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 |

Race Recap: 2013 Indianapolis 500 better than Bollywood; all the emotion, none of the music [spoilers]
Mon, 27 May 2013If the 2013 Indy 500 were a movie it would be the one expected to win all the little statues come awards season, and if it were an athlete it would have made spectators watch in awe as it broke record after record. And this kind of talk comes after last year's race was considered one of the best ever - the last lap hijinks in 2012 and Takuma Sato's crash leading to a podium ceremony straight out of a Golden Globes tearjerker.
But this year's race delivered more than anyone expected, from the 250,000 fans to the commentators to the IndyCar series itself and, finally, to the guy who hopped through a two-mile window on Lap 197 to take the lead and keep it until the end.
Newest version of Honda's ASIMO coming to TV on April 15
Mon, 07 Apr 2014Honda's ASIMO robot is moving into its teenage years, having originally been introduced in 2000, and like all teens, it's still learning. The bot has received regular incremental upgrades over that time, and the latest version will premiere on LIVE with Kelly and Michael on Tuesday, April 15.
The newest enhancements provide ASIMO with improved hand dexterity, the ability to use sign language, run faster, climb stars more smoothly, balance on one foot, jump and more. Honda says other new features will be demonstrated with hosts Kelly Ripa and Michael Strahan on the show.
The ongoing development of ASIMO, which stands for Advanced Step in Innovative Mobility, is being done so that one day it can help humans who require assistance. The current version is 4-feet, 3-inches tall, weighs 110 pounds and is made mostly from magnesium alloy and plastic. A big limit is still its lithium-ion battery that only provides 40 minutes of charge. The robot has not needed human control to move since a previous iteration in 2011, which also improved its manual dexterity. It could even pour drinks.
New Honda ads: Fix your airbags
Sat, Mar 14 2015As we've heard on many different occasions, one of the biggest problem with recalls is getting people to actually report to the dealership to have repairs done. This is particularly important in cases where the recalled part can cause some very serious harm. To combat this tendency – you might even call it neglectfulness – on the part of owners, Honda is turning to advertising. The company is launching a multi-million-dollar ad campaign targeting owners of vehicles affected by the Takata airbag recall and asking them to report in to have a replacement inflator installed. "Honda hopes that this new consumer information campaign will bolster our existing and continuing efforts to reach our customers and maximize the vehicle repair completion rates associated with recalls to replace Takata airbag inflators," Honda's John Mendel said in the attached statement. "These ads are a strong call to action from our company designed to break through the clutter, grab the attention of customers driving affected vehicles, and urge that they get required repairs as soon as possible." The campaign will kick off March 16 with full-page color ads in over 120 newspapers and 30-second radio spots in 110 markets. Because it's 2015, the company will also use sponsored Facebook posts "that mention the specific vehicle owned by each identified user." Yep, here's the future. Honda's ads will largely be focused in the 11 high-humidity states and territories (Alabama, California, Florida, Georgia, Hawaii, Louisiana, Mississippi, South Carolina, Texas, Puerto Rico and the US Virgin Islands) most affected by the Takata recall. Several of the states were part of the initial National Highway Traffic Safety Administration investigation, like Florida, Hawaii, the USVI and Puerto Rico. "The goals of this campaign is to save lives and prevent injuries," Mendel added. This campaign will be worth watching, not only because they deliver an important message, but they could set a precedent for the handling of future major recalls.
