1996 Honda Civic Dx Hatchback Silver 86k Original Miles!! on 2040-cars
Bush, Louisiana, United States
|
SELLING MY AWESOME CAR SYLVIA!! Sylvia is a 1996 Honda Civic DX with
only 86k original miles. She is a super peppy fun to drive 5 speed
manual transmission. I love her very much and will be sad to see her go.
WHY I AM SELLING HER: I commute two hours a day 3 to 4 days a week and
just wanted something newer and more comfortable. The biggest downside
to Sylv is that she has NO A/C. It's not broken, she just never had one
because she was born in San Francisco where A/C is not needed and it's kind of a necessity in Louisiana! There is
"air" that blows but it's not air conditioning. It's better than
nothing:) The heat on the other hand works great. I'll go ahead and
tell you everything else about her. PROS: She runs perfectly. I wouldn't
hesitate to drive her across country. I have been driving her to and from work (55 miles each way) several days a week with absolutely no issues. She has hardly any miles and
Civics are known to run forever too. I have had her for about a year and
a half. In that time I have put over 10k miles on her and she has never
been in the shop once except to get new tires and an alignment--two new back tires (only a few weeks old!) and the front ones are in fine shape too! She
gets amazing gas mileage. It costs $30 to fill the tank and that lasts
forever. The back seat folds down and you would not believe how much can
fit in there! I've had her oil changed regularly and her Louisiana safety inspection is
good through October. She is compact and can easily fit into crazy small
parking spaces too:) CONS: No A/C as I mentioned. Also, there is a
small dent on a front fender but it's no biggie. Only one of the car
speakers works but there is a cord that has come unattached that is
probably not a big deal to fix. Someone snapped off her antenna in the
the French Quarter but the coat hanger works fine:) There are a couple
small spots where the paint has chipped on the hood and some rust has
developed so it needs a little touch up there.
I bought Sylvia in New Orleans from a nice guy a year and a half ago. He had driven it from San Fran to use while he went to school at Tulane for a year, but was moving back so didn't need it anymore. It was his uncle's. His uncle had won it in a golf tournament when it was new in 1996 then it stayed in S.F. and was only an occasional driver hence the low miles. The original license plate was "ACE ONE":) She's lucky!! He was all bleary eyed and sad as I drove her away, as I will be when she sells. You will LOVE this car. She is special. |

Acura NSX bodywork to be sheathed in zirconium e-coat, fewer paint layers
Tue, 05 Aug 2014Automakers make halo cars to drum up excitement and show off what they can do, but there's more to it than that. Advanced platforms allow a company's engineers to experiment with all sorts of technologies. And in the case of the upcoming new Acura NSX, that includes new paint processes.
Speaking with Autoline in this video interview, Honda's North American Senior VP Jon Minto talked about an innovative zirconium e-coat which it's applying to the new NSX. Unlike some experimental paints developed for Formula One, however, this coating is not designed to minimize drag or enhance cooling: it's designed to be more environmentally friendly.
It's one of a few measures which Honda is implementing on the NSX before expanding it to more accessible models, along with another process that uses fewer coats to reduce energy consumption by 40 percent. Watch the interview with Autoline host John McElroy right here.
Refreshed 2014 Honda Civic Coupe to bow at SEMA
Fri, 25 Oct 2013Honda has announced plans to bring a refreshed, 2014 Honda Civic Coupe to the 2013 SEMA Show, set to kick off on November 5. Honda's struggles with the ninth-generation Civic have been widely publicized, and while the 2013 model year sedan has seen a significant overhaul, the two-door is now getting some additional enhancements for 2014.
Honda has released one teaser image of the Civic Si Coupe to go along with the announcement, but we can discern a few things. The Si Coupe now features a larger rear spoiler, along with a restyled, more aggressive rear bumper, complete with a diffuser. The taillights look smoked, and the wheels look larger than the current Si's alloys.
Besides those details, it looks like we'll be waiting until November 5 to see just what Honda has in store for the Civic. Take a look below for the full press release from Honda.
Honda to compete in seven Pike's Peak classes in 2014
Mon, 28 Apr 2014The Pikes Peak International Hill Climb is one of the greatest events on the international motorsports calendar. Its Unlimited class harkens back to the old days of racing, when teams built vehicles to be the fastest with whatever they had. Honda is returning to the event for 2014 for its second year as a sponsor and participant, and it's bringing some cool machines of its own.
The company is fielding seven entrants this year, which is somewhat smaller than last year. In 2013, it brought 11 factory-supported vehicles in 10 classes, including an insane Honda Odyssey with a 532-horsepower turbocharged V6 engine. There's no need to be too disappointed by the shorter list, though. Former 24 Hours of Le Mans-winner Romain Dumas is back piloting a Honda-powered Norma chassis up the hill in the Unlimited class. Dumas attempted to race the car last year, but it broke down during his run. Other competitors include an NSX (pictured above), Fit B-Spec and an S3700, which is an S2000 with a 3.7-liter V6 engine.
In its role as sponsor, Honda says it has also worked with the sanctioning body to add an AirFence safety barrier along some corners for the motorcycle and ATV riders. This year's Pikes Peak is being held on Sunday, June 29. Scroll down to read the full details about Honda's team and start getting excited for this year's running.
