1995 Honda Civic Dx With H23a Dohc Vtec Swap on 2040-cars

 I am selling my 1995 Honda Civic DX coupe
The chassis has around 176000 miles on it.

I have several extra parts for the car. Fans, door panels from an EX, bolts, wiring, etc. which you are welcome to if you want them.

This car does have a rebuilt salvage title. I purchased it from a junkyard 10 years ago. It was Totaled by the insurance company because of theft. The front fenders, front bumper, hood, and seats and trim were stolen out of it. There was no collision. When I bought the car the odometer said 145514. There is a mistake on the Title where a previous inspection station switched the odo numbers before I bought it. So the title flags a possible roll back. It didn't have a roll back. the guy just wasn't very good at his job. Now the odo says 28k(and counting), but it is exempt now, so...

*Black and Grey interior in extremely good condition (The A-Pillar on the driver side has holes drilled in it for an autometer 3-pod pillar overlay with. (I will be including the gauges as well. The tachometer is broken. But the car has stock tach.
*AC EL Dash Gauges
*RCA cords are already run under the carpet for a 2nd amp if you decide to amplify door speakers/add rear speakers etc.
*Rota Circuit8 Bronze Gunmetal Wheels with Hancook Ventus 205/50 R15 on the front and Kumho Ecsta 195/55 R15 on the Back

The not so good:
No power steering.
No windshield washer system.
Right front CV axle is popping when you turn.
Front end paint repair was done by me. So there are some spots that could use professional attention.
Front bumper is OE flat black primed.

Overall:
This is a really nice car. For a 20 year old Honda Civic DX, I doubt you will find a cleaner, nicer ride. A complete, ready to enjoy vehicle that has both performance and luxuries like A/C and a Clean body with new Paint is rare in this scene. This is not a riced out, hellaflush, slammed vehicle. It is drivable daily on all roads, has a lot of on hand power, but does not sacrifice comfort while it does it. I've done everything to make this civic, the car that I dreamed of 11 years ago, and I wasn't going to stop till I saw it through. I have 5 cars, and I am working on a rear wheel drive project now, this car was my dream car a long time ago, I really just want someone to enjoy it. I have moved on and developed different tastes in cars, So now it is ready for YOU! As with any used car sale you understand that this is a used car and I offer no warranty. As far as I know this is a really nice Civic right now, ready for someone to love. Over $14K invested...

Honda, Hyundai and Kia get best word-of-mouth recommendations in US

Mon, 09 Dec 2013

Forget advertising, incentives and, yes, even our excellently crafted vehicle reviews, sometimes the best way for automakers to sell cars is still good ol' fashioned word of mouth. In an attempt to measure this "word of mouth" power, The Boston Consulting Group, a management consulting firm, has created a new study called the Brand Advocacy Index (BAI). The index takes a look at how various industries perform from person to person. Those industries include automotive, smartphones, grocery, mobile telecommunications and banking.
The study polled more than 32,000 individuals across Europe and in the US to come up with the top 55 brands in these various industries. On the automotive side of things, the top brands in the US were Honda, Hyundai and Kia, all tied at 63 percent. On a global scale, Volkswagen and Toyota scored the highest with a 65-percent BAI rating (both in France). The average BAI for auto industry players tallied 50 percent.
As for companies in other industries, Apple's iPhone was the index's top-rated smartphone, Trader Joe's was the highest recommended grocery store, Virgin was sat atop the mobile telecom industry and USAA was the top retail bank. Scroll down for the full press release on the new study.

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.

Honda discontinuing Euro Accord, no replacement in sight

Wed, 22 Oct 2014

Honda has built two Accords for many years. There's the one we're familiar with here in the United States, and then there's the Accord sold in markets like Europe and Australia, known here in the US as the Acura TSX. But just like Acura did with the TSX, the Euro-market Accord has been discontinued.
The news comes from The Motor Report in Australia, which is reporting that the Accord Euro will be discontinued in 2015. Sold Down Under alongside the US-market model, the discontinuation of the Aussie car indicates an end to Honda's midsize sedan efforts in Europe, where there is no obvious replacement for the four-door and wagon models.
According to TMR, Honda Australia Director Stephen Collins indicated that focus will be placed instead on the US market "wide-body" model, as it's known. That said, this decision doesn't sound like it's sitting too well in Oz.
