Condition:  Extremely clean inside and out.  Besides surface rust on some suspension components etc it has a rust free body and even the brake lines running to the rear are still shiny etc.  

The car had been lightly backed into and creased the RF fender.  It was later scraped on the LF fender and front bumper fascia (also took off a 1/2" chip of paint on the drivers mirror that was touched up).  All replacements were with OEM Honda parts and professionally painted with premium paint.  The front bumper was very recently replaced with an OEM Honda part and professionally painted with premium paints and clear coats.  All other body panels are original paint etc.  A few very small dings due to storage damage can be found.  See pictures of the small gouges on the rear bumper (drivers side)...they were touched up but are noticeable up close. The carbon fiber hood was painted to match and has hood pins in place for safety (a few very minor cracks were created when installing the hood pins but have not changed in 15 years).  The window tinting was just professionally removed.

Meticulously maintained!  Mobil 1 was used exclusively with either Honda or Mobil 1 oil filters only.  Oil level has never dropped between changes.  New timing belt, water pump, drive belts installed.  Fresh valve adjustment and the K&N air filter has just been cleaned, dried, oiled and re-installed.  Motul RBF (Racing Brake Fluid) has been changed regularly.  Cam seal had a slight leak and was just repaired.  CV boots were replaced 10,000 miles ago.  Clutch was replaced 15,000 miles ago.  A/C is nice and cold.

The factory windshield was replaced 8,000 miles ago.  There was one very small rock chip in the middle of the passenger side since but it has been professionally repaired so it will not spread.

Suspension is firm but not at all bouncy.

Note:The Michelin Pilot Exalto PE2 ultra high performance summer tires are showing their age with some cracking(due to being stored so much) and have 1/8" tread life remaining (see pictures).

History:

I purchased the vehicle new in 1996 from Bellevue Honda in Bellevue (Omaha), Nebraska.  The car was always garaged in the snow belt and rarely driven in winter.  I kept the underside washed all the time when/if it was exposed to snow.  I then lived in Phoenix, AZ for 5 years (no rust obviously) and finally here in SW Ohio but only drove it a few times in snow here as well.

The car was pictured in Sport Compact Car magazine as it was the cover vehicle for the Honda Hybrid web page for a few months in 1998.  It has had several upgrades since then as you can tell from the lists above.  The engine had just over 33,000 kilometers on it when installed and the car had 40,000 miles.

I have never drag raced the car.  I did run the car on Laguna Seca with street legal tires and Honda OEM pads.  Fast lap was 1 minute 52 seconds and that was prior to limited slip being installed.  I also had the pleasure of driving it to and in performance driving schools at Gingerman Raceway, Phoenix International (road course), Buttonwillow, Willow Springs, Second Creek Raceway (no longer exists in Colorado), Brainerd International and the Las Vegas Speedway (road course).

On street tires I would average 38MPG at 75MPH.

Car comes with it's 2 original keys and an Alpine remote.

Unfortunately I have not been be really using this car for the purpose it was built for quite a few years.  As you can see, no cheap parts were ever put on this car.  I was even married in it!

Meet the Kanjozoku, Osaka's infamous street racers

Thu, 17 Jul 2014

Street racing is obviously illegal and incredibly dangerous, but that has never stopped people from doing it. While we don't hear nearly as much about the scourge of Japanese tuner cars as when The Fast and the Furious first hit theaters over a decade ago, illegal street racing is still bubbling under the surface all over the island nation. An excellent new documentary short from Bowls Films takes a look at the Kanjozoku from Osaka, Japan; a group that claims to be partially responsible for the tuning style known as JDM.
The group gets their name from their preferred route known as the Kanjo. It's a 4.77-mile long loop of connected highways running right through the city of Osaka. You might expect a hardcore group of illegal Japanese racers to show up with highly tuned Nissan GT-R and Toyota Supra coupes, but the Kanjozoku evidently eschew all of the others in favor of one particular car that they love: the Honda Civic.
According to the video, that vehicle of choice came in part from the city's location. Osaka was relatively near the one-make Civic races held at Japan's legendary Suzuka racetrack. The hatchbacks thus became the default weapons for the Kanjozoku's street battles.

Honda's hot new Civic Type R finally hatches in production form [w/video] [UPDATE]

Tue, Mar 3 2015

UPDATE: A previous version of this article incorrectly indicated that the vehicle in question is the most powerful hot hatch ever made. As some commenters pointed out, the Ford Focus RS500 was more powerful by some 40 horsepower. We've updated the text below accordingly. Takanobu Ito may be stepping down as president and CEO of Honda, but as far as performance machinery is concerned, he'll be leaving the company in good shape. Not only has he ushered Honda back into Formula One – reviving the legendary partnership with McLaren – but he's also brought back two performance icons: the NSX and the Civic Type R. The former is making its European debut here at the Geneva Motor Show after its premier in Detroit, but alongside it we're seeing for the first time the production version of the latter. Not that it's exactly our first look at the new hot hatch. We've seen it testing, seen a couple of concept versions and even drove an early prototype. But after that whole lengthy process, it's finally here. (Or there, we should say, because it won't be coming to America. At least not in its current form.) What we're looking at, according to the manufacturer, is not only the fastest and most powerful front-drive hot hatch it's ever made, but on the market altogether. It packs a 2.0-liter VTEC turbo four kicking out 306 horsepower and 295 pound-feet of torque – the most powerful production engine the company has ever offered – said to be enough to propel the new Civic Type R to 62 in 5.7 seconds and on to a top speed of 167 miles per hour. That's a whole lot of muscle to channel to the front wheels, but Honda's surely done its best to keep it all under control. It's got an old-school six-speed manual transmission, electric power steering, 19-inch wheels, Brembo brakes, adaptive dampers and a suspension designed to combat torque steer and tuned to enhance high-speed stability and support hard cornering. In addition to extensive testing at locations including the Nurburgring, Suzuka and the company's own Takasu test track, the new Civic Type R has also undergone considerable CFD and wind tunnel testing to tune the aerodynamics. The resulting appendages may be toned down slightly from the concepts, but still make quite a visual impact – to say nothing of generating much-needed downforce to keep this sucker glued to the road or track.
