Hello and Thanks for checking out my car.

If you think this car looks familiar, I've listed this vehicle before, but at the time it had a custom vehicle wrap on it and I think that was limiting it's appeal. Since the last time I've listed it (last Summer I think), I've removed the wrap and actually had the whole car exterior professionally repainted (at Impact Collision Center, Tulsa OK) at a cost of $4,500. As much as I'd like to keep the car, in the back of my mind I know I need to let it go, I've had this car for about 12 years now and I'm ready for something different. Anyway, on to the car...

Engine:

JDM B16a from a 2000 Civic Si

Matching manual transmission (car was automatic)

New Radiator at time of Motor Swap

Cleaner Factory Engine Bay Wiring (also removed P/S, Air, CC)

Duralast Battery

Skunk 2 Chip in ECU (ECU has been upgraded so different program chips can be installed) (also comes with a factory non-vtec ECU)

DC Headers - 4 to 1 configuration - Ceramic Coated

AEM Cold Air Intake

Custom Bent Exhaust, with midpipe to keep it quieter, but increase performance.

Skunk 2 Muffler

Aerospeed Short Throw Shifter

Suspension:

TEIN Super Street Coilovers

Factory Parts that connect to coilovers were color matched to TEIN Green

Rear Trailing Arms and Rear Calipers were replaced when suspension was installed

AEM Big Brake Kit (required upgrade to '97 VTEC delsol from knuckles first, these brakes are HUGE!)

EBC Green Stuff Brake Pads

16" Rota Grid Wheels with color matched lip

Nitto NeoGen Tires, size 205/45 R16 87V

Spoon Sports front Strut Bar

Interior:

Kept mostly stock appearing

Carbon Fiber Garnishes on vents/gauges/door switches

Seats are from a Mazdaspeed Protge and they recline/lift/lower/slide

Alpine CD Head Unit + Alpine 6 Disk Changer

Kicker Door Speakers/Clarion Rear Speakers

2 JL w6 10" Subs in custom Trunk enclosure (roof can still be placed in trunk, as well as full size spare!

Subs can be deactivated with a factory integrated switch, if you want to turn them off.

Windshield mounted amplified antenna

Clear door Glass/Windshield, Tinted rear Glass

Exterior:

Fiber Images Carbon Fiber Hood

Shaved door Handles with Autoloc remote to open

Shaved Gas fill and Antenna

Hidden Rear Trunk Release, no key hole

Paint Color is Nissan Sentra Orange (any shop can repair it!)

Factory Aux lights in bumper illuminate Orange

Second set of hidden driving lights are white (in lower bumper area)

JDM 1 Piece Headlights (real OEM Honda parts)

JDM Licence plate fillers

GT Factory "vertical" door hinges

Rolled Fender Lips (in case you want to lower the coilovers all the way down)

Stock Front and Rear Bumpers and Side Skirts

OK, here's the good and the bad of the car.

Overall, it really is a good car, I've driven it from coast to coast 1 time (Philly, PA to Laguna Beach, CA) and it made the trip flawlessly. It's a good driving car, no shakes, vibrations, pulling, none of that. It gets a lot of attention, especially if you open the doors vertically to get out (I just open them as far as they go "regular" and scoot out). The stereo system is awesome, very clear and very little rattle from the trunk, there are various spots of dynamat back there. Almost all the sound is sent forward when the trunk is closed. The head unit can be finicky, it's about 12 years old, and sometimes you have to spin the knob 5 or 6 times to get the volume to start turning up, but once it goes it's fine, typically first thing in the morning. Also, it can be tricky with CD's when you first put them in, but once they are in it works. I've come to learn how to make them work, you may want to replace just the head unit if it gives you trouble, the rest of the sound system is good (or just rely on the 6 disk changer). As I stated above, the car has recently been repainted. It's a professional job, and looks great, but there is a small line of overspray in the drivers door jamb, not major. I have a small bottle of touch up paint as well, in case you need it. I mentioned it's 3rd gear chirp. This is something new, but if I try shifting too fast out of 2nd to 3rd, it does make a small noise. It has never popped out of gear or caused any issue, but I want to give full disclosure about the car. I also have a few extras, an extra ECU (mentioned above), a full set of door glass (roll-up and wing windows that are tinted), and replacement window regulators. I think I have the stock muffler upstairs as well.

