1994 Honda Prelude Si Coupe 2-door 2.3l on 2040-cars
Rockford, Illinois, United States

I have to AUCTION my semi-finished Lude project. I started with a pretty ratty 1992 si with a manual trans and a hideous flat black rattle can paint job. After stripping that car of its low mileage engine and trans I found this 1994 si body to do my swap. So here's what I've done: Converted a clean automatic body over to receive the five speed manual transmission and a very rare H23A3 engine. After testing and tuning the engine and transmission, I deleted the antilock brake system entirely. Replaced the ABS control module with a proportioning valve, (from a 1997 Accord wagon), removed the controller from the car and replaced the master cylinder with a larger bore from an Accord sedan. I then began to remove the interior trim, hood, fenders, bumper covers, and mirrors for preparation for paint. Repaired ALL rust, (which was minor) and repairing ALL dents and dings from over the years. The whole car has been painted and there's no rust on this body. The engine is STRONG! It has no leaks, all fluids have been changed. All the brakes have been replaced with new components or rebuilt better than new OEM equivalent. I replaced the timing belt, tensioner, idler, water pump, both drive belts, power steering pump, radiator, front tires, shifter bushings, and front door speakers. It is a street ready racer. The engine picture shows a shorty intake which has been replaced with true cold air intake. Don't miss this opportunity own a great car. I have been an automotive technician for 17 years and wouldn't sell a lemon. This Prelude has been modified so know what your buying. Any questions you may have can be directed to my home phone at 815-seven-1-3-seven-seven-seven-5. My name is Tony. I look forward to speaking with serious bidders on this car as I don't have to sell it, I could use the xtra cash to finance other projects I have in the works.

Acura models no longer produced or sold in China
Mon, Jan 9 2023SHANGHAI — Chinese carmaker Guangzhou Automobile Group said on Monday its joint venture with Honda Motor is no longer producing or selling products under the Japanese firm's premium Acura brand. GAC will continue to provide after-sales services to Acura customers in China through the joint venture's network, it said in a statement to Reuters. The joint venture will continue to produce other Honda brands. Acura is the second foreign car brand to exit China, the world's largest auto market, in recent months. In October GAC said it was closing its joint venture with Stellantis, which made Jeep vehicles, following a sharp decline in Jeep sales in China over the past four years. GAC-Honda, which started producing Acura cars in 2016 in China, only sold 6,554 of them in the country in 2021, down 45% from the previous year. Related video: 2022 Acura NSX Type S track footage
Sony Honda EV venture's plan for online sales has dealers squirming
Fri, Oct 14 2022TOKYO/DETROIT — A new joint venture formed by Japan's Sony Group Corp and Honda Motor plans to introduce a premium electric vehicle later this decade, and the automaker's U.S. dealers are anxious to be part of the sales process. Sony Honda Mobility said on Thursday it was aiming to deliver the first of the unnamed EV by 2026, starting in the United States, and will sell them online. The success of Tesla at selling EVs without franchised dealers is putting pressure on established automakers to overhaul their retail networks. That leaves dealers across most brands concerned about their place in the changing world and whether profits will be squeezed. The online aspect of the Sony Honda plan, as well as the lack of details around how the vehicle will be sold and serviced, has raised questions with the Honda and Acura brand dealers. Many nonetheless expect Honda to work through the existing retail network. "These issues are certainly a concern," said Brian Benstock, general manager and vice president of Paragon Honda and Paragon Acura in Queens, New York. "The best path forward is with the dealers." "We have a role (automakers) can't replicate," said Benstock, who also is on the Acura national dealer advisory board and has spoken with Honda officials about the new vehicle. "There's no way that Honda wants to hurt their existing dealer body." Some dealers questioned why Honda would even consider trying to work outside the current U.S. sales network given its national reach. Honda has about 1,100 Honda dealers and 270 Acura dealers. A Honda spokesperson referred questions about the joint venture to the new company. Sony Honda spokesperson Mai Nagadome said there are still a lot of details to finalize, but selling through the dealers has not been ruled out and customers would feel uneasy without some kind of after-sales service process. "The cost of continuing to develop (internal combustion engine) products along with EVs and autonomous tech and software for the next generation vehicles is proving to be quite the challenge," said Peter Hennessy, dealer principal of Atlanta-based Hennessy Automobile Companies, which includes a Honda store. "I get teaming up with Sony, but it should be done in conjunction with the dealer network, not outside it," he added.
Ever wonder how to really pronounce Japanese automaker names?
Thu, 25 Sep 2014People tend to get very set in their ways when it comes to the pronunciation of words. Just look at the endless debates over whether or not to say the final 'e' in Porsche (which you should in terms of correct German enunciation). Or the argument about whether to follow the British convention and give the 'u' in Jaguar a special delivery or to say the 'ua' diphthong as more of a 'w' sound, as usually happens in the US.
This short video doesn't answer either of those automotive questions, but it does allow a native Japanese speaker to demonstrate the accepted pronunciations for several, major automakers from the country. One benefit is that it clears up the occasional debate over whether Nissan should be said with a long or short 'i' sound. Also, listen closely to how the female host says Mazda as Matsuda, the way it's actually said in the language. Even if this doesn't change the way you enunciate these brands, at least now you know the accurate way in Japanese.
