I purchased this car in July of 2011 from a dealer in Missouri.  After purchasing the car I had my local Honda Dealer go through all of the items that would need to be repaired now or in the near future to ensure that the car would be reliable.  I have all of the receipts from the work I have had done to the car.  All of the parts are Honda Original Equipment and have been installed by the dealer.  The IMA Battery was replaced on 3/14/11 when the car had 70,989 miles on it.  The only reason I am selling the car is because we need something with four doors.  With gas prices approaching $4.00 for Regular Unleaded the car will quickly save you a significant amount of money in fuel.  My best trip was from Austin, TX to Dallas, TX with 72.1 MPG, with around town driving I typically get about 56 MPG.  These are real world numbers.  There are several modifications that can be made to these cars that allow you to get significantly better numbers.  The car has the original OEM Honda Cassette deck but includes upgraded POLK speakers (I also have the original speakers which will be included, and the new speakers were a directly fit with no modifications required to the car) there is also a Blitzsafe Honda adapter which allows you to connect a portable MP3 player or your phone to the radio.  This car also has the leather wrapped steering wheel from an Acura installed.  This car also includes a grid charger which I have only used four times, anytime I am out of town for more than a week I would put the grid charger on a timer.  Title in hand, this car is ready to go!

Pros

Acura RSX Leather Wrapped Steering Wheel Installed

Two recently installed Bridgestone RE92 tires (all tires are Bridgestone RE92) this is the only tire you want on this car

Extra OEM Wheel I have a total of five (5) full size OEM wheels plus the spare, all full size wheels are outfitted with Bridgestone RE92 tires. All 5 are included in the auction.

Upgraded Polk Speakers (perfect OEM fit - no modifications made to the car to install them), Original Speakers also included.

Blitzsafe Honda Adapter for attaching an mp3 player or cell phone

Always serviced by Honda Dealer with Genuine Honda Parts

Rare 5-speed Transmisison

LOW Miles

Hybrid Battery replaced less than 9,000 miles ago

Grid Charger installed

I have removed and cleaned out the EGR Plate (a common problem on the Insight), last year I installed new Honda OEM Spark Plugs (correctly matched for each cylinder), new Cabin and engine Air Filters.

Documented Service History, Clean CarFax

This car has the rear-wiper delete, the original wiper and motor will be included.

All new under-engine cover (Most cars are missing the under engine/under body cover panels, when I bought this car they were missing.  I replaced all of them, it had a noticeable difference on fuel economy)

Cons

There are some scratches on the drivers side wheel cover, I bought another wheel cover but it too would need to be repainted. I will include the additional wheel cover. Because I had planned on either replacing or repainting the wheel cover I also bought the black trim stickers for both sides from Honda, which I will include.

Heat shield on Catalytic Coverter rusted (Strange because the rest of the undercarriage looks great, the heat shield however was made out of steel and has rusted.  It has no impact on the operation of the car and to be clear its just the heat shield that is rusted, not the catalytic converter).

This is a two-seat car

Blemish in passenger seat cover (I bought another perfect seat cover that I am including if the blemish bothers you you can replace the seat cover I also have the pins that are required)

Hole under drivers side carpet.  (Honda no longer sells the drivers side floor mat, so most of these cars end up with a hole in the drivers side floor.  I have another used carpet that I am including if you decide to replace the existing carpet, Honda also no longer sells the carpet for this car.)

I also have one new Honda OEM Oil Filter, and 2.6 Quarts of Mobil 1 Synthetic Oil for your next oil change that I will include. This car only uses 2.6 Quarts of Oil.

Recently Completed Service History

On July 25, 2011 I had First Texas Honda do an Oil Change, Transmission Oil Change, and Coolant Service when they did the Texas State Inspection.  At this time I also asked the dealer if they could inspect the battery and they told me that it was replaced on 3/14/11.  Here is the receipt http://nptrental.com/Insight/2011-07-25_First_Texas_Honda.PDF

On July 26, 2011 I purchased a new passenger floor mat, misc bolts/screws/nuts, and a new EGR. Here is the receipt http://nptrental.com/Insight/2011-07-25_First_Texas_Honda.PDF

On August 22, 2011 Due to a Service Bulletin Honda Installed a New PCM 37820-PCM-HON this was done under warranty http://nptrental.com/Insight/2011-08-22_First_Texas_Honda.PDF

