2001 Honda Civic LX 1.7L, 5 SPD manual transmission with 168,156 miles. This car has been well maintained. Recently, the check engine light became illuminated so I changed the upstream O2 sensor. I later discovered that it was the downstream O2 sensor. So, I replaced the downstream sensor as well. In addition, when I was replacing the brake pads recently I noticed that the lower control arm bushings were totally blown out on both sides of the car. So, I replaced the lower control arms, lower ball joints, and sway bar links on both sides (see pictures). Of note, the lower ball joints were professionally pressed in at my local shop. I also decided to replace both front brake rotors with new Bendix brake rotors. Also, the timing belt and water pump was changed at around 125,000 miles. The battery is about a year old Sears Diehard. When I replaced the battery, last year I also replaced the alternator. The spark plugs were replaced with new NGK plugs last month. So, this car is driving like a new car right now and feels very good. I also recently purchased outer tie rods for both sides. However, the old tie rods appear to still be in good condition. I will provide the new tie rods to the winning bidder. I would recommend getting an alignment once the outer tie rods are done. The front tires are new BF Goodrich Traction TA 185-65-14. The rear tires are also BF Goodrich Traction TA tires with about 60% tread life left. The Motegi wheels were purchased at Sears and are in good condition with some curb rash. The transmission and clutch are working well. The only issue is that for some odd reason, the gears feel harder to shift in colder weather. It seems to be a common issue with Hondas. I had a shop check it out and all is well. There are some scratches, 1 area where some rust has started and the right rear quarter panel got dinged in a parking lot a few months ago (see pictures). All of these issues are merely cosmetic and I attempted to fix the right rear quarter panel by pushing it out from inside the trunk. There is only a slight separation between the quarter panel and the rear bumper cover which is hardly noticeable. I also recently reconditioned the headlights so that's why they look so good in the pictures. Of note, the Yakima roof rack is not included. I'm only selling because I recently purchased a 2006 Scion TC and I have too many cars right now. I am the second owner and purchased it in June 2009. I have receipts for all wok done. This is a very reliable car and has always started as long as I have owned it. The only time it didn't start is when I changed the battery a year ago. This is a no reserve auction. Questions are welcomed.

'Car Wars' says Ford, Honda to pick up share, Fiat-Chrysler ambitions downplayed

Sat, 14 Jun 2014

Don't look for a tremendous shifts in automotive market share over the next three years because it might not be coming. That's at least according to the annual Car Wars report by John Murphy, from Bank of America Merrill Lynch Global Research.
In the report's analysis of automakers' market share from 2013 to 2017, it predicts only small changes among the major companies. Ford and Honda see the biggest positive effect with an estimated 0.5 percent increase in their shares over the next three years; to 16.2 percent and 10.3 percent respectively. On the flip side, European automakers and Nissan are expected to lose 0.2 percent each to fall to 8.3 percent and 7.8 percent each respectively. The rest of the industry is predicted to hold steady as it is now.
The biggest loser in that prediction might be Fiat-Chrysler Automobiles. The report certainly throws a wet blanket on its plan for significant gains in market share. Murphy told The Detroit News that the company's goal was "almost unattainable."

Recharge Wrap-up: Toyota FCV ready for production, Nissan tests Leaf-to-Home energy management

Fri, Oct 17 2014

Toyota will begin selling its hydrogen fuel cell vehicle (FCV) in Japan in December. The US and Europe can expect to see the car become available next summer. The FCV, which will likely be called "Mirai" (meaning "future") in Japan, is ready for production ahead of its initial deadline at the end of the fiscal year in March. Toyota planned for annual production of 700 units, but might increase output to meet higher-than-expected demand, which is currently nearing 1,000 units. The cars will mostly be sold in the four cities where a hydrogen fueling infrastructure is already being put in place: Tokyo, Nagoya, Osaka and Fukuoka. Read more at Nikkei Asian Review. Nissan is testing the Leaf EV as part of an energy management system including "Leaf to Home" technology. The system allows the Leaf to help support the power grid during peak energy usage, or provide backup power to a home or building during outages, particularly in emergencies like natural disasters. Using the Leaf's battery to provide electricity during peak hours would lessen the demand on the grid and make the system work more efficiently. Furthermore, if consumers are compensated for the energy saved by using the Leaf for power during periods of high demand, it could encourage more people to adopt the EV.

CDP keeps track of how much companies are disclosing about their impact on global climate change. "The need for data on corporate climate change impacts and strategies to reduce them has never been greater," says CDP CEO Paul Simpson. "For this reason we congratulate those businesses that have achieved a position on CDP's Climate Disclosure Leadership Index." Other perfect scores were earned by Nissan, BMW, Daimler and General Motors. Read more in the press release from Honda below. Scientists at Stanford University have developed a lithium ion battery that can warn users before it overheats. A thin layer of copper between the anode and the layer separating the anode from the cathode acts as a sensor. When it detects lithium buildups from overcharging are approaching the separator, it sends an early alert long before it gets to a point where it would cause a short (which could lead to a fire). The new safety measure could be used in all sorts of battery applications, and not be limited to EVs. Learn more at Phys.org.

Acura introduces a sleeker self-driving test car

Wed, May 18 2016

As we creep ever closer to an autonomous-car future, one thing is for certain, most of the driverless cars we see being tested look hideous thanks to all the sensors strapped to the roof. Today Acura introduced its second generation Automated Acura RLX Development Vehicle with updated sensors and a more pleasing aesthetic. Gone is the spinning LIDAR system replaced with a more compact and robust version of the light detection and ranging technology. It's also got updated RADAR, camera, GPS and higher performance GPUs and CPUs as well as what Acura is calling "more intelligent software algorithms to support more complex testing scenarios." Acura and its parent company Honda have been testing autonomous cars at its GoMentum Station in the Bay Area since last year with a specially outfitted RLX (shown in the video above with the spinning LIDAR system). This new car will replace that vehicle. This article by Roberto Baldwin originally ran on Engadget, the definitive guide to this connected life.
