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 discontinuing Euro Accord, no replacement in sight
Wed, 22 Oct 2014Honda has built two Accords for many years. There's the one we're familiar with here in the United States, and then there's the Accord sold in markets like Europe and Australia, known here in the US as the Acura TSX. But just like Acura did with the TSX, the Euro-market Accord has been discontinued.
The news comes from The Motor Report in Australia, which is reporting that the Accord Euro will be discontinued in 2015. Sold Down Under alongside the US-market model, the discontinuation of the Aussie car indicates an end to Honda's midsize sedan efforts in Europe, where there is no obvious replacement for the four-door and wagon models.
According to TMR, Honda Australia Director Stephen Collins indicated that focus will be placed instead on the US market "wide-body" model, as it's known. That said, this decision doesn't sound like it's sitting too well in Oz.
Honda Vision XS-1 Concept looks like a sportier Vezel [w/video]
Wed, 05 Feb 2014We've talked a lot about the Honda Vezel over the past few months, as the Autoblog staff is looking forward to the Fit-based CUV. It's a handsome little vehicle, that we think will do quite well when it finally arrives in the US market. That said, it's not a particularly exciting vehicle to look at.
Along with the appearance of the Mugen-tuned Vezel at the Tokyo Auto Salon, though, a new concept that's being shown by Honda today at India's Delhi Auto Expo has us hopeful for a Vezel that looks a bit more assertive. It's called the Vision XS-1 Concept, and it's a seven-passenger (yes, seven) crossover that features minivan-style sliding doors. It sports Honda's "Exciting H Design," which is the same design philosophy used by the stylists that penned the new Fit. Unfortunately, at the moment, Honda has provided exactly zero details about what powers its new concept.
As a concept for the Indian market, which is home to some of the tightest, most congested roads on the planet, the stylish XS-1 is meant to demonstrate that Honda knows a thing or six about building compact vehicles. In that regard, we think it's a spot-on piece of work. Let us know what you think of it in Comments, but first, have a look up top for a gallery of images and then scroll down for a brief video and the official press release from Honda.
Honda S2000, Acura RSX recalled over brake boosters
Fri, 14 Jun 2013Honda has announced a recall that affects two of our favorite, dearly departed cars from the brand's portfolio: the S2000 roadster and Acura RSX coupe. A total of 5,239 S2000 models from the 2006 and 2007 model years are affected by this problem, as are 13,113 2006 Acura RSX models.
"A production error may have allowed brake booster components to be produced outside of the original specifications, potentially causing decreased brake assistance over time, which could increase the risk of a crash," American Honda said in a press release. Thus, dealerships will inspect and, if necessary, replace the brake booster setups in these vehicles, free of charge.
No crashes or injuries have been reported in relation to this brake problem. Honda says the problem was discovered during warranty claim analysis.
