Thank you for looking at my 1978 Honda Civic 1200. This car is an honest survivor, almost all original as near as I can tell. I did put a brown fender on the right side as you can see in the pictures. She really runs nice and body is mostly straight and gets a LOT of attention when I'm driving it. Car just turned over 120k miles. I bought the car in 2007 from my neighbor. He said he bought it from the son of the original owner and it was just used locally as it sounded like the original owner was older, he thinks 120k was correct as well. Since this only has a 5-digit odometer, I cannot 100% guarantee it's not 220k, but if you look at the car, it doesn't look like it has that much wear.

This car still has the original spare tire and the rim it's on looks brand new. Since I have owned the car, I have replaced the brake master cylinder and rubber brake lines at the wheels, fixed the radio and installed a new antenna. I think the radio might be original as well, but not sure, but it works nicely and the cassette player does work as well. I also put in a new head cover gasket (NOT a head gasket). The carpets are still nice in the car and overall it's pretty clean. As you can see in the photos, the seats need covers or to be reupholstered. I was also able to locate some very nice clean bumpers that really made a huge difference. All exterior lights work including the reverse lights. I have had it garaged since I have owned it. The paint is starting to oxidize a bit, but you can definitely still see some shiny-ness under that. Looks good for a 35-year old car that did not come with clear coat!

What it needs:

-Upholstery (rear bench looks pretty good, but all other need replacement)

-Carb needs to be rebuilt (currently have it set higher so it won't stall)

-May need new thermostat or possibly radiator.

-Some rust in the engine compartment at the front on the inner fenders. There is also minor surface rust on Right Quarter Panel where there is minor collision damage (VERY little elsewhere)

-Has a small oil leak from around the head cover gasket (NOT head gasket)

-Drivers door looks like someone broke into it. Lock works, but sheet metal is damaged around the key hole and may need to be fixed to look better.

This is a fun little car and won't need much to be a good reliable daily driver. I have run the car while parked and I noticed that it started to get hot, but I did NOT allow it to overheat. I have driven this car many times and have no concerns about it's mechanical state. Since it turned 120k, you may want to consider a timing belt (factory recommendation).

A few special items on this vehicle. First off, it comes with a special Honda WOODEN steering wheel and the VIN ends with 90000. This is the trunk model, does NOT have a hatchback.

I have tried to be as thorough in my description as possible, however it is a 35 year old vehicle, so unfortunately I cannot give any kind of guarantee. Is available as is, where is and buyer would be responsible for pick up or arranging transportation. Vehicle is located in Spokane, WA and I would be happy to bring it to a shipper in this city.

Please feel free to let me know if you have any questions.

Honda demonstrates new Vehicle-to-Pedestrian safety tech [w/video]

Fri, 30 Aug 2013

We're fresh from a balmy rooftop deck in downtown Detroit, where Honda held a meeting this week to discuss and demonstrate a few upcoming advanced safety features. A clear focus of the mini event was the company's new Vehicle-to-Pedestrian (V2P) technology, with a suite of Vehicle-to-Motorcycle (V2M) tech a significant second course.
With spirits still high from announcing the 2014 Odyssey as the first minivan to win the Top Safety Pick+ status from IIHS - and after seeing the application of new high-strength-steel sections of the Acura MDX body structure - Honda shared the fruits of some safety tech that is still in the research phase.

Honda recalling 204k CR-V, Odyssey, Acura RDX models over rollaway risk

Fri, 19 Apr 2013

Honda has announced a recall over a possible rollaway risk that affects 204,169 crossover and minivan models. The specific vehicles in question are the 2012-13 Honda CR-V and Odyssey, as well as the 2013 Acura RDX.
According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, "the brake-shift interlock blocking mechanism may become slow and allow the gear selector to be moved from the Park position without pressing the brake pedal." In other words, these vehicles could unintentionally roll away.
NHTSA states that this scenario may only happen during sub-freezing temperatures, but notes that this means the vehicles fail to conform with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 114: Theft Protection and Rollaway Prevention. Honda will notify owners of the problem, and dealerships will install an updated interlocking mechanism free of charge.

Scion FR-S pitted against oldtimers RX-8 and S2000

Tue, 07 May 2013

There are very few vehicles available today that compare directly with the Scion FR-S and Subaru BRZ twins. A case could be made for the Mazda MX-5 Miata, and possibly even six-cylinder versions of American coupes like the Ford Mustang. Pretty much everything else is either too expensive or is powered by the wrong set of wheels.
The boys from EverydayDriver on YouTube decided the only fair way to judge the inherent qualities of the Toyobaru twins was to pit them against two standard-bearers of years past: The Honda S2000 and Mazda RX-8. Neither of these cars is an exact matchup, with the Honda boasting a convertible top and the RX-8 offering more practicality via a rear seat and two reverse-opening doors for easier access. What they do offer, however, are similar performance stats and proven reputations for excellent handling.
None of this talk answers the real question, though: Which one wins the comparison test? Scroll down to watch the video, and be prepared for something of a surprise conclusion.
