1989 Honda Crx Base Coupe 2-door 1.5l on 2040-cars

Year:1989 Mileage:198000 Color: car has a base/clear paint job dont professionally in Milano Red PPG brand paint

I have listed here my personal 1989 honda CRX DX 1.5L DPFI 5spd. Im getting rid of her to fund my 69 dodge project. This car has many new parts, recent maintenance and very clean and complete interior. For the most part the car is stock, never had the motor swapped, no wiring repairs. It has ALWAYS been adult driven never ever raced (come on, its a dual point 1.5L not a race car). other than that this car has been tastefully modified.

Exterior:

car has a base/clear paint job dont professionally in Milano Red PPG brand paint. no cheap paint job here! Also plenty of paint/clear on the car for a wet sand and a buff. All rust repaired properly with steel oem panels. very little filler used. it has 3 coats of clear with gold pearl. All trim has been cleaned and coated, rear window seals are new. the windows were removed before paint and the old hard gaskets replaced so no more leaks from the rear windows like most CRX's. every panel on this car is oem no certifit or body master junk here only honda.

Interior:

Mint seats with NO rips in the the cloth where normally the driver side bolster is torn to shreds. oem radio, all knobs, trim and all inside is there and very clean. The rear cargo cover is complete though the vertical part in the back is a little worse for wear. the rear top cargo cover is still in one piece NOT split in two like most CRX's this age. carpet is very clean, comes with CRX oem floor mats but they show their age. Windows were originally tinted but i removed it all except the rear hatch glass. it definitely helps keep the sun from beating down on the interior through that big back window. not only that i didnt want to risk damaging the rear defrosters because they still function.

Drive train:

Motor has been gone through and runs amazing with new timing belt, tensioner, water pump, head gasket, plugs, wires, filters, fresh oil change, batter, new clutch 6k miles ago.  Ive also put in a new thermostat, random vacuum hose and lines as needed.

Wheels:

Rims are factory Acura Intergra wheels commonly called "blades" or "swirlies" in my area. The clear has been removed and they have been polished. They could be taken a little further but I dont want too much flash. Tires are almost new Kumho ecstas 195/50/15.

Suspension:

This Crx rides on Black Works Racing full coilovers, BWR rear lower control arms and Skunk2 front upper camber kit. The brakes are oem type pads but not cheapy charlie. I personally replaced the axles a little while back as one was clicking.

Exhaust:

2.25" aluminized piping with a factory cat,  new O2 sensor, oem resonator and a magnaflow muffler. has a very nice not ricey sound. very throaty for the engine size.

I have added oem mud flaps and a factory Si lip to the car. The rears are new oem and the fronts are older but in good shape. The bumper lights and blinkers are all oem and in great shape! the carpet in the car is in very pristine shape as well. Im sure there is something I am missing. I will update it as I remember details. That all being said, this is a 25 year old car. the doors close like a brand new car and seal tight but it does have little things here and there that arent perfect. The hatch rattles a little bit over big bumps, minor scuffs on the plastic on the inside, the little tab in the glove box broke but i glued it. Its been fine ever since and you cant tell unless its pointed out. The driver side door catch has been repaired professionally and is tight and straight as the day the car was made. Like i said, little stuff here and there. The car is not perfect but this is personally the cleanest of 9 crx cars that i have owned. Is it a show car? no but damn close. It gets great gas mileage, gets a ton of looks and is done very well in my opinion. What you see is what you get. NO warranties implied car for sale as is where is. I have a clean title in hand ready to go. I will also entertain REASONABLE offers.

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.

Auto sales in March and first quarter down nearly across the board

Wed, Apr 3 2019

Nearly every major automaker reported weak U.S. sales for March and the first quarter of 2019, citing a rough start to the year, but said a robust economy and strong labor market should encourage consumers to buy more vehicles as 2019 rolls on. GM, which no longer releases monthly sales figures, saw first-quarter sales fall 7 percent, with declines across all brands. Sales of Silverado pickup trucks fell nearly 16 percent and the high-margin Chevy Suburban large SUV dropped 25 percent. Ford also no longer releases monthly sales numbers, but is due to release its first-quarter sales figures on Thursday. According to industry data, Ford's sales fell 2 percent in the quarter and 5 percent in March. Ford representatives did not immediately respond to requests for comment. FCA reported a 7 percent fall in U.S. sales in March and a 3 percent drop for the first quarter. All of FCA's brands dropped in March, except for Ram, which saw a 15 percent increase in pickup truck sales. "The industry had a tough first quarter, but with spring finally starting to show its face and continued strong economic indicators ... we are confident that new vehicle sales demand will strengthen going forward," FCA's U.S. head of sales, Reid Bigland, said in a statement. Toyota reported a 3.5 percent fall in U.S. sales in March and 5 percent for the first quarter, hurt by declining demand for its Corolla sedans and Camry vehicles. "While some of our competitors are abandoning sedans, we remain optimistic about the future of the segment," Toyota said in a statement. Nissan posted a 5.3 percent drop in sales in March, and its first-quarter sales were down 11.6 percent. Honda and Hyundai bucked the trend. Honda's U.S. sales rose 4.3 percent in March and 2 percent in the quarter, while Hyundai's were up 1.7 percent and 2.1 percent, respectively. Passenger-car sales suffered throughout the January-March quarter compared with the same period in 2018 as Americans continued to abandon them in favor of larger, more comfortable pickup trucks and SUVs, which are far more profitable for automakers. The battle for market share in the particularly lucrative large-pickup truck market intensified in the quarter, as Fiat Chrysler Automobiles' Ram brand outsold the U.S.' No. 1 automaker General Motors' Chevrolet-brand trucks. The two automakers have both launched redesigned pickup trucks.

2015 Fit Kit is the perfect DIY car from Honda

Mon, 31 Mar 2014

Ah... let the April Fools' Day automotive jokes begin. Honda is kicking things off, following up on last year's Honda Hair joke with a prank video featuring the 2015 Honda Fit.
It's called the Fit Kit, and as you might guess, it's a way to build your own version of the redesigned hatchback. There are 180,000 mechanical parts in the kit - some delivered by drone - but that doesn't seem at all daunting to the pair of obnoxious, self-described tinkerers that star in the Fit Kit ad.
Honestly, the video is pretty entertaining, with some biting satire of the DIY movement and its attendant cadre of mustachioed hipsters. Scroll down and have a look at both the video and the Fit Kit press release from Honda.
