Well, in a series of unfortunate events, I've decided to sell my 1994 Civic DX 5 Speed. I used this car for hypermiling the entire time I've had it and got 50 mpg or more most of the time, to 75-82 mpg on a few select trips.It's got 251,000 miles on it now. It's a DX so, manual steering, manual windows, manual door locks, etc.
But alas, it needs a motor now. Thing is, that's all it really needs. I put a ton of work into the car in the last year or so to make it very roadworthy but I think it's time for a new car. For those of you interested in swapping a motor this would be a perfect donor shell to do it. Essentially completely stock.
Non-smoker, Interior is very clean.
So, here goes.
The Good:
- Tires have a lot of tread left. Maybe 30,000 miles on them.
- New brake pads and rotors up front.
- New brake shoes in the back.
- New LF lower control arm (No accidents, bushing went).
- New clutch and Fidanza lightweight flywheel. (Maybe 15k on clutch and flywheel).
- New high capacity aluminum radiator, aftermarket high flow fan, upper and lower radiator hoses, heater hoses and a couple other miscellaneous coolant hoses (Maybe 15,000 miles on it) with Evans NPG coolant throughout and spring removed on radiator cap (Needs an engine though, so not like it matters... lol).
- Some eBay header the shop I worked at had laying around (old), fairly new hidden muffler with turndown tip.
- New Starter (Less than 1,000 miles on it, but if you can source a starter I'd like to return this one since I still have the receipt. If not, take it. ;D)
- MPGuino fuel computer installed in Civic SI gauge cluster.
- Large interior JDM fanboy rally mirror included with sale.
- Axles only 1 year old (Although I see one beginning to leak on the RF).
- Rebuilt original cylinder head with 30k since rebuild.
-There's barely any rust besides the typical rear 1/4 panel rust, which also isn't very bad. See pictures. There are holes in the rear 1/4 panels from where I had screws attaching rear wheel covers. These could be easily filled in as well. (Car needs a paint job anyway.) Underbody is fine. Rust hole forming on RF fender and various small rust spots forming here and there.
- Aftermarket head unit (albeit and old one).
- Cool early 1980's Civic/CRX hubcaps
- Full Size Spare
- OEM Antenna delete with interior antenna installed above windshield
I think that may cover the good. If you have any other questions, feel free to ask me.
The Bad:
- Needs a motor. Like definitely needs a motor. 30,000 miles ago, I saw white smoke coming out the tailpipe so I knew it needed a head gasket at least. Upon further inspection of the motor when disassembled, I noticed there was a lot of pitting in the block next to sleeve of cylinder 3 if I recall correctly but I said, "Screw it. Let's put a head gasket on and see what happens.". Converted to Evans NPG so I could run a 0 PSI cap which I figured would be less likely to put pressure on the weak area of the block and I was right. For 30,000 miles. Started misfiring for about 5 secs when starting up in the morning a couple weeks ago but then ran fine. Coolant was spewing in small amounts out of the overflow and getting this sticky carbon like stuff in it. I put a pressure cap on to see what would happen. Sure enough, the misfire got worse and I found a drop of coolant on the tip of the tailpipe. If I top off the coolant, the motor still runs fine with the 0 PSI cap on it, so you should be able to drive it wherever you're going home to without any overheating issues. I have one gallon of NPG left and if you need it for the ride home, you can have it.
- It may need a brake master cylinder. The pedal sinks a bit randomly, but there are no leaks on any of the lines at all. They're all in pretty good shape from what I remember. If you're hypermiling, you're going to be driving a bit of a ways behind people anyway, so it hasn't been enough of an issue for me to replace it.
- Could use some new speakers. The speakers are stock but the RF door speaker intermittently works. I've taken the door panel off and messed with it before, but to no avail. The LF speaker works but it's not very loud.
- Have heard a clunking noise in the front end for a while, but can't pinpoint source. No looseness in front end up or down, no sway bar end links to make noise. I'm assuming its the strut mounts as they are original.
- Hole in the carpet by the gas pedal, driver's seat tear.
