For sale is a cypress green 1996 Honda Civic LX sedan. This car has been totally rebuilt and turbocharged with less than 7,000 miles on most everything. Body has about 219,000 miles. I have been putting my heart and soul (along with blood and tears) into this build, but I'm at a point in life where I don't have time for this hobby and I'd like to buy a house.
The list of things done to this car is lengthy: Cylinder Head: 97 EX VTEC head (VTEC is all wired and pinned to the ECU, but doesn't work because the computer wasn't programmed for it) Supertech valve springs new OEM Honda valve stem seals ARP head studs Black wrinkle painted valve cover All new Honda OEM gaskets Engine Block: 96 LX block Bored over to 75.5mm stock sleeves 75.5mm YCP Vitara pistons Custom length forged rods from RC Autoworks (to bring compression ratio up to approx. 8.5:1) Custom ground block to allow clearance for rods ARP rod bolts Polished crankshaft ACL Race main and rod bearings All new Honda OEM gaskets Gates Racing timing belt New Honda OEM water pump New Honda OEM timing belt tensioner Steel oil pan with welded -10 AN turbo oil return fitting Magnetic oil drain plug Detergent free 30wt oil used for proper break-in procedure, then only Mobil 1 full synthetic 5w30 oil used D16Y8 intake manifold port-matched to integra LS 60mm throttle body (uses the LS throttle body gasket) Hondata thermal intake manifold gasket (reduces intake air temps) Speedfactory 4 bar map sensor Lancer Evolution 560cc fuel injectors with adapter harness and resistor box (no wiring hacks) Walbro 255 fuel pump Ebay 2.5" aluminum intercooler piping kit with silicone couplers and T bolt clamps Lancer Evolution front mount intercooler Genuine HKS blow-off valve (sounds awesome) New Precision 5431 MFS turbocharger • MFS (Machined From Solid) 54mm inducer compressor wheel • "E" compressor cover 3.0" inlet/2.0" outlet • 57mm exducer T31, 76 trim turbine wheel • Turbine housing: - T3 .63 A/R with 5 bolt discharge (without wastegate hole) • 360° journal bearing system Custom cold-air intake in driver's wheel well Heat wrapped Ramhorn exhaust manifold Tial 38mm Wastegate (15 PSI spring) recirculated into exhaust (no annoying loud wastegate) 2.5" V band exhaust with upstream O2 sensor and Aem UEGO wideband O2 sensor 2.5" stainless exhaust turbo-back NO Catalytic convertor (car will not pass emissions, it has been converted to OBD I) Cheap Ebay axle-back muffler actually sounds great, not loud or raspy at all Engine Management: OBD I PO6 ECU from Phearable.net Converted to a VTEC computer VTEC is wired in and pinned to the Ecu harness (Vtec does not work due to the ECU program) OBD II to OBD I conversion harness Tuned on Chrome On 93 octane by Beeyond Engineering Tuned with boost leak and bad wastegate- maxxed out at 250whp @ 18 PSI Changed to Tial wastegate, fixed vacuum/boost leak, and did mini-me swap (VTEC head) since then WITHOUT getting re-tuned. Fuel cut is at 18PSI (cannot go higher) With a new tune this setup can easily hit 350 HP Transmission: Stage 4 Competition Clutch Stock flywheel Transmission has had no work done besides all new Honda OEM external oil seals And short-throw shifter Slight occasional grind has just started into third (like last 500 miles and doesn't happen all the time, just trying to be honest) seems like it happened when I switched from Royal purple to Mobil 1 gear lube. Maybe a switch back is the cure My next project would be an MFactory limited slip differential and rebuild the transmission, but I do not have the time or funds for that at this point in my life. Tires do spin in second gear, it's cool, but traction is speed! Axles are Newer stock replacements, maybe 30,000 miles on them Tires are Falcon Azenis with a lot of tread left Wheels are QT Alloys 16" stripped, primed and painted metallic black by me (paint is chipping, doesn't look awful) Black locking lug nuts Also have 4 original steelies with hubcaps (tires are not good) Suspension/brakes: New Koni shocks Tein S tech lowering springs (perfect drop, Perfect Ride) All polyurethane bushings except rear trailing arm and rear compensator arm, which are New OEM Honda bushings Civic SI rear sway bar All 4 New Timken wheel bearings New slotted/drilled front rotors New front upper control arms, all new ball joints Tie rods are new, but the boots are already cracked (kind of upset about that) may need to be replaced soon Interior: White faced gauges with LED lighting Autometer Phantom boost and mechanical oil pressure gauge (steel braided -3an oil line doesn't leak) mounted in gauge bezel AEM UEGO wideband white faced gauge in single pod on A-pillar Blitz turbo timer installed in coin pocket HDI electronic boost controller has a high and low setting that can be adjusted from inside the cabin electronically. It controls a MAC valve in the engine bay that regulates the pressure the wastegate sees Black and tan interior plastic pieces (not painted, actual OEM Honda) RSX type S Titanium (tan) leather front seats custom fitted to the civic bolt locations All airbags still intact and hooked up Stock tan cloth rear seats Aftermarket speakers in front doors and rear deck NO stereo, an adapter harness is already wired in as well as wiring