1997 Green Civic 4dr Sedan Sohc Vtec Manual on 2040-cars
Montclair, New Jersey, United States
|
This is a great car, I've had it since it had 97k
miles and I am the third owner. I’ve always been a Honda fan, got the bug and
did some mild modifications to her. The oil was always changed between 3K and
3.5K miles with 5W-30 synthetic and a good oil filter since I purchased the
car.
She’s been really good to me and never left me stranded. The car is quick, but not fast; she handles great and is a blast to drive on the street. The engine still runs very clean and has good compression. The compression ratio is high and the car runs on PREMIUM right now and gets mid 30’s in MPG on the highway. I can retard the cam and Ignition timing and raise the fuel pressure to run on regular if needed. Up until February of this year, the body was in great shape for its age; I bought a new car and was using the Civic as my main transportation to and from work. The new car went in the garage and the Civic was parked on the street. The car was hit (side swiped) and bumped several times and I don’t have the time to do the work (and don’t want to throw money away….as she’ll probably get hit again) and need to sell. All of the major damage, like the fender and door are pictured. The car now lives out of harms way, so no more body damage will occur. I still drive her about once a week when I’m in the area. The car would make a great daily beater, but also a great project as the body is straight and it has a host of newer suspension components. The exhaust is aggressive and deep; it is tame at light to half throttle, but gets loud when you get on it. Engine,
Transmission & Exhaust modifications: Mini-me (D16Y8 VTEC head on D16Y7 block) with a rebuilt cylinder head and NEW OEM Head gasket and head bolts at 107,000 miles AEM air filter with velocity stack and 3" intake pipe into an S2000 throttle body and Blox intake manifold 240cc EX injectors and a Blox fuel pressure regulator on an Edelbrock fuel rail Airmass header to a 2.25" Vibrant SS core Catalytic converter out to a 2.36" SS Top Fuel 0-1000 cat-back AEM cam gear advanced 2 degrees Civic VX oil cooler with a Blox sandwich adapter for the oil gauges 97 EX OBD2a ECU and engine wire harness and an OBD1 air temp sensor with adapter harness Civic EX sedan/coupe transmission (shorter gears) with a B&M Edge shifter Suspension: All bushings, ball joints, springs, shocks, struts, hats, sway bar links, wheel bearings, tie rods, pads, shoes, rotors, and drums replaced around 150,000 miles; except for performance parts, all OEM Honda parts Koni SRT.T shocks and struts in H&R OE Sport springs (about .75" drop) 19mm Del-Sol rear sway bar with custom SS end link adapters Hardrace rear upper arms (rear camber adjusters) PasswordJDM rear lower tie bar, Carbing front lower tie bar, and Skunk2 front upper tie bar Interior and electronics: Integra seats S2000 steering wheel with airbag and cruise control switch Custom CRV gauges and amber dash lights Shift-I shift light integrated into cluster AEM air-fuel ratio, Prosport oil and fuel pressure, and SPA 2 in 1 oil and water temperature gauges Field's SFC-VTEC Controller (not currently wired in) Clarion USB/AUX/CD/radio head unit Exterior: Gunmetal replacement headlights ESUSE (glass) OEM fog lights OEM mud guards Coupe grille The good: The alternator was replaced with a genuine Denso unit (made in Japan, rebuilt in USA) around 180K miles The steering rack was replaced with a rebuilt unit around 170K miles The timing belt, water pump, front main seal and cam seal replaced at 209,189 miles The bad: The car needs front brake pads and rotors, a flush, and new brake lines. It currently has braided stainless lines and the silicon coating is cracked; the brakes work just fine now but need to be done soon The oil pan leaks a little, the engine looses about 4-6oz every month, it drips very slowly, you can not watch it drip, but the oil pan is coated in oil The headliner is sagging and needs to be reupholstered The trunk leaks a little when it rains; I replaced the outer tail light seals (on the quarter panels) which did not solve the problem; I have the inner taillight seals, but have not installed them I am a smoker, there are some burn holes and the carpet has always had a bad coffee stain in the middle of the rear seat since I bought it It has normal old Honda rust and the recent body damage as evidenced in the pictures The cruise control hasn’t worked for about a year and a half; I think it’s the actuator The drivers’ side rear window motor has burnt out; I
