Hi

Selling this Vehicle - 1997 Honda Accord EX V-tec Engine in fair to good shape, in different areas.

What's Good: Engine, transmission, interior, functions, tires, windows.
What Could use some work: Some scratches, few small rust spots (one on hood, and quarter panels), ABS not working, it tries to start (buzzes) then quits and light comes on, missing door lock (where the key goes in) on passenger side, passenger side rear view mirror has cracks (but has a convex on for full use), CEL on: The car gives code 65 on diagnosis - which mean it needs the secondary 02 sensor. Now the car has a new exhaust without a CATCON (its over 15 years, so it technically does not need a CATCON). The CEL may remain on even after replacing the O2. The engine otherwise is fine and quiet for its age.
Major issues: None.

See good points/highlights below.
  • EX V-Tech F22B1 engine, one of Honda's best.
  • Original Paint, never in an accident, drives straight.
  • Oil changed, Air filter changed on April 23. Timing belt was done approximately 4000 miles ago.
  • 2.2 L Four Cylinder 5-speed standard.
  • Engine, Transmission, Clutch in great condition, runs strong.
  • Idles steady, shifts smooth, accelerates very nice.
  • No leaks overnight.
  • Body in fair shape.
  • Interior in great shape.
  • Honda original cassette radio, great sound.
  • Good condition on tires. Two almost new. Doughnut spare with full tread.
  • 1455XX miles. 
  • A/c works good. 
  • Powered windows, mirror, sunroof, moon roof, cruise control, wiper, wiper washer, all lights everything in working order. etc. - All working.
  • Windows roll nice and smooth.
  • All switches work nice and strong.
  • Power seat height adjustment. works, lumbar support works.
  • The car shows little sign of use in the interior compared to its age and miles. Most of the miles are highway.
  • Originally a MA car for initial years, that explains the little rust spots.
Thank you and buy with confidence.

Snapshots from Acura NSX prototype run at Mid-Ohio

Mon, 05 Aug 2013

Acura's achingly slow showing of the new, hybrid NSX saw yet another step yesterday, as we reported late last week. A powder-blue prototype ran ahead of the open-wheelers at the Honda Indy 200 at the Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course. Why show the NSX Prototype at Mid-Ohio? Honda's Ohio research and development center, which has taken the lead on NSX development, is just 60 miles from the track. And as race sponsor, Honda must have figured it would give the spectators a glimpse of the new supercar it's been teasing for the better part of a decade.
With a planned launch in 2015 (special emphasis on the "planned" part, considering the NSX's history), the NSX Prototype shown here sports graphics that "speak to Acura's intention to go racing with the new NSX." That's great news for fans of endurance racing, although it remains to be seen when a motorsports program for the new NSX will get off the ground.
Take a look at the fresh gallery of images, and be sure to head over to our original Mid-Ohio post for the video footage of the NSX Prototype on track.

Glickenhaus's SCG 003 to pack twin-turbo Honda V6?

Tue, 26 Aug 2014

Scuderia Cameron Glickenhaus has made (or commissioned) two vehicles to date - the P4/5 and the P4/5 Competizione - and is now hard at work on its third. The first was based on the Ferrari Enzo and the second on a Ferrari F430, but the third is being developed independently from the ground up. The question, then, is what engine will it use?
Well now we may have our answer as Jalopnik reports that the SCG 003 (as it's known at the moment) will be powered by a 3.5-liter V6 sourced from Honda, fitted with twin turbochargers and producing in excess of 500 horsepower.
Honda's J35Y engine produces 278 horsepower in the Accord, 290 hp in the Acura MDX and 310 hp in the RLX. It also forms the basis for the HR35TT racing engine which Honda Performance Development puts in its Daytona Prototype, so if the rumors turn out to be true, chances are that's probably the engine in question - with the possible addition of a hybrid electric assist - but we'll have to sit tight to find out for sure.

Honda recalling 25k Odyssey minivans over side curtain airbags

Fri, 02 May 2014

Honda's refreshed 2014 Odyssey (now with 100-percent more vacuum power!) launched last year, but is now being called back for issues related to the side curtain airbags. According to Honda, 24,889 Odyssey minivans are affected by an issue that may cause the Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) warning light to illuminate or, even worse, cause the side airbags to not deploy in a crash.
What went wrong, exactly? We'll let Honda explain:
During assembly of the electrical coupler for the side curtain airbag on the passenger's side of the vehicle, it is possible that the shorting terminal, which is used to prevent deployment of the airbag before it is assembled into the vehicle, may have been damaged. A damaged shorting terminal may illuminate the Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) indicator as well as prevent the side curtain airbag from deploying during a crash, increasing the risk of injury.
