I bought this 1997 accord only about 6 months ago and the transmission went on it(I bought another off caigslist and did it myself..2 days, but this is a first for me, but wasn't that hard and I'm sure I did it right...I'm not a mechanic  but do most everything myself, just not good at electrical wiring things). Car is MINT otherwise(original paint , interior excellent, motor has 174k 4cyl vtec and runs perfect). Brand new struts all around and brake pads. Gorgeous car except something is wrong after I changed out the transmission. It works fine for a mile or so, then starts slipping like in neutral , but when I disconnect battery cable for a few moments and then reconnect it, it works fine again for a mile or so. Very weird, but I am frustrated wit it and already have $4200 into the car right now and am not familiar with electronic solenoids and other electrical things on cars. Its a beautiful car otherwise and I'd like to get at least $3,000 for it since the car really looks almost like it is NEW!!!! Seriously, its a beautiful accord and the 97's are some of the sharpest in my opinion. Its been garaged its whole life which is why I bought it, but I only put 1,000 miles on it before the problem started and I've got another car now and am not dumping more cash into it trying to "guess" what is wrong. Great for a mechanic or someone that knows more about these cars than myself. Pictures say it all. Seat covers and steering wheel cover I juist put on to protect the seats which are in perfect shape also. Dump a few dollars into it and you'll have basically a new car that looks it also. I'm not going to take a beating on it, so $3,000 is fair for the condition the car is in otherwise.  Plenty of 97 accord enthusiasts out there that would love it. Perfect for a manual tranny swap also(would definitely fix any prob with the auto tranny, but like I said, I think its electrical b/c when you disconnect/reconnect battery, all works fine again for just a little while. Selling in as-is condition on a first come, first served basis and will not hold w/out cash down. Thanks. Pics don't do it justice. The car is all original and in excellent shapebeside problem expressed. (Can have old transmission also for parts or whatever) Original paint is perfect, no dents/dings, etc.... Always waxed every few weeks... VERY nice looking Honda! I honestly don't believe you can find another 97 Honda accord ex in a s beautiful and rust free condition as this one. Welcome to inspect car prior to purchase, but info I provided here is pretty darn accurate. If you have a totaled one, with low miles, you could swap everything and have a pretty much new looking/running car, or just figure out why the thing keeps tripping something in the computer(at least that's what I think is happening because when battery disconnects/reconnects, the thing is fine for a little bit(warmed up OR cold). Could be something stupid easy, but I don't know, honest.  It started doing it shortly after I replaced the vss sensor on the transmission I put in it because the speedo and cruise stopped working. Now they both work but the other problem started within a day or two. It was a 1995 tranny I put in it, if that may have done something(and I think one said obd2 on it and the one I put in said obd1 on it(or vice-versa?).... Maybe that's what is tripping something, but like I said, I'm done guessing and pumping money into guesses. Looks as good as a car that's only a year or two old, honest! Very minor interior blemish's that are hardly even noticed unless you're me(I'm a perfectionist though)  If you want anymore detailed pics, just ask and I'll send them to you by email if that's ok.   Thanks for looking. You WON'T be disappointed by physical condition of this car. My neighbors thought it was brand new when I got it!!!!  Oh..., tires are prob about 65-70% still good and have a year or two of life still on them, depending on how many miles you drive a year.
NOTE:  I AM LISTING LOCALLY ALSO, SO MAY CANCEL LISTING AT ANY TIME. THANKS

eBay Find of the Day: 1985 Honda City Turbo II is JDM forbidden fruit you can own

Fri, 14 Feb 2014

It's always fun to cruise different global eBay Motors sites and check out the cars that we never got here. Thankfully, America's 25-year import limit on cars means that some of the rarities from the 80s are finally legal on these shores. This 1985 Honda City Turbo II is a great example of a fun, little car that we never got new but can be made legal here now.
The City was basically the Japanese company's '80s equivalent of today's Fit, albeit significantly smaller. The little urban runabout was so popular in its basic form that Honda decided to take things up a notch and turbocharge it. That car sold enough to warrant an even higher performance version called the Turbo II, which added an intercooler and the flared fenders you see here. The latter helped it earn the nickname "bulldog" for its boxy, aggressive appearance.
Honda claimed at the time that its little 1.2-liter, turbocharged four-cylinder produced 109 horsepower and 118 pound-feet of torque with a five-speed manual. In a car that weight just 1,620 pounds, you can imagine it was a very entertaining little package.

2015 Honda CR-V performs poorly in Swedish AWD test [w/video]

Fri, 24 Oct 2014

Swedish auto magazine Teknikens Värld has never been afraid to call out automakers when a vehicle fails one of its battery of examinations. Its famous Moose Test recently caught the Porsche Macan out, and a few years ago, there was a protracted argument between Teknikens Värld and Jeep over the performance of a Grand Cherokee in that evaluation.
This time, the 2015 Honda CR-V is raising the magazine's hackles, but it has nothing to do with avoiding a giant mammal. Snow is obviously an issue in Sweden, and Teknikens Värld has a test that challenges all-wheel drive systems in low-traction settings. On a slanted surface, the Swedes put the vehicles' front wheels on rollers with no traction and demands the rears accelerate away. The Honda couldn't do it. Teknikens Värld claims that it initially found the same result last year from the European CR-V, but Honda Sweden put out a software upgrade correcting the behavior in the test. This year, the CUV went back to failing.
While that's the magazine's side, Honda Sweden doesn't see the test as fair. In a statement to Teknikens Värld, the company explains the way the CUV's all-wheel drive system works. It also claims that the test isn't simulating a realistic situation. "In real conditions, regardless of the surface, there is a certain amount of friction always available for both front and rear wheels," the announcement says. "A scenario like the roll test with such a high difference in grip between the front and the rear wheels is highly unlikely."

1964 Honda SM600 roadster gets elemental in Jay Leno's Garage

Mon, Dec 22 2014

Honda has made a handful of sports cars in the past, with examples like the Acura NSX and Honda S2000 standing as noteworthy examples. But before either of them came along, there was the Honda S600. And Jay Leno has a beautiful example from 1964 in his garage for this latest video installment. The inspiration for the new JDM S660, the original S600 came out in 1964 – which just happened to be the same year that Honda broke into Formula One. And you can hear that relationship when the dual-chain-drive 600cc inline-four revs up to its 9,500-rpm redline. It may not have had the power of contemporary British roadsters from MG and Triumph, but it had plenty of character. When Leno got a hold of this one – a top spec SM model – he and his team took it apart nut and bolt, powder-coated the chassis, resprayed the body and put it all back together better than new. But you'll want to hear Jay tell the story himself in this fifteen-minute video clip. News Source: Jay Leno's Garage via YouTube Celebrities Honda Convertible Classics Videos Jay Lenos Garage
