For Sale: My wife's 1989 Honda CRX DX, automatic transmission, 164,186 miles, engine completely rebuilt in 2010, original 1.5l (1493cc) D15B2 SOHC engine and tranny. We get 33 mpg in town and 36 mpg on the highway at 75mph.
We bought this car in 2006 with 109,421 miles on it. She used it as a daily driver (4 mile commute, $27 of gas per month!) until we added to our family, and now we don't need a two seater (so I am told). The hot/cold switch is broken on the climate control, so I manually open and close the gate valve under the hood twice a year to switch the heater on/off. The fan controls do work. The AC blows 79 degrees, so it isn't cold. But you don't sweat. I have never had it looked at, but it hasn't gotten worse. The CD radio works fine, but it is 8 years old. We use a FM broadcaster for the ipod. The driver's seat has a seat cover that is the correct color. There is a 6"x2" hole in the outside bolster and a 2"x2" hole on the "bottom bolster". We don't smoke or have dogs. There is some old bondo that has started to crack at the front of the passenger side front fender (see photos). It looks great from ten feet away. This shouldn't be a big deal, and white is easy to match. But I don't enjoy body work; I'm an engine guy.The window tinting has some slight issues, but that is about it.

Wow. That made me tired just typing that. I know I did more work, but I have misplaced the receipts for the following: lower timing belt cover, water pump, heater hoses, radiator cap, grounding strap, windshield, valve job with engine rebuild, rear brake shoes, front struts/shocks, steering rack and three other tires (not listed above). All five tires have a lot of tread on them.
Included with the car is the owners manual, the Haynes Repair Guidebook (used) and these new parts: valve cover gasket, oil pan gasket, many other gaskets, rear brake shoes, Full size spare on Honda rim, fuel filter. Also included are these used parts that are all still in good working order: spark plug wires, spark plugs x8, trunk latch, timing belt, hood hinges, 2 rotor buttons, spare storage compartment for back area-matching blue, exhaust manifold gasket, working water pump, working starter, interior AC controls ($177 on eBay), tie rod ends, working brake master cylinder, good heater hoses, rubber exhaust hangers x3, good radiator hoses, alternator belt and AC belt. Not in working order, but to prove I was in there, I have the old bearings and piston rings.
This car has manual mirrors and windows. All gauges work. It runs smooth and drives great. The pre-OBD2 diagnosis system works fine, but the check engine light isn't illuminated. The paint is shiny. We kept it in the car port a lot because it is so small compared to our other cars. I have a clear title and keys in hand. It sips gas. I'm not interested in a trade unless it is a rear-wheel drive car from Italy or Germany. Please contact me if you would like to see more photos. Take note of my seller rating and bid knowing I want to keep my 100% satisfaction rating by giving you a fair and honest deal. If you are brand new to eBay, please contact me before biding. Please call or text me at 904 -710-752two. My name is Chris. The car is for sale locally, so this ad may disappear.

Automakers donating money, vehicles and supplies to Oklahoma tornado relief effort
Fri, 24 May 2013Judging by the destruction the Oklahoma City area experienced earlier this week, residents are going to need a lot of help in coming months. Fortunately, a number of automakers - including General Motors, Ford, Chrysler, Volkswagen, Honda and Toyota - have stepped up to donate money, supplies and vehicles to aid in the recovery and rebuilding processes.
Here's a quick rundown of which automakers have pitched in and what each contributed so far:
Ford Motor Company has donating $250,000 and a Transit Connect to the American Red Cross, and it will match all other donations made to the Red Cross (up to $250,000) using a special URL tied to the latter's website (link here). Additionally, its local Oklahoma dealers have thrown in an extra $150,000 for the United Way and the automaker will be offering an extra $500 toward the purchase of a new Ford vehicle.
James Glickenhaus' SCG 003 undisguised in street and track form
Fri, Feb 27 2015For James Glickenhaus buying a factory-made supercar isn't good enough; he wants to develop his own. Following up on the Ferrari Enzo-based P4/5 and later the P4/5 Competition, Glickenhaus' latest project is appropriately called the 003, and he's finally displaying it in road trim. These first undisguised photos of the SCG 003S show off a supercar with a front end reminiscent of a Ferrari Enzo. However, the rear evokes the look of a modern endurance racer with a fin running along the spine. A wing at the back connects it all together, and the massive diffuser should keep things planted too. Development of the 003 has been going for over a year by Scuderia Cameron Glickenhaus, but the company has set quite a challenge for itself to get just right. Glickenhaus wants his latest project to be a true racecar for the street. That idea gets thrown around a lot, but it might be true in this case. In motorsports trim, the SCG 003C (pictured inset) packs a mid-mounted Honda Performance Development twin-turbocharged V6, but the engine sits in a detachable rear subframe. When the time comes for the road, the car converts to the SCG 003S and allegedly swaps in a twin-turbo W12. It makes the vehicle the best of both worlds – at least in theory. SCG reportedly plans to show the 003 at the Geneva Motor Show, so we should get a better look then. Glickenhaus also wants to take the car racing in the 24-hour events at the Nurburgring and Spa later this year.
Honda's Acura NSX masterstroke: building the factory in Ohio
Tue, Apr 12 2016When Honda announced it was going to build its NSX supercar in Ohio instead of Japan, it caught everybody in the industry by surprise. No one expected this proud Japanese company to build its most technologically advanced sports car anywhere but in its home country. Now Honda has a supercar production facility in rural Ohio that would be the envy of any Formula One team. The people at Honda call it the PMC, but its official name is the Performance Manufacturing Center. It's a building that started out as a shipping facility for suppliers, but Honda invested $70 million to transform it into a showcase facility that will build the NSX. Honda benchmarked the assembly operations at Ferrari, Lamborghini, McLaren, and Bentley before work began on its facility. The 200,000 square-foot building will also double as a customer reception center – Honda will open the doors for customers to come see their car being built. It's also going to offer them high-speed test drives at the gigantic Transportation Research Center just down the road. No one expected this proud Japanese company to build its most technologically advanced sports car anywhere but in its home country. Inside, the layout is wide open and well lit. There are no stripes or lines on the floor and none of the different departments are walled off. This creates a more welcoming appearance and lets you get a comprehensive view of the entire process at a glance. And with an eye towards future lessons learned, most of the equipment is of a modular design that can be easily reconfigured or moved. The body shop and paint shop are enclosed by glass walls so that anyone can see what's going on inside. And while you'll see some automation here and there, the idea was to achieve a blend between man and machine, not to try and automate everything. This is a low-volume facility with production targeted at only eight to ten cars a day. The plant runs four days a week with one ten-hour shift. Don't expect to see rows of new NSXs parked on any dealer's lot. The car will only be built to order. Honda is obsessed with ensuring the NSX is built to the most exacting quality standards. The plant people pored over the JD Power Appeal study to determine what supercar customers care about the most, then looked at which aspects of that directly tie into manufacturing. They developed their quality control strategy with three goals in mind. First, they wanted to build everything right the first time with no adjustments.
