This is a great car, I've had it since it had 97k
miles and I am the third owner. I’ve always been a Honda fan, got the bug and
did some mild modifications to her. The oil was always changed between 3K and
3.5K miles with 5W-30 synthetic and a good oil filter since I purchased the
car.
She’s been really good to me and never left me stranded. The car is quick, but not fast; she handles great and is a blast to drive on the street. The engine still runs very clean and has good compression. The compression ratio is high and the car runs on PREMIUM right now and gets mid 30’s in MPG on the highway. I can retard the cam and Ignition timing and raise the fuel pressure to run on regular if needed. Up until February of this year, the body was in great shape for its age; I bought a new car and was using the Civic as my main transportation to and from work. The new car went in the garage and the Civic was parked on the street. The car was hit (side swiped) and bumped several times and I don’t have the time to do the work (and don’t want to throw money away….as she’ll probably get hit again) and need to sell. All of the major damage, like the fender and door are pictured. The car now lives out of harms way, so no more body damage will occur. I still drive her about once a week when I’m in the area. The car would make a great daily beater, but also a great project as the body is straight and it has a host of newer suspension components. The exhaust is aggressive and deep; it is tame at light to half throttle, but gets loud when you get on it. Engine,
Transmission & Exhaust modifications: Mini-me (D16Y8 VTEC head on D16Y7 block) with a rebuilt cylinder head and NEW OEM Head gasket and head bolts at 107,000 miles AEM air filter with velocity stack and 3" intake pipe into an S2000 throttle body and Blox intake manifold 240cc EX injectors and a Blox fuel pressure regulator on an Edelbrock fuel rail Airmass header to a 2.25" Vibrant SS core Catalytic converter out to a 2.36" SS Top Fuel 0-1000 cat-back AEM cam gear advanced 2 degrees Civic VX oil cooler with a Blox sandwich adapter for the oil gauges 97 EX OBD2a ECU and engine wire harness and an OBD1 air temp sensor with adapter harness Civic EX sedan/coupe transmission (shorter gears) with a B&M Edge shifter Suspension: All bushings, ball joints, springs, shocks, struts, hats, sway bar links, wheel bearings, tie rods, pads, shoes, rotors, and drums replaced around 150,000 miles; except for performance parts, all OEM Honda parts Koni SRT.T shocks and struts in H&R OE Sport springs (about .75" drop) 19mm Del-Sol rear sway bar with custom SS end link adapters Hardrace rear upper arms (rear camber adjusters) PasswordJDM rear lower tie bar, Carbing front lower tie bar, and Skunk2 front upper tie bar Interior and electronics: Integra seats S2000 steering wheel with airbag and cruise control switch Custom CRV gauges and amber dash lights Shift-I shift light integrated into cluster AEM air-fuel ratio, Prosport oil and fuel pressure, and SPA 2 in 1 oil and water temperature gauges Field's SFC-VTEC Controller (not currently wired in) Clarion USB/AUX/CD/radio head unit Exterior: Gunmetal replacement headlights ESUSE (glass) OEM fog lights OEM mud guards Coupe grille The good: The alternator was replaced with a genuine Denso unit (made in Japan, rebuilt in USA) around 180K miles The steering rack was replaced with a rebuilt unit around 170K miles The timing belt, water pump, front main seal and cam seal replaced at 209,189 miles The bad: The car needs front brake pads and rotors, a flush, and new brake lines. It currently has braided stainless lines and the silicon coating is cracked; the brakes work just fine now but need to be done soon The oil pan leaks a little, the engine looses about 4-6oz every month, it drips very slowly, you can not watch it drip, but the oil pan is coated in oil The headliner is sagging and needs to be reupholstered The trunk leaks a little when it rains; I replaced the outer tail light seals (on the quarter panels) which did not solve the problem; I have the inner taillight seals, but have not installed them I am a smoker, there are some burn holes and the carpet has always had a bad coffee stain in the middle of the rear seat since I bought it It has normal old Honda rust and the recent body damage as evidenced in the pictures The cruise control hasn’t worked for about a year and a half; I think it’s the actuator The drivers’ side rear window motor has burnt out; I
have the replacement but haven’t put it in A couple of lights on the dash are out I have a huge file of parts receipts and service records. I can drop the car off locally in North Jersey (let me know where), but otherwise transportation is up to you. The car is currently insured, inspected and registered, so test driving is possible. Mileage will go up slightly, as I am still driving it occasionally. |

Acura NSX to be built in Ohio in 2015
Tue, 14 May 2013Honda today confirmed that the forthcoming Acura NSX hybrid supercar will be built at a brand-new facility in Ohio. This will be the company's third plant in Ohio, and will come as the result of a $70 million investment. Honda first hinted that NSX production would be coming to Ohio when the original concept car was revealed at the 2012 Detroit Auto Show.
