Like the title says, I’m selling my 1997 Honda Civic H/B, I was actually in the middle of a build (I’m ASE certified so you know it’s not just thrown together); I bought and dropped in a 1999 Integra B18B1 (LS motor) from Ace AA Used Auto Parts, but not before I took it apart and rebuilt the whole engine, there isn’t even a mile on this engine. Here’s a list of everything that I’ve done to the car since I started the build. And might I add, since the rebuild I have not even drove it a full mile, also the Civic has a new 6 puck stage 3 racing clutch from F1 Racing that still hasn’t been broken in yet.

ASE (Automotive Service Excellence) certified so you know that nothing was just thrown together, I took my time. I didn’t get to the outside or the inside of the car, which was going to be next, I took off all the bumpers, the hood and fenders because I was going to get them new, but threw all the old ones back on, the passenger side fender I broke (since it’s fiberglass, while I was leaning under the hood working on the swap.) If you are looking for a perfect body you will be sorely disappointed when you see it, like the condition says, it can use a paint job bumpers and fenders, if you're going OEM a hood too. This Civic was meant for racing, so if you're looking for an everyday driver with a/c this isn't it, I took off the a/c compressor, it works perfectly fine and I will give it to you, but you will have to purchase a bracket. It’s $2,500 without the stereo system, $3,000 with the stereo system.

***UPDATE*** The engine now has 15 miles on it due to test drives. I work on who brings the money first gets the car, so don't come test drive and ask me if I can hold the car for you until you can get all of the money in a week. I'm not changing the price so don't purchase it here for one price, get here and try to haggle me down, it will not work; KBB has this engine in good condition at $4,900 so with that and all of the new parts on the car you're getting a great deal.

Honda rolls out six-seat Jade Hybrid wagon in Japan

Wed, Jan 14 2015

Honda has tried its hand at making hybrids of all shapes and sizes – whether dedicated or adapted to partial electric propulsion. There was the original two-seat Insight, the five-passenger Insight that followed, the 2+2 CR-Z hatchback and the hybrid version of the Vezel crossover Â– to say nothing of hybrid versions of the Civic and Accord. And now there's one more... in Japan, anyway. That would be the Jade, a wagon developed for the Chinese market but which Honda is now bringing home for the JDM, with a few key differences. For starters, while the Civic-based, low-slung wagon/minivan is produced under joint venture with Dongfeng principally in five-seat configuration, the Japanese version is being offered with three rows of two seats each for a total of (you guessed it) six chairs. The six-seat configuration, also offered on the conventional Chinese-market model, does away with the middle seat in the middle row in favor of more elbow room. The JDM Jade is also ditching the conventional 1.8-liter inline four in favor of the 1.5-liter hybrid and seven-speed DCT from the Vezel and Fit hybrids. Now if we could just get it Stateside with the Civic Type R engine, we could have a real sleek power wagon on our hands that would make us forget all about the Seat Leon ST Cupra unveiled just last week and let us play British touring car champion on our daily commute.

Honda Civic Wagon Concept to debut at Geneva

Wed, 06 Feb 2013

Honda is getting warmed up for the upcoming Geneva Motor Show, with a sketch of some very Euro-flavored forbidden fruit. Seen above (click on the image to see an expanded view) is the Honda Civic Wagon Concept Model - a rather tentative name for a car that Honda claims "provides strong cues for the exterior design of the final mass produced version."
The sketch seen here is obviously very stylized, but we think that if Honda can stay true to its sleek rounded forms and aggressive silhouette, the final product could be quite fetching. Note that this is an image handed out by Honda of Europe, for a European auto show - we have every expectation that that any production-ready Civic wagon will be a Europe-only deal. Sorry, guys.
Find Honda's brief press release below, which also includes news of the European debut of the updated NSX Concept we saw at January's Detroit Auto Show, along with a diesel-powered CR-V.