On October 9, 2011 I ordered a PCV valve, and Air Conditioner/Alternator belt.  Here is the receipt http://nptrental.com/Insight/2011-10-09_Majestic_Honda_Parts.PDF

On Novermber 12, 2011 I purchased two Bridgestone Original Equipment RE92 tires and had them mounted and balanced by the Honda Dealer, I also had the car aligned at the time.  Here is the receipt http://nptrental.com/Insight/2011-11-12_First_Texas_Honda.PDF

On May 25, 2012 Replaced the motor mount, fixed A/C leak, recharged A/C, fixed rattling heat shield.  http://nptrental.com/Insight/2012-05-25_First_Texas_Honda.PDF

GoPro learned to hoop from Meadowlark Lemon

Wed, 23 Apr 2014

Wait, wait, wait. We promise that there's something to do with cars in this story. Really, there is. It also, though, features some basketball antics. And the entire thing is possible thanks to the magic that is the GoPro.
Strategically situated, the little cameras capture David Kalb, a master when it comes to making trick basketball shots. This time, he's showing just what he can do when launching balls through the sunroof of a Honda Civic. That includes dribbling and sinking a layup (although we think he may have traveled when driving to the net).
Take a look below for the video, and let us know what you think of Kalb's tricks down in Comments.

Recharge Wrap-up: Honda FCV Concept comes to Detroit, Toyota seeks young green energy fellows

Thu, Dec 18 2014

Honda will bring its FCV Concept to the 2015 North American International Auto Show in Detroit in January. The hydrogen-powered concept made its Japanese debut in November, and will now make its way to North America for the first time. The FCV concept improves upon the design of the FCX Clarity with a more striking appearance and roomier interior. Its smaller powertrain packaging means more space for people, and the FCV Concept seats five passengers. Honda also expects the next-generation fuel-cell car, which is scheduled to go on sale in Japan in March 2016, to cost less and have a range of over 300 miles. Read more in the press release below. The Mercedes-Benz B-Class Electric Drive has been awarded an environmental certificate from the TUV Sud technical inspection authority. The certificate is based not just on the vehicle's operation, but the entire lifecycle of the car, including production and recycling. The B-Class Electric Drive produces 24 percent less CO2 over its lifecycle than the Mercedes-Benz B180 when using the EU electricity mix, and 64 percent less when powered by hydroelectricity. Mercedes credits not just the use of electricity, but also the car's energy management system - such as its radar-based regenerative braking - for its carbon reductions. Read more in the press release below. Scania will test a wirelessly charged plug-in hybrid bus in Sweden. Beginning in June 2016, the bus will be put to daily use in Sodertalje. One of its stops will have a wireless charging station where the bus will recharge for six to seven minutes before continuing on its route again. The charger is located under the road surface and the bus positions itself above it to charge inductively. About $1.3 million will come from the Swedish Energy Agency to fund the test project, which could save up to 90 percent of fuel costs. If expanded to a fleet of 2,000 buses, it could save up to 13 million gallons of fuel each year. Read more at Green Car Congress, and in the press release below. Sandia National Laboratories and Linde are teaming up to expand hydrogen fueling infrastructure. The two groups have signed an agreement to research and develop new hydrogen stations, as well as ways to make fuel cell vehicles more desirable for consumers. They are looking at ways to incorporate hydrogen into existing fuel stations where possible, and make sure that it is able to be done safely.

2016 Acura NSX aimed at Ferrari 458 for the price of Audi R8

Wed, 08 Oct 2014

Acura has done a good job of keeping the next-generation NSX under the wraps for the past few months, especially after a fiery little incident during testing at the Nürburgring earlier this year. But UK's What Car? recently got a chance to speak with development boss Ted Klaus, and he unleashed a few new details about the much-anticipated supercar to make it even harder for us to wait.
Among the info was a strong estimate of the NSX's performance potential. "We have to achieve the type of acceleration that the customer is achieving with the Ferrari," said Klaus to What Car?. "More importantly we have to achieve this every day and also at the Nürburgring." Assuming Acura's supercar is as actually quick as a 458 Italia, then it could hit 60 miles per hour in around 3.5 seconds.
Klaus also claims that the wickedly fast performance could come at a relative bargain for the class. The price is reportedly being benchmarked against the Audi R8, which would put the NSX around $130,000 in the US. While hardly cheap, it would still be a healthy discount off a 458.
