A ONE OF A KIND, SHOW WINNING WIDEBODY 417WHP EG CIVIC!

*** Please note : Autocheck shows a "MINOR ISSUE" because an 18 year old kid ran a stop sign (looking for his cellphone on the floor apparently) and basically bumped into my driver side rear wheel. The wheel was replaced with a brand new one of the same exact type. ***

 

*** Lots of pictures below including dyno video ***

 

This car has been my pride and joy for over 10 years but unfortunately other commitments and priorities has caused me to come to the decision to sell it. I simply do not have time for it anymore and would hate for it to just sit in my garage. For example, last year I only drove it close to 60 (SIXTY) miles total! You will be getting one VERY UNIQUE, ONE OF A KIND car that not only looks good but is also very fast and reliable. NOT FOR UNEXPERIENCED DRIVERS OR FAINT OF HEART!

 

This is a Florida car and has been garaged its entire life when it was not driven. Only driven in nice weather. Never been to drag strip (did not have time).

 

The body has approximately 185,000 miles on it, but the engine was bought with approximately 55,000 miles and the engine block was rebuilt to handle the turbo charger reliabily. The 5 speed transmission was replaced about 3 years ago and has approximately 70,000 miles on it. Car has been professionally dyno tuned on 93 octane pump gas by Lowe Performance of Alton, IL for reliability and power as well. I have put no more than 3,500 miles on the upgraded turbocharged engine over the past few years! So it should last you many, many years to come. One of the nice things about this car is that it can be daily driven like a normal Honda Civic and get great gas mileage as it still makes good power even without the turbo kicking in, so you do not have to constantly boost just for "normal" driving.

 

The body was painted with House of Kolor paint - Metallic Silver. It does have a few scratches, paint chips and VERY minor body damage (SEE PICS) - please bear in mind that I have had this car for over 10 years. Still can be driven to car shows and should not cost much at all to make it 100% perfect, if you chose to!

 

CAR HAS BEEN BUILT WITH REPUTABLE NAME BRAND PARTS. I wanted it to look cool, be fast and RELIABLE! This Civic makes 417 whp and 296 ft lb of Torque at 20 PSI (See Dyno sheet pic).

 *** Please note ***

The car does have minor issues. Here is a list of everything as far as I know :

Autocheck shows that there was a "MINOR ISSUE" - this is because a kid rolled through a Stop sign (looking for his cellphone on the floor apparently) and bumped into my driver side rear wheel. I had his insurance replace the rim with  a brand new one and repair the dent on the body, with a reputable bodyshop of my choice.

As mentioned, the body has small chips, and paint damage (front bumper - middle area) all shown in the pictures.

The wide body kit has some small cracks on it which can be very easily repaired by a bodyshop.

Exhaust has a small leak after the downpipe (hard to notice).

Idle control valve fluctuates sometimes (probably needs to be replaced and because of exhaust leak)

Needs a minor wheel alignment

Does not have Air Conditioning or Power Steering  (Due to performance modifications and space needed)

Heater valve cable will need to be replaced (it does not open the heater valve all the way because it got stretched - I do not drive the car in winter or very cold weather so I never replaced it)

The front seats have a small rip in the bottom - they can be restitched.

 

 PLEASE, NO TIRE KICKERS. NO JOY RIDES / TIME WASTERS! MONEY TALKS. Not desperate to sell the vehicle but I'd rather not just have it sitting in my garage most of the time! I'm just being honest here to avoid complications. If you would like to setup a time to come by and have cash in hand, I will gladly show it to you and we can go on a test drive.

Also, for serious out of town buyers who want the vehicle shipped I can provide videos as required or additional specific pictures.

A car writer's year in new vehicles [w/video]

