Condition: Used: A vehicle is considered used if it has been registered and issued a title. Used vehicles have had at least one previous owner. The condition of the exterior, interior and engine can vary depending on the vehicle's history. See the seller's listing for full details and description of any imperfections. ...

I am going to explain this wonderful car in ALL of the details I possibly can. I am also going to upload a video so you can see and hear it for yourself.

I recently purchased this vehicle from a seller in Virginia Beach. He bought it off of his friends that were great with cars, and drove it for awhile also. His friends took great care of the car, and did everything the maintenance book said to, and always changed the oil after 3,000 miles. He did the same. The buyer before me also did an overhaul to the vehicle, and change all of the belts (other than the s-belt which is tricky to get to in these Honda's).

After I bought the vehicle. I drove it from Philadelphia, PA to Orlando, FL where it is located now. There were no problems in the vehicle at all, and she drove really nice. I changed the front two tires in FL, you can see the receipt for $140 in the picture. After driving for a little in Flordia, I noticed the temp guage was going up a little, so I took the radiator cap off and saw there was little coolant. I filled it up, and on I drove for some time.

I was driving to Gainesville, 200 miles away, and the temp guage went up again. I pulled over, and had white smoke that smelt like coolant coming from the exhaust. All signs pointed to a blown head gasket from people I talked to (I don't know much about cars, just try to learn what I can when I can).

The next day, I filled it up with coolant and drove it to firestone auto care. They did a pressure test in the coolant system and found 2 broken hoses. They replaced these, pressure tested again, and all was good with the coolant system. This cost $75.55

The car was hard to start after this, which firestone believed was due to a blown head gasket. I then went to an auto part store, where they suggested blue devil.

I bought blue devil, and what was told to buy with it, (new thermostat, guage, etc.) I had a mechanic friend help me, and we removed the thermostat and replaced the hoses. We then completely drained the radiator, did a complete radiator flush with a flushing agent. We noticed a small leak near the drain cock of the system, and patched this hole w/ putty. We then drained the radiator again. We filled the radiator with water and blue-devil, and let idle for 1 hour. I then test drove it, and it heated up a little. We filled it with coolant, as it was low after idling, and drove it for 30 minutes. All was great.. no coolant smell from the exhaust, both fans worked, no overheating, etc.

The next day it started up great again, and I drove it 200 miles back to Orlando. Towards the end it started to overheat again, and once I parked the vehicle, it again let white smoke out of the exhaust smelling like coolant. I checked the oil both times and there is no water in it, so it looks like it is just a minor blown head gasket. As you can see in the video, the engine does crank, it just doesn't turn. If I wasn't going back to California, I'd just pay the money to get the head gasket fixed, but I don't have time/ was going to sell it anyway.

Vehicle shows minimal signs of rust, just a little under the gas fill up, and minor spots that just look like bad paint. The engine ran very well when the car was running. The transmission would stick a tiny bit going from 2 to 3 gear.

The car is a great car, that will run for many many more miles once this head is fixed. I wanted to give as much info as possible, so you know exactly what you're buying, a very good car, that needs a head gasket fixed.

If you have any questions, please call or message-- 407.434.1502

Honda giving away free Civics in Forza Horizon to celebrate launch

Wed, 16 Jan 2013

Just a friendly reminder from Honda: The Honda Challenge Pack DLC is now available for Forza Horizon. To reward you for the trouble of pressing a few buttons on your Xbox controller, you'll get the 2013 Honda Civic Coupe, an HPD Rally Fit and a 1986 Honda Civic Si Coupe in your garage, and you'll get them free. The event of the new DLC has also kicked off a photo contest that will reward someone with an Xbox 360 console wrapped in a Honda Civic Si theme.
Otherwise, the word "Challenge" keeps coming up because of the chance to run an online race against IndyCar driver Scott Dixon. The track for that digital throwdown has already been decided by Xbox players who voted before January 8. Yet it's not too late to hop into the Honda section in Xbox Live and lay down a time fast enough for a shot at the title "The Driver That Shellacked Scott Dixon," and meeting the man in person.
Check out the press release from Honda below, and the sweetness that is the 1986 Civic Si in the gallery above.

Petrolicious profiles an 'original fanboy' and his 1987 Honda CRX Si

Tue, 28 Jan 2014

Christopher Hoffman is a guy I'd like to meet. He's profiled in the latest installment of Petrolicious, titled Original Fanboy, because of his love and dedication to his 1987 Honda CRX Si. And that's something I can relate to.
My personal car is a black 1988 Honda CRX Si. Road & Track executive editor Sam Smith sold it to me in December 2010 with some 93,000 miles on the odometer (and one bum tire!), and though I don't drive it nearly as much as I should, I'm madly in love with my little Honda. I take immense pride in owning this car, despite my recent neglect. As soon as we're done with this Polar Vortex crap here in the midwestern United States, I'm going to pull the CRX out of its wintertime storage and show it the love it deserves.
Like me, Hoffman fully understands the beauty of the CRX. It's not super powerful, or even quick (when it was new, its 0-60 time was just over 9 seconds), but it's extremely light, and comes from an era when Honda was churning out brilliantly simple cars. The steering is incredibly precise, the transmission perfect, and the chassis superb. Nearly 26 years after its birth, I adore every moment behind the wheel of my CRX. And thanks to this Petrolicious special, I know I'm not alone. Scroll down to watch the full episode.

Honda and Mario Andretti cite pedestrians for excessive slowness

Thu, 05 Jun 2014

Honda and the Andretti family have a lot to celebrate at the moment. Andretti Autosport driver Ryan Hunter-Reay won the 2014 Indianapolis 500 in his Honda-powered car, and Marco Andretti, Mario's grandson, also managed to take the third step on the podium. Apparently, the victory is making them feel magnanimous because Honda and Mario Andretti are giving the chance to ride with him in a two-seat, open wheel car.
To promote the contest, they created the Honda Speed Patrol to ticket anyone going too slow. It's an interesting idea, and the chance to ride with Andretti would be the opportunity of a lifetime. Perhaps the biggest shock of the video, though, might be when you realize how short Mario is when you see him milling about in public. Scroll down to watch one of America's most respected racers cite people in Chicago for being too slow.
