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.

2019 Honda S2000 roadster rumors swell

Thu, May 19 2016

Our friends over at Car and Driver have been speculating about a possible S2000 roadster from an unnamed insider source. While there's not much to go on, it certainly squares with a steady drumbeat of sporty car innuendo surrounding the company. Let's briefly connect the dots and see if a Honda S2000 might be on the way by 2018, as the rumor says. The little roadster pictured above? Definitely not what a new S2000 would look like. That's the S660, which is sold in Japan and shares some components with the N-Box and N-One microcars. As we told you last year, after some hints that it would come to the US, Honda's brass decided it was too small. That was disappointing, but probably the right call. On the other hand, Honda finally brought out the 2017 Acura NSX, which may have its flaws but still represents a unique platform that the company spent a great deal of yen building ( in Ohio, by the way). It's that bit that the rumor hinges on: Honda's willingness to develop unique platforms for its sporty models. It'd need that for an S2000 revival, because there's certainly no Honda model that could donate its underpinnings at this moment. Honda execs have been clear that the company is under pressure from dealers over the lack of verve in the company's lineup. American Honda Executive Vice President John Mendel told Automotive News last year that dealers "want anything in the sports car world. They're going, 'Gimme a sports car.' They want a retractable hardtop; they want a high-horsepower $20,000-sports car. Because that's the nature of what they do." Honda is allegedly going to utilize some sunk cost by employing the new Civic Type R's engine in this roadster. That 2.0-liter turbocharged four makes 306 hp in the Civic, and would make slightly less than that in the S2000, according to the rumor. At this stage, these rumors are mostly wishful thinking fanned by the flames of dealer pressure for sporty models. We hope Car and Driver's insider has it right, because the S2000 was a phenomenal car that deserves a follow-up – and Honda deserves more fun cars in its American showrooms.

Honda NM4 concept motorcycles channel Akira

Fri, 21 Mar 2014

Honda has rolled out a pair of new motorcycle concepts at the Osaka Motorcycle Show in its home market of Japan, and they're our first glimpse at the company's "neo-futuristic" NM4. Shown in both stealthy black and an eye-catching white, the NM4s are sharp creations that feature interesting riding positions.
Honda calls the concepts' seating "the cockpit position," claiming that it unifies bike with rider. We don't know about that, but we will admit that compared to most sportbike seats - which are more or less just bits of padding to squeeze between your legs - these bikes' saddles look more or less like conventional seats. Honda says that their backrests are adjustable, which should provide a comfortable riding experience. Still, with these bikes' sporting looks, we can't imagine their low seats are going to be great for dipping knees through the bends (although the should lower the center of gravity, so perhaps it's a wash).
Both show bikes, NM4-01 and NM4-02, are powered by 745-cc, two-cylinder engines, while dual-clutch transmissions are employed to dispatch unspecified amounts of power to their wide rear tires. The bikes are nearly identical save for different colors, but the NM4-02 features an integral set of hard panniers for increased utility. We've got a gallery of both, so hop up above and take a look. You can also scroll down for a brief press release from Honda.

Honda settles class-action lawsuit over oil-burning V6s

Wed, 23 Oct 2013

Although we hadn't heard of this issue before, Automotive News reports that Honda has agreed to settle a massive class-action lawsuit brought against it for engine trouble potentially affecting nearly 1.6 million vehicles. The lawsuit includes Accord (2008-12), Odyssey (2008-13), Pilot (2009-13) and Crosstour (2010-13) models equipped with the 3.5-liter V6 with Variable Cylinder Management, which might experience engine misfire, excessive oil burning and premature spark plug fouling issues.
As part of the settlement, Honda will extend the powertrain warranty on these models for eight years (from time of purchase or lease) with no mileage limitation, and it will also reimburse customers who had to pay out-of-pocket expenses for related repairs such as spark plugs, pistons or, in some cases, apparently, an entirely new engine. (Of course, the repairs had to be related to certain trouble codes.) Lawyers will get no more than $800,000 from Honda and the guy who originally started the case, Vince Eagen, will get $1,000 for his "time and effort."
The final ruling on the matter will take place on March 21, 2014, and if you want to see if you're affected and what options you have in the settlement, check out this .pdf document with all the details.
