Hello and Thanks for checking out my car.

If you think this car looks familiar, I've listed this vehicle before, but at the time it had a custom vehicle wrap on it and I think that was limiting it's appeal. Since the last time I've listed it (last Summer I think), I've removed the wrap and actually had the whole car exterior professionally repainted (at Impact Collision Center, Tulsa OK) at a cost of $4,500. As much as I'd like to keep the car, in the back of my mind I know I need to let it go, I've had this car for about 12 years now and I'm ready for something different. Anyway, on to the car...

Engine:

JDM B16a from a 2000 Civic Si

Matching manual transmission (car was automatic)

New Radiator at time of Motor Swap

Cleaner Factory Engine Bay Wiring (also removed P/S, Air, CC)

Duralast Battery

Skunk 2 Chip in ECU (ECU has been upgraded so different program chips can be installed) (also comes with a factory non-vtec ECU)

DC Headers - 4 to 1 configuration - Ceramic Coated

AEM Cold Air Intake

Custom Bent Exhaust, with midpipe to keep it quieter, but increase performance.

Skunk 2 Muffler

Aerospeed Short Throw Shifter

Suspension:

TEIN Super Street Coilovers

Factory Parts that connect to coilovers were color matched to TEIN Green

Rear Trailing Arms and Rear Calipers were replaced when suspension was installed

AEM Big Brake Kit (required upgrade to '97 VTEC delsol from knuckles first, these brakes are HUGE!)

EBC Green Stuff Brake Pads

16" Rota Grid Wheels with color matched lip

Nitto NeoGen Tires, size 205/45 R16 87V

Spoon Sports front Strut Bar

Interior:

Kept mostly stock appearing

Carbon Fiber Garnishes on vents/gauges/door switches

Seats are from a Mazdaspeed Protge and they recline/lift/lower/slide

Alpine CD Head Unit + Alpine 6 Disk Changer

Kicker Door Speakers/Clarion Rear Speakers

2 JL w6 10" Subs in custom Trunk enclosure (roof can still be placed in trunk, as well as full size spare!

Subs can be deactivated with a factory integrated switch, if you want to turn them off.

Windshield mounted amplified antenna

Clear door Glass/Windshield, Tinted rear Glass

Exterior:

Fiber Images Carbon Fiber Hood

Shaved door Handles with Autoloc remote to open

Shaved Gas fill and Antenna

Hidden Rear Trunk Release, no key hole

Paint Color is Nissan Sentra Orange (any shop can repair it!)

Factory Aux lights in bumper illuminate Orange

Second set of hidden driving lights are white (in lower bumper area)

JDM 1 Piece Headlights (real OEM Honda parts)

JDM Licence plate fillers

GT Factory "vertical" door hinges

Rolled Fender Lips (in case you want to lower the coilovers all the way down)

Stock Front and Rear Bumpers and Side Skirts

OK, here's the good and the bad of the car.

Overall, it really is a good car, I've driven it from coast to coast 1 time (Philly, PA to Laguna Beach, CA) and it made the trip flawlessly. It's a good driving car, no shakes, vibrations, pulling, none of that. It gets a lot of attention, especially if you open the doors vertically to get out (I just open them as far as they go "regular" and scoot out). The stereo system is awesome, very clear and very little rattle from the trunk, there are various spots of dynamat back there. Almost all the sound is sent forward when the trunk is closed. The head unit can be finicky, it's about 12 years old, and sometimes you have to spin the knob 5 or 6 times to get the volume to start turning up, but once it goes it's fine, typically first thing in the morning. Also, it can be tricky with CD's when you first put them in, but once they are in it works. I've come to learn how to make them work, you may want to replace just the head unit if it gives you trouble, the rest of the sound system is good (or just rely on the 6 disk changer). As I stated above, the car has recently been repainted. It's a professional job, and looks great, but there is a small line of overspray in the drivers door jamb, not major. I have a small bottle of touch up paint as well, in case you need it. I mentioned it's 3rd gear chirp. This is something new, but if I try shifting too fast out of 2nd to 3rd, it does make a small noise. It has never popped out of gear or caused any issue, but I want to give full disclosure about the car. I also have a few extras, an extra ECU (mentioned above), a full set of door glass (roll-up and wing windows that are tinted), and replacement window regulators. I think I have the stock muffler upstairs as well.

