This CRX HF weighing in at a svelte 1,713 pounds is bone stock and has the distinction of Honda's early fuel miser - -  originally rated at 52-55 MPG highway. Mine was recently tested at 48 MPG while being driven on a two lane highway maintaining a speed of 60-65 MPH. Besides being a great commuter car its future may also be at the drag strip with a later model  V-tec motor because it is the lightest CRX built which translates into low ETs.  This was accomplished by using plastic front fenders, aluminum air filter housing and rear brake drums, smaller axles, carbon valve cover and other misc. pieces.
All of the gauges operate correctly* including the clock and heater controls. The A/C works but I would not advertise it as "ice cold" as some do. The rear defogger grid is not working because of broken wires in the joint at the rear hatch hinge area. The up-shift* indicator has a mind of its own since it will randomly signal for an up-shift when in 5th gear !
All the tires are in good condition - the two new ones are also included in this auction (these were bought recently for future inventory).
The AM-FM-Cassette radio has been up-dated with a newer model using a harness adapter with no cut wires during installation. It has 2 front & 2 rear speakers and the right front will distort if bass signal is boosted.
One of the photos will show a close-up picture of a recent rust area at the base of the passenger side pillar. The rest of the photos are self explanatory - be sure to notice the large amount of spares that go with this car including the original CRX brochure that appears as new.  
The following items have been replaced;

  • Rear hatch lid struts   225K
  • Rear Brake pads  232K
  • Ignition switch (harness connector)  220K
  • O-2 Sensor (5 wire), front ball joints  192K

  • Water pump, Timing belt, clutch disc, rear main seal  186K
  • Gear shift Control Rod, Muffler  185K
  • Full carpets, rear wheel bearings   (Front Bearings replaced also prior to this mileage) 180K
  • Engine was replaced by prior owner sometime between 100K & 175K

Honda boss says Chinese drivers don't want green cars

Wed, 24 Apr 2013

According to The Wall Street Journal, Honda CEO Takanobu Ito believes that China's nascent car-buying demographic isn't all that interested in hybrid cars - at least not yet. The emissions story doesn't resonate with them, and certainly not for the higher purchase premium such models usually carry. What they really want, Ito believes, is reliable, affordable cars that fit their needs. When it comes to Honda sales, the numbers would appear to jibe with his thoughts: Honda sold 598,577 vehicles in China last year through its two joint ventures, yet just 542 of them were hybrids - not even a tenth of a percent. However, Toyota sold 840,500 cars in China last year, and two percent of that total, 17,300 units, were hybrids, which is closer to the still-piddling three-percent ratio of sales that Toyota posted in the US last year.
Honda offers the Insight, Fit Hybrid and CR-Z in China and plans to make components for its Integrated Motor Assist hybrid system there from next year, the hope being it will reduce the cost of hybrid cars for local buyers. That was one part of the plan Honda laid out last year to popularize its IMA system in China. Other initiatives include the introduction of a new hybrid system for mid-sized and large vehicles and a plug-in hybrid. Among the four new vehicles Honda showed during this weekend's press day for the Shanghai Motor Show (including the Concept M minivan pictured above) there was not a single hybrid among them.

Honda and Acura electric crossovers will be built by General Motors

Wed, Jan 6 2021

General Motors will partially offset the cost of developing electric technology by manufacturing battery-powered cars for Honda and Acura, according to an unverified report. Ultium battery technology is at the center of the deal. Without citing sources, industry trade journal Automotive News wrote that Honda has agreed to enlist rival-turned-partner General Motors as one of its EV suppliers during the first half of the 2020s. The factory that currently builds Chevrolet's Blazer and Equinox in Ramos Arizpe, Mexico, will begin manufacturing a Honda crossover in 2023, meaning it likely won't arrive until the 2024 model year. On the other side of the border, the former Saturn plant in Spring Hill, Tennessee, will churn out an Acura crossover beginning in 2024, about two years after it starts making the Cadillac Lyriq. Neither model has been revealed, and Honda hasn't commented on the report. Insiders familiar with the contents of the firm's product pipeline told Automotive News that both crossovers will be about as big as the Lyriq (pictured), which will be close in size to the 190-inch long XT5. Power for the two models will come from the Ultium battery technology that General Motors is developing for over a dozen electric cars, including the GMC Hummer and a Chevrolet-badged pickup we might discover next week during CES 2021. Both EVs will be built by General Motors, and they'll be powered by General Motors-developed technology (some will even receive OnStar and the hands-free Super Cruise driver assistance system), but everything motorists see and touch will be Honda- or Acura-specific. We're not expecting that the tie-up will spawn a pair of blandly badge-engineered crossovers; stylists will likely give each one its own design identity inside and out. Honda had previously confirmed plans to build at least two electric models on General Motors bones, and it announced that its American partner would also handle manufacturing, but this is the first time executives are throwing Acura onto the stage. What remains to be seen — assuming the report is accurate — is whether the Lyriq will compete directly against its Acura-branded sister model, or if they'll be positioned in different segments.

Honda Civic Type-R caught out in the cold

Thu, Jan 15 2015

The Honda Civic Type R already has an award winning ad campaign, and the concept keeps showing up at auto shows around the world. What the model doesn't possess yet are firm production specs, and as these latest spy shots show, Honda is still doing cold weather testing in Sweden on its future hot hatch. The striking thing about this test car is just how similar it is to an earlier version wearing no camouflage at all. Both sport a toned down body kit compared to the concepts. The obfuscation makes the exact lines on this latest prototype hard to spot, but the two models appear practically identical. Although, at the rear, the taillights might now be slightly reshaped, compared to earlier. As of the 2014 Paris Motor Show, the Civic Type R was scheduled for a 2015 release in Europe. In concept form, it sported a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder making 276 horsepower and routed power to the front wheels through a six-speed manual gearbox. Adaptive dampers and a system called "steer axis" to reduce torque steer were promised to get the grunt to the ground effectively. The company even had a goal of making the new hatch the world's fastest front-wheel drive vehicle around the Nurburgring Nordschleife, too. Rumor has it, this potent mill might even cross the Atlantic for a Honda product in the US. Until then, check out the gallery to see the latest shots of what the Type R has in store for Europe at some point in 2015.
