What you are bidding on here is my "1986 Honda Prelude Special Edition".

This is an extremely rare car & model. Very few of this model were ever sold and not many of them left around. What makes this model so rare are the following things: It was the first year for fuel injection 2.0 engine, power steering, and 4 wheel disc brakes. Also was the first year for "Special Edition / Si Trim".  (In Canada they labelled it Special Edition and in the United States it was labelled 2.0 Si)

This car has not seen winter in 20 years. I had the body completely and properly restored 7 years ago. There is no rust and the under body is in excellent shape. Original engine with "matching serial numbers" that has always been taken care of and never abused. Car has never been modified and always had original parts replaced. Never missed any maintance & oil changes. Does not burn any oil. It has only ever been worked on by a certified Honda Mechanic since day one. I just had engine seals done and timing belt. This car runs and drives just like new. Garage kept and barely even seen much rain. Never been in any accidents and has clean title. It is however to be honest not in perfect cosmetic condition. The cosmetic flaws are some of the windows trims are peeling the black plastic and some are also faded. The other cosmetic flaw is the paint in some areas look a little dull and this is because I had taken it into a body shop last year for touch up work and it was not properly "buffed" so you can see in some spots it looks a little dull. However it is not to bad and there is no rust. It might be fixable with a good wax job or if you know how to use a buffer. I am not skilled in these areas. The interior is in great shape, no cracks anywhere on the dash. Only flaw in the interior is the drivers seat is worn. I had it taken in and patched up and it does not look that bad. I am also including with this auction a brand new full set of extra brakes for this car. The mileage on the speedometer shows 378063KM's but it really is 328063 because I had the cluster changed and it had more mileage showing on it so I've always kept a record of it.

Here is a list of all the new work and parts recently done on this car within the last year: 

- Timing Belt & Water Pump
- Complete Brake Job Including New Calipers Front & Rear
- Fuel Pump
- All Engine Seals
- Suspension
- NGK Plugs & Wires
 
- Drive Axels 
 
- Exhaust Front To Back
- Kenwood Stereo & Clarion Speakers Professionaly Installed
- Door Moldings
 
- Interstate Battery 

This car needs nothing at all and drives 100% perfectly with no issues. This auction is perfect for any retro Honda collectors or for someone who wants a classic well built reliable car with everything already done on it. Winning bidder must make arrangements for pickup and a $500 deposit is required at the end of the auction. Note: If this car sells in Ontario, Canada I have no problem including a full safety / certify on it. Feel free to email me with any questions you may have regarding this auction. Please bid with confidence. Thank you for checking out my auction.

Honda China struggling with high-end Accord because Chinese covet German cars, too

Sun, 06 Jul 2014

It's not particularly unusual to see cheap cars in China, or those with designs stolen from foreign competitors, but increasingly the best-selling vehicles there would be very recognizable to just about any auto enthusiast. There appears to be one fact of life whether looking at car buyers in Sacramento, Stuttgart or Shanghai: People who can afford to buy premium cars often look first at the Germans.
Honda recently thought that it could challenge this perceived wisdom by including a premium Accord in the ninth-generation sedan's Chinese launch last year. The market-exclusive version was priced against the Audi A4. The venture failed, miserably.
According to Automotive News China, sales for the new Accord in China are down 37 percent through May of this year. Honda's overall sales are actually up by about 11 percent there on the strength of smaller, less profitable models. However, the company is still off its forecast 19-percent rise.

Honda CB350 and cafe racer culture explored by Electric Federal

Sun, 20 Oct 2013

The latest video from Electric Federal covers one of our favorite aspects of motorcycle culture - café racers. In an interview with Adam "Gasser" Gaspic, the owner of Gasser Customs, EF takes a look at the culture and one of Gasser's latest offerings, a hopped-up Honda CB350, called the Silver Bullet.
Gasser has gone all-out on the Silver Bullet, replacing some of the body parts with fiberglass and delivering more than a few upgrades to the rebuilt engine. The brakes and suspension of the smaller bike also get some attention, as do some of the bike's aesthetics. Besides the upgrades, there's just something to be said for the sleek, minimalist nature of the little Honda.
Naturally, the videography is gorgeous, and it's a great look at a kind of motorcycling that seems to be overlooked in the world of sport bikes and Harley-Davidson-style cruisers. Take a look below for the full video.

Honda Civic Type R on track to smash 'Ring record, eclipse NSX

Wed, 01 Oct 2014

Honda has made some serious performance machinery over the course of its history, but few products have been as hotly anticipated as the upcoming new Civic Type R. Following a deep and proud history of Type R Hondas, the latest Japanese hot hatch is continuing its long striptease at the Paris Motor Show this week. But before it does, Honda has released this video clip featuring project leader Suehiro Hasshi - and he has some bold claims to make.
For one, he says it'll be the best Type R yet - and that's quite a statement considering some of its predecessors, including the almighty NSX Type R. Hasshi-san also reiterates Honda's aim of snatching the front-drive lap record at the Nürburgring away from the likes of Renault and Seat, and reports that the Honda team is on track to chew every bit it's biting off. In short, the new Civic Type R ought to be sensational.
