You are looking at my 1990 Honda CRX SI Hatchback, Red color, that I acquired in the fall of 2007. It had 75K miles when I bought it and now has 172K. It has never been in an accident. The engine runs strong and smooth. The car gets excellent gas mileage around 36-38 mpg average. The car has VIN # JHMED9367LS010434.

This car will be sold as is and I will describe as accurately as possible all known issues or concerns. The winning bidder is responsible for pickup, shipping, or delivery of the car.

This has been a very reliable, fuel efficient, and zippy car to drive around in. It does not have A/C but has a sun roof and plenty of ventilation. A/C was never initially installed but could be installed by a competent mechanic. This car has been used for my work commute car and has mostly highway miles.  I am only selling because I’ve decided to invest in a new car.

There are no engine or car issues other than what is described below.  

Car Maintenance since I’ve owned:

-       Oil changes with synthetic oil and High efficiency oil filter every 6K miles.

-       Engine tune-up (spark plugs, wires, cap, rotor) every 30K miles.

-       Manual transmission oil changed every 40K miles.

-       2 new front CEV front shaft axle shafts at 132K miles.

-       Front left ball joint replaced at 132K miles.

-       Wheel alignment checked and adjusted every 40K miles.

-       New clutch and timing belt replaced around 100K miles.

-       Replace the Fuel and air filter replaced every 30K miles.

-       New alternator / and belt, and battery replaced in the last year.

-       Coolant flush every 30K miles.

-       New exhaust pipe / muffler at 168K miles.

-       New catalytic converter and center pipes at 130K miles.

-       New Brake pads replaced in last year.

-       New Sumitomo tires installed at 120K Miles.

-       New starter at 164K miles.

-       New battery at 163K miles.

-       New alternator and belt at 134K miles.

 

The car does have some flaws:

-       There is surface rust around the wheel wells and on top to the sun roof. I did apply some JB Weld on top of the sun roof and around the wheel wells, and covered with red paint to prevent the rust from spreading any further. You can see the bubbly surface on the sunroof. Any reputable body shop could easily fix these areas.

-       The oil pan drain hole threads are slighting stripped so I have had to apply JB weld around the oil pan bolt to prevent a small leak following each oil change. The JB weld can be easily chipped away for removal of the pan plug and oil change.

-       The driver seat cloth is ripped on the upper left side. I remedied this by applying black duct tape. Of course car seat covers would be better, or a seamstress could repair.

-       The rear windshield washer sprayer does not work.

-       On occasion when shifting into 2nd gear to quickly, there is some slight grinding heard. I had discovered this when I 1st purchased the car. A reputed mechanic told me this would never get any worse, and to this day it hasn’t. If you ease into 2nd gear gently, this will not occur.

-       There is a slight dent in right rear panel (see pic).

-       On hot days when the car is sitting too long, the accelerator (gas pedal) needs to be depressed for 30 seconds, and then the engine can be started. I think this may be a sensor issue? Otherwise, the engine always starts smoothly.

-       There is a slight scratch in the front windshield driver side.  (see pic)

-       There is a small cut / rip in the vinyl on the driver’s door side. (see pic)

-       The Hood opening latch inside the car has to be held in open position so that the front hood can be popped open. I accomplish this by putting a wrench or 12” piece of wood to hold the latch in open position.

-         

 

The CRX SI original owner’s manual also comes with the car. The winning bidder is responsible for pickup or shipping.

Honda Civic Type R Concept is the shape of hot things to come

Thu, 02 Oct 2014

Soon, kids. Soon. The next-generation Honda Civic Type R is finally coming, and we're getting another preview of the hot hatch here at the Paris Motor Show. Of course, this one probably won't be headed to the United States (boo!), but it doesn't mean we can't get excited. After all, we're big fans of little turbo hatches, and from what we know right now, this one sure sounds sweet.
Underneath that new blue paint and red decals is a 2.0-liter turbocharged inline-four, reportedly good for 276 horsepower. Honda tells us there's a "steer axis" system with adaptive dampers, and with the push of its +R button, the suspension, steering and torque mapping are all altered to make this Type R even more Type R-ier than before. In fact, Honda says this Civic will surpass every Type R that came before it - that means every Integra, Accord, Civic and even the NSX. Hot diggity.
We've got a fresh batch of images of the Type R Concept up top, and Honda's press release is available below. Hopefully it won't be long before the production car is finally revealed.

Florida woman says Takata airbag deployment left her paralyzed

Mon, Jan 26 2015

A malfunctioning Takata airbag left a Florida woman paralyzed from the neck down following an otherwise minor car accident last year, a lawsuit filed last week alleges. Patricia Mincey says in court documents that, instead of deploying normally, the driver-side airbag in her 2001 Honda Civic deployed with such force that it injured her neck and rendered her a quadriplegic. The lawsuit accuses Takata and Honda of deliberately concealing information about the defect and taking belated action to protect Mincey and other motorists from airbags that may harm them instead of saving their lives. At least five deaths and 139 injuries have been linked to the flawed airbags in Honda vehicles. "There is a systemic failure of these companies to come clean with information they know very early on of problems," Ted Leopold, Mincey's attorney, tells Autoblog. "Instead of doing the right thing, they try to sweep the problems under the rug until there are so many deaths and injuries they're left with no choice. We saw it with General Motors ignition switches, we saw it with the Toyota unintended acceleration cases and now we see it here." Long History Of Takata-Related Recalls Four days after Mincey's accident, Honda recalled her car as part of a 5,394,000-vehicle recall that sought to repair vehicles in which the airbag inflators could rupture. Her accident took place in Jacksonville, Florida, a state in which manufacturers have said high humidity could cause a heightened risk of problems for Takata airbags. She was wearing her seat belt at the time of the crash, according to court documents, and her car was traveling approximately 22 miles per hour. Mincey remains hospitalized in a long-term care and rehabilitation facility near her Florida home, her attorney said. She is seeking compensation in excess of $15,000 for her injuries and punitive damages. Problems with the Takata airbags were discovered as early as 2001, when Isuzu issued the first recall related to high-pressure deployments. But the company continued to manufacture defective airbags, which have subsequently been flagged in dozens of recalls over the past 14 years. Approximately 21 million vehicles have been affected in the United States. Congress conducted hearings on the companies' delayed responses to the safety crisis last year.

Honda issues bizarre non-recall on Odyssey over badge placement

Wed, 02 Oct 2013

Without looking under the hood or at a vehicle history report, one of the easiest way to tell if a car has had body work done is to check the location and placement of the exterior badges. A crooked, misplaced or missing badge can be a telltale sign that there has been some sort of body or paint work. For this reason, Honda is suggesting that some owners of the 2014 Odyssey take their vans into the dealership for a little rebadging.
The topic was brought to light after Consumer Reports received a notice from Honda saying that the "Odyssey" badge on its test vehicle was incorrectly installed at the factory. The badge is supposed to go on the driver's side of the liftgate (as shown above), but the customer vehicles had it placed on the passenger side of the car. Not a huge deal unless an owner is trying to sell the vehicle and the improperly installed badge leads potential owners into believing the vehicle may have been damaged in some way. Here's what Honda said in its letter:
On some 2013 Odyssey vehicles, the Odyssey emblem was incorrectly installed on the passenger's side of the rear tailgate. The emblem should be installed on the drivers' side of the rear tailgate. American Honda Motor Company highly recommends that you participate in this Product Update. The placement of the emblem may indicate that the vehicle has had repairs performed that are consistent with it being in a crash. This could affect the resale value of the vehicle.
