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.

Watch these guys creatively cover No Diggity in a Honda Civic

Mon, 17 Feb 2014

People do some weird things in their cars. Take these two gentlemen and their Honda Civic. Rather than tune in to satellite radio or hook up an iPod, they've opted to create their own music.
YouTube musician Flula (in the passenger seat) and his friend Chester perform a cover of Blackstreet's Number-One Billboard hit, "No Diggity," complete with the requisite auto tuning, all while on the go. Is it weird that we almost prefer this wacky version to the original '90s R&B classic? Take a look - and a listen - by scrolling below, and note that we've included the original song featuring Dr. Dre... you know, for comparative purposes.

2023 CES Editors' Picks

Mon, Jan 9 2023

Over the past few years, it has become more and more clear that the Consumer Electronics Show is a car show. And this year that reality is more clear than ever. Not only did established automakers show off seriously important vehicles, but a traditional electronics company brought a car that gives an idea of its intents (with the help of establishment car company). With so many car reveals, we had to rank our favorites. Our picks for this show are entirely electric. Or at least, they are on paper, since many are concepts. Considering the name of the show, it would be a little strange if they weren't. In fact, not only are many of our favorites concepts, they all are save for one. See how they shook out below. VW ID7 camo View 28 Photos 5. Volkswagen ID.7 "The ID.7 definitely got lost in the crowd at CES. That it was camouflaged definitely didn't help, even if that camo was electroluminescent (BMW trumped it big time with its color-changing Dee). Nevertheless, this is a close-to-production hatchback-ed sedan, not unlike today's Arteon, with an extra-long wheelbase courtesy its EV architecture. It should be a solid answer to the Tesla Model 3 and Hyundai Ioniq 6, and even if people obviously prefer SUVs now, VW says there is still a market for sedans. I know I'd probably prefer one." –Senior Editor, West Coast and Reviews, James Riswick Peugeot Inception concept View 12 Photos 4. Peugeot Inception "It's not often that show debuts surprise us. While Peugeot teased the Inception ahead of CES, its unveiling seemed almost incidental. But just look at this thing; it's like an electric French Mustang with someplace important to be. I don't buy into the stupid 'It's not a wheel!' thing that Peugeot CEO Linda Jackson described as providing a video-game-like drive experience, but that bit of silliness aside, this is a really promising design study. Give us more of these and fewer tall boxes, please." –Associate Editor Byron Hurd Afeela prototype from Sony Honda Mobility View 11 Photos 3. Afeela by Sony Honda “Ever since Sony showed off an impressively put-together concept car at CES a few years ago, IÂ’ve been anticipating the companyÂ’s next move. Apparently, that next move is “Afeela.” No, I donÂ’t love the name. The specs from SonyÂ’s original concept car give me hope that this prototype sportback (itÂ’s a hatchback!) will be fun to drive, though.

Honda Expands Takata Airbag Recall To 5.4M Units In The US

Tue, Dec 9 2014

While Honda already announced plans to take its front driver's side Takata airbag inflator recall nationwide, the automaker has now officially reported on the number of affected vehicles and the specific models in need of repair. The expanded campaign covers an estimated 5.4 million units across the US, including those already being fixed under the previous regional actions. That number is an expansion of the five million units initially reported by NHTSA. The affected models under the nationwide recall are the 2001-2007 Accord with a four-cylinder engine, 2001-2002 Accord V6, 2001-2005 Civic, 2002-2006 CR-V, 2003-2011 Element, 2002-2004 Odyssey, 2003-2007 Pilot, 2006 Ridegline, 2003-2006 Acura MDX, 2002-2003 TL and 2002 CL. For customers who expressed concern about their vehicle's safety, Honda had already been replacing the inflators nationwide. It's possible for the inflators in these vehicles to rupture when inflating the airbag, spraying metal fragments at occupants. This problem has been blamed for at least five deaths worldwide and at least 139 reported injuries. In its statement, Honda said that it worked with Takata to test the recalled inflators in the original high-humidity recall regions, and there were no abnormal deployments in these evaluations. Honda will begin notifying owners by "over time," according to its statement. Priority will be put on the geographic areas with the highest risk of ruptures. Those in the original recall region were contacted in September. Earlier in December, Honda partnered with Autoliv to supply the automaker with replacement inflators for this campaign. Autoliv predicted it would take six months for deliveries to start. Takata also increased its production of substitute components. Scroll down to read the company's announcement of this nationwide expansion. Statement by American Honda Regarding National Safety Improvement Campaign: Driver's Front Airbag Inflator Supplied by Takata Dec 8, 2014 - TORRANCE, Calif. Honda will voluntarily expand a regional Safety Improvement Campaign initiated in June 2014 (NHTSA No. 14V-351) into a national Safety Improvement Campaign affecting certain 2001 through 2011 Honda and Acura vehicles in the United States to replace the driver frontal airbag inflator, free of charge. Honda is expanding this Safety Improvement Campaign to address concerns raised by its customers whose vehicles were not included in the regional campaign.
