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

US $6,000.00
Year:1995 Mileage:176200

 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...

Tons of mods:

*eBay Polished Stainless 4/2/1 Header
*Full 2.5" 304SS Mandrel bent exhaust including 14" resonator, HushPower High Flow Cat, and OBX DUNK Muffler with 4.5" angled tip

*Heated front seats (Driver and Passenger) Brand New eBay kit.
*JDM OE Center arm rest ($90.00)
*Modified Front shifter console to accept the Accord shifter assembly and still keeps the cup holders
--Note the cup holder door will not latch closed because of the necessary modification for it to fit. So the cup holder is always in the open position.
*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
*Interior sound deadening including HushMat in the cabin floor pan, and Tar/Foil in the trunk.

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...

Honda, Kawasaki, Suzuki, Yamaha to make swappable motorcycle batteries

Fri, Mar 26 2021

Just as electric cars are becoming ever more common, the alternative propulsion system is starting to make headway in the motorcycle sphere. Companies such as Harley-Davidson and Zero already have electric models on sale, but other established brands are preparing for the electric future. Among them are the four big Japanese bike builders (Honda, Kawasaki, Suzuki and Yamaha) who have a plan to improve electric bike adoption, and make their bikes very appealing. The four companies created an organization back in April 2019 for this sort of purpose called the Swappable Battery Consortium for Electric Motorcycles. And the group has now announced that the manufacturers have agreed on the specifications for motorcycle batteries that can be interchanged among each company's motorcycles. So if you have a Suzuki, you can use a Honda battery, or vice versa. This idea presents quite a few interesting possibilities. The manufacturers could sell bikes with or without batteries, since you might already have a battery from your previous bike, or just another one you own, so you wouldn't have to shell out to buy an entirely new battery. If, for whatever reason, you needed a replacement battery, it should be easy to get one, since the same type would support bikes from a variety of manufacturers. The pipe dream of battery swapping stations might even be feasible because of the standardization and support. And having the batteries relatively easy to remove could be good for apartment dwellers, since they might be able to bring a battery inside to charge. The manufacturers haven't said exactly what the specifications are for these interchangeable batteries, nor when they'll be implemented. But we'll be eagerly awaiting more information in the future.

Honda MC-? prototype

Thu, 02 Jan 2014

Honda is less an automaker, it has been said, and more of a motor company that builds vehicles into which to put its engines. That sort of perspective goes a long way towards explaining the mind-boggling diversity of the company's product lineup. The Japanese industrial giant makes lawnmowers, marine engines, robots... even jet aircraft. It's also one of only a handful of companies that makes both cars and motorbikes. We recently had the chance to sample something that falls in between.
It's called MC-β - shorthand for Micro Commuter Beta, which already tells you it's Honda's second stab at the formula. The first Micro Commuter prototype was announced a year prior and, though marginally larger, struck us as a more complete product than its successor. But it'll likely still be a while before the formula is perfected and put into production, and even then it isn't likely to find its way any time soon to Honda's American showrooms - whether those showrooms are selling cars, bikes or ride-on mowers.

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.