for a subwoofer in the trunk NO cruise control NO air conditioning "rattler" brand aftermarket keyless entry Passenger front power door lock doesn't work Slight squeaking noise from rear drums (new shoes will be included, but not installed) Type R polyurethane black front lip M3 style side mirrors with LED arrow blinkers, painted to match the car Projector headlights with LED halo and the inside painted to match the car Body isn't perfect, dents on driver's side rear door and dents on passenger's front door (ill try to show this in the pictures) Windshield has a crack OEM rear spoiler was installed and has a little clear coat peeling I like to say "all go and no show" This car still averages 30 MPG with "spirited" driving!! Local test drives for SERIOUS buyer's only with me or my father ONLY, I've learned that lesson. Thanks for looking, Message me (Adam) for more info or to set up a time to view the car. Please keep in mind, I live in Oconomowoc and I also work 3pm-11pm weekdays, so mornings will be the best bet Deposit is due immediately at auction end, and full payment will be expected within 7 days |

Honda Civic Type R Concept to hatch in Geneva
Wed, 12 Feb 2014As if the Geneva Motor Show isn't exciting enough, now we have word that a new version of a certain iconic Japanese hot hatch will make an appearance there in a few weeks time. Honda has announced that its Civic Type R Concept will be revealed during the show's media days, which take place March 4 and 5.
Since this is Honda we're talking about, we should point out that the "Concept" part of the Civic Type R's name is usually a bit of a misnomer. For the past few years, the Japanese automaker has made a habit of attaching "Concept" to the end of several near-production models in the name of drumming up auto show excitement (see Exhibits A, B, C, D and E). So really, this is almost certainly the next Civic Type R, a car we've kind of already driven.
The latter car was a "development" model, but we aren't expecting a lot to change between it and the production model. As previously reported, a 2.0-liter, turbocharged engine should deliver north of 280 horsepower to the front wheels via a six-speed gearbox. Have a look up top at the sole image of the hot Civic released by Honda, and then scroll down for the official press release.
2014 Honda Civic Coupe
Wed, 20 Nov 2013Honda lifted the covers off its refreshed Civic Coupe at SEMA earlier this month, showing off its updated styling and redesigned 18-inch wheels, but didn't unveil its interior or mechanical upgrades until today at the LA Auto Show. Eager to show off its latest arrival, Honda allowed me to check out and drive the new coupe a few weeks ago.
The interior, which was hidden beneath heavily tinted glass at SEMA, features new colors, upgraded seating materials and new technology. The interior themes are now more color coordinated and feature upgraded Tricot soft weave. Black is the standard interior color, with a choice of black or gray seats. A new display audio system is also found on the EX/EX-L trims. The seven-inch capacitive-touch screen, with a matte finish to reduce the annoyance of greasy fingerprint marks, allows users to not only tap once for a function, but to double-tap, slide, flick and pinch - as if they are using a familiar smartphone or tablet. The new infotainment interface not only accepts USB and Bluetooth data exchange, but has also been configured with HDMI for future upgrades. Some of you may have also noticed the exterior mirrors on the SEMA car, as they were fitted with cameras for Honda's blind spot minimizing Lanewatch system. It is now offered on the Civic Coupe for EX trims and above.
Mechanically, the new Civic Coupe rides on an upgraded suspension system that features revised spring rates (front up by four percent, rear up by three percent), a stiffer rear stabilizer (up by 25 percent) and larger 16-inch wheels (wearing 205/55R16 tires). The engineering objective was to improve handling and responsiveness while flattening cornering. According to Honda, the tweaks should give the Civic Coupe better linear steering feel than either the Hyundai Elantra or the Ford Focus.
NHTSA investigating 343,000 Honda Odyssey minivans
Sat, 06 Jul 2013The recall bug could strike Honda again as the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has opened another investigation concerning the Odyssey minivan. Honda has already recalled 59,000 Odysseys from the 2012 and 2013 model years due to a shift interlock issue, and another 320,000 of the minivans from 2003-04 are being investigated for faulty airbags. Now, TheDetroitBureau.com is reporting that NHTSA is taking a look at the 2007-08 Odyssey for a problem associated with the brakes.
This investigation reportedly includes 343,000 Odysseys that could be suffering from an unexpected application of the brakes. According to the article, at least 22 people have reported such an issue, and in five cases, dealers found a trouble code associated with the steering angle sensor - part of the anti-lock brake and stability control systems. There is still no indication as to whether or not this will become a recall, but Honda has already recalled more than 1.8 million units this year.