have the replacement but haven’t put it in A couple of lights on the dash are out I have a huge file of parts receipts and service records. I can drop the car off locally in North Jersey (let me know where), but otherwise transportation is up to you. The car is currently insured, inspected and registered, so test driving is possible. Mileage will go up slightly, as I am still driving it occasionally. |

Honda, Hyundai top car residual value / depreciation awards list
Thu, Nov 18 2021J.D. Power announced its 2022 U.S. ALG Residual Value awards Thursday, with Honda and Hyundai topping the charts at three models apiece in the industry-standard study. The term "residual" is an industry projection of how well a car will hold its resale value three years from the original purchase date – a key metric in calculating lease costs and projecting new-car depreciation. Award winners included several enthusiast-friendly options, including the BMW 2 Series, Dodge Charger, Subaru WRX, Mercedes-AMG GT and Toyota Tacoma. Even the Ford Bronco was recognized, beating out the Jeep Wrangler in the Off-Road Utility segment. That may seem odd given the car's issue-plagued launch, but scarcity apparently trumps quality control issues over the longer term. Here's a scrolling complete list of winners broken down by segment: “Accurately forecasting residual values in the auto industry is a key factor in assessing an estimated $225 billion lease portfolio of vehicles in the United States,” said ALG VP Eric Lyman in the company's announcement. "The brands and vehicle models that rise to the top demonstrate that they score well across the award programÂ’s criteria, including manufacturersÂ’ superior design and quality." ALG looks at several factors to determine future value, which is especially tricky with new models. For 2022, 16 different brands were recognized across 29 segments. Behind Honda and Hyundai, Audi, Kia, Mercedes-Benz, Land Rover and Subaru all managed to chart with two different models. Here's the rundown of those who won in more than one category: Honda Civic Honda Passport Honda Odyssey Hyundai Accent Hyundai Kona Hyundai Kona EV Audi A6 Allroad Audi Q3 Kia K5 Kia Telluride Land Rover Range Rover Velar Land Rover Discovery Mercedes-AMG GT 4-Door Mercedes-Benz Metris: Subaru  WRX and Subaru Forester Toyota Tacoma Toyota Tundra "The award process consists of evaluating 284 models through analysis of used-vehicle performance, brand outlook and product competitiveness," the announcement said. "Eligibility for a brand award requires a manufacturer to have model entries in at least four different segments. To account for differences across trim levels, model averages are weighted based on percentage share relative to the entire model line."  Audi Honda Hyundai Kia Land Rover Mercedes-Benz Subaru Toyota
Honda scores big in Automobile Advertising of the Year Awards [w/videos]
Wed, 15 Jan 2014This year the Detroit Auto Show didn't just celebrate the automobile, it celebrated how we find out about the automobile, too. Partnering The One Club, this year introduced the 2014 One Show Automobile Advertising of the Year Award to Cobo Hall, celebrating winners in five different categories of advertising: broadcast television, online, interactive, experiential, and print/outdoor. Winners in those categories were judged by 50 creative directors and journalists, while a Public Choice category was chosen from among nearly 20,000 online votes.
Honda walked off with three of the six awards, its Hands spot taking Broadcast honors, its Sound of Honda getting the Online category and Illusions winning Public Choice. Hyundai made the grade in Interactive with Driveway Decision Maker, Fiat captured Print/Outdoor with its "Letters" ad, and Toyota's Tundra Endeavor Campaign spot and BMW's A Window into the Near Future were co-winners for Experiential.
You can watch all of the press release and winning videos below or check out all of the finalists, announced last month, for a refresher.
Honda reveals next-gen Fit Hybrid
Fri, 19 Jul 2013Psst! Remember late last month when we showed you those Japanese magazine scans purporting to show the next Honda Fit? The ones with the markedly more aggressive snout and Cuisinart-blade alloys? Yup, they were the real deal, but they weren't the standard model, they were images of the new Hybrid. We know this because Honda has just released a handful of images and some details on its forthcoming gas-electric hatchback, and the images line up perfectly.
The big story for the third-generation Fit Hybrid will be the fuel economy, naturally. Honda says it has achieved economy ratings of 36.4 kilometers per liter - 86 miles per gallon - on its home-market cycle, highest among all hybrid models in Japan and a 35-percent improvement over the current Fit Hybrid, a model not sold in the US.
