Up for sale is my 1991 CRX Si, with a built and turbo'd B16 VTEC. This car was built right, and is very clean (and very quick)! I bought this from my friend a while back, after helping him build it. This has been a great daily driver, but I got a new job and need a truck, so she has to go.

CONDITION (Important, please read)

Exterior: 6/10 Could certainly use a few touch-ups here and there, but very clean for a CRX/EF. Windshield is cracked, but it hasn't spread since I've owned the car. Paint is coming off/small dent on driver's side (see pics), minor scratches here and there. The paint job was done with a gun; it's not perfect by any means, but it looks better than a lot of DIY jobs I've seen out there. Also, I had a separate key for the doors/trunk, but I lost it. The trunk is locked, and the passenger door can lock, but if you want to lock the driver's side door, you'll need to get a key made. The mesh wheels have regular wear and tear, but shine up nicely.

Interior: 8/10 No headliner, but the metal is rust-free, clean, and like-new. Some small scratches and blemishes on driver's side pillar. A/F still needs to be hooked up, I just haven't had time to get around to it. No stereo at the moment due to gauges occupying all available DIN space. But you could install one with some creative mounting, or in the glove box for that stealthy feel. Interior is in good condition for a 23 year old car. Seats have a few small blemishes/marks, and the tear mentioned above, but otherwise very clean.

Mechanical: 8.5/10 Everything works flawlessly and reliably. For a built and turbo'd motor, I still get 32+ MPG on the highway. CEL for code 9 has shown since the build/swap, and there is a subtle head tick -- the valves may need slight adjusting, but it runs great and pulls strung and hard just the way it is. Clutch grabs hard and strong, no grinds, pop-outs, etc. Doesn't burn, leak, or smoke oil or coolant. Temp always stays cool, even after spirited driving. The clutch "chatters" a little bit, but this is perfectly normal for a 6 puck unsprung clutch. No slips whatsoever. Brakes are strong as well. The only thing this car will potentially need is new tires in the next few months, and maybe an alignment ($75 at your local tire shop). Just rotated the tires the other day, however.

All bulbs, turn signals, brake lights, headlights, high beams, etc. work great.

This car is loud, fast, and tons of fun. But just to give fair warning, if you've never driven a 6 puck unsprung clutch before, it's going to take some serious getting used to. The engagement point is very specific -- you just can't slip it in first. It took me about 2 weeks to get used to it, but I daily drive it now with no problems!

----------------------------------

This car is (believe it or not) my third CRX. She's an absolute joy to drive, but it's time to let someone else enjoy it. Feel free to ask any questions you like. You can message me through ebay or shoot me a text at 513-824-1430. Please no calls (I work during the day), texts are fine any time, 24/7, though it might take me a little while to get back to you if I'm in the middle of something or sleeping.

Cash or cashier's check only. Local pickup only. Clean OH title in hand. Buyer is responsible for pickup within 7 days of auction end.

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.

In partnership with the North American International Auto Show (www.naias.com) in Detroit, The One Club today unveiled the best automotive ads from around the world in five categories: broadcast TV, online video, interactive, experiential advertising, and print & outdoor. 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.

Honda Walking Assist Device begins US testing at Rehabilitation Institute of Chicago

Sun, 17 Nov 2013

For years, we've been wondering what implications Honda's Asimo robot could have in the real world, and now we're starting to get a sense of that. Honda announced that it will begin its first US clinical studies of the Walking Assist Device at the Rehabilitation Institute of Chicago in an effort to provided improved mobility for people who have suffered a stroke. While the automotive tie-in here is pretty weak, this is the first time we've heard about this device since it was unveiled back in 2008.
Weighing in at six pounds, Honda's device is fitted to the waist and legs of patients to make it easier to walk, and the 22.2-volt lithium-ion battery provides enough electricity for more than an hour of operation. According to Honda's press release, which is posted below, up to 80 percent of the almost 800,000 stroke victims each year (in the US alone) are afflicted with limited mobility, so a medical aid like this could have a big impact in the real world.

Autoblog Minute: VW finds CO2 'irregularities', Takata dropped by automakers, SEMA recap

Fri, Nov 6 2015

Volkswagen's diesel emissions scandal gets a new wrinkle, US regulators hit Takata Corporation with a substantial fine, and we head to Las Vegas for a look at tuner paradise at the 2015 SEMA show. Autoblog senior editor Greg Migliore reports on this edition of Autoblog Minute Weekly Recap. Show full video transcript text [00:00:00] Volkswagen's diesel emissions scandal gets a new wrinkle. US regulators issue a significant fine to Takata Corporation. And we take a peek inside tuner paradise at the 2015 SEMA show. I'm senior editor Greg Migliore and this is your Autoblog Minute Weekly Recap. The VW diesel emissions scandal, first brought to light in September, gets a new wrinkle, as an internal investigation by the German automaker revealed [00:00:30] irregularities in CO2 emissions that could affect approximately 800,000 vehicles. VW estimates the issue could pose a 2-billion euro economic risk. VW claims that most of the vehicles affected have diesel engines, but industry analysts say a 1.4-liter gas engine is also affected. VW says that fuel consumption figures were set too low during the CO2 certification process. During all of this, sales of some diesel-powered Volkswagen, Audi, and Porsche models [00:01:00] have been halted. Takata Corporation is back in the news in connection with its deadly airbag scandal. Federal regulators fined Takata $70 million. If the parts supplier does not comply, the fine could balloon to $200 million. Takata was also dropped this week by its biggest customer, Honda. And now, Toyota and Mazda will be following Honda's lead in dropping Takata. We're also hearing that Mitsubishi and Subaru are considering a switch in air-bag inflator suppliers. SEMA 2015 [00:01:30] came and went. We saw offerings from Mopar, like the AWD Challenger concept. Honda unveiled a Ridgeline that it will race at the Baja 1000, which gives us a hint at what future production model could look like. The celebrity presence was also felt in Vegas as it always is. Kid Rock brought a Duramax Diesel Chevy Silverado, and Acura restored and presented Ludacris with his now famous 1993 Acura Legend. Those are the highlights from the week that was. Be sure to come back on Saturday for my full recap, [00:02:00] where I'll have some added insight into Hyundai's foray into the luxury sector. For Autoblog, I'm Greg Migliore. Autoblog Minute is a short-form video news series reporting on all things automotive.
