Overall, vehicle is in decent shape. Body has some slight rust spots and a few bubbles. Paint and clear coat on hood is flaking off. No dents. All lights work. AC condensor has a leak so AC does not cool. Has an oil leak, cannot seem to find where it is coming from. Cant see anything under the hood, but there are spots on the ground after a long drive. Just yesterday it started to run hot and notice an antifreeze leak. May be head gasket leaking? Im not a mechanic nor do I claim to be. You are more than welcome to come look at it yourself. Car does start, run, shift, drive and stop just fine. But I will limit a test drive to close proximity with me in it because of the overheating issue. I do not want to damage the engine. This has the 2.5 litre, 5 cylinder Honda engine it it. Very fast. This car is a blast to drive. Turns like a go-cart on rails. The 5 speed makes it all that more enjoyable to drive too. If I knew anything about these, I would attempt to keep it. Not sure what the repairs would run, but I dont have the money nor the time to mess with it. I know these engines are sought after and several people have talked about putting it into a civic. That would be a fast little machine. It is now! Would love to keep this, but my job is very demanding and I just need something I can get in and just go. My loss, your gain. Willing to furnish any additional pics if requested. Can arrange a meet most anytime, but you have to come to me and the car, I will not drive it like it is. If you buy it, transporting it or shipping it are your responsibility alone. I would suggest a trailer or towing it. I may be open to trades. Depends on what you have. I want to get a 60's era Chevy C10 truck. Running, driving condition comparable to mine is preferred please. Car is for sale locally, so may cancel auction at any time.

Acura NSX Concept is pretty on the inside, too [w/video]
Tue, 15 Jan 2013The Acura NSX is still a couple years away from production (isn't it always?), but Acura has taken the dark window tint off last year's concept and opened the doors to show us what the interior of the car looks like. From what we can tell on the show-floor display, Acura's hybrid supercar will not only have a sexy exterior design, it will look great from the inside as well, but Acura pointed out that this is just "one possible direction" the interior could go. We suppose that means we can look forward to many more NSX concepts - you won't hear any complaints from us.
Building on Acura's latest tagline of "the synergy between man and machine," the NSX promises to provide a "human connected space" offering a simplified layout presumably chocked full of technology. Looking inside the concept reveals a cabin wrapped in maroon leather with sport bucket seats that will certainly provide plenty of support. We're sure there will be more information about the car and its interior at upcoming auto shows, but until then, scroll down for Acura's press release.
Acura NSX is industry's first supercar with a female design lead
Mon, Jan 19 2015Michelle Christensen. Unless you've been casting about the web for some behind-the-scenes takes on recent exotic car launches or were unusually curious during the early days of the sport crossover trend, her name probably means nothing to you. She grew up in Northern California, where her family drag-raced. Venerables like the 1932 Ford, Plymouth GTX, and Dodge Super Bee rolled through her family garage. And Christensen grew up designing prom dresses for friends and dreaming of working in a pit crew. In fact, she didn't even realize car design was a real profession until junior high, when her father pointed out Chip Foose at a car show. After that, she was hooked, so she went to Art Center College of Design in Pasadena, where she reimagined the Plymouth Barracuda as her senior project. Today, Christensen can add the title of lead exterior designer on the 2016 Acura NSX to her resume. The first woman to lead the shape of a supercar, Christensen actually opened up her "First!" account with Acura in 2005 when the company swooped her up the night of graduation and she became its first female exterior car designer. Her first sketch on the job was a concept for the ZDX, and the bigwigs chose her design for production. She joined the NSX team after the mid-engined concept was introduced at the 2012 Detroit Auto Show, replacing the front-engined V10 concept (we encourage you to go back and look at what was versus what is). Christensen thereafter led a crew of eight through a rework of the sheetmetal, with the focus being to keep the "emotional, 3-D kind of feeling." Reminiscing about her family's utterly unadorned '32 Ford hot rod, she said the NSX team was committed to keeping the design simple and light. Wind tunnel work led to larger bumper, hood and side intakes for better airflow on the production model. That, along with a switch in engine position, gave them a chance to go aggressive and to not only "punch more holes in it and make it more exotic," but also "take it to the gym and beef it up." In line with its decidedly un-retro rebirth, the third brake light that runs across the decklid is about the only nod to its predecessor. At age 34, we're certain we haven't seen the last of Christensen or her designs. Related Video:
Acura organizes new business division to confront falling sedan sales
Wed, 26 Feb 2014Honda and Acura North America have announced a major restructuring of operations in hopes of turning around Acura's flagging business. For 2013, sales for Acura's sedans dropped 10.4 percent, while its CUV sales grew by 21 percent. The newly formed Acura Business Planning Office will attempt to right the ship.
As part of the restructuring, Acura is promoting Erik Berkman from President of Honda R&D Americas to lead a new division called the Acura Business Planning Office. Berkman has been with Honda since 1982 and led development of the 2006 Accord. He was also the first US engineer to head North American research and development and has been head of Honda Performance Development since 2008. "Erik's appointment to the new Acura Business Planning Office is a clear indication of the high priority we place on Acura," said Honda spokesperson Jeffrey Smith to Automotive News.
American Honda Motor President and CEO Tetsuo Iwamura is also going to be working to improve the business. He has been elected chairman of American Honda's board, and has simultaneously taken the new position of Corporate Brand Officer to improve the management of the company's brands.
