Car Details.
J35A8 swapped out of a 2007 Acura TL type S. Runs and drives great, very reliable. I have driving it almost 10 hours in one day. I have only put ~ 5k miles on it since i have had it. Never have been stranded, and never broke anything at the track. I have probably ~ 30 1/4 mile passes on the car.
Best 1/4 mile time was at vegas IFO 2011 the car went 12.6 @ 108 mph.
Fastest MPH was near 110mph at Ennis IFO 2010.
The car does not have AC or power steering, but does have a heater.
I removed the glass sunroof and put in a fixed Metal panel from a 4th gen prelude.
The hood is trashed, it was bad when i got it, but i forgot the pins one day driving the the gas station, and it popped open and cracked the windshield. I never really cared about the appearance of the car. I will replace the windshield if the buyer wishes.
Few door dings, and paint is not in the best shape. The brakes up front are legend dual piston calipers. It no longer has the type S brembos, as the 15" wheels would not fit over the old calipers.
As far As i know the car is currently the Fastest NA street prelude in the world. When i say street, It is tagged, insured, has full interior, uncut, with mufflers. It is possible for it to pass emissions.
I made 6 IFO events in 2011.
Baytown Rain out.
Wichita Win with 12.8
Noble Win with 13.1
Kansas City Rain out
Vegas win with 12.6
Tulsa place 2nd with 13.0
The reason Im selling it is to start a new project.
