Year:1990 Mileage:17767
Location:

 For Sale: 1990 Honda CRX Si. One owner car purchased new in 1990 from a Honda Dealer in  NY. The car was immediately prepped for IMSA's Firestone Firehawk Endurance Championship (FFEC) and was never registered or used on the street until 2003. The car competed in the full 1991 FFEC season and part of the 1992 season. In 1991 it finished the 24 hours of Watkins Glenn and in 1992 in finished 7th at Laguna Seca. This was the last time the car saw competition. In august 1992 the car was stored in a heated garage until 1995 when the car was moved to Phoenix AZ. Between 1995 and 2003 the CRX was slowly converted the car back to a street car. Since 2003 it was used the car for occasion commuting and the occasional track day . The car has 17,767 original miles.

The good points:
This car has under 18,000 original miles, no that is not a misprint, that's less than eighteen thousand.
The 1.6L single overhead cam has been bored to the maximum allowable limit, balanced and blueprinted with gapless piston rings, ceramic coated piston tops and Teflon coated skirts. The head has been polished and ported. The intake manifold has been extrude honed for larger ports. When the CRX was converted  back to a street car a high flow cat, a Mugen header and a cold air intake was installed. The car also has a Brospeed exhaust that includes a resonator. It sounds great, not like most civics with fart can mufflers. The car has no trouble passing emissions and no check engine light. The engine makes most of its power between 6 and 7K rpm and LOVES to rev. The current engine was refreshed recently with bearings and rings. 
The bolt in roll cage and racing seats where removed once racing ended and the original interior was re-installed. So the interior is in near perfect condition except where the stereo was stolen and the drivers seat bolster fabric is worn through. I believe the seats are not the original ones but were purchased used in order to convert it back to a street car.
The car has Dunlop Sport 8000 tires on 14 inch ROH 6 spoke wheels. There is plenty of tread left on them but they are 10 years old and are showing signs of dry rot.
Stainless steel braided brake lines with the stock calipers, rotors and pads are in good shape.
The car has Ground Control adjustable coil overs with Koni adjustable shocks and Eibach springs. The shocks and springs were installed recently so they are fairly new.

 The sunroof is still intact and operates as normal with the factory electric motor.
All the bushings in the cars suspension and the motor mounts are Mugen performance parts.
There is a Momo steering wheel and gear shift knob installed in the car.
 Three years ago a used OEM air conditioner system was installed since this car did not come equipped with A/C. During the install a proper conversion from R12 to 134a was performed.  ALL of the O-rings were replaced to the green ones for 134a, completely flushed the system of the old oil and replaced it with the type compatible with 134a. The A/C stopped working because a seal is leaking and the idler pulley was making noise. I will include a BNIB Honda idler pulley.

The bad points:
The body has seen some battle from the track and is still painted and stickered with most of the graphics from the FFEC. The stickers are peeling and the paint is faded. There is almost no body panel that is free of some type of dent or bruise. The hood and the roof are probably the panels free of dings and dents.
The hatch shocks are shot and the hatch falls on your head unless you affix a vice grip.

There is an oil pressure gauge that is "T'ed" into the oil pressure port. The gauge is connected with stainless braided lines from the engine to the gauge. Both the idiot light and the oil pressure gauge work and the engine produces a sold 80psi of oil pressure.
 
Mounted in the cargo box in the rear hatch is a Nakamichi P300 amp that is 2 channel 75 watts per channel. This amp is VERY clean and was discontinued by Nakamichi years ago but is highly sought after in the used market.
In the doors are Rockford Fosgate speakers; QSD216 Q SERIES: 6.5

The driver and passenger side taillights are damaged and cracked.

The CV boots are leaking due to the car sitting for extended periods of times and there is a minor oil leak.
I have the car fax validating the mileage.

I will include the the following BRAND NEW IN BOX Honda parts for this vehicle: All new moldings, the lower cladding, lower door caps, passenger side front fender, new quarter window seals, sunroof seal, A/C idler pulley, center radio trim bezel with storage pocket.

I reserve the right to cancel this auction at any time. This car will probably sell before the auction is over. Don't miss this once in a lifetime opportunity to own a low mileage CRX with a interesting history. When this car is properly re painted it will be worth a lot of money.

