1999 Honda Civic Ex Coupe 2-door 1.6l on 2040-cars
Harleysville, Pennsylvania, United States

For sale my 1999 civic EX. I have owned the car for 5 years and have never had any major issues with it.
I just put a timing belt on it as well as a water pump 10,000 miles ago. New brakes front and back within the last year. Everything works on the car: power steering, power locks, power windows, sun roof, CD player, cruise etc. AC I haven't used in several months but it did work last time I used it although the compressor belt squealed a bit and needs to be tightened. Never had to recharge it in the 5 years I owned the car. I've done all my own work to this car so far. The transmission shifts well, and has shifted the same way it does now since I bought the car. I change that fluid every 30k. The motor runs great, no issues there either. The shifter is a little stiff sometimes (probably the coffee I spilled on it). Car gets good gas mileage. New battery. There are some issues to speak of, and here's the story on that. I recently moved from NJ to PA and put the car into inspection. The front end and brakes all checked out (although I do feel some pulsing in them, probably a warped rotor). They did an alignment. Because the windshield has a circle blemish from a stone hitting it, as well as a long crack, they wanted to replace it. The rear right tire also is out of alighment, and they wanted to replace some bushings to get it right. It does pull to the right because of that. Last, where the muffler mates up with the B pipe, there is an exhuast leak and really it needs to be welded, patched or replaced to pass (otherwise I would just leave it). You can hear it, its noticeable but not super loud. Back before I moved out to PA I had a garage and I would just do this myself in an afternoon, but now I live at an apartment complex and you can't even open your hood without somebody calling the office, so I haven't touched anything. I commute 200 miles a day, so this car was my answer to banging out those miles on a car I figured wasn't going to suffer much in value by putting a bunch more miles on it. Because the inspection is going to cause me to spend money on the car, I decided to sell it. I'm reasonably confident it would pass NJ inspection without much trouble. Summary: Everything works. Runs great, shifts well. Has been well maintained. Body is ok, has dents. Missing a couple of hubcovers. looks ok in a parkinglot. Interior pretty good, seats are almost perfect, floor has some stains. Does need some work: Needs rear alignment parts (bushings on trailing arm I'm told). Has exhaust leak at muffler to b pipe area (which by the way I made a shade tree fix to in a friend's driveway which will hold out for probably as long as you need it to). Windshield is cracked and blemished. One other thing, the previous owner had (a rather annoying) alarm system that I removed from the car. For whatever reason, any time you open the door to the car it makes the "you left your keys in the ignition" chime. Could probably figure out why, I never bothered. If I were the next guy to own this car and I had to pass PA inspection, I'd get a junkyard windshield, patch the B pipe and repair the rear alignment myself. If other state inspection, I'd probably forget about everything but the alignment and just drive it. This car has a lot of life left in it. Feel free to ask any questions. |

Acura NSX production car headed for Detroit debut?
Tue, 23 Oct 2012Auto Express is reporting that Honda is set to unveil the production version of its upcoming Acura NSX at the 2013 Detroit Auto Show. The news comes courtesy of an unnamed "top exec" for Honda Brazil speaking at the Sao Paulo Motor Show. The concept version of the Japanese supercar is currently on display there. Interestingly enough, the same unnamed source claims the production iteration will remain aesthetically identical to the show car. You won't hear any qualms from us on that front.
Of course, the timing of the production debut is a little confusing. For starters, when Acura unveiled the concept last year, the company told the world it would be at least three years before production began. That would give the street-worthy model a 2014 or 2015 designation, the latter being cited more often in media accounts. Thus, we'll keep an eye out for the hybrid supercar in Motown, but we're going to stop short of holding our breath... it might be a while.
Kayaba, Sumitomo to pay millions for price-fixing in US
Sat, Sep 19 2015Kayaba Industry Co, which does business in the US as suspension parts maker KYB, and Sumitomo Electric Industries are facing payments in the millions to settle price-fixing cases about the components that they make. As part of the Department of Justice's ongoing crackdown of price fixing in the auto industry, KYB agreed to pay $62 million and pleaded guilty to conspiracy to set the cost of shock absorbers from the mid '90s through 2012. The company allegedly worked with co-conspirators to keep the cost of the parts high, and those components then made it into vehicles from Honda, Kawasaki, Nissan, Subaru, Suzuki, and Toyota. "Any collusive agreement among competitors to restrict price competition undercuts our free enterprise system and violates the law," said Carter M. Stewart, US Attorney of the Southern District of Ohio, in the DoJ's announcement. Over the past few years, the DoJ has brought cases against 37 parts suppliers and 55 executives, leading to over $2.6 billion in fines. The investigations haven't always been so successful – some of the Japanese execs fled from the US to avoid prosecution. Critics allege that price fixing is simply how business is done. According to Automotive News, Sumitomo Electric Industries is also facing a $50 million settlement in a civil lawsuit that's related to price fixing of parts like wiring harnesses and heater control panels. The plaintiffs include owners and dealers that purchased vehicles with these parts. The company asserts that the violations are from before 2010, and it now has different process in place to avoid further violations. KYB Agrees to Plead Guilty and Pay $62 Million Criminal Fine for Fixing Price of Shock Absorbers Kayaba Industry Co. Ltd., dba KYB Corporation (KYB) has agreed to plead guilty and to pay a $62 million criminal fine for its role in a conspiracy to fix the price of shock absorbers installed in cars and motorcycles sold to U.S. consumers. According to charges filed today, KYB conspired from the mid-1990s until 2012 to fix the prices of shock absorbers sold to Fuji Heavy Industries Ltd. (manufacturer of Subaru vehicles), Honda Motor Co. Ltd., Kawasaki Heavy Industries Ltd., Nissan Motor Company Ltd., Suzuki Motor Corporation and Toyota Motor Company, including their subsidiaries in the United States.
Red Bull F1 denied access to Honda engines
Sun, Oct 25 2015There are four engine manufacturers in Formula 1: Ferrari, Honda, Mercedes-Benz, and Renault. Infiniti Red Bull Racing ended its marriage to Renault, got to the altar with Mercedes and then Mercedes backed out, couldn't even agree on a pre-nup with Ferrari, and Honda flat-out said, "No." At the moment that has left the four-time World Champions without an engine for next year, owner Dieter Mateschitz threatening to take his two teams and four cars out of the sport, and F1 honcho Bernie Ecclestone threatening to sue Mateschitz if he does. The Japanese company had turned down the idea because after a first year with some poor performances and a few public sour notes, it wants to get McLaren's cars running properly before it expands its operation. Now it seems some behind-the-scenes action of late has opened up channels between Red Bull and Honda, and the two are at least talking. Honda, though, still says such a deal is highly unlikely at best, and Red Bull says it will have something to say when something is done. It appears that McLaren chief Ron Dennis, however, has vetoed the idea. Ecclestone says Honda made a deal with the FIA that would allow Honda to supply two teams in its second year, but Honda gave Dennis veto rights over who the second team would be. For the same reason that Mercedes backed out and Ferrari only wanted to sell Red Bull year-old engines, Ecclestone says Dennis might view Red Bull as a competitor and doesn't want to risk two more cars getting in front of his own. If that's the case and Red Bull is going to remain in the sport, it might need to hit the flower shop and book a trip to Renault headquarters. Soon. Related Video:
