Classic 1981 Honda Civic Cvcc 1500 Gl Hatchback on 2040-cars
|
Brand new just done:
I did a full tune up (cap, rotor, plugs, wires, air filter, and a fresh oil change.) New fuel pump New fuel filter. Rebuilt the carb New fuel lines and vacuum lines New ball joints. New door locks New head gasket New Gasket set New ARP head studs and nuts (yes that is correct ARP) New Timing Belt and Tentioner New Belts New Gaskets REBUILT all the CVCC Auxiliary values Machined the Head and pressure tested it at Racklys New tires Currently registered and passed emission in Aug before I started restoring it. Good Emissions till April of 2015! What's left to be done: It runs but runs really really rich. It does turn on and run but I had the carb sent out to get rebuilt but I have not taken it in to get tuned. Honestly i have no idea when it comes to these carbs and if you do not set them right you can burn up the motor. After all the work on the motor I do not want to mess with trying to set the carb and then screw up all the motor work. If you know how to set a carb then this is the car for you. If not I would find a shop that just tunes carbs. I might be overly cautious but after all the work thats been done I would rather be safe then sorry. If you buy the car and want to cheap out then that's up to you. Here is a youtube link to this awesome little civic running: Ebay will not let me put in a youtube link so please email me for a link to the motor running. Here is a little info about the Civic This is the 1500GL (They also made a 1300dx) the GL came with a 1500 cvcc engine and 5speed standard transmission along with a tachometer and digital clock. The tranny shifts smooth with surprisingly no grinds through all 5 gears. The car is all stock. Still has the stock 13 inch wheels with new tires and the original paint which is Levanna brown. At some point somebody painted a Honda H on the hood and side fender for some reason. It's missing some common 2nd gen items like the trim parts. The interior is dark brown and tan. Please email if you have any questions or would like to scheduled a time to view the vehicle. $100 dollar non refundable deposit due within 24 hours of action close. I reserve the right to end this listing at anytime for a local sale. |

West Coast labor dispute hampers Japanese automakers' US plants
Wed, Feb 18 2015The ongoing labor dispute between the International Longshore and Warehouse Union and port owners along the West Coast is starting to affect more Japanese automakers building vehicles in the US. The issue already forced Honda and Subaru to take the expensive option of airlifting some parts into the US weeks ago, and according to USA Today, Toyota and Nissan have begun doing so, as well. The choice hasn't been cheap, though, and Subaru's chief financial officer estimated that the decision cost around $60 million more per month than sending components by cargo ship. The effects continue to radiate, according to USA Today, and shortages of some models are possible. Honda is slowing production at its factories in Ohio, Indiana and Canada because the automaker doesn't have enough transmissions and electronics for some vehicles. Toyota already cut back on overtime at some factories. Nissan has only seen a small effect from the issue, though, because of its local suppliers. Dock workers and port owners have been negotiating on a new contract since last year, and the union has organized work slowdowns in response. According to USA Today, the automakers could move shipments to Canada or Mexico, but it would take longer for parts to arrive.

Honda Civic losing ground to Toyota Corolla, sales crown threatened
Wed, Dec 17 2014Oh, what a difference a year has made. When the numbers were tallied for 2013, the Honda Civic was riding high by claiming its segment's sales crown in the US despite being challenged by the latest generation of the Toyota Corolla for part of the year. However, with just a month to go in the battle for C-segment supremacy in 2014, it looks like Toyota gets to hoist the trophy this time. Looking at November sales numbers, Honda moved 300,644 Civics through the first 11 months of the year, down 2.1 percent in volume. Furthermore, for the month alone, the company sold 23,060 Civics, a 12.3 percent drop. Meanwhile, on Toyota's side, business has been booming comparatively. Through the first 11 months it sold 309,373 Corollas, a 10.6 percent jump, and for November alone it moved 25,609 examples, a 14.2 percent improvement. With fewer than 10,000 cars between them, it would take quite a December slump for the Corolla to lose this fight. According to The Truth About Cars, the Civic actually started out the 2014 somewhat positively with 5 percent growth over the previous year, though still behind the Corolla's figures. However, the Honda has seen a slide since then with five consecutive months of sales drops. Meanwhile, the Toyota has generally kept showing growth. Being the newer model of the two, the Corolla comes to this fight with an advantage. Honda hasn't let the Civic languish; it gave the model a CVT in 2014 to boost fuel economy. That's nothing like the Toyota's thorough recent rethink, though. According to TTAC, Honda does have reason to crow about the Civic, just not necessarily in the US. The model is on track to be the bestselling vehicle in Canada for the 17th consecutive year and have its best sales since 2008 there.
Ford F-150 bumps Camry from top of Cars.com American Made Index
Tue, 25 Jun 2013With July 4th just around the corner, what better time could there be for Cars.com to announce that the Ford F-150 is the Most American car of 2013? This may be especially true since it was the Toyota Camry, a car produced by a company based in Japan, that had held the top spot from 2009 to 2012.
Cars.com compiles its Most American list by considering the amount of parts each vehicle uses that come from America, where it's final assembly takes place and how many units per year are sold. "While the assembly point and domestic parts content of the F-150 didn't change from 2012-2013, vehicle sales are responsible for bumping the F-150 to the top spot," according to Patrick Olsen, Editor-in-Chief of Cars.com.
As far as automakers go (as opposed to individual models), Toyota retains the top spot it held in 2012, with General Motors, Chrysler, Ford and Honda (in that order) rounding out the list. The motivation behind this list each year, according to Olsen, is "to help car shoppers understand that 'American-Made' extends beyond just the Detroit three" and because "a study we conducted in 2012 indicated that 25 percent of shoppers surveyed preferred to buy American."
