2001 Honda Prelude Vtec H22a4 Swap H23a Blue Top - Bad Motor - Rebuild Project on 2040-cars
Hot Springs National Park, Arkansas, United States
2001 Honda Prelude, last year model made, non-SH version (all wheel steering), 5 speed manual transmission, sunroof, rear spoiler, recently replaced and upgraded H23A "blue top" VTEC engine. Original black interior in fantastic shape for its age, minimal signs of wear and absolutely no abuse (tears, rips, stains, etc.) and the exterior is the super-rare and desirable "pearl white" color.
Here is the background and current status of the car: Bought for my teenage son approximately 2 years ago. He drove it until approximately 8 months ago when the original H22A4 VTEC motor let go. We decided to install a H23A "blue top" VTEC engine. Ran great, but threw a rod well after the 90 day warranty had already expired. Wife and I decided to "upgrade" and put him into something newer to head off to college. Therefore, we are now selling the car as it sits...with the blown motor. AC blows ice cold and everything on the car works (minus the engine, as described above). New clutch, brake pads and rotors (all 4 corners), and tires (again, all 4) were replaced within the last 5-7k miles. Aftermarket CD radio with AUX input installed, original OEM CD player is also included. Literally, upon the installation of a new motor, Buyer should have a fully functioning, last-year made, well taken care of Prelude for a fraction of the price. Please see the provided pictures as to the general condition of the car. If additional information or pictures are requested, please contact me as I will be glad to provide same via email. Terms: $500 deposit via PayPal is required within 24 hours of winning bid/offer. Balance is due within 5 days from end of auction. Car is sold "as is, where is" with no warranty, either express or implied. No returns as all bids and final sale are legally binding. By placing a bid, Buyer acknowledges car is currently in non-running condition and accepts sole responsibility for any/all transportation, towing, and like expenses. Seller will gladly assist in that regard however possible. Good luck and thanks for looking. Cheers. |

Honda Recalling 900,000 Odyssey Minivans
Mon, Mar 17 2014DETROIT (AP) - Honda Motor Co. is recalling 886,815 Odyssey minivans in the U.S. because a fuel pump cover can deteriorate and cause a fuel leak. Odysseys from 2005 through 2010 model years are involved. The recalled minivans were made between June 23, 2004, and September 4, 2010. According to documents posted Saturday by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the cover on the fuel pump strainer can wear down from exposure to high temperatures and acidic chemicals, like those found in fertilizers. Fuel leaks can cause a vehicle fire. Honda says no fires or injuries have been reported. Honda dealers will repair the vehicles for free, but the company says replacement parts may not be available until this summer. It will notify owners of the recall next month.

Honda reports $1.9 billion profit in first quarter despite sales lag at home
Wed, 31 Jul 2013Ford, General Motors and Chrysler have been living in a world of sunshine and buttercups after their April-through-June financials hit the newswire, and Toyota is doing pretty good as well. Honda? Not so much.
While Japan's third-largest manufacturer saw $1.9 billion in profits, the 5.1-percent jump was lower than expected thanks to a drop in its home-market sales. US sales also took a sting, as Honda hasn't been able to match the SUV and truck demand that are currently permeating the American market, despite an uptick in Accord sales.
Honda's initial forecasts targeted a take of 209.3 billion yen ($2.1 billion at today's rates), and while a $200 million shortfall is nothing to sniff at, we'd hardly take this as Honda being in trouble. And even with the dip, Honda hasn't adjusted its forecast for the fiscal year, which remains at 780 billion yen ($7.9 billion).
Honda adopts English as its official language in meetings worldwide
Mon, 25 Nov 2013Japanese was clearly the language of operation while we visited Honda's global headquarters in Tokyo last week, as well as its newest factory and principal test track. Chief executive Takanobu Ito (pictured above) spoke to us through an interpreter. But according to the latest reports, the Japanese language is being phased out at Honda in favor of English.
This according to Bloomberg, which points out that tire manufacturer Bridgestone and rival automaker Nissan have implemented similar measures, as have Japanese retail giants Fast Retailing Co. and Rakuten Inc. Honda's shift from Japanese to English comes as part of a shift in focus from central decision-making to a more regional model, but while English has clearly emerged as the international language of business, it's no coincidence that it's also the dominant language here in America. Bloomberg points out that over the 12-month period that ended this past March, North America accounted for a massive 47 percent of Honda's revenues worldwide.
