2001 Honda Civic Lx W/ New Front Tires, Front Suspension, Brakes & Rotors! on 2040-cars
Baltimore, Maryland, United States
|
2001 Honda Civic LX 1.7L, 5 SPD manual transmission with 168,156 miles. This car has been well maintained. Recently, the check engine light became illuminated so I changed the upstream O2 sensor. I later discovered that it was the downstream O2 sensor. So, I replaced the downstream sensor as well. In addition, when I was replacing the brake pads recently I noticed that the lower control arm bushings were totally blown out on both sides of the car. So, I replaced the lower control arms, lower ball joints, and sway bar links on both sides (see pictures). Of note, the lower ball joints were professionally pressed in at my local shop. I also decided to replace both front brake rotors with new Bendix brake rotors. Also, the timing belt and water pump was changed at around 125,000 miles. The battery is about a year old Sears Diehard. When I replaced the battery, last year I also replaced the alternator. The spark plugs were replaced with new NGK plugs last month. So, this car is driving like a new car right now and feels very good. I also recently purchased outer tie rods for both sides. However, the old tie rods appear to still be in good condition. I will provide the new tie rods to the winning bidder. I would recommend getting an alignment once the outer tie rods are done. The front tires are new BF Goodrich Traction TA 185-65-14. The rear tires are also BF Goodrich Traction TA tires with about 60% tread life left. The Motegi wheels were purchased at Sears and are in good condition with some curb rash. The transmission and clutch are working well. The only issue is that for some odd reason, the gears feel harder to shift in colder weather. It seems to be a common issue with Hondas. I had a shop check it out and all is well. There are some scratches, 1 area where some rust has started and the right rear quarter panel got dinged in a parking lot a few months ago (see pictures). All of these issues are merely cosmetic and I attempted to fix the right rear quarter panel by pushing it out from inside the trunk. There is only a slight separation between the quarter panel and the rear bumper cover which is hardly noticeable. I also recently reconditioned the headlights so that's why they look so good in the pictures. Of note, the Yakima roof rack is not included. I'm only selling because I recently purchased a 2006 Scion TC and I have too many cars right now. I am the second owner and purchased it in June 2009. I have receipts for all wok done. This is a very reliable car and has always started as long as I have owned it. The only time it didn't start is when I changed the battery a year ago. This is a no reserve auction. Questions are welcomed.

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.
eBay Find of the Day: Why this motorcycle's a deal at $135k
Mon, 10 Feb 2014There can be no doubt that Soichiro Honda left a lasting legacy by lending his engineering talents to the company that bears his name. This can be said particularly of motorcycles, and the company outdid itself when it introduced the 1969 CB750. Widely considered the world's first superbike, it combined a then-powerful 67-horsepower, 736cc, inline four-cylinder engine and cutting edge tech for motorcycles at the time like an electric start and front disc brake. It is simply one of the most important motorcycles ever made, and now one of four handmade prototypes is up for auction on eBay Motors.
According to the seller, Honda had an idea that it had something special with the CB750 and built four preproduction models to be shown off to American media in 1968. Each one was hand-built by Honda technicians from bespoke components, and this blue/green model was photographed by magazines and for promotional material at the time. The seller believes that one of the four prototypes was destroyed, one is in Europe and one is unknown, which means this may be the only chance for collectors to get their hands on one.
The bike has prompted quite a bidding war with 97 bids registered as of this writing. With about seven hours left to go in the auction, the top big currently sits at $135,300. At this rate, things could get very exciting at the end. Although to own a prototype for the first super bike, it might be worth it.
Cafe racer motorbikes storm Japan
Fri, 22 Nov 2013Japan may be best known, at least among motorcycle enthusiasts, for its sport bikes. But as we found at the Tokyo Motor Show this year, Japanese motorcycle manufacturers are capable of producing all kinds of motorbikes. And to our delight, that includes cafe racers.
Along with the myriad electric bikes, dirt bikes, crotch rockets and scooters, the halls of Tokyo's Big Site convention center this year were full of the retro-infused rides we love. Chief among them was the Bolt (shown above) which Yamaha exhibited alongside their various electric two-wheelers, sporting a delicious metallic blue paintjob, inverted handlebars and hanging mirrors, machined metal bits, blacked-out trim and saddle brown leatherwork.
Honda was also on hand with a new EX version of its '70s-style CB1100 retro roadster in sinister and low-key matte black. And this was our first chance to check out BMW Motorrad's new birthday present to its 90-year-old self, the R NineT, a model recently unveiled at the EICMA motorcycle show in Milan. But one of the most amusing retro rides we came across was the Honda Monkey Limited, a mini bike that makes the new 125cc Grom (which was displayed alongside it) look positively gigantic.
