1991 Honda CRX Si with 227,285 miles (does not run- engine jumps timing). 2nd owner of car- purchased in NH. Exterior is Tahitian Green Pearl (1991 only color). Has extremely rare seats from JDM ZC model- diagonal pastel stripes instead of USDM horizontal red stripes. Seats are in almost new condition, no rips, burns, tears- side bolsters and seat fabric are in perfect condition. Originally paid over $600 for them (came from Okinawa) and the seat mounting rails were converted to fit the 89-91 US cars (all cars outside North America used the 1988 US design seat rails for all four model years). Engine has low-restriction cone filter intake and stainless 4-2-1 header with 60mm B-pipe. Catalytic converter is 2 years old. New alternator and radiator, distributor replaced 3 years ago. Aftermarket cruise control (SCS Frigette) installed and will include copy of original instruction manual. 15” Ultra alloy wheels and Kumho all-season 205/50R15 tires (60+% tread). Honda CRV CD/AM/FM radio installed (with security code). Car has A/C but Freon leaked-out, needs leak found & recharged (still R-12). 5 speed manual transmission still shifts smoothly.

Note- seller reserves right to cancel auction before close, as vehicle is also listed for private sale locally.

Car overheated while wife was driving, had cylinder head completely rebuilt with new valve seals and deck resurfaced (new metal headgasket, not composite). Have spent over $2000 attempting to get running, local Honda dealer could not get the engine to stay in time.

Body needs major work because of typical rust - both rear quarter panels need replacing and car definitely needs a fresh coat of paint.

If you count just the value of the easily removable parts (seats- a design never sold in the USA, new radiator, freshly refurbished head, new alternator, and exhaust system, hard to find Honda center aimrest/storage bin- those items alone are worth at least $1200, if not more. And the rear privacy panel for the trunk area is in virtually new condition as well- try and find a good one of those!

Shipping- buyer will have to have the car towed, as the engine cranks, fires, but will not run long enough to move the car (sitting on a paved pad in my back yard).

Also have a full set of OEM Honda 13” Gold Crosslace alloy wheels with 175/70-13 all-season tires (80+% thread) plus one extra alloy rim (additional cost to purchase - see my other ebay auctions). Wheels will fit on the Si (are from my older DX). This is my last CRX (#5 over 28 years of ownership) and I have a lot of loose CRX components, including a stainless dual-tip muffler that needs a new flange welded-on, otherwise is perfect. Inquire about a package deal so I can clean house!

Honda recalling 25k Odyssey minivans over side curtain airbags

Fri, 02 May 2014

Honda's refreshed 2014 Odyssey (now with 100-percent more vacuum power!) launched last year, but is now being called back for issues related to the side curtain airbags. According to Honda, 24,889 Odyssey minivans are affected by an issue that may cause the Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) warning light to illuminate or, even worse, cause the side airbags to not deploy in a crash.
What went wrong, exactly? We'll let Honda explain:
During assembly of the electrical coupler for the side curtain airbag on the passenger's side of the vehicle, it is possible that the shorting terminal, which is used to prevent deployment of the airbag before it is assembled into the vehicle, may have been damaged. A damaged shorting terminal may illuminate the Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) indicator as well as prevent the side curtain airbag from deploying during a crash, increasing the risk of injury.

Honda getting in on the Daytona Prototype racing action

Fri, 14 Mar 2014

Racing fans at Sebring are plenty used to seeing Honda powering into the winner's circle, the Japanese motor company having claimed class victories at the endurance race in Florida in 2007, 2009, 2011, 2012 and 2013. Those were all in the LMP2 category, but with the Twelve Hours of Sebring now part of the combined United SportsCar Championship, Honda is branching out into another class: Daytona Prototypes.
The purpose-built racing machinery that were once part of the Grand-Am series are now racing alongside the LMP2 prototypes from the American Le Mans Series under the united championship. So far Ford and Chevy have signed on to power the Daytona Prototypes, and now Honda's joining their ranks as the only manufacturer to field entries in both categories of the championship's Prototype class.
The competition-spec 3.5-liter twin-turbo V6 revealed last month is based on the same J35 engine that powers everything from the Honda Accord to the Acura RLX and MDX. Now it will power the Riley chassis fielded by Starworks Motorsports, competing alongside the pair of Honda Performance Development (HPD) ARX-03b chassis which Extreme Speed Motorsports will campaign under LMP2 regulations, giving Honda a two-pronged, three-car assault on the top class of the new American sports car racing series.

Honda rolls out six-seat Jade Hybrid wagon in Japan

Wed, Jan 14 2015

Honda has tried its hand at making hybrids of all shapes and sizes – whether dedicated or adapted to partial electric propulsion. There was the original two-seat Insight, the five-passenger Insight that followed, the 2+2 CR-Z hatchback and the hybrid version of the Vezel crossover Â– to say nothing of hybrid versions of the Civic and Accord. And now there's one more... in Japan, anyway. That would be the Jade, a wagon developed for the Chinese market but which Honda is now bringing home for the JDM, with a few key differences. For starters, while the Civic-based, low-slung wagon/minivan is produced under joint venture with Dongfeng principally in five-seat configuration, the Japanese version is being offered with three rows of two seats each for a total of (you guessed it) six chairs. The six-seat configuration, also offered on the conventional Chinese-market model, does away with the middle seat in the middle row in favor of more elbow room. The JDM Jade is also ditching the conventional 1.8-liter inline four in favor of the 1.5-liter hybrid and seven-speed DCT from the Vezel and Fit hybrids. Now if we could just get it Stateside with the Civic Type R engine, we could have a real sleek power wagon on our hands that would make us forget all about the Seat Leon ST Cupra unveiled just last week and let us play British touring car champion on our daily commute.
