Up for sale is my 1991 CRX Si, with a built and turbo'd B16 VTEC. This car was built right, and is very clean (and very quick)! I bought this from my friend a while back, after helping him build it. This has been a great daily driver, but I got a new job and need a truck, so she has to go.

CONDITION (Important, please read)

Exterior: 6/10 Could certainly use a few touch-ups here and there, but very clean for a CRX/EF. Windshield is cracked, but it hasn't spread since I've owned the car. Paint is coming off/small dent on driver's side (see pics), minor scratches here and there. The paint job was done with a gun; it's not perfect by any means, but it looks better than a lot of DIY jobs I've seen out there. Also, I had a separate key for the doors/trunk, but I lost it. The trunk is locked, and the passenger door can lock, but if you want to lock the driver's side door, you'll need to get a key made. The mesh wheels have regular wear and tear, but shine up nicely.

Interior: 8/10 No headliner, but the metal is rust-free, clean, and like-new. Some small scratches and blemishes on driver's side pillar. A/F still needs to be hooked up, I just haven't had time to get around to it. No stereo at the moment due to gauges occupying all available DIN space. But you could install one with some creative mounting, or in the glove box for that stealthy feel. Interior is in good condition for a 23 year old car. Seats have a few small blemishes/marks, and the tear mentioned above, but otherwise very clean.

Mechanical: 8.5/10 Everything works flawlessly and reliably. For a built and turbo'd motor, I still get 32+ MPG on the highway. CEL for code 9 has shown since the build/swap, and there is a subtle head tick -- the valves may need slight adjusting, but it runs great and pulls strung and hard just the way it is. Clutch grabs hard and strong, no grinds, pop-outs, etc. Doesn't burn, leak, or smoke oil or coolant. Temp always stays cool, even after spirited driving. The clutch "chatters" a little bit, but this is perfectly normal for a 6 puck unsprung clutch. No slips whatsoever. Brakes are strong as well. The only thing this car will potentially need is new tires in the next few months, and maybe an alignment ($75 at your local tire shop). Just rotated the tires the other day, however.

All bulbs, turn signals, brake lights, headlights, high beams, etc. work great.

This car is loud, fast, and tons of fun. But just to give fair warning, if you've never driven a 6 puck unsprung clutch before, it's going to take some serious getting used to. The engagement point is very specific -- you just can't slip it in first. It took me about 2 weeks to get used to it, but I daily drive it now with no problems!

----------------------------------

This car is (believe it or not) my third CRX. She's an absolute joy to drive, but it's time to let someone else enjoy it. Feel free to ask any questions you like. You can message me through ebay or shoot me a text at 513-824-1430. Please no calls (I work during the day), texts are fine any time, 24/7, though it might take me a little while to get back to you if I'm in the middle of something or sleeping.

Cash or cashier's check only. Local pickup only. Clean OH title in hand. Buyer is responsible for pickup within 7 days of auction end.

Honda renders three-row MPV for Jakarta reveal

Mon, 22 Jul 2013

In preparation for the Indonesia International Motor Show coming up in September, Honda has released a teaser sketch (click to enlarge) of a new three-row MPV - specifically designed for this region - set to debut at the show. Honda says this yet-to-be-named people mover will be positioned in the entry-level MPV segment, which it says is a crucial part of the Indonesian auto market.
While there is no way to tell the size of the vehicle based off this rendering, it does appear to be far more stylish than the Honda CR-V, although the stepped-down beltline and the pinched shape of the rear quarter window have us thinking that Honda designers have been staring at the BMW i3 a little bit too much. The New Honda MPV will be powered by a 1.5-liter gas engine, and it goes on sale (and production) in Indonesia early next year. Honda has released a short press release for the new model, which is posted below.

Honda tweaks ad after catching ire from Detroit protesters [w/video]

Mon, 27 Jan 2014

Honda has released a revised version of its youth-focused Today is Pretty Great commercial because the original used footage of Detroit bankruptcy protesters in front of the Theodore Levin US Courthouse. The protesters felt that Honda was making fun of their plight. The new version cuts out the protestors and replaces them with a close-up of a bankruptcy court sign. Honda says that it never intended to tie the ad to Detroit and made the change to avoid that appearance.
"The slight change we made to the commercial simply reflects our desire to remove anything that would get in the way our uplifting message," said Honda spokesman Steve Kinkade in a statement to The Detroit News.
Honda's footage of the protestors lasted about one second in the original ad. It blurred the protestors' faces, and the name of the courthouse was not visible. The company said that the footage was meant to represent any courthouse in the US. Both versions have about five seconds of negative imagery at the beginning before transitioning to young people saying that there are some great things about today too.

Google poised to release Apple CarPlay rival this month

Tue, 17 Jun 2014

Apple and Google. They're the Michigan and Ohio State of the tech world. They're New York Yankees and the Boston Red Sox, Real Madrid and Barcelona, or whatever sports-based rivalry you want to cook up. Bottom line, if one company expands into a segment, it's only a matter of time before the other follows suit. And now, that rivalry is about to carry over to your car's dashboard.
Unnamed sources are reporting to Automotive News that Google will unveil its very own challenger to Apple's new CarPlay in-car operating system later this month at the Mountain View, CA company's annual developer conference. The system, allegedly called Google Auto Link, will be the first product to come from the Open Automotive Alliance, a partnership between Google, General Motors, Hyundai, Audi, Honda and hardware manufacturer NVIDIA.
The official announcement is expected to be made on either June 25 or 26, at the Google I/O conference in San Francisco. Expect to hear a lot more about Google Auto Link then.
