IF YOU HAVE LESS THAN 10 FEEDBACK ENTRIES YOU MUST E:MAIL ME PRIOR TO BID OR I WILL DELETE BID AND BLOCK PARTICIPATION. I RESERVE RIGHT TO CANCEL BIDS AND BLOCK ANYONE I DEEM TO HAVE POOR OR DECEPTIVE FEEDBACK HISTORY. I BOUGHT THIS CAR LAST DECEMBER, IT HAS A CLEAR NON SALVAGE ARKANSAS TITLE IN MY NAME. WHEN I BOUGHT IT, IT WOULD START WITH DIFFICULTY AND WOULD NOT IDLE FOR CRAP, CARB WOULD STAY REVVED. I DRAINED THE GAS TANK, BLEW THE LINES WITH COMPRESSED AIR AND REFILLED THE TANK WITH FRESH FUEL. I ALSO INSTALLED A NEW FUEL PUMP, NEW DIST CAP, NEW NGK PLUGS, PLUG WIRES AND AIR FILTER. IT DID NOT MAKE MUCH DIFFERENCE FOR THE IDLING. I REMOVED THE CARB (WHICH TOOK ME ABOUT 4 HOURS WITH ALL THE FREAKIN VACUUM LINES). I SENT IT OFF FOR REBUILD ON 4/2014. I REINSTALLED IT TWO WEEKS AGO, PRETTY SURE I HAVE ALL THE VACUMM LINES CORRECT AS I TOOK PICS BEFORE REMOVAL AND LABELED THEM ALL WITH TAPE. USED THE FACTORY CARB PLASTIC SPACER PLATE WHICH IS IN GOOD SHAPE. IT STARTS MUCH EASIER NOW, BUT IT STILL IDLES HIGH. SOMETIMES IT WILL IDLE AROUND 1200 RPM AT START, THEN WILL SOMETIMES GO UP TO 2000 RPM, AND WHEN I HIT THE KICKDOWN, IT WILL SOMETIME GO UP EVEN HIGHER, UP TO 3K RPM. I'VE GOTTEN PRETTY SICK OF MESSING WITH IT. I THOUGHT I MIGHT HAVE THE THROTTLE LINKAGES MALADJUSTED (AS I LOOSENED THEM) BUT REALLY, I DON'T KNOW WHAT'S THE CAUSE. THE CARB EXCHANGE PRE TEST/RUN THESE CARBS ON ACTUAL ENGINES BEFORE THEY SHIP THEM, AND SO, THE IDLE IS PRE SET. I'M NOT GOING TO MONKEY AROUND WITH THE IDLE SCREWS AS I DON'T BELIEVE THAT'S THE PROBLEM, BUT I DON'T KNOW THE CAUSE. ENGINE SOUNDS FINE, NO KNOCKS OR NOISE. THIS WOULD MAKE A GREAT COMMUTER CAR WITH THE MILEAGE THESE THINGS ARE CAPABLE OF. SPEEDOMETER, TACH, WIPERS, WIPER SPRITZER, FAN, TURN SIGNALS, EMERGENCY LIGHTS ALL WORK, RADIO IN OP, I HAVE NOT CHECKED FUSEBOX. ANYWAY, I CAN ONLY RUN IT FOR A COUPLE MINUTES AS THE RADIATOR IS MISSING. I WAS GOING TO BUY A NEW ONE AT AUTOZONE ($113.00 DOLLARS) AND SEE IF THE IDLE WOULD COME DOWN AFTER IT RAN A BIT MORE, BUT I THINK I'M DONE WITH THE BEAST. AS FOR THE MECHANICALS, I HAVE ONLY RUN IT DOWN THE STREET TO MAKE SURE IT GOES THROUGH ALL GEARS AND REVERSE. IT SHIFTS SMOOTHLY AND EASILY, NO WEIRD NOISES AND THE VEHICLE DOES NOT WOBBLE OR SHIMMY. HOWEVER, UNDERSTAND, YOU ARE BUYING A VEHICLE THAT I HAVE NOT RUN FOR MORE THAN 5-6 MINUTES TOTAL OR DRIVEN MORE THAN A 1/2 MILE (BECAUSE OF THE MISSING RADIATOR). THE CORE SUPPORT WILL PROBABLY NEED A LITTLE TWEAKING TO MAKE EVERYTHING LINE UP, IT OBVIOUSLY NEEDS A NEW FRONT CAP, BUT THE DAMAGE DID NOT APPEAR TO AFFECT ANYTHING STRUCTURAL IN NATURE (AND I'VE BEEN AROUND, OVER AND UNDER IT, AND AS STATED, NO ISSUES NOTED DURING BRIEF TEST DRIVE). THERE ARE NUMEROUS, SMALL THINGS/FLAWS NEEDED ON THIS VEHICLE. HOOD IS CRINKED UNDERNEATH ON DRIVER SIDE EDGE. DOES NOT APPEAR TO BE COLLISION DAMAGE AS EDGES ARE FINE. I THINK HOOD WAS CLOSED ON TOP OF THE PROP ROD AND GOT BENT. I WAS PLANNING TO JUST HAVE A WELDING SHOP WELD A SMALL 1/8 THICK REINFORCEMENT PLATE TO IT. REAR RIGHT TAIL LIGHT IS CRACKED, BOTH BRAKE LIGHTS STAY ON CONSTANLY, THE TRUNK LID HAS SOME SMALL HOLES ON TOP WHERE THE REAR SPOILER WAS, THE DOOR PANELS HAVE SOME CRACKS AND MISSING PIECES. ALL GLASS IS GOOD, THE AC LIGHT COMES ON WHEN THE BUTTON IS PRESSED, I CANNOT TELL IF THE COMPRESSOR COMES ON. RADIATOR AND CONDENSOR ARE GONE. THERE IS SOME KIND OF FUNKY BLACK ROLL OUT COVER THAT YOU CAN EXTEND IN THE BACK HATCH. I DON'T KNOW IF IT'S FACTORY OR NOT. THE GAS DOOR AND HATCH PULL RELEASES ON FLOOR BOTH WORK. THE EXTERIOR LOWER PLASTIC SKIRTING PIECES HAVE CRACKS AND MISSING PIECES. BOTH PLASTIC FRONT FENDERS ARE CRACKED AND MISSING SOME PIECES ON EDGES. I DO HAVE THE CORNER MARKER LIGHTS WITH CONNECTORS. TIRES ARE CRACKED, THE BRAKES WORK BUT ARE WEAK, THEY PROBABLY NEED REBUILD. HOOD RELEASE LATCH IS PRESENT BUT NOT BOLTED INTO CORE SUPPORT. FLOOR PANS ARE SOLID (SEE PIC), LOOKS TO BE ORIGINAL CARPET, SEATS ETC, NO RUST THROUGH