I am the second owner and I have owned this car for almost 2 years. I wanted to restore it but I just do not have the time and I am looking at buying another project car. Feel free to call me @ 443-226- FIVE NINE FOUR ZERO

Honda 'Hands' ad is a worthy successor to 'Cog'

Mon, 08 Jul 2013

The 2003 Cog commercial from Honda may have been named one of the best car commercials of all time, but an all-new spot called Hands looks to be even more entertaining even if it's digitally enhanced. The two-minute video - which starts and ends with a nod to Cog - highlights just about all facets of Honda's universe of products from passenger cars to racecars, the HondaJet to leaf blowers, motorcycles, ATVs and even Asimo.
Celebrating 65 years of innovation, the advertisement is as informative as it is amusing, and it even injects a little humor, too, like a glass of water being squeezed from the FCX Clarity. We just hope that the 1:10 mark of the video isn't hinting at a CR-V Convertible. We're not sure when Hands will air or if we'll see it on television here in the US, but the video is posted below; as an added bonus, we've also included the video for Cog.

Junkyard Gem: 2000 Honda Passport 4WD

Sun, Nov 20 2022

The suits at American Honda Motor Company must have spent the bulk of the 1990s tearing out their hair in frustration as their rivals raked in big money from the sales of ever-more-profitable SUVs, even as American car shoppers lost interest in sedans and hatchbacks. Oh, sure, the Civic-based CR-V appeared here for the 1997 model year and sold well enough, but the lack of a larger SUV pained Honda more with each passing year. With the Acura MDX and Honda Pilot not ready for showrooms until the 2001 and 2002 model years, respectively, some stopgap had to be found. Isuzu stepped up and made a deal with Honda: the Rodeo would get Honda badges and become the Passport, while the Trooper would show up in Acura showrooms with SLX badges (for the 1994 and 1995 model years, respectively). Here's one of those Passports, found in a Denver-area self-service yard. Things got even weirder in the Isuzu/Honda world around the turn of the century, with the Honda Odyssey getting Isuzu badges and being sold as the Oasis. Fast-forward to 2009, and the only Isuzu-badged vehicles available new here were rebadged Chevrolets: the I-Series pickup (Chevy Colorado) and the Ascender (Chevy Trailblazer). The Passport name has some interesting American Honda history, stretching back to the first Honda vehicle sold here (and the biggest-selling motor vehicle in human history): the Super Cub. American Honda Motor Company couldn't use the Super Cub name on our shores, because Piper Aircraft had been selling a small plane called the Super Cub since 1949, so the motorcycle was called the Honda 50 over here. Eventually, this bike got a 70cc engine and became the Honda C70 Passport, sales of which continued through the middle 1980s. That means the Passports sitting in your local Honda dealership right now got their name from a one-cylinder motorcycle. General Motors has a Passport connection as well; when GM created the Geo brand to sell rebadged Isuzus, Suzukis, and Toyotas in the United States, it created a marque called Passport to sell the Daewoo LeMans as the Optima in Canada (all the other vehicles sold by Passport dealers were Isuzus). So, Honda's need to offer SUVs in its American dealerships led to an arrangement with GM-connected Isuzu to sell these trucks with a model name bearing links to both companies. So much history in the junkyard! Just as Geo-badged Toyota Corollas (mostly) got Delco radios, so did the Passport get Honda radios.

2014 Honda Accord Hybrid priced from $29,155*

Mon, 23 Sep 2013

Honda has announced pricing for the new, 50-mile-per-gallon 2014 Accord Hybrid today, with three trims - Hybrid, Hybrid EX-L and Hybrid Touring - for owners to choose from. Prices for the base car start at $29,155, while the mid-range model will run $31,905. The top-of-the-line Touring trim starts at $34,905. Prices do not include the *$905 destination charge.
Regardless of which model is chosen, Accord Hybrid owners will be able to net 50 mpg in the city and 45 on the highway, numbers that compare favorably with the Ford Fusion Hybrid (47/47 mpg) and the Toyota Camry Hybrid (43/39). The Accord does cost a bit more than the competition, but if out-and-out fuel economy is your goal, the Honda wins based on these numbers.
It's also notable how much Honda was able to trim off the Accord Hybrid's price when compared to the Accord Plug-In. That car starts at $39,780, meaning the Hybrid variant is over $10,000 less, while matching that PHEV's 47-mpg combined rating. Take a look down below for the official press release from Honda.