Thu, Dec 18 2014

Christmas is only a week away. The New Year is just around the corner. As 2014 draws to a close, I'm not the only one taking stock of the year that's we're almost shut of. Depending on who you are or what you do, the end of the year can bring to mind tax bills, school semesters or scheduling dental appointments. For me, for the last eight or nine years, at least a small part of this transitory time is occupied with recalling the cars I've driven over the preceding 12 months. Since I started writing about and reviewing cars in 2006, I've done an uneven job of tracking every vehicle I've been in, each year. Last year I made a resolution to be better about it, and the result is a spreadsheet with model names, dates, notes and some basic facts and figures. Armed with this basic data and a yen for year-end stories, I figured it would be interesting to parse the figures and quantify my year in cars in a way I'd never done before. The results are, well, they're a little bizarre, honestly. And I think they'll affect how I approach this gig in 2015. {C} My tally for the year is 68 cars, as of this writing. Before the calendar flips to 2015 it'll be as high as 73. Let me give you a tiny bit of background about how automotive journalists typically get cars to test. There are basically two pools of vehicles I drive on a regular basis: media fleet vehicles and those available on "first drive" programs. The latter group is pretty self-explanatory. Journalists are gathered in one location (sometimes local, sometimes far-flung) with a new model(s), there's usually a day of driving, then we report back to you with our impressions. Media fleet vehicles are different. These are distributed to publications and individual journalists far and wide, and the test period goes from a few days to a week or more. Whereas first drives almost always result in a piece of review content, fleet loans only sometimes do. Other times they serve to give context about brands, segments, technology and the like, to editors and writers. So, adding up the loans I've had out of the press fleet and things I've driven at events, my tally for the year is 68 cars, as of this writing. Before the calendar flips to 2015, it'll be as high as 73. At one of the buff books like Car and Driver or Motor Trend, reviewers might rotate through five cars a week, or more. I know that number sounds high, but as best I can tell, it's pretty average for the full-time professionals in this business.

Honda, Nissan, and Toyota expand Takata recall by millions worldwide

Wed, May 13 2015

Honda, Nissan, and Toyota are expanding their global Takata airbag inflator recalls to cover millions of additional vehicles. Toyota alone is adding about 5 million vehicles to its campaign globally, and over 600,000 of those are in the US, according to Automotive News. Nissan's expansion includes an estimated 1.56 million cars worldwide, including about 326,000 in North America, but the exact models from the company are not yet known. According to Automotive News, Honda has also announced plans to increase the scope of its campaign but hasn't yet disclosed specific models, total numbers, or their location. Company spokesperson Chris Martin tells Autoblog that none of these vehicles are in the US, though. In the US, Toyota is replacing the driver's side front inflators on 160,000 examples of the 2004 and 2005 RAV4 nationwide. It's also swapping out the front passenger side parts for 177,000 units of the 2003 and 2004 Tundra (pictured above) and 2004 Sequoia. The automaker is also expanding its regional recalls in high-humidity areas to include the passenger-side inflators of 300,000 more vehicles. In total, the affected models are 2005-2007 model-year Corolla, Matrix, Sequoia, and Lexus SC; plus the 2005-2006 Tundra is included, as well. All of the states that are covered by this campaign are listed in Toyota's announcement, below. In a statement to Autoblog, Nissan said that it's currently working with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration on this campaign. "We expect to have a more formal statement and additional information by Friday, May 15," the company said. TOYOTA EXPANDS TAKATA AIRBAG SAFETY RECALLS TORRANCE, Calif., May 12, 2015 – Toyota Motor Sales, U.S.A., Inc. today announced that it is expanding its recalls involving Takata air bag inflators. First, Toyota will conduct a recall to replace Takata-supplied driver front airbag inflators on approximately 160,000 model year 2004 and 2005 RAV4 sport utility vehicles. The inflators could potentially be susceptible to rupture when deployed in a crash, increasing the risk of injury to vehicle occupants. For similar reasons, Toyota will expand two existing recalls for Takata-supplied front passenger airbag inflators, namely: Toyota's nationwide recall launched in April 2013 will expand to include approximately an additional 177,000 model year 2003-2004 Tundra and model year 2004 Sequoia vehicles.

Honda planning sub-NSX S2000 successor

Tue, 13 May 2014

Nine years separated the arrival of the original Acura NSX and the Honda S2000. By that time, the NSX was closer to the end of its fifteen-year production cycle than it was to its beginning. The latest word has it that not only is Honda planning a successor to the S2000, but it's not about to wait that long after the new NSX arrives before it's rolled out.
While the S2000 was a front-mid-engined roadster, its successor will, according to the latest from Auto Express (which we are taking with a grain of salt), be a mid-engined coupe - closer, in other words, to the NSX than the S2000. Power would come from a more potent version of the 2.0-liter turbo four developed for the upcoming new Civic Type R, possibly as part of a hybrid system derived from Honda's upcoming Formula One powertain to develop over 400 horsepower.
Whether the new sports car would revive the S2000 nameplate, and whether it would wear the Honda or Acura badge in the United States, remain to be seen. As does its potential production site: while the previous S2000 was built at the same Takanezawa plant in Tochigi as the original NSX, the new NSX will be built at the new Performance Manufacturing Center in Marysville, Ohio. The new S660 roadster, meanwhile, is set to be assembled at the same Yachiyo plant in Yokkaichi as the original Honda Beat.