I really encourage you to look at the car before bidding if possible. I feel it's in really great shape, and will answer any questions you may have about it. Car is located near Tulsa Oklahoma. I will also help with delivery (cost can be determined on distance) as long as payment for vehicle and delivery charge is made prior to delivery. There is a fair reserve set on the car, well within what the car is worth.

Thanks!

Honda reveals three new turbo VTEC engines, including Civic Type R 2.0L

Tue, 19 Nov 2013

It's fair to say that in recent years, Honda has been viewed as a laggard when it comes to engine and gearbox development, seemingly missing the boat on direct-injection, forced-induction and high gear-count transmissions, among other things. But under its Earth Dreams banner, the Japanese automaker is showing new vigor, with the latest proof being this trio of just-announced powerplants.
Measuring 1.0-liters, 1.5-liters and 2.0-liters in displacement, this array of three- and four-cylinder engines boasts turbocharging and direct-injection along with the latest iteration of Honda's famed VTEC variable valve timing hardware. "Most suitable for small-to-medium-sized vehicles," the largest engine is said to be good for more than 276 horsepower and will slot into the eagerly awaited Civic Type R, iconic red valve cover and all.
Unfortunately, few other details about the hot Civic's engine or any of the others are being made public at this time, and there's no official word about the engines coming to North American in the Type R or any other model. Given that all the engines are complaint with stringent Euro 6 emissions standards, they figure to be clean enough, and Honda says that these have been developed as global powerplants, so we'd be shocked if they didn't come ashore in new or updated products over the next few years... even if they leave the CTR on the boat.

Honda S660 Concept portends a new kei car for 2015

Wed, 20 Nov 2013

Apart from a tiny, one-paragraph mention in a press release about the Honda show stand in general, the company hasn't said very much about its completely charming S660 Concept. The model would seem very much to be a look ahead at a possible successor to the Beat kei car for Japanese customers, though we've been told that we shouldn't expect any kind of translation or product for the American market (despite certain key executives wanting more sports cars in the US).
Honda tells us only that the S660 roadster features "advanced styling" and "new initiatives such as Super cockpit interior." We do think that the confines of the S660 look particularly driver-focused, with a carbon fiber steering wheel clad in soft leather, very racy looking vented seats and instruments tilted to keep the pilot constantly informed.
Honda President and CEO, Takanobu Ito, also touched on the S660 in his remarks at the press conference, saying that the model "embodies the freewheeling thinking of young Honda engineers, who want to make a cool car that is unique to Honda." Takanobu also said that the concept will be developed into a production model for 2015, which is great news for Japanese drivers.

Google poised to release Apple CarPlay rival this month

Tue, 17 Jun 2014

Apple and Google. They're the Michigan and Ohio State of the tech world. They're New York Yankees and the Boston Red Sox, Real Madrid and Barcelona, or whatever sports-based rivalry you want to cook up. Bottom line, if one company expands into a segment, it's only a matter of time before the other follows suit. And now, that rivalry is about to carry over to your car's dashboard.
Unnamed sources are reporting to Automotive News that Google will unveil its very own challenger to Apple's new CarPlay in-car operating system later this month at the Mountain View, CA company's annual developer conference. The system, allegedly called Google Auto Link, will be the first product to come from the Open Automotive Alliance, a partnership between Google, General Motors, Hyundai, Audi, Honda and hardware manufacturer NVIDIA.
The official announcement is expected to be made on either June 25 or 26, at the Google I/O conference in San Francisco. Expect to hear a lot more about Google Auto Link then.