- The paint. Many different shades of red. Many dings and scratches but overall not horrendous. A paint job would make it look great. Once again, there are holes in the rear 1/4 panels from where I had screws attaching rear wheel covers and some on the front fenders. These could be easily filled in as well although I'd replace the front fenders if it were me. (Car needs a paint job anyway.) Underbody is fine. Rust hole forming on RF fender and various small rust spots forming here and there.
I think that about covers the bad. Once again, any more questions, I'll be happy to answer.

Honda slaps Legend name on JDM Acura RLX
Mon, 10 Nov 2014It's been eighteen years since we last saw the Legend nameplate in Acura showrooms here in the US, but in Japan it's still very much alive as Honda's flagship sedan. And now the Japanese automaker has revealed the latest generation.
Set to go on sale across Japan on January 22 - 30 years since the nameplate was introduced - the new Honda Legend is essentially the same model we already know in the States as the new Acura RLX. Only by "essentially," we mean exactly. It is the RLX, only with Honda badges instead of Acura ones. The manufacturer hasn't even changed the grille or the wheels.
Although the RLX is being offered Stateside in two forms, the new JDM Honda Legend will only come in one form, equivalent to our Sport Hybrid, with Super Handling All-Wheel Drive and a hybrid powertrain pairing a 3.5-liter V6 to a seven-speed dual clutch transmission with integrated electric motor. For the privilege of owning the most luxurious car Honda makes, Japanese customers will have to pony up ¥6,800,000 - which about adds up to $59,950 we'd pay for an RLX Sport Hybrid.
The cars that won't live to see 2015 [w/video]
Wed, 23 Jul 2014Every year in the fast-paced automotive industry brings new models, but it also spells the end for some that have been less successful. This year will be no exception.
Japan's automakers make up the bulk of the list of discontinued models for the 2015 model year: Acura is replacing the TL and TSX with the new TLX sedan, Honda is bidding farewell to the Fit EV as the new Fit hatchback takes its place, and Nissan is saying goodbye to both the Cube and Murano CrossCabriolet. Both the Nissan Maxima and Mazda2 exit stage left before their upcoming replacements arrive, while Toyota is terminating the RAV4 EV and FJ Cruiser as well as the Scion xD, and Lexus IS C and IS F that are being effectively replaced by the new RC. Meanwhile Infiniti is finally discontinuing the G37 that was already replaced by the newer Q50.
From our own domestic automakers, Cadillac discontinues the CTS-V sedan and wagon as the new CTS rolls in, Chevy is canceling the mild-hybrid Eco versions of the Malibu and Impala sedans, and Chrysler is killing off the 200 convertible as the new 200 sedan arrives.
Honda releases H2O brand bottled water to promote FCX Clarity
Thu, May 15 2014Remember when Hollywood stars Diane Kruger (Inglourious Basterds) and Joshua Jackson (Fringe) took a Mercedes-Benz B-Class F-Cell into Death Valley and "survived" by drinking water from the car's tailpipe? Honda has taken that idea into movie theaters in Australia. The idea, but not fuel cell water itself. Honda has created a bottled water brande called H2O, and it's meant to promote the hydrogen-powered Honda FCX Clarity as part of Honda's "clever thinking" campaign. The headline message, just as it was for Mercedes, is that a hydrogen fuel cell car emits nothing but water vapor, which is actually safe to drink. To give movie fans a hands-on experience, Honda Australia filled a number of Palace Cinemas movie theaters with free disposable bottles of H2O water. Of course, since there are only a handful of FCX Clarity vehicles in the world today and it would take a lot of driving to fill up that many bottles, Honda admits that, "if you're holding a bottle of our specially produced H2O water in your hand right now, you've been drinking plain old spring water. If you want to taste the real thing, you'll have to travel to California, Japan or the UK where the FCX is currently available." Of course, why anyone would want to associate themselves with the unending waste that is bottle water, a product that has not proven itself to be any better than good tap water, is beyond us. But that's what Honda is doing, as you can see in the promotional video about the stunt below. This content is hosted by a third party. To view it, please update your privacy preferences.
