91 Crx Si With Jdm Glass Roof Conversion on 2040-cars
Centreville, Maryland, United States
UP for auction is my 1991 Honda CRX Si project. I bought this car new in 1991 and I kept it for about 5 years. I sold it to a friend and she neglected to change the timing belt so she damaged the engine. I bought the car back from in 2000 with the intention of restoring the car. Shortly after I bought the car my friend's CRX was totaled. He was begging me to buy my CRX so I reluctantly sold it to him. He owned the car for 4-5 years and then slid off of the road. He damaged the front bumper cover, right fender and some of the suspension. I bought it back again in 2005. By the way the car has a clean Carfax. I wanted to restore it but that was put on hold since I purchased a new Acura NSX. It just sat in the garage while I slowly collected new parts for it. I replaced the front bumper cover, hood, both front fenders, both door skins and added the JDM glass roof panel during the body restoration. All parts are OEM Honda. I replaced all of the body parts because they were dinged up a little. I did not want any bondo in this car. This CRX was extremely well kept during my 1st 5 years of ownership. The car was completely RUST FREE before the bodywork was performed!!! The last pic is a pic of one of the quarter panels without rust before the bodywork was started. The car was block sanded with filler primer several times in order to ensure straightness with no waves and all of the panels were painted off of the car so there are no tape lines. I had the painter completely paint the doors (edges and exterior with all hardware removed) and paint into the jambs while leaving the factory labels in place. The glass roof was installed using the factory spot weld locations (they are the same as USDM roof panels) and a BNIB NOS glass roof molding was installed. After the base Tahitian Green Pearl (original color) was painted the car was color sanded before the clear was applied. The clear needs to be wet sanded because I wanted to finish assembling the car first and then wet sand it. The quality of this paint in second to none. The paint used is Sikkens which is one of the top brands on the market. Between the new panels and glass roof I spent over 3000.00 + the paint and body work. The pictures are not great and the car was dusty when I took them. The car looks much better in person. The car needs to be put back to together and I will include the following parts that are BNIB Honda parts. Center console with shift boot, radio bezel with pocket, antenna, shift knob, tail light gaskets, seat belts, cargo cover, rear cargo door that folds down for access to the cargo area (complete with trunk carpet), belt line molding (doors, quarter panels, and fenders), lower cladding for rocker panels and lower door caps, roof gutter moldings, chrome front H emblem, rear quarter glass moldings (rubber that surrounds glass), door sash / pillar moldings), fender liners, electrical portion of ignition switch, clutch cable, speedo cable, rear license plate holders, new headlight assemblies complete with bulbs, rear trailing arms, compensator arms and control arms (passenger side trailing arm is bent). Like I said all of these parts are BRAND NEW IN BOX from Honda. Most of theses parts are no longer available. Here is a list of additional parts that are used and in mint condition. I have the complete carpet from a low mileage salvaged car. I think it only has about 15,000 mile on it and it is VERY CLEAN. Climate control panel without cracks, cargo box, rear interior plastic (the both have minor cracks where they wrap around the trailing edge of the door openings which are easily repairable), NEAR MINT interior door panels (no seatbelt tears), e brake cover, glass roof headliner, glass roof map light, glass roof rear view mirror, center and passenger side tail light ( you need a driver side light), original seats with no wear (just had new foam installed), exterior door handles, 5 speed transmission, marker lights and front turn signals which are in exceptional condition. I could be forgetting something ... HA ! I will include 2 engines with the car. I have the original short block which requires a rebuild. In addition I have a built high compression (11:1 ?) engine with eagle rods, ARP bolts and Endyn pistons. Bottom end was just refreshed and the head was just rebuilt by Endyn with ported and polished, head, larger valves etc. I have a D16 vtec intake manifold too. You will need a distributor, ecu, header, throttle body, fuel rail and injectors. Car does not have the engine or transmission installed. The car also needs a windshield and the driver side rear quarter window will be installed prior to your purchase. I do not have a set of wheels for this car other than what you see in the pics. There are probably a few things that I forgot to mention. I am selling the car "AS is" since it is a project. I hate to get rid of it but I am looking at buying another car and I need the space. If make any offers please consider how much you are getting in NEW PARTS and what has been spent on the car. Just the bodywork, paint and glass roof cost about $10K. I think that you cannot have a nicer car than this one once it is completed. It would probably only take a few weeks to complete it. If I do not get the right offer I will sell just the rolling chassis and sell off all of my BNIB parts for good money. I would rather sell the car as a complete package though. I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND that you pick up this car in person because of the large parts inventory. They will not all fit in the car so you will need a pickup and trailer. For inquiries send a email through ebay or call / text me @ 443-226 FIVE NINE FOUR ZERO |

Recharge Wrap-up: Toyota FCV ready for production, Nissan tests Leaf-to-Home energy management
Fri, Oct 17 2014Toyota will begin selling its hydrogen fuel cell vehicle (FCV) in Japan in December. The US and Europe can expect to see the car become available next summer. The FCV, which will likely be called "Mirai" (meaning "future") in Japan, is ready for production ahead of its initial deadline at the end of the fiscal year in March. Toyota planned for annual production of 700 units, but might increase output to meet higher-than-expected demand, which is currently nearing 1,000 units. The cars will mostly be sold in the four cities where a hydrogen fueling infrastructure is already being put in place: Tokyo, Nagoya, Osaka and Fukuoka. Read more at Nikkei Asian Review. Nissan is testing the Leaf EV as part of an energy management system including "Leaf to Home" technology. The system allows the Leaf to help support the power grid during peak energy usage, or provide backup power to a home or building during outages, particularly in emergencies like natural disasters. Using the Leaf's battery to provide electricity during peak hours would lessen the demand on the grid and make the system work more efficiently. Furthermore, if consumers are compensated for the energy saved by using the Leaf for power during periods of high demand, it could encourage more people to adopt the EV.

CDP keeps track of how much companies are disclosing about their impact on global climate change. "The need for data on corporate climate change impacts and strategies to reduce them has never been greater," says CDP CEO Paul Simpson. "For this reason we congratulate those businesses that have achieved a position on CDP's Climate Disclosure Leadership Index." Other perfect scores were earned by Nissan, BMW, Daimler and General Motors. Read more in the press release from Honda below. Scientists at Stanford University have developed a lithium ion battery that can warn users before it overheats. A thin layer of copper between the anode and the layer separating the anode from the cathode acts as a sensor. When it detects lithium buildups from overcharging are approaching the separator, it sends an early alert long before it gets to a point where it would cause a short (which could lead to a fire). The new safety measure could be used in all sorts of battery applications, and not be limited to EVs. Learn more at Phys.org.
Honda HR-V Prototype looks awfully familiar
Thu, 02 Oct 2014Is there anything quite so exciting as seeing a brand-new vehicle for the very first time? Part of the allure of auto shows is the chance to see new ideas, just before they're fully baked and ready for public consumption. "Prototypes" you might say, of production models that are just around the corner. Or, in the case of the Honda HR-V, already down the block a ways.
Here in Paris, Honda has unveiled its HR-V Prototype, a nearly production-ready version of a "new SUV for Europe." Before we take umbrage with that SUV designation - as far as we can tell the Fit-based crossover isn't much of a mudder - we should address the fact that at this year's New York Auto Show in April, Honda handed over just a few images and specs of the actually production-read HR-V for the US. Presumably this is a "prototype" for Europe, where the NYC car is US-specific, but we're still scratching our heads a bit.
No matter! Here in France, Honda tells us that the utile little hatch will be available powered by both a 1.5-liter gasoline engine (the one American customers will see), and a 1.6-liter diesel unit, both wearing the company's Earth Dreams Technology label and presumably running cleaner and more frugally than ever. In Europe, a standard six-speed manual will come with both mills, while the 1.5-liter will offer the option of a continuously variable transmission.
Recharge Wrap-up: Volkswagen Sustainability Council meets, Zee.Aero flying car spotted?
Wed, Oct 26 2016The Volkswagen Sustainability Council held its inaugural meeting in Berlin. Made up of nine international experts, the council will advise VW and take action on its own as it sees fit. In the meeting, the council decided that in 2017 it will focus on tackling CO2 emissions, planning for post-2025 regulations, and assisting the automaker's "transformation from car manufacturer to mobility services provider," as VW Chairman Matthias Muller puts it. Volkswagen has approved 20 million euros (about $21.75 million) in funding for Sustainability Council projects for its first two years. "We are fully aware of the large transformation that lays ahead Volkswagen Group," says George Kell, Sustainability Council Chair and Founding Director of UN Global Compact. "We were invited to be part of this journey and are very much looking forward on being actively involved in the development of this journey." Read more at Green Car Congress, or from Volkswagen. Honda plans to ramp up its share of hybrids sold in the US. In response to increasingly strict emissions standards, the company wants electrified vehicles (including hybrid, plug-in hybrid, battery electric, and fuel cell vehicles) to make up two-thirds of Honda and Acura sales in US by 2030. Some analysts are skeptical, though. Christopher Richter of CLSA Asia-Pacific Markets says that dealers are telling Honda they don't want hybrids. "Unless there's a change in what dealers want, I don't think they are going to get there that fast," Richter says. Read more at Automotive News. Witnesses report spotting what could possibly be the Zee.Aero electric aircraft at Hollister Airport in California. Zee.Aero, a startup funded by Google cofounder Larry Page, has a hangar at that airport, where a photo was taken of the aircraft in question. The craft is said to be capable of vertical takeoff and landing and can fit in a one-car garage, earning it the "flying car" moniker. Eyewitness Saul Gomez described the aircraft as "quiet" and "hovering 20, 25 feet off the ground." Read more at Electrek, and watch the interview at Mercury News.
