This is what I have on Craigslist. Its a great car for someone who needs a reliable family sedan...
Excellent running, Great condition Acura. Engine runs perfect with no errors. (the pic with check engine light was just a misfire. This was before i changed the spark plugs and had it erased) It has New Spark plugs (50 miles) New Crank Sensor. All new Belts (200 miles) Alternator newer, All new coolant, just flushed it. The tranny shifts perfect and is as smooth as the motor. Changed Tranny fluid. I just changed the Temp sensor and the thermostat, put in a 165 Degree one. The tires are great. The fronts should be changed with the backs though. The back tires are almost new, where as the front ones have 70% tread left. Everything on the car is in excellent running order. I'm a mechanic in Grad school. This is how i get through school. I find cars, fix them and drive them, to make sure everything's all tuned up and good, (and then try and sell them for a few bucks) This car now has over $2400 into it. I bought it for 1400, then put 1000 into it. (including parts, Crank sensor, Crank pulley, Curt hitch, and a new hood (its in Wisconsin, we can figure that out later) The car does have some minor rust spots on it. Including the little spots in the rear wells, the hood and right below the license plate on the trunk. Its small. I was going to fix it, that's why I bought the hood. I took it home to work on it. Its included, $300 value. I kind of got carried away, so now my so-called-flip has turned into a flop. I just changed the fluids, (didn't flush it) and added expensive Valvoline fluid to the tranny, with high mileage additive. I just changed the oil and oil filter with Amsoil. Its the most expensive and the best synthetic oil you can buy. Its 11 bucks a quart. I have 100 miles on the oil and you don't have to change it for 25,000 miles or 12 months. The brakes are excellent, they were just gone through. The ABS light is on unfortunately, and it needs a sensor. (took it in, thats what they said. I might be a Mechanic, but ABS stuff is impossible without the right equipment to troubleshoot) Its clicking too. (the drivers side) This is a very common Honda problem. Its the steering knuckle. Its not a problem for driving, its just I just haven't gotten time to change it. This car runs and drives like a Mercedes Benz. No joke, its got the double wishbone suspension; same technology as most race cars. The interior is very nice, give it a 8.5/10. The exterior is all original. Again it has a few scuffs and scratches on the front and rear bumpers. I just fixed and installed all new Expensive halogen lights and fog lights in the front. I give the exterior a 7/10 with a few small spots on the hood and the rear wheel wells. The exhaust is very nice and quiet. All the sensors are fine with no codes. Again this car is a great family car. Very safe and was one of the leading award winning cars in the 90's. I'd keep it, but I'm just a student trying to get by...just one more semester left. (omg i'm in debt) Sorry for the info, I don't like surprises for people and the car is what it is. A very nice family sedan, with 190,000 miles. Yes, that might seem like a lot to some, but this car can easily go another 60,000 if taken care of. Look on Kelly's Blue Book. The car retails for about $2300. Its a well built, well engineered Japanese car. Its a high-end Honda. (in Japan they call it a Honda Legend) I'm a military mechanic by trade. I was in the Air Force and stationed all over the country. I've gone through this car in hopes to flip it. But where I'm at its just impossible to sell cars. In Chicago, there are literary hundreds of great cars for under 2000. I'm now in Vernon Hills/Mundelien area studying for the Priesthood. I was asking $1900 on Craigs-list. Its now today on Ebay...we'll see what happens. My loss is your gain. Peace |

Honda S2000, Acura RSX recalled over brake boosters
Fri, 14 Jun 2013Honda has announced a recall that affects two of our favorite, dearly departed cars from the brand's portfolio: the S2000 roadster and Acura RSX coupe. A total of 5,239 S2000 models from the 2006 and 2007 model years are affected by this problem, as are 13,113 2006 Acura RSX models.
"A production error may have allowed brake booster components to be produced outside of the original specifications, potentially causing decreased brake assistance over time, which could increase the risk of a crash," American Honda said in a press release. Thus, dealerships will inspect and, if necessary, replace the brake booster setups in these vehicles, free of charge.
No crashes or injuries have been reported in relation to this brake problem. Honda says the problem was discovered during warranty claim analysis.
Second-generation Acura TLX could inaugurate a turbocharged V6
Mon, Apr 13 2020The second-generation TLX will inaugurate a turbocharged V6 engine developed specifically for the Acura brand, according to a recent report. The six will power a range-topping, performance-oriented variant of the sedan. Honda's luxury division gave us a thinly-veiled preview of the next TLX when it introduced the Type S concept (pictured) at The Quail in 2019. While technical details were left out of the announcement, Car and Driver learned from sources familiar with the company's plans that the sedan will receive a new V6 whose displacement will likely check in at 3.0 liters. It will reportedly make over 300 horsepower thanks to at least one turbocharger. The 3.0-liter will replace the 290-horsepower 3.5-liter V6 available in the current-generation TLX. Several members of the Honda range also use the bigger six, it's notably found in the Ridgeline pickup, but none will receive its replacement; it's Acura-specific. Transmission options remain unconfirmed. C/D added the TLX will receive a turbocharged, 2.0-liter four-cylinder as its entry-level engine. It's related to the four that powers the Honda Accord, and it will spin the front wheels via a 10-speed automatic transmission. All-wheel drive will be offered at an extra cost. The sedan will ride on a new platform, and it will drive better than its predecessor regardless of cylinder count thanks in part to a comprehensively redesigned front suspension. Earlier spy shots depicting heavily-camouflaged test mules suggest the next TLX will look a lot like the Type S concept. It will take Acura's design language in a more evocative direction that will permeate the rest of the range in the coming years. Inside, motorists will find a touchpad-controlled infotainment system like the RDX's. Acura resorted to automotive omerta when asked to confirm or deny the rumors. The company simply told Autoblog it will introduce two new vehicles in the next 12 or so months and unveil a brand-exclusive turbocharged V6, which adds credibility to the report. We'll need to muster a little bit more patience to learn more. Related Video: Featured Gallery Acura Type S Concept photos View 16 Photos Rumormill Acura Sedan
Acura NSX ScienceofSpeed Dream Project brings another wing to SEMA
Mon, Oct 30 2017Acura rolled into SEMA last year with its non-hybrid NSX GT3 race car, that FIA spec-series competitor pulled to Vegas on a trailer behind a GT3-themed Acura MDX. Sticking with the GT3 theme this year but going road-legal, Acura worked with Arizona-based ScienceofSpeed on a GT3 package that NSX owners can put in driveways. The result is the lower, more powerful, more wing-y NSX "Dream Project." Liquid-cooled injecting for the twin-turbo boosts output, adding 37 horsepower for a total of 610, and another 31 pound-feet of torque to register 507. A lightweight steel exhaust sheds 16 pounds and bestows those magnified numbers with magnified bass. A custom suspension drops the coupe by a little more than an inch, a custom iLIFT suspension add-on automatically raises the front axle two inches if the NSX detects a hurdle. The ScienceofSpeed aero kit includes all you'd expect from the alphanumeric "GT3:" front strakes, wider rocker panels, larger rear diffuser, a rear wing, gold powdercoated carbon ceramic Brembo brakes, and wider Pirelli Trofeo R tires wrapped around Advan GT forged wheels. Drench the package in two-tone Andaro Nouvelle Blue Pearl and gloss black roof, and the NSX Dream Project's ready to be driven from climate-controlled garage, to parking-lot car show, back to climate-controlled garage. If the owner decides to test a limit or two, Recaro Pole Position seats and a gaugeART OLED display will keep him locked in and informed. Related Video:
