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

2
new front CEV front shaft axle shafts at 132K miles. -
Front
left ball joint replaced at 132K miles. -

New

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

New

New

New

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 debuts NSX Concept-GT hybrid racer
Fri, 16 Aug 2013Not to be outdone by Lexus and its new LF-CC racecar, Honda is also bringing a little more excitement to the Japanese Super GT racing series with its NSX Concept-GT. Yes, just like the original NSX, this racecar will wear the Honda badge in its home market when it replaces the current offering in that series, the non-production HSV-010 GT, which itself replaced the NSX in the series back in 2010.
Looking exactly how we'd imagine a race-prepped 2015 Acura NSX to look, this racer is mean and sexy at the same time, and it will be powered by a racing hybrid system with a turbocharged four-cylinder mounted behind the driver. No word on power output, but it will compete in the GT500 class, which restricts power output to 500 horsepower. Unlike the Lexus racecar, the Honda NSX Concept-GT will being competing this season starting with this weekend's race at the Suzuka Circuit before running the full 10-race 2014 season. Scroll down for the short press release.
How Seinfeld hopes he'll help industry make better car commercials [w/video]
Fri, 04 Oct 2013Bloomberg has a fascinating look into a web series that continues to be a favorite around the Autoblog offices - Jerry Seinfeld's Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee. The series, which is in its second season, sees the affable comedian picking up fellow comedians in a range of interesting cars, and having conversations with them over the drive and a cup of joe.
The piece by Bloomberg dives into the development of the series, as well as Seinfeld's tie-up with Acura, which saw the Honda-owned brand begin sponsorship this season. That relationship started not with his web series, though, but with a Super Bowl ad, alongside fellow funnyman and car enthusiast Jay Leno, that saw them competing over a new Acura NSX. Have a click over to Bloomberg for an entertaining piece that looks beyond the YouTube series. We've also wrangled Seinfeld's original Super Bowl ad for the Acura NSX, which you can see below.
Honda reveals three new turbo VTEC engines, including Civic Type R 2.0L
Tue, 19 Nov 2013It's fair to say that in recent years, Honda has been viewed as a laggard when it comes to engine and gearbox development, seemingly missing the boat on direct-injection, forced-induction and high gear-count transmissions, among other things. But under its Earth Dreams banner, the Japanese automaker is showing new vigor, with the latest proof being this trio of just-announced powerplants.
Measuring 1.0-liters, 1.5-liters and 2.0-liters in displacement, this array of three- and four-cylinder engines boasts turbocharging and direct-injection along with the latest iteration of Honda's famed VTEC variable valve timing hardware. "Most suitable for small-to-medium-sized vehicles," the largest engine is said to be good for more than 276 horsepower and will slot into the eagerly awaited Civic Type R, iconic red valve cover and all.
Unfortunately, few other details about the hot Civic's engine or any of the others are being made public at this time, and there's no official word about the engines coming to North American in the Type R or any other model. Given that all the engines are complaint with stringent Euro 6 emissions standards, they figure to be clean enough, and Honda says that these have been developed as global powerplants, so we'd be shocked if they didn't come ashore in new or updated products over the next few years... even if they leave the CTR on the boat.
