1989 Honda Crx Base Coupe 2-door 1.5l on 2040-cars

Year:1989 Mileage:198000 Color: car has a base/clear paint job dont professionally in Milano Red PPG brand paint

I have listed here my personal 1989 honda CRX DX 1.5L DPFI 5spd. Im getting rid of her to fund my 69 dodge project. This car has many new parts, recent maintenance and very clean and complete interior. For the most part the car is stock, never had the motor swapped, no wiring repairs. It has ALWAYS been adult driven never ever raced (come on, its a dual point 1.5L not a race car). other than that this car has been tastefully modified.

Exterior:

car has a base/clear paint job dont professionally in Milano Red PPG brand paint. no cheap paint job here! Also plenty of paint/clear on the car for a wet sand and a buff. All rust repaired properly with steel oem panels. very little filler used. it has 3 coats of clear with gold pearl. All trim has been cleaned and coated, rear window seals are new. the windows were removed before paint and the old hard gaskets replaced so no more leaks from the rear windows like most CRX's. every panel on this car is oem no certifit or body master junk here only honda.

Interior:

Mint seats with NO rips in the the cloth where normally the driver side bolster is torn to shreds. oem radio, all knobs, trim and all inside is there and very clean. The rear cargo cover is complete though the vertical part in the back is a little worse for wear. the rear top cargo cover is still in one piece NOT split in two like most CRX's this age. carpet is very clean, comes with CRX oem floor mats but they show their age. Windows were originally tinted but i removed it all except the rear hatch glass. it definitely helps keep the sun from beating down on the interior through that big back window. not only that i didnt want to risk damaging the rear defrosters because they still function.

Drive train:

Motor has been gone through and runs amazing with new timing belt, tensioner, water pump, head gasket, plugs, wires, filters, fresh oil change, batter, new clutch 6k miles ago.  Ive also put in a new thermostat, random vacuum hose and lines as needed.

Wheels:

Rims are factory Acura Intergra wheels commonly called "blades" or "swirlies" in my area. The clear has been removed and they have been polished. They could be taken a little further but I dont want too much flash. Tires are almost new Kumho ecstas 195/50/15.

Suspension:

This Crx rides on Black Works Racing full coilovers, BWR rear lower control arms and Skunk2 front upper camber kit. The brakes are oem type pads but not cheapy charlie. I personally replaced the axles a little while back as one was clicking.

Exhaust:

2.25" aluminized piping with a factory cat,  new O2 sensor, oem resonator and a magnaflow muffler. has a very nice not ricey sound. very throaty for the engine size.

I have added oem mud flaps and a factory Si lip to the car. The rears are new oem and the fronts are older but in good shape. The bumper lights and blinkers are all oem and in great shape! the carpet in the car is in very pristine shape as well. Im sure there is something I am missing. I will update it as I remember details. That all being said, this is a 25 year old car. the doors close like a brand new car and seal tight but it does have little things here and there that arent perfect. The hatch rattles a little bit over big bumps, minor scuffs on the plastic on the inside, the little tab in the glove box broke but i glued it. Its been fine ever since and you cant tell unless its pointed out. The driver side door catch has been repaired professionally and is tight and straight as the day the car was made. Like i said, little stuff here and there. The car is not perfect but this is personally the cleanest of 9 crx cars that i have owned. Is it a show car? no but damn close. It gets great gas mileage, gets a ton of looks and is done very well in my opinion. What you see is what you get. NO warranties implied car for sale as is where is. I have a clean title in hand ready to go. I will also entertain REASONABLE offers.

