1996 Honda Civic V6 Hatchback Race Car Or Fast Street Car on 2040-cars
Lancaster, Pennsylvania, United States
|
You're bidding on a rare 1996 Honda Civic Hatchback with a full functioning 3.2 Liter V-6 from a 2003 Acura CL Type S. That engine is mostly stock with headers and 3 inch cat-less exhaust. The car has 260+ Horsepower and does have the rare limited slip diff. trans that was only available for one year in the Acura CL. The car has a custom wiring harness (everything works), hasport mounts, custom intake, custom Koyo radiator, K-Tuned traction bars for the front. The brakes are the real Civic Type R 5 Lug Swap for the front and rear and stainless brake lines. I am running custom K-Sport RR Coilovers with a upgraded sway bars and 2006 RSX Type S wheels. I had the coilovers made based on the specs of the car, weight , spring rates ext. See website for more details. For the interior I have 2 Corbeau racing seats with a 5 point harness. The roll cage is custom not a pieced together bunch of metal (Very Detailed) The hood is custom to fit the big engine. if you don't like the hood you can run hoodless or cut a oem hood. I have also heard hasport makes mounts now that will lower the engine enough to fit without the engine sticking out... I built the car for track days and have only had it to the track once. The car is a blast to drive! Its nice to have a Honda with torque. The car is street legal in PA, not sure about other states. I currently drive the car under 5000 miles so its emissions exempt. The car doesn't have a catalytic converter currently. To pass emissions it would need a o2 bung welded with a spacer and rear o2 sensor or a catalytic converter installed. I haven't had any issues with the car and consider it the most reliable car in my fleet since everything is new and the motor isn't modified. When I put the motor in I had a Acura Tech put a new timing belt/water pump and plugs just in case. You won't need to do anything to this car, you can truly buy it to drive or race. The shell had 200k on the car and the motor only had 60-70K when installed. The body is nice with no Honda rust! There are a few very minor dents on the doors and the front bumper could be painted. (Looks Pink) I may have put 2000 miles over the last few years. Feel free to ask any questions. I am sure I am missing something.

Honda boss says Chinese drivers don't want green cars
Wed, 24 Apr 2013According to The Wall Street Journal, Honda CEO Takanobu Ito believes that China's nascent car-buying demographic isn't all that interested in hybrid cars - at least not yet. The emissions story doesn't resonate with them, and certainly not for the higher purchase premium such models usually carry. What they really want, Ito believes, is reliable, affordable cars that fit their needs. When it comes to Honda sales, the numbers would appear to jibe with his thoughts: Honda sold 598,577 vehicles in China last year through its two joint ventures, yet just 542 of them were hybrids - not even a tenth of a percent. However, Toyota sold 840,500 cars in China last year, and two percent of that total, 17,300 units, were hybrids, which is closer to the still-piddling three-percent ratio of sales that Toyota posted in the US last year.
Honda offers the Insight, Fit Hybrid and CR-Z in China and plans to make components for its Integrated Motor Assist hybrid system there from next year, the hope being it will reduce the cost of hybrid cars for local buyers. That was one part of the plan Honda laid out last year to popularize its IMA system in China. Other initiatives include the introduction of a new hybrid system for mid-sized and large vehicles and a plug-in hybrid. Among the four new vehicles Honda showed during this weekend's press day for the Shanghai Motor Show (including the Concept M minivan pictured above) there was not a single hybrid among them.
2015 Honda HR-V looks fit for the urban jungle
Thu, 17 Apr 2014Honda has been teasing us with the looks of its Fit-based compact crossover for months. Now the production version, dubbed the HR-V in the US, has finally been unveiled - in photographic form, at any rate - at the 2014 New York Auto Show. The CUV will slot into the brand's range this winter, and at the moment the company is keeping mum on many details about the new model.
The HR-V looks almost identical to the Urban SUV Concept unveiled at the Detroit Auto Show. The concept wore some nifty LED headlights and bigger wheels, but the rest of the styling has carried over to production. The handsome CUV sports diamond-shaped headlights, and a center bar splits the grille into two tiers. It has the same swoosh down the side running to the C-pillar, but it appears slightly less pronounced than in Detroit. The rear door handles are also hidden in the back pillar.
The compact crossover rides on the same platform as the new Fit. That allows it to take full advantage of the compact's highly versatile interior. The HR-V comes with Honda's Magic Seat that allows the back row to fold flat into the floor when needed.
Japanese automakers ramping production for renewed American sales
Wed, 21 Nov 2012The 2011 earthquake and tsunami that struck Japan took quite the toll on the automotive industry in that nation. Not content to lean on that tragedy as excuse for slagging sales, the Japanese automakers are planning on a major production expansion in North America. The aim is to reclaim the market share lost from the Tsunami-based dip, and overcome a dollar/yen exchange rate that makes exporting to America unprofitable.
Following the Tsunami, Japanese automakers ramped up production in their North American facilities to compensate, but according to Automotive News, Nissan, Honda and others have all reported plans for still-further increased production in the year ahead. As part of this ramp-up, Mazda will open a facility in Salamnca, Mexico before March of 2014. Part of that increase in output is 50,000 units of a Toyota-badged compact car, which Mazda will produce.
Other Mexican production facilities opening include a Honda plant, which will open in Spring 2014 in Celaya, and a Nissan plant, set to open later this year in Aguascalientes. Nissan also said that it will need another plant in North America within the next five years. According to Nissan Boss Carlos Ghosn, the company aims to raise its stake in the US market from 8 percent to 10, and adding production will help achieve that goal. Even Mitsubishi is aiming to boost production at its Normal, Illinois plant. Production of the Outlander Sport is currently at 50,000, which Mitsubishi wants to raise to 70,000.