I HAVE DETECTED. THERE IS SOME KIND OF FITTING ON THE PASSENGER INNER SIDE FLOORBOARD. I HAVEN'T A CLUE WHAT IT'S FOR, THOUGHT MAYBE SOMEONE TRIED TO RUN IT ON LNG AT SOME POINT BUT I REALLY DON'T KNOW. THE BATTERY IS NOT INCLUDED. I DIDN'T BUY THE CAR WITH ONE AND THE BATTERY I'M USING IS FOR MY CAR HAULER. ASK QUESTIONS BEFORE BIDDING, I'M NOT A HONDA OR CRX EXPERT (OBVIOUSLY). IT LOOKS TO BE ALL ORIGINAL PAINT, AND I DON'T BELIEVE IT'S EVER BEEN HOT RODDED OR MODIFIED BY THE 'KID' CROWD, AS SO MANY OF THESE THINGS ARE. YOU CAN SEE THE FACTORY VIN STICKERS/PLATES ON THE CORE SUPPORT AND DOOR FRAME ARE IN PLACE. I HAVE PURCHASED SOME PARTS FOR THIS, INCLUDING A FACTORY HOOD (IF THE PROPOSED WELDING JOB DIDN'T WORK) AND PLASTIC DOOR PANELS (UNCRACKED). WINNING BIDDER CAN HAVE THEM FOR $150.00 TOTAL IF DESIRED, OR I'LL JUST LIST THEM AFTER CAR SELLS. I BELIEVE THIS CAR, WITH THIS MILEAGE, AND BEING A HF MODEL, COULD BRING 5-7K RESTORED. I ALSO BELIEVE IT WILL TAKE AT LEAST 1-2 GRAND IN PARTS/PIECES TO GET IT THERE, IF YOU CAN DO THE LABOR YOURSELF. VEHICLE MUST BE PAID FOR WITHIN 7 DAYS AUCTION END, NON REFUNDABLE DEPOSIT OF $200.00 DUE WITHIN 72 HOURS AUCTION END, BUT I CAN KEEP THE THING IN MY GARAGE WHERE IT CURRENTLY RESIDES FOR A MONTH IF NEEDED. I LIVE ON A CUL DE SAC AND A LARGE CAR HAULER CAN NOT, MAKE THE TURN AROUND AT MY HOUSE. IF YOU ARE PLANNING TO HIRE A CONTRACT SHIPPER, MAKE SURE YOU/THEY ARE AWARE OF THIS AS I WILL NOT BE RESPONSIBLE FOR LOADING OR HELPING TO LOAD A CONTRACT SHIPPER. I WILL POINT TO THE CAR AND SAY, 'THERE IT IS'. (I HAVE NO ISSUE HELPING A PRIVATE INDIVIDUAL LOAD, BUT I'VE HAD SOME BAD EXPERIENCES WITH PAID BID/BOARD JACKA** CONTACT SHIPPERS. |

Recharge Wrap-up: Honda releases "Green Dealer" Guide, Tesla's China president steps down
Fri, Dec 12 2014Honda has released its "Green Dealer" Guide to the public. The guide, which is used to outline ways for Honda and Acura dealerships to be more environmentally responsible can also help other businesses take the same steps to green up their practices, save energy and even save money in the process. The guide, which ranks dealers based on a points system, provides incentive to dealerships to implement the environmentally practices, but it also helps Honda assert itself as a leader for green business. Read more at Automotive News or in the press release below. Nissan Leaf owners in the UK love their car, and aren't looking back at their fossil-fueled past. According to a survey by Nissan, 93 percent use the EV as their main family vehicle. 89 percent report saving money driving, 64 percent prefer it to driving a conventionally powered car and 95 percent would recommend the car to a friend. Most said they wouldn't go back to a gas or diesel car. One owner even gave up his Aston Martin for a second Leaf so he and his wife wouldn't argue over who got to drive the EV to work each day. That's love. Read more at Next Green Car and at Hybrid Cars. Renault has outlined its future sustainable mobility plans, including two pieces of technology going into production cars soon. Renault will put a smaller, more efficient electric motor into production, as well as a three-cylinder dual-fuel gasoline/liquid petroleum gas engine. The HYDIVU prototype will help Renault research mild hybrid technology for light commercial vehicles. The VELUD project will look into making the last mile of urban deliveries more sustainable. Renault is also testing a two-cylinder, two-stroke diesel engine for small vehicle platforms. Read more in the press release below. Tesla's China president has resigned. Veronica Wu had been in charge of the company's operations in China for the past nine months, and with her leaving the company, Tom Zhu will step into the role. Jochen Siebert of Shanghai-based JSC Automotive Consulting says that, "Tesla counts on China as one of their main drivers of growth after California, and it might have been more difficult than they thought." Tesla states it is still "confident in the Chinese market," where it has sold the Model S since April. Read more at Bloomberg.
