I bought this CRX in January 2013 because I've always wanted a first generation CRX that wasn't a flintstone mobile and this one came up as a super original car. No drivetrain swaps, not even a cone airfilter. The only "enhancements" are the eightiestastic louvers on the hatch and a 1980s high quality stereo install. Reason for sale - I don't use it much anymore and am consolidating my fleet so I can buy a "proper" race car.

161k on the odometer, I'm the third owner, was bought new in Texas (dealer sticker still on the car and the somewhat dog eared original owners manual confirms that), lived out in Fallon NV for a long time. Typical Southwestern car issues (dry/shrunk rubber), paint on the hood is faded and has been polished through to the primer on one "ridge" of the hood. I've had the timing belt changed shortly after I bought it and changed out the original shocks for a set of KYB GR2s as the original shocks had exceeded their "throw away by date" by at least a decade. It rides like one of these little buzzboxes should, always starts and generally just works like a Honda should.

At some point the speakers that were part of the original 80s install were replaced and someone cut holes in the doorcards for the speakers. Things like that upset me, so I sourced a set of uncut door cars in good condition and the correct color. Of course they come with the car. The previous owner also tried to "repair" the sun visors by putting in new material and then stitching them together (please see photo). Unfortunately I have not found a good set of sun visors to replace these.

I also had the pedal mechanism replaced with a good used one as the one that is original to the car suffered from the usual broken welds.

Known issues:

a/c compressor works but is rattling. I don't think it's long for this world
Rear window wiper and washer jet not working
Clunking noise from the passenger side rear shock as I reused the top mounting rubbers and they have a little play
The front rubber lip is missing
It has a little rust in the bottom corners of the windshield frame. Please see pictures
A couple of small cracks in the fenders and the front panel. Please see pictures, the cracking is very minimal.
Err. That's it.

Car comes with two uncut door cards, rear speaker mounts and covers, replacement front Brembo disks, Porterfield R4S pads and calipers.

Car is in Carson City, NV. If you want to do a fly&drive, I'm happy to pick you up from the airport in Reno, NV.

Clear and clean NV title in hand. Please let me know if you require more photos of specific areas of the car, I'm happy to send them to you if necessary. Also, if you want to inspect the car in person please contact me so we can arrange to meet up.

Very reasonable reserve price.

From the Washington Auto Show today, Green Car Journal's Ron Cogan announced three different fuel-efficient vehicle awards. They were: 2016 Connected Green Car of the Year: Chevy Malibu Hybrid 2016 Luxury Green Car of the Year: Volvo XC90 T8 2016 Green SUV of the Year: Honda HR-V The Volvo was nominated in two categories, but it did not win the Connected Green Car of the Year. Speaking of non-winners, the other green SUV finalists were the BMW X1 XDrive28i, Hyundai Tucson, Mazda CX-3, and Toyota RAV4 Hybrid. The other Luxury Green Car finalists included the BMW x5 xDrive40e, Lexus RX 450h, Porsche Cayenne S E-Hybrid, and the Mercedes-Benz C350e. Finally, the Audi A3 e-tron, BMW 330e, Toyota Prius, and Volvo XC90 T8 were the runners up for Connected Green Car. 2016 Connected Green Car of the Year, Green SUV of the Year, Luxury Green Car of the Year Winners Announced WASHINGTON, Jan. 21, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Green Car Journal has announced the winners of its prestigious 2016 Green Car Awards at a press conference held today during the Washington Auto Show's Public Policy Day in Washington DC. Distinguished as 2016 Luxury Green Car of the Year™ is Volvo's new XC90 T8. The Chevrolet Malibu Hybrid tops the field as 2016 Connected Green Car of the YearÂ™ and Honda's HR-V earns Green Car Journal's 2016 Green SUV of the YearÂ™. "These are stand-out vehicles in an increasingly sophisticated and appealing field of 'green' cars," said Ron Cogan, editor and publisher of Green Car Journal and CarsOfChange.com. "To make the cut as a finalist is a real achievement in itself considering the considerable competition in the market today. Rising to the top as award winners means these three exceptional vehicles set a benchmark in the auto industry's effort to create vehicles that are desirable and efficient, while also achieving environmental milestones so important for our driving future." The Green Car Awards are a key feature of The Washington Auto Show, the "public policy show" on the auto show circuit and one that puts a priority on safety and sustainability. "We are extremely proud of our partnership with Ron Cogan, whose eagerly anticipated suite of awards help shape the national conversation on the innovations that will drive our industry and country forward," said Geoff Pohanka, chairman of The Washington Auto Show.

2015 Honda Civic Type R prototype

Mon, 02 Dec 2013

With a name like Earth Dreams, you'd be forgiven for assuming that Honda's new family of turbocharged VTEC engines is more about environmental credentials than performance. And to a large degree they are - particularly in 1.0- and 1.5-liter forms. But the 2.0 is another beast altogether.
Thanks to a high-output turbocharger, direct injection, a high-performance cooling system and, of course, variable valve timing, Honda's new 2.0-liter four produces upwards of 280 horsepower while still complying with upcoming Euro 6 emissions standards. Although actual output has yet to be confirmed, that preliminary figure already compares favorably with the Ford Focus ST (252 hp) and Mazdaspeed3 (274 hp) and rests comfortably in between the Volkswagen GTI (270 hp) and Golf R (296 hp).
Although Honda has already shoehorned the smaller 1.5-liter turbo four and 1.0-liter turbo three-cylinder engines into an Acura ILX and another Civic hatchback, the home it gave the 2.0 betrays more than an engine swap. What you see here is essentially the next Civic Type R, following a long line of Honda hot hatches. With this latest model, the Japanese automaker is targeting the front-drive lap record at the Nürburgring that belongs to the Renaultsport Megane Trophy and before that, to the lightweight Megane R26.R. A tall order, to be sure, so we headed to Honda's R&D center in Tochigi, Japan, to take it out for a ride.
