1995 Honda Civic Dx With H23a Dohc Vtec Swap on 2040-cars

 I am selling my 1995 Honda Civic DX coupe
The chassis has around 176000 miles on it.

I have several extra parts for the car. Fans, door panels from an EX, bolts, wiring, etc. which you are welcome to if you want them.

This car does have a rebuilt salvage title. I purchased it from a junkyard 10 years ago. It was Totaled by the insurance company because of theft. The front fenders, front bumper, hood, and seats and trim were stolen out of it. There was no collision. When I bought the car the odometer said 145514. There is a mistake on the Title where a previous inspection station switched the odo numbers before I bought it. So the title flags a possible roll back. It didn't have a roll back. the guy just wasn't very good at his job. Now the odo says 28k(and counting), but it is exempt now, so...

*Black Carpet (8/10) There is some wear on the driver side where your heals rest while driving. But it is under the floor mat, so....
*Black and Grey interior in extremely good condition (The A-Pillar on the driver side has holes drilled in it for an autometer 3-pod pillar overlay with. (I will be including the gauges as well. The tachometer is broken. But the car has stock tach.
*AC EL Dash Gauges
*RCA cords are already run under the carpet for a 2nd amp if you decide to amplify door speakers/add rear speakers etc.
*Rota Circuit8 Bronze Gunmetal Wheels with Hancook Ventus 205/50 R15 on the front and Kumho Ecsta 195/55 R15 on the Back

The not so good:
No power steering.
No windshield washer system.
Right front CV axle is popping when you turn.
Front end paint repair was done by me. So there are some spots that could use professional attention.
Front bumper is OE flat black primed.

Overall:
This is a really nice car. For a 20 year old Honda Civic DX, I doubt you will find a cleaner, nicer ride. A complete, ready to enjoy vehicle that has both performance and luxuries like A/C and a Clean body with new Paint is rare in this scene. This is not a riced out, hellaflush, slammed vehicle. It is drivable daily on all roads, has a lot of on hand power, but does not sacrifice comfort while it does it. I've done everything to make this civic, the car that I dreamed of 11 years ago, and I wasn't going to stop till I saw it through. I have 5 cars, and I am working on a rear wheel drive project now, this car was my dream car a long time ago, I really just want someone to enjoy it. I have moved on and developed different tastes in cars, So now it is ready for YOU! As with any used car sale you understand that this is a used car and I offer no warranty. As far as I know this is a really nice Civic right now, ready for someone to love. Over $14K invested...

NSX Concept-GT is the world's hottest way to boil water

Sat, 05 Oct 2013

The Honda NSX Concept-GT is one sexy machine, and it looks to be a very effective tool on a race circuit. But Honda's latest web spot leads us to believe that it also can be used to make tea.
In the video, the racecar is hooked up to an apparatus that uses tubing to harness the energy from the car's 500-horsepower hybrid drive system, using it to boil water. The novel tea-making technique reminds us a bit of a couple other inventive Honda commercials, namely Hands and Cog.
Watch the NSX ad below, and be sure to turn the sound up to hear that glorious engine note.

Next Honda Ridgeline to eschew weird visuals, go mainstream?

Wed, 08 Oct 2014

Last year, Honda gave us the first furtive glance at the next-generation Ridgeline with a shadowy photo of it in profile (above), and it promised that the pickup would "come to market in less than two years." That would have put the truck on track for a 2015 debut, but the automaker hasn't said anything more officially about the new model since then.
A new report from USA Today might shed some new light on the mysterious model. It claims that the next Ridgeline has more conventional pickup styling than the original model in a bid to conquest some buyers. You can get that feeling from the sketch, which appears to showing something far more traditional than the unorthodox original Ridgeline, whose odd tapering bedsides terminated in a double-hinged tailgate.
USA Today goes on to claim that the new Ridgeline will go on sale around late 2015 or early 2016. That's a bit later than expected, but fits with an earlier rumor.

2014 Honda Civic priced from $18,190*, new CVT boosts city mpg

Thu, 05 Dec 2013

For the third consecutive model year, Honda has given its Civic lineup some substantial improvements, and with the 2014 Civic Coupe and Sedan going on sale this week, the automaker has released pricing and fuel economy numbers for its gas and non-Si models. Honda has not released any images of the 2014 Civic Sedan yet, but we got our first look at the updated Coupe last month at SEMA.
Aside from styling changes introduced on the 2013 Sedan being carried over to the 2014 Coupe, the biggest update to all 2014 Civics might be the addition of the continuously variable transmission (CVT). Fuel economy figures carry over for cars with the manual transmission, but models swapping the previous five-speed automatic for the new CVT are seeing a boost in city fuel economy by 2 mpg helping the Civic max out at 31 mpg city for the fuel-miser HF trim level.
In terms of pricing, the 2014 Civic is getting a modest price hike of $225 for the base LX models, which now start at $18,190* for the Coupe and $18,390* for the Sedan (*not including $790 for destination charges). The sedan-only HF trim level is up $175, there's a $275 price increase for the EX and EX-L Coupe and EX Sedan models and an extra $475 has been tacked on to the EX-L Sedan.
