1991 Honda Civic DX Hatchback 5 speed. has 251k on the body. all stock!  All in one piece, this car was used but loved.  I am the third owner, the 2nd owner titled it at 88k,  I personally know the guy I bought it from, and I bought it with 237k.  I bought this car with the purpose of commuting to my job, 25 miles one way highway, which I did for some time quite happily, but I finally had something catch my eye and I bought a newer Accord.

When I bought the car, its was smoking, so I had taken it to the shop and had a new motor put in (have receipt for parts and labor, also the it is the correct stock engine, no swaps) and timing belt and water pump done. Other repairs, most I have receipts for, alternator, rebuild shift linkage (genuine honda oem parts) brake pads & fluid (04/2013), starter, battery and terminals, muffler, brake master cylinder, matching winter tires with lots of tread mounted on the factory honda enkei rims.  At the beginning of this season I brought the exhaust midpipe to a welder and had any weak spots taken care of so there would be no upcoming issues/corrosion to deal with, and I also replaced the gaskets between the pipes.

The bad, one cylinder has a misfire.  I work up to and sometimes over 70 hours a week, so I am not rushing to fix this...especially with a new daily driver and another 25 year old car I have that I love more.  The valve gasket looks to be leaking, but this is old news and hasn't been a problem.  The inspection expired at the end of Nov/2013,  I took it in and it failed for hydrocarbon at low idle only and I have the paper.  It will need a legal sticker.  The A/C isnt ice cold anymore.

Other than the misfire, this car still starts up, does not smoke, idles smooth/consistent, does not jump all over.  Tracks straight, does not pull.  37 +/- mpg.  Clutch is good.  No cracks in dash.  Seats are great 9/10.  I had the driver seat bolster redone with matching fabric from another older honda, and the bolster restuffed.  Stock radio, works, and speakers still work well.  Heat is hot!  Tires have loads of tread, brakes are newer.  The rear defroster still works, the third wiper still works, the hatch light still works.  The tires are snow tires and with the recent snow I was driving this car for the snow tires, and it didnt even complain at -7 degrees even with a misfire at one cylinder for misfire.  

If your interested, ask questions or come and see.  Everyone has different standards and this car is 23 years old and was driven.  Its lucky its had good owners who did not beat it and it shows it considering the age and miles, but its USED, as is, and not a garage queen.  I tried to include all the info I can think of so I dont waste anyones time, but as always feel free to ask anything.

Acura ILX headed for Civic-like early upgrades

Wed, 12 Dec 2012

The not-yet-ready-for-primetime 2012 Honda Civic saw it quickly returned to sender for refurbishment, now the Acura ILX is headed in the same direction in its very first year. Automotive News reports that the small, Civic-based sedan from Honda's luxury brand isn't meeting sales expectations, with an annualized rate of 22,000 to 24,000 sales instead of the 30,000 the company is after. More telling is that the ILX "is being outsold by the Buick Verano, Volkswagen CC and Audi A4," and, except for two months since it launched, it has also been outdone by the Acura TSX it is meant to replace.
Part of the cause has been the 2.0-liter, four-cylinder engine: its 150 horsepower to motivate a sedan that can weigh up to 2,970 pounds doesn't offer the kind of performance or value experience that buyers in the segment respond to. Another big issue is that the top-level 2.4-liter engine is only offered with a six-speed manual even though most buyers of the highest trim don't really want to shift their own gears. Lastly, the ILX might not put enough space between it and its frugal underpinnings - our first drive review pegged it as "the world's nicest Honda Civic."
An automatic transmission is on the way for the 2.4-liter, but it isn't clear when. And while Honda admits that the 2.0-liter is underpowered and Automotive News says it's on the way out, the company hasn't yet said how that situation will be corrected.

2013 Honda Civic WTCC is ready for racing

Wed, 06 Mar 2013

Drumming up a little excitement for the 2013 FIA World Touring Car Championship, Honda brought its new Civic WTCC car to the bright lights of Geneva for all to see. Honda joined WTCC late last year entering the final three races. The racing outfit will run this year's entire 12-round season, which kicks off later this month in Italy.
In the off-season, Honda made a few updates to its WTCC entry including better aerodynamics, improved suspension and braking and numerous engine and turbo enhancements. Two teams will field the new Civic racecar in this year's season: Honda Racing Team JAS and a private team from Hungary, Zeng"o Motorsport.
Fans of the WTCC in the US will be pleased to know that series makes a return visit to Sonoma Raceway on September 8 for the Race of the United States.

Honda CEO says we shouldn't expect any new sports cars

Tue, 19 Nov 2013

It wasn't so long ago that Honda was known for its sporty two-door models, with models ranging from the Civic del Sol to the Prelude and from the Acura Integra and RSX to the Honda S2000. But look at its range today and all you'll see are the Civic and Accord coupes. Honda has essentially let competitors like the Scion FR-S/Subaru BRZ and Nissan 370Z take the place it once claimed as its own. But if you were hoping Honda would fight back with a new coupe or convertible of its own, we're afraid you're going to have to downgrade those hopes to pipe dreams.
While in Japan ahead of the Tokyo Motor Show, Autoblog had a chance to sit down with American Honda CEO Tetsuo Iwamura (pictured at right). When we asked about the potential for a new sports coupe or convertible in the Honda or Acura lineup, he pointed to the current Civic and Accord coupes - not to mention the upcoming new NSX - but said that Honda has no replacement for any of the aforementioned models (or a rival for the FR-S or 370Z) in the pipeline, saying only that the company is monitoring potential demand.
What Iwamura-san did note was that he's a personal fan of the new S660 roadster (pictured above) set to be unveiled tomorrow, and he is pushing (or at least hoping) that it will come to North America. Given that he's head of both Honda's American office and its global automobile operations, one might think that the only person he would have to persuade is himself (well... himself, and potential buyers), but the sporty droptop looks to be about kei-sized, which sadly suggests that it may be too small for American tastes and perhaps not designed with US crash-test standards in mind anyway.
