Hey everybody. I've got just a beautiful original 1988 Honda Civic DX Hatchback for sale for you folks today. This car is absolutely fantastic, all-original, never abused, garaged since new...basically any positive attribute of a vehicle you can ascribe to a car you can ascribe to this one.

I purchased the vehicle from a friend of mine's mother, who has owned it since new. She doesn't drive anymore, and he knows I like a little project, so he offered me the vehicle. We had the vehicle towed out of the garage where it has spent it's entire life, since the day she brought it home from Majestic Honda, right here in Rhode Island, in 1988.

This is a real little-old-lady owned car. She drove the vehicle to pick the grandkids up from school, and to church on Sundays...sounds like a total cliche, but that's the story of this Civic.

I had to do a few repairs of the vehicle, namely a new battery and alternator, a new fuel pump, and new rear window gas struts. With those, the car is good to go. Runs beautiful, transmission shifts great, stops and turns like it should. Oh, I also did an oil change. The oil in it looked pretty good, but hey, better safe than sorry right?

This car is a time capsule, friends. To a time where a passenger side mirror was an option. To a time where power windows weren't even available. And to a time before cars were built down to a price...this little car is solid as a tank. The doors shut as solidly as the ones on my Audi, just a nice ka-thunk noise...no rattling here. Oh, and there is absolutely zero rust on the undercarriage.

Not a single crack in the dashboard, no wear to the steering wheel. Actually, tell you what, I'll tell you the things that aren't perfect on the vehicle, because that's a shorter list.

On the outside of the car, there are two small issues. One is a minor crease, right above the passenger side rear tire. The other is three little spots of surface rust on the driver's side, ahead of the rear wheel. I've included pictures of both. There are also two scratches on the driver's side door, looks like maybe Grandma missed with the key a few times. There's no rust in the scratches, and can be easily touched up.

There is one wear spot on the bolster of the driver's side seat, visable in one of the pictures.

The tires all have good tread, but one doesn't match.

The car needs a good detail job both inside and out to be cherry.

The car is actually equipped with a rear window wiper and defroster...and interesting choice given the lack of a passenger side mirror, but whatever. They both work.

I can see this car going three ways. Option 1, you want a really clean Civic as a daily driver to get you 30+ MPG. Option 2, you collect vintage Hondas and it would be a great part of your collection. Option 3, you're an import tuner and you want a super solid unmolested EF Civic for your canvas. It's awesome for all of those, and really for anything else you want it for.

I've got a bunch more pictures of the vehicle, so if you want to see something besides the pictures I've put up, let me know...I'm sure I can oblige you. I have registered the car here in RI which is what I have to do to be able to re-sell it. RI does not title cars older than 2001, so it will be sold with the current registration and a Bill of Sale. I do however have the original title for the car which will be included along with the original owners manual and, get this, 2 factory keys!!!! It bugs me when you buy a 3 year old car and you can't even get 2 keys but this sale is done right.

Thanks for looking, and good luck bidding.

2014 Honda Civic Coupe

Wed, 20 Nov 2013

Honda lifted the covers off its refreshed Civic Coupe at SEMA earlier this month, showing off its updated styling and redesigned 18-inch wheels, but didn't unveil its interior or mechanical upgrades until today at the LA Auto Show. Eager to show off its latest arrival, Honda allowed me to check out and drive the new coupe a few weeks ago.
The interior, which was hidden beneath heavily tinted glass at SEMA, features new colors, upgraded seating materials and new technology. The interior themes are now more color coordinated and feature upgraded Tricot soft weave. Black is the standard interior color, with a choice of black or gray seats. A new display audio system is also found on the EX/EX-L trims. The seven-inch capacitive-touch screen, with a matte finish to reduce the annoyance of greasy fingerprint marks, allows users to not only tap once for a function, but to double-tap, slide, flick and pinch - as if they are using a familiar smartphone or tablet. The new infotainment interface not only accepts USB and Bluetooth data exchange, but has also been configured with HDMI for future upgrades. Some of you may have also noticed the exterior mirrors on the SEMA car, as they were fitted with cameras for Honda's blind spot minimizing Lanewatch system. It is now offered on the Civic Coupe for EX trims and above.
Mechanically, the new Civic Coupe rides on an upgraded suspension system that features revised spring rates (front up by four percent, rear up by three percent), a stiffer rear stabilizer (up by 25 percent) and larger 16-inch wheels (wearing 205/55R16 tires). The engineering objective was to improve handling and responsiveness while flattening cornering. According to Honda, the tweaks should give the Civic Coupe better linear steering feel than either the Hyundai Elantra or the Ford Focus.

Acura NSX GT3 non-hybrid racecar on sale soon

Thu, Jul 27 2017

Just over a year ago, Acura debuted the NSX GT3, the FIA GT3-spec racecar based on the automaker's latest and greatest. While it took years for the road car to hit the streets, the NSX GT3 was developed in a relatively short amount of time. This year, the car competed in several races under the factory banner, racking up 50,000 miles and two race victories. Today, Honda and Acura announced the NSX GT3 will go on sale for private teams. Think of the NSX GT3 as a stripped out version of the standard NSX sans hybrid system. The 3.5-liter twin-turbo remains, but, since there are no electric motors up front, all the power is sent to the rear wheels through a XTRAC semi-automatic 6-speed sequential transmission. The chassis is built in Ohio right alongside the regular NSX. The same goes for the engines. The block, heads, valve train, crankshaft, pistons, and dry-sump lubrication system are the same specification as the production car. Final assembly is completed in Italy. This past year, the NSX GT3 competed under the Acura banner in the WeatherTech SportsCar Championship GTD class and the Pirelli World Challenge GT category. In addition to those series, the car is built to compete in the Blancpain GT Series and 24 Hours Nurburgring in Europe, the Super GT GT300 class in Japan, as well as other GT3-spec race series. Different divisions of Honda will be handling global sales, with HPD responsible for the North American market. US pricing hasn't been announced, but converting the European models start at about $545,000. Now we just want to see a lightened, non-hybrid version of the NSX on the street.
