91 Honda Accord Lx 4 Door Sedan Automatic Running Needs Minor Work 165k 1991 on 2040-cars
Hanover, Pennsylvania, United States
This is a 1991 Honda Accord LX 4-door sedan. It is automatic transmission with 164700 miles on it. It has the common condition for these vehicles of damaged clear coat in some areas (roof is the worst area). It is brown with tan interior except for two replaced areas. The hood has been replaced (it is dark blue) and the passenger side front quarter panel has been replaced (light beige). There are a couple of rust spots near the rear tire wells. At the moment it needs a capacitor/resistor replaced on the TCU (transmission control unit). If someone is handy this can be done for about $10 with capacitor/resistors from radio shack. I have replaced 3 on it in the past five years. The TCU itself can be replaced as well. They appear to sell for about $50 on ebay and plug in as a computer hard drive does. It does still drive with the unit not working properly, but it forces the transmission into sports mode which means you have to manually shift through the gears (On the plus side at least it doesn't strand you when it goes). The other issue at the moment is the battery. It was working when the TCU problem started, but after sitting for a week it wouldn't start. It does start when jumped so it can be driven away ok. I have put over $5,000 into the car in the past five years. Most of the work has been to the front drive train and gaskets. Replaced items include sway bar, oil pan gasket, oil cover gasket, upper ball joints, axles, rotors, plus all gears in transmission were replaced before I realized the problem was actually the TCU. It would be great for someone who can fix it up a bit. It is inspected until August. It does come with a full tank of gas. Thanks for looking.

Mugen works up 2014 Honda Fit
Fri, 06 Sep 2013It turns out the Mugen really is fast. Just yesterday we got our first official look at the JDM version of the all new Honda Fit. In both Hybrid and minty-fresh RS trim, the Japanese Fit is more complexly surfaced and angular than in any of the previous generations. Mugen has apparently been working with the new Fit body for a while, as the tuning house has just released some images and information about parts for the new hatchback.
Suddenly the original Honda styling seems somewhat restrained.
Mugen has crafted body kit parts to work with both the Hybrid and RS models, right from go. Though detailed information is still a little sparse, we're told that parts include: two types of front spoilers, a bumper and a chin spoiler, side skirts, and a carbon fiber rear wing (for the RS).
Honda S660 Concept portends a new kei car for 2015
Wed, 20 Nov 2013Apart from a tiny, one-paragraph mention in a press release about the Honda show stand in general, the company hasn't said very much about its completely charming S660 Concept. The model would seem very much to be a look ahead at a possible successor to the Beat kei car for Japanese customers, though we've been told that we shouldn't expect any kind of translation or product for the American market (despite certain key executives wanting more sports cars in the US).
Honda tells us only that the S660 roadster features "advanced styling" and "new initiatives such as Super cockpit interior." We do think that the confines of the S660 look particularly driver-focused, with a carbon fiber steering wheel clad in soft leather, very racy looking vented seats and instruments tilted to keep the pilot constantly informed.
Honda President and CEO, Takanobu Ito, also touched on the S660 in his remarks at the press conference, saying that the model "embodies the freewheeling thinking of young Honda engineers, who want to make a cool car that is unique to Honda." Takanobu also said that the concept will be developed into a production model for 2015, which is great news for Japanese drivers.
Honda gets weirdly R-Rated with new Civic Type-R launch video
Wed, 25 Jun 2014Honda is still about a year away from bringing back the Civic Type R to challenge Europe's hot hatch ranks, but the wait isn't stopping the brand from starting its promotion in the UK with a truly strange ad campaign.
Titled R-Rated, the marketing plays with the idea of Honda's Type R badge not being something for every driver, and its 60-second short film Disruption definitely isn't for everyone. The teaser video is meant to personify the spirit of the hot Civic by combining aggressively weird imagery with a glimpse of the new model. It cycles through things like a pack of wolves, androgynous models, a lady with a samurai sword and a flaming speed camera before getting to what we all want to see - the car. It's a weird, by turns creepy, video that feels like it's trying to be outlandish without always showing there's much thought behind the madness.
Perhaps the most frightening thing about the Civic Type R is that there are still major doubts about whether its 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder with an estimated 280 horsepower will make it to North Ameircan showrooms. We understand the business case may be tough, especially when the CTR's hatchback bodystyle isn't sold in America at all, but we think Honda's North American showrooms could use a bit more performance edge, and an affordable halo car like the Type R could do just that.
