1989 Honda Prelude 2.0 Si 4ws Coupe 2-door 2.0l on 2040-cars
Mauk, Georgia, United States
|
This is a 1989 Honda Prelude SI, manual transmission car. It is not running. The car has been stored under cover for a long time. We stored it in our carport while we were out of state. When we returned, something had built a nest in the timing belt. When we cranked it, it jumped time. We shut it down immediately. I replaced the head with a rebuilt head from National Cylinder head. The car ran fine with the rebuilt head. It did smoke on start up. The cylinder head came sealed in shrink wrap but it was obvious it had been on the shelf a long time. The ASE mechanic that helped me do the work felt a valve stem seal had dried out as the smoking was getting less every day we drove it. We had to go back out of state so the car sat again for a long period. When we returned there was a major problem with the electrical system. Something had gone to ground. Even with the charger on, it will not hold enough juice to light the headlights. Everything but the AC and the antenna retractor was operational when we stored it. The AC components are all there, but it was not operational. I have tried to show every defect in my photos, I have more pic's if you request them. Please ask questions, I'll do my best to answer them. There is rust in three places on the drivers side, specifically, a hole in the rocker panel behind the front wheel, two rust bubbles on the door, rust bubbles directly in front of the rear wheel. There is a scuff on the drivers side rear bumper corner. There are tears in the drivers side interior door panel where it closes. There is a small tear in the same place on the passenger door. The skylite is cracked but does not leak. There is a repaired chip in the windshield low in the center, not in your line of view. The undercarriage is solid most of the factory rustcoat is still in tact. When we replaced the head we did the timing belt and water pump. Also put a new fuel pump in it at that time. All the fluids were changed at that time, but they have sat in the vehicle now for over a year. The tires have decent tread but they should be replaced. As you can see from the undercarriage pics it need some exhaust work. There are not many of this body style classic Preludes left. This car needs lots of work but could be a great car for the right person. This car is sold AS IS, AS SHOWN, with no warranty expressed or implied. Please ask all the questions you can. I will be happy to answer them and provide more pics if you need them. Back around 2006 the car had a very minor accident. Bent the Front bumper support. Because of the age of the car, the insurance adjuster wanted to total the car. We disputed the action and won. We have the clear title on the car, and the body shop repair bill to repair the minor bumper support damage and the bumper skin.

Honda Civic poised to get new Earth Dreams engines
Mon, 24 Jun 2013When Honda executed its emergency refresh of the Civic for 2013, it didn't do any massive powertrain reworking. But that doesn't mean new things aren't already in the works for Honda's compact. According to Automotive News, Honda has confirmed that it will offer the Civic with a new Earth Dreams powerplant sometime in the future, though details on timing and exactly what sort of engine are unclear as of this writing.
The confirmation comes from Honda's executive vice president and regional director for North America, Tetsuo Iwamura, who says that the Earth Dreams engine will come when the Civic is re-engineered or redesigned, not during a refresh. There is also no mention of whether these changes will apply to just the standard Civic, or if the Si and Hybrid models will receive some Dreamy new tech, as well.
The entire Earth Dreams group of technologies encompasses more than just naturally aspirated engines with direct injection. A turbo-diesel engine is also part of this suite, as are new continuously variable transmissions and new gasoline-electric hybrid powerplants. Honda launched its 2.4-liter and 3.5-liter Earth Dreams engines in the redesigned 2013 Accord.
Honda, Top Gear working on 130-mph lawn mower
Wed, 12 Jun 2013We're not even sure they've got a blade of Kentucky Bluegrass to cut, but the folks at Top Gear have gone ahead and started building what will become, if they're successful, the world's fastest lawn mower. Actually, it appears Top Gear is not doing much of the design and assembly work at all, instead having solicited help from experts at Honda and Team Dynamics, which oversees the automaker's touring car efforts.
What the three are working on is a riding lawnmower with a 110-hp engine that can reach 60 miles per hour in four seconds and trim turf at speeds up to 130 mph. If they succeed, such a maximum velocity would put them well ahead of the current record for the world's fastest lawnmower, which is 96.529 mph set by Bobby Cleveland and his Snapper race mower at the Bonneville Salt Flats in September of 2010. Top Gear hasn't said whether or not it will officially go after Cleveland's record, but the build will be featured in an upcoming issue of the Top Gear magazine and is scheduled to be completed by June 17, so we may learn what this maniacal mower's true purpose is then.
According to TG's report on how the build is going, as well as the video of it being fired up (literally) for the first time below, there aren't many actual mower parts left on this machine. What started out as a Honda HF2620 mower now sports wheels and tires from a racing quad, a back axle from a go-kart, a steering rack from a Morris Minor and a 1000cc engine from a Honda VTR1000F sport bike. All that remains from the original mower are the pedals and body panels; even the steel cutting deck has been replaced with a lighter fiberglass version. And blades? This mower will be bladeless, instead using two electric motors to spin lengths of brake cable like a weed whacker.
Honda getting in on the Daytona Prototype racing action
Fri, 14 Mar 2014Racing fans at Sebring are plenty used to seeing Honda powering into the winner's circle, the Japanese motor company having claimed class victories at the endurance race in Florida in 2007, 2009, 2011, 2012 and 2013. Those were all in the LMP2 category, but with the Twelve Hours of Sebring now part of the combined United SportsCar Championship, Honda is branching out into another class: Daytona Prototypes.
The purpose-built racing machinery that were once part of the Grand-Am series are now racing alongside the LMP2 prototypes from the American Le Mans Series under the united championship. So far Ford and Chevy have signed on to power the Daytona Prototypes, and now Honda's joining their ranks as the only manufacturer to field entries in both categories of the championship's Prototype class.
The competition-spec 3.5-liter twin-turbo V6 revealed last month is based on the same J35 engine that powers everything from the Honda Accord to the Acura RLX and MDX. Now it will power the Riley chassis fielded by Starworks Motorsports, competing alongside the pair of Honda Performance Development (HPD) ARX-03b chassis which Extreme Speed Motorsports will campaign under LMP2 regulations, giving Honda a two-pronged, three-car assault on the top class of the new American sports car racing series.
