I bought this vehicle to use during the winter while my diesel was parked in a garage. I ended up fixing it through the winter and not having a car at all. This car should only be purchased by someone interested in Hondas and someone who wants to do more with it. Although it can be driven on the road now it has the potential to be an amazing car and should be purchased by someone who wants to do more with it.

The car has been painted and rust was removed with bondo added, it will need another paint job (see pictures). The interior is in acceptable shape, pretty stripped, no radio or speakers. It is a manual and has cable clutch - if you have not driven a car like this be aware it drives differently. 

The cooling fan was not attached after the engine swap, I added a manual toggle switch inside the cab to turn it on and off.
The car had an fuel/air issue and an idle issue that caused the engine not to work - I fixed this over the winter and it has not given me any issues since.

As far as I know the car has been in no accidents.

The car as many aftermarket parts in it, but still passed inspection last year with the additions.

The cars treads are medium-low and will need new tires to pass inspection (NYS). 


VTEC bypasses the computer and is on a switch in the cab. Previous owner did this, it seems to work when I drive it down the road.

Please email me with any questions or more/detailed pictures.

I bought the car for a winter as my mercedes diesel can't be plugged in when I moved into an apartment. I ended up fixing the honda all winter instead and my mercedes is back on the road and I have no use for this vehicle anymore. 

This is my first car sold on ebaymotors so if you have anything that I should add onto here please let me know.

Why Honda of America won't fit 2014 Fit models with start/stop

Tue, 24 Sep 2013

One of the most recent yet notable additions to the modern vehicle's growing suite of fuel-saving technologies is the humble start-stop system. It's rather simple - when the vehicle is stopped, the engine shuts off. It then fires back up when the driver starts to take his foot off the brake or step on the clutch. For one of the most important fuel sippers of the year, though, start-stop tech is a no-go.
Honda will not be offering the system on the North American-spec, non-hybrid Fit despite it being a standard item on both the hybrid (pictured above) and gas-only Japanese domestic models. According to Honda, it's ostensibly due to the momentary lag, that occurs when the gas engine re-fires and power is available. The start-stop-equipped Fits "will lose at stoplights to V6s," Nobuhiko Shishido, the lead powertrain engineer for the Fit, told Automotive News. This is just an observation on our part, but unless the new Fit turns up with dramatically more than the current car's 117 horsepower, it'll "lose at stoplights" regardless of whatever fuel-saving features are fitted.
The other issue Honda sees is more realistic. In the world of the EPA, stop-start systems are not taken into account in fuel economy testing. That makes the cost-adding technology a tough sell for US consumers who are forced to take a dealer's word on real-world economy gains over the milage numbers on the window sticker. That said, wouldn't it at least make sense to offer start-stop as an option? Have your say in the Comments below.

Fernando Alonso expects to retire after McLaren-Honda

Fri, Apr 10 2015

When Fernando Alonso was three years old, his father gave him a model of a McLaren-Honda grand prix car. That's where his path to Formula One started, and it's where he wants his career to end as well. Speaking with Autosport, the two-time world champion indicated that he intends to retire after he's done at McLaren, rather than switch to another team. Of course, he didn't indicate just when that would be, but as far as he's concerned, the road ends in Woking. The highly rated and immensely successful Spanish driver has been on the grid for fourteen years now. He started out with Minardi (precursor to Toro Rosso) in 2001, then spent four seasons with Renault, where he scored back-to-back world titles. He then switched to McLaren for one year, where he won four races, then back to Renault for another three where he and the team fell off their form. Fernando subsequently switched to Ferrari where he spent the last five seasons, thrice finishing second in the world championship but never quite managing to clinch an elusive third title. This year he's back at McLaren but has had a bumpy start. After crashing during a pre-season test session, he sat out the season opener, and failed to finish the second round in Malaysia. He's now in Shanghai preparing for this weekend's Chinese Grand Prix. Like this writer, he'll be turning 34 in July, making him the fourth oldest driver on the grid this year. So he's still got a good few years in him, and will likely want to see the troubled rekindling of the McLaren-Honda partnership through to winning form. But while nobody can tell what the future will bring, it looks like any other team that hopes to lure the champ away could end up disappointed.

Honda fixes Fit flaw, improves performance on key crash test [w/video]

Thu, 21 Aug 2014



The Fit's grade on the small-front overlap test improved from "marginal" to "acceptable."
Back in March, safety engineers at Honda were disappointed when the much-anticipated 2015 Fit received a substandard grade on an important crash test conducted by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety.
