shape.  It runs and drives because I’ve pulled it out of my garage from time to time to work on it.  I would advise the winner to have the car towed to not damage the car because it’s been sitting for over three years.  Know issues that need to be addressed (paint job, change gas, change brake fluid, change transmission fluid, and trunk latch needs to be adjusted).   

Everything you see in the pictures will be included with the car.  Please note that EBay limits ads to 24 pictures (so some items are not shown in the pictures, but will be included in the sale).  Below is list of what’s included.  The car, extra H22A engine, two turbochargers, two intercoolers, and etc. are to be sold as is.  Winner is responsible for all shipping charges.  Local pick up preferred.  Forms of payment accepted (Paypal or certified U.S. bank issued cashiers check).  Note: **Denotes new parts that I already installed, or in original box waiting to be installed.  There is No Reserve! Happy bidding.

I would like to sell the car, but I would entertain a trade of comparable value. There are well over $11,000 in car and parts. The list of cars I would trade for must be fully functional (I.e. Run, Start, Drive) with no significant issues... Here's the list of what I would possibly trade for: Audi A4 1.8t/2.0t, Dodge SRT-4, Mitsubishi VR-4, BMW Z-3, Mini Cooper S, Mazda RX8, Toyota MR-2 (Last Generation Made), Honda S2000, BMW 3 Series (00-newer), Saab 9-2x, Miata (99 or newer), VW Golf GTi (00-Newer), Mitsubishi Evolution, Acura RSX, Audi TT, Saturn Sky, Pontiac Solstice, Chrysler Crossfire, Porsche Boxster, or Corvette (98-newer).

There are no liens on this vehicle.  I currently have the title in hand...  Ready to sign over to the new owner.

Honda Civic overtakes Toyota Corolla as America's best-selling compact

Mon, 04 Nov 2013

The battle to claim October's best-selling compact sedan title has been won by the Honda Civic. The Japanese four-door sold 27,328 units, leaving the Toyota Corolla - September's title holder - in its wake with 23,637 units sold. In terms of year-to-date sales, the Civic sits at 280,899 units, with the Corolla trailing at 257,184 vehicles.
Sitting in third place, separated by a significant gap from the leaders, is the Chevrolet Cruze with 16,087 units sold. The Ford Focus earned fourth, with 15,108 units moved out of showrooms. (It is interesting to note that while the Civic and Corolla have both enjoyed double-digit sales increases year-over-year, the Cruze and Focus have seen significant decreases during the same period.)
Sales of the Hyundai Elantra hit 14,876 units, putting it in fifth place, with the Volkswagen Jetta earning sixth place with 11,710 units. Rounding out the ten top sellers were the Nissan Sentra (8,399 units), Mazda3 (7,647 units), Dodge Dart (5,617 units) and Subaru Impreza/WRX (4,923 units). The Kia Forte (4,706 units) and Volkswagen Golf (2,249 units), eleventh and twelfth respectively, have fallen behind.

McLaren working on P15 supercar to slot between 650S and P1

Thu, 20 Mar 2014

McLaren has been busy these past few years. It launched the MP4-12C in 2011, the 12C Spider in 2012, the P1 in 2013 and (most recently) the 650S in 2014. But it's not about to stop there. It's got an "entry-level" model in the works, set to take on the Porsche 911, and - according to information reported by Car and Driver and confirmed by McLaren in correspondence with Autoblog - a new flagship model, too.
The project is internally codenamed P15, and it calls for a new flagship that will cap the company's lineup once the P1 finishes its limited production run, but carry a price tag in the neighborhood of $500k to slot in between the P1 and the new 650S.
Just how, you wonder, can McLaren possibly develop another supercar each year? Simple: underneath, they're all essentially the same. (Only we're sure it's anything but simple.) That is to say they're all based on the same carbon monocoque structure and powered by the same 3.8-liter twin-turbo V8 mated to a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission driving the rear wheels. What differentiates them is what the engineers in Woking build around that monocoque and how they tune the engine: +/- 600 horsepower in the 12C (depending on the year it was built), 640 hp in the 650S, or 727 hp in the P1 (with another 177 from the electric assist). The 911 fighter would likely develop in the 500hp range, and the P15 will probably land in the upper 600 (or lower 700) range.

Ward's reveals annual 10 Best Engines list for 2013

Thu, 13 Dec 2012

Ward's Auto has released its annual 10 Best Engines award winners. The 2013 list covers the full width and breadth of the internal combustion spectrum, from a spate of efficient four-cylinders to the most powerful production V8 on the planet. As always, the entries must be available in a production vehicle in the first quarter of 2013 with an MSRP of less than $55,000. The supercharged 3.0-liter V6 from the Audi S5 held on for the fourth consecutive year, and BMW earned two spots on the list with its turbo 2.0-liter four-cylinder and turbo 3.0-liter inline-six.
Ford pulled in two awards for its 2.0-liter EcoBoost four-cylinder and and the supercharged 5.8-liter V8 from the Shelby GT500. Honda matched BMW and Ford with two wins of its own. Wards awarded the 2.4-liter four-cylinder from the Honda Accord Sport as well as the 3.5-liter V6 from the Honda Accord. Chrysler, General Motors and Subaru each garnered a spot on the list as well for the 3.6-liter V6 in the Ram 1500, the turbo 2.0-liter four-cylinder in the Cadillac ATS and the 2.0-liter four-cylinder the Subaru BRZ, respectively.
