1990 Honda Civic Dx Hatchback 3-door 1.5l on 2040-cars
Granite City, Illinois, United States
|
The previous owner of this vehicle listed it as having water damage at one time, but assured me that it was fixed. He stated that he had went through the whole car and changed the carpet's. I purchased this Honda in the latter part of 2012 and had planed to drive it for the fuel savings. After my purchase I found their were many things that needed to be completed. It came with a half set of coil springs for the rear wheels that I installed. The front set were installed,but the brake hose's were left floating which necessitated a complete rework to make their installation correct. This auction is for a 1990 civic hatchback. it has 2000,00 miles on the body, but the motor and transmission have been swapped. The motor is a JDM ZC DOHC 1.6L with 50,000 miles. The automatic was converted to a 91 SI 5 speed with 90,000 miles. The car has a check engine and in park light on because of the swap, and a switch for the back-up lights was installed. A honda tech that I purchased the car from did all the swap's and the following: replaced the water pump, timing belt, all oil seals, alternator, spark plugs, a 1990 integer ECU which has great fuel maps, NGK Blue wires, fuel filter, pro thane shifter bushings, new CV axles, new front shocks with 1.75 inch drop lowering springs, tie rods, new belts, all new hose's both upper and lower, new radiator, wheel bearings, brakes, short ram air intake, headers 4-2-1 to 2.5 inch exhaust with high flow CAT. converter, a new clutch, pressure plate, throw-out bearing, pilot bearing, fly wheel and fly wheel bolts. All fluids are genuine honda. The interior has 97 civic front bucket seats, and the rear is 91 civic Si leather seats. Si clock and Si center console, JDM shifter boot with knob and short shifter, 2001 civic Si front floor mats, black carpet out of an Si donor car, and $200.00 super bright head lights. Since I have owned it, I installed new shocks for the hatch door, new pirelli tires on custom 14 inch honda wheels, relocated a new 5 year battery to under the hood, had a new radio installed professionally, and ordered all of the parts I needed through Honda. I have only driven about 500 miles, but part of that was on good inter-state road where I was able to give it a adequate test drive. It performed admirably. I filled the fuel recently and it still show's full. This car at one time had AC, but I don't have parts to install it now. If you have any Question I'll be happy to answer.
In regards to water damage I haven't seen any. |

Scion FR-S pitted against oldtimers RX-8 and S2000
Tue, 07 May 2013There are very few vehicles available today that compare directly with the Scion FR-S and Subaru BRZ twins. A case could be made for the Mazda MX-5 Miata, and possibly even six-cylinder versions of American coupes like the Ford Mustang. Pretty much everything else is either too expensive or is powered by the wrong set of wheels.
The boys from EverydayDriver on YouTube decided the only fair way to judge the inherent qualities of the Toyobaru twins was to pit them against two standard-bearers of years past: The Honda S2000 and Mazda RX-8. Neither of these cars is an exact matchup, with the Honda boasting a convertible top and the RX-8 offering more practicality via a rear seat and two reverse-opening doors for easier access. What they do offer, however, are similar performance stats and proven reputations for excellent handling.
None of this talk answers the real question, though: Which one wins the comparison test? Scroll down to watch the video, and be prepared for something of a surprise conclusion.
2014 Honda HPD CR-Z
Tue, 05 Nov 2013Honda invited us to its Southern California North American headquarters last week to take a spin in a very special CR-Z - one modified with a full complement of Honda Performance Development (HPD) components. While the company has been racing with HPD parts for years, this is the first time the automaker has offered them for its street-legal vehicles, and it has chosen this year's SEMA Show in Las Vegas to be the launch venue. Last year, Honda introduced the HPD Supercharged CR-Z Concept at SEMA - this is the slightly modified production version.
The complete transformation gives the normally placid hybrid hatchback a serious shot of adrenaline thanks to a bolt-on supercharger combined with suspension, tire, brake and exhaust upgrades. In addition to the blower (detailed in a bullet point below), new HPD suspension components lower the car by about half an inch, and firmer spring rates stiffen the ride. Stock 16- or 17-inch wheels are then replaced with HPD 18-inch alloys wrapped in sticky Michelin Pilot Super Sport tires (215/40ZR18 at all corners). The clutch is upgraded, a limited-slip differential is installed and new HPD monobloc four-piston calipers are fitted over slotted and ventilated iron rotors up front (the single-pistons over solid discs on the back axle are unchanged). In the rear, the stock hidden single exhaust pipe is replaced by a free-flow twin-tip exhaust that peers out of a new HPD lower diffuser. Other cosmetic enhancements include an HPD front lip spoiler, rear deck lid spoiler and an HPD emblem kit for each side. To say the CR-Z is transformed by the complete HPD package is an understatement.

McLaren and Honda rekindle a winning combination
Fri, Nov 28 2014With the 2014 Formula One World Championship now drawn to a close, all eyes are fixed on next season. And for both McLaren and Honda, that means the dawn of a new era – or hopefully, the return to one bygone. After twenty years running Mercedes engines, McLaren is switching back to Honda next season, rekindling the most successful partnership the once-dominant team has ever had. Immediately after swapping to Honda power in 1988 – and with Ayrton Senna and Alain Prost behind the wheel – McLaren entered its winningest era, racking up four consecutive world championships. In the two decades it's spent under Mercedes power since, it won three drivers' titles and one constructors', leaving the relatively brief Honda era as its most successful. It was also the most successful for Honda, which had enjoyed success with Williams and some with Lotus, but far more with McLaren – the likes of which it was never able to recreate. The Japanese automaker that was the first to break into the Euro-centric series left grand prix racing when it left McLaren, and despite returning to fund its own team for the better part of a decade, claimed but one checkered flag before calling it quits again. Whether the new collaboration will return both outfits to the winner's circle remains to be seen, but we're looking forward to finding out. In the meantime, after releasing a couple of images from the video shoot last week, McLaren has put out this minute-and-a-half video clip showing the MP4-29H running a few laps around Silverstone, marking the official start of what could be the second reign of the McLaren-Honda dynasty.