Honda's new facility, called the Performance Manufacturing Center, will encompass a 184,000-square foot space inside of the automaker's former North American Logistics building and will employ 100 associates. As you might expect, the Performance Manufacturing Center is located just a few miles from Honda's American-based R&D facility, as well as the Marysville auto plant, where production of the 2014 Accord Hybrid will kick off this fall.
"The location of this facility is in the midst of one of the greatest collections of engineering and production talent in the world. So it makes sense that we will renew the dream and build this high-tech, supercar in Marysville, Ohio," said Hidenobu Iwata, president and CEO of Honda of America, in a press release.
Brand new cars are being sold with defective Takata airbags
Wed, Jun 1 2016If you just bought a 2016 Audi TT, 2017 Audi R8, 2016–17 Mitsubishi i-MiEV, or 2016 Volkswagen CC, we have some unsettling news for you. A report provided to a US Senate committee that oversees the US National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) and reported on by Automotive News claims these vehicles were sold with defective Takata airbags. And it gets worse. Toyota and FCA are called out in the report for continuing to build vehicles that will need to be recalled down the line for the same issue. That's not all. The report also states that of the airbags that have been replaced already in the Takata recall campaign, 2.1 million will need to eventually be replaced again. They don't have the drying agent that prevents the degradation of the ammonium nitrate, which can lead to explosions that can destroy the airbag housing and propel metal fragments at occupants. So these airbags are out there already. We're not done yet. There's also a stockpile of about 580,000 airbags waiting to be installed in cars coming in to have their defective airbags replaced. These 580k airbags also don't have the drying agent. They'll need to be replaced down the road, too. A new vehicle with a defective Takata airbag should be safe to drive, but that margin of safety decreases with time. If all this has you spinning around in a frustrated, agitated mess, there's a silver lining that is better than it sounds. So take a breath, run your fingers through your hair, and read on. Our best evidence right now demonstrates that defective Takata airbags – those without the drying agent that prevents humidity from degrading the ammonium nitrate propellant – aren't dangerous yet. It takes a long period of time combined with high humidity for them to reach the point where they can rupture their housing and cause serious injury. It's a matter of years, not days. So a new vehicle with a defective Takata airbag should be safe to drive, but that margin of safety decreases with time – and six years seems to be about as early as the degradation happens in the worst possible scenario. All this is small comfort for the millions of people who just realized their brand-new car has a time bomb installed in the wheel or dashboard, or the owners who waited patiently to have their airbags replaced only to discover that the new airbag is probably defective in the same way (although newer and safer!) as the old one.
Honda not ready to give up on CR-Z, Civic Hybrid in US just yet
Thu, Feb 5 2015Honda has already killed off the CR-Z in Europe, so news that the car is no longer going to be sold in Australia isn't exactly a surprise. In fact, Car Advice says that both the CR-Z and the Civic Hybrid are coming to the end of the line Down Under following disappointing sales. Honda sold only 370 CR-Zs in Australia in 2012 and then 58 in 2013 and 86 in 2014. These cancellations got us thinking: what does the future look like for these vehicles in the US? Well, stateside, CR-Z sales dropped almost 20 percent in 2014, compared to 2013, to 3,562 units. The Civic Hybrid sold just 5,070 units, a drop of almost 35 percent. Both of these vehicles use the aging Integrated Motor Assist (IMA) mild hybrid system, which the company's other hybrids (like the Accord) do not. Does that mean Honda hybrid fans will soon no longer be able to buy a CR-Z or Civic Hybrid? Not so fast, says Angie Nucci, Honda PR's senior environment and safety specialist. "The 2015 CR-Z went on-sale in early October and the 2015 Civic Hybrid went on-sale the following month in November," Nucci said. "Since these vehicles went on-sale fairly recently, it is simply too early to discuss future models at this time." Still, in Australia, the CR-Z and Civic Hybrid are both officially leaving the line-up. The company say that three new "Hybrid Sport" models will be coming at some point, starting with the Accord Hybrid later this year. The next one will be the NSX and then the Jazz Hybrid. The Jazz is another name for the Fit, which we do not get in a hybrid version in the US.