I really encourage you to look at the car before bidding if possible. I feel it's in really great shape, and will answer any questions you may have about it. Car is located near Tulsa Oklahoma. I will also help with delivery (cost can be determined on distance) as long as payment for vehicle and delivery charge is made prior to delivery. There is a fair reserve set on the car, well within what the car is worth.

Thanks!

Honda unveils new 3.5-liter racing engine

Sat, 22 Feb 2014

Honda is following Ford's lead and debuting the second twin-turbocharged V6 to be used by Daytona Prototypes in the United Sports Car Championship. The wait won't be long to see it on track because the new engine will debut with the Starworks Motorsport team in a Riley Gen3 prototype chassis at the 12 Hours of Sebring from March 12-15.
The new HR35TT engine is based on Honda's J35 production V6 found in a variety of its models, including the current Accord. The racing version benefits from dry sump lubrication, but is still similar to the production version with an aluminum block, direct injection and single overhead camshafts. It is fueled by 100-octane E10 fuel, but like many racing engines, exact power figures have not been released.
Starworks has had a close relationship with Honda since it won the LMP2 class at the 24 Hours of Le Mans and in the FIA World Endurance Championship in 2012 with a Honda Performance Development ARX-03b chassis and Honda engine. We can't wait to see this new mill hit the track, and see how it fairs against Chip Ganassi Racing's EcoBoost-powered Riley. Scroll down to read the press release for the full details.

2015 Honda CR-V

Tue, 30 Sep 2014

Predicting the future direction of Honda's compact CR-V would have been difficult based on the Civic-derived model that first arrived on our shores for the 1997 model year. The newcomer, selling alongside the body-on-frame Passport (a hastily rebadged Isuzu Rodeo), was a cute compact crossover with four doors and an awkward curb-side hinged tailgate thanks to its Japanese home-market design. The five-passenger CUV offered generous interior room, but its wheezy 2.0-liter four-cylinder, with an output of just 126 horsepower and 133 pound-feet of torque, required 11.7 seconds to bring the 3,153-pound vehicle to 60 miles per hour. Rear drum brakes didn't help much in the stopping department, but Honda offered safety-minded consumers optional anti-lock brakes on the premium trim.
Nearly two decades after its introduction, the CR-V has matured in spectacular manner. The refreshed 2015 Honda CR-V, now in its fourth generation, is dimensionally within two inches of its ancestor in overall length and nearly identical in height and wheelbase. That consistency of dimension is impressive in this age of size and segment creep, and it stands as a testament to how 'right' Honda engineers got the model's original packaging. Of course, the CR-V hasn't stood still - nearly everything else about the best-selling compact CUV has improved in leaps and bounds.
But Honda is not the only player in this hotly contested segment today, so the automaker has taken the unusual step of updating its fourth-generation model just a few years after its introduction in an effort to keep it seated on the podium. To learn more about the automaker's improvements, and form our own impressions, we spent a day driving the CR-V in sunny Southern California.

Honda Jazz looks like a good fit for Paris

Wed, 17 Sep 2014

The quirky, utilitarian little hatchback that we know as the Honda Fit in the US carries the more melodious Jazz name in Europe. And while the newest Fit is already on sale in our market, folks are still waiting for it across the pond. Honda is unveiling its new Jazz Prototype to the 2014 Paris Motor Show in October, and it's nearly identical to what is currently on sale in North America. In fact, it's hard to image Honda changing much from this "prototype" before launching it for Europeans.
The Jazz's design is exactly what you would expect after even a glance at the current North American Fit. Except for a different wing at the rear, a shark fin antenna and a new set of wheels, this Jazz plays the same tune we've heard before.
The one thing keeping the Fit and Jazz from truly being identical siblings is that the European model packs Honda's new 1.3-liter i-VTEC Earth Dreams engine under the hood, rather than the 1.5-liter used in North America. But just like our Fit, the Jazz will be available with a six-speed manual or CVT. The Japanese automaker says that the Jazz goes on sale in the summer of 2015. Scroll down to read the company's announcement for its upcoming hatch.