Why Acura should build a hybrid Integra successor using NSX tech
Fri, Dec 30 2016Yes, it sounds like a heresy. Yes, the Honda CR-Z was not a good hybrid sports car. Yes, we know the RSX officially replaced the Integra here (but was called the Integra in Japan). But, no, we're not crazy. Well, maybe a little bit. But hear us out. At the moment Acura is a bit of an unfocused mess. Its line-up is thoroughly uninspiring, save for its $200,000 NSX supercar – a great mid-engined supercar with an impressive, performance-oriented hybrid AWD system. And yet few people would draw a line connecting Acura's other SH-AWD hybrids, the RLX Sport Hybrid and MDX Sport Hybrid, to the NSX. The first NSX told the world that Acura built cars with world-class technology and performance, and the Integra carried it to people with normal pocketbooks. Since the new NSX communicates a similar message as its forbearer, so too would a new Integra. Now making an entry-level sports car with hybrid technology is tricky business. As we already established, the Honda CR-Z was a colossal flop. It's balance was all off: heavy, expensive, and not very sporty – and it didn't even get very good fuel economy. However, Honda and Acura can learn from these mistakes. First, to keep costs in check, Acura can borrow from Honda's ever-improving parts bin. It would logical to borrow the excellent Civic coupe platform – something the old Integra did as well. It could also attach the proposed hybrid powertrain to the upcoming Si turbocharged four-cylinder. Some added cost will be unavoidable, since the batteries and motors will have to go somewhere. That will cost some engineering dollars, and inflate the price tag a bit. However, since Acura is a premium brand, it has some wiggle room to bump up the price without losing buyers. Weight is another potential issue this hypothetical hybrid will face, and was one of the chief complaints with the CR-Z. Looking at the RLX and the RLX Sport Hybrid, the hybrid bits weigh about an extra 340 pounds. That's not insignificant, but added to the turbocharged Civic EX-T coupe's 2,900 pound curb weight, you would have a car that would weigh 3,240 pounds. That's comparable to the very fun Mustang EcoBoost. As long as Acura keeps the weight under 3,500 pounds, the brand should have an entertaining coupe on its hands. The final piece of the puzzle is to make sure it isn't compromised. Every bit of hybrid tech in the NSX is there for performance. It helps eliminate turbo lag, and it improves acceleration and handling.
Honda making hydrogen from solar power in UK
Mon, Nov 10 2014Honda is going to launch a hydrogen-powered production vehicle (its second, really) next year, but the all-important H2 infrastructure question hasn't been fully answered yet. One possible solution is being tested over in the United Kingdom, where Honda is turning solar energy and water into hydrogen at its Swindon plant. SHD Logistics says the plant is the UK's "first commercial-scale hydrogen production and refuelling facility powered by solar energy." Despite the presence of an FCX Clarity in some pictures from the ribbon cutting, it's unclear if the station will be able to fuel any passenger cars. SHD Logistics talks about sending the hydrogen from where it is generated on the Honda plant grounds into the plant using 300-meter underground pipes so that hydrogen forklifts can refuel as needed. Two hydrogen fuel cell trucks used by Briggs Equipment UK, Honda's partner in the station, will also refuel at the plant. Honda said earlier this year that it, along with partner GM, would work to reduce the costs of a hydrogen refueling infrastructure. Solar-powered hydrolysis – which is what the Swindon facility uses – doesn't sound cheap to us, but at least it reduces the overall environmental costs, compared to using electricity generated from fossil fuels.