2nd annual Automobile Advertising of the Year Awards revealed

Tue, Jan 13 2015

There was some absolutely fantastic auto advertising in 2014, ranging from funny to inspiring. Marking the best of it from the past year, the Second Annual One Show Automobile Advertising of the Year Awards were announced during the 2015 Detroit Auto Show (full disclosure: Autoblog was among the award's sponsors, and Editor-in-Chief Sharon Carty was a voter). Unlike previously, there were no brands with dominance over the list this time. Presented by The One Club, the awards have an international scope and hand out honors in a variety of categories. In the Broadcast TV group, there were three winners this year. First, there was The Scripted Life from Audi for the Q3 about breaking out of life's monotony. Also, Dad's Sixth Sense from Hyundai marketed the safety features in the Genesis. Finally, Unbreakable Drivers showed manly men being tested for the Toyota Hilux in Australia. The Online Video prize went to the fantastic The Epic Split spot from Volvo Trucks starring Jean-Claude Van Damme. The best Interactive ad was the Honda video titled The Other Side for the Civic Type R, and the Experiential Advertising nod was for the Volkswagen Eyes on the Road clip that showed the dangers of texting and driving to a theater full of moviegoers in Hong Kong. Finally, the Public Choice Award went to the BMW commercial called Hello Future using the words of sci-fi author Arthur C. Clarke for the i8. In the award not for videos, Jeep won the Print/Outdoor category for its Upside Down campaign. Check the ads out below, which show different animals when upside down. Also, look farther down for all of the winning videos and read their full announcements.

Winners will be presented on-stage at a special event during the NAIAS Press Preview on Tuesday, January 13, 2015, at the Cobo Center in Detroit at 4:55 p.m. The event is sponsored by AOL's Autoblog.

NHTSA investigating 550k Pontiac G6 models, 320k Honda Odysseys

Mon, 10 Jun 2013

According to two separate reports in The Detroit News, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is launching investigations into 550,000 Pontiac G6 (pictured above) and 320,000 Honda Odyssey (pictured right) models. The G6 models are all from the 2005 to 2007 model years, while the Odyssey minivans are from the 2003 and 2004 model years. The two NHTSA probes are not related.
In the case of the G6, this is an upgrade to an original investigation that started in February after NHTSA received "hundreds of reports" that the brake lights on these cars may malfunction. According to The Detroit News, the lights may come on when the brake pedal is not depressed, and likewise, the brake lights may not illuminate when the pedal has been pushed. General Motors was able to provide NHTSA with a significant number of warranty claims, including 1,100 reports that could potentially relate to this problem, one of which indicates a vehicle crash.
For Honda, the NHTSA probe concerns airbags that may deploy unexpectedly. The government agency received six complaints from 2003-04 Odyssey owners saying that the front airbags suddenly went off without a crash. The Detroit News reports that three of the six owners sustained injuries from these incidents. Additionally, NHTSA has received 41 complaints from owners saying the vehicle's airbag warning light had illuminated.

Best sport sedans for 2022 and 2023

Thu, Nov 11 2021

SUVs dominate the car industry at every size and price level, but some people still prefer the looks, and more importantly, the performance and comfort, of the traditional sedan. With a lower ride height, lighter weight and generally smaller size, they often are much more fun to drive, and can even be more comfortable. Sport sedans of course lean harder on the performance side of things, and are among the best options for sheer speed and fun, thanks to those inherent characteristics. We've rounded up the ones in the segment that do the sporty dance better than any others in 2024 to give you a handy guide when you're shopping for one of your own. You'll find a wide array of cars here including gas, electric and hybrid powertrains. They'll have manual and automatic transmissions and drive the front, rear or all four wheels. Technically a few hatchbacks have slipped in, but they're close enough in look and feel that we wanted to include them. And excluding them means you might miss out on some of the best-driving options available. You wouldn't want that, would you? Alfa Romeo Giulia Why it stands out: Punchy four-cylinder; astounding power from Quadrifoglio; light and nimble character; awesome shift paddlesCould be better: Clunky infotainment; sub-par switchgear Read our Alfa Romeo Giulia review We start this list with one of the most predictable inclusions: the Alfa Romeo Giulia. Yes, it's a stereotype that the Italian sport sedan is fun to drive, but the fact is, well, it is. The Giulia comes standard with a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder making 280 horsepower, making it one of the most powerful four-cylinders in the segment. It's paired with a snappy and smooth eight-speed transmission and either rear-wheel or all-wheel drive.  The engine is lively and torquey, if a little short of revs, and the chassis feels super-light. The steering is eager and the car jumps into corners. We also highly recommend getting a version with the enormous and superb aluminum paddle shifters that make clicking through gears much more entertaining. And on the topic of the interior, it's attractive, but the various switches and knobs feels a little cheap, and the infotainment system is clunky. Of course there's also the incredible Giulia Quadrifoglio at the high end. It gets a Ferrari-derived twin-turbo 2.9-liter V6 making 505 hp, and it's rear-wheel drive only.
