Up for sale is my 1991 CRX Si, with a built and turbo'd B16 VTEC. This car was built right, and is very clean (and very quick)! I bought this from my friend a while back, after helping him build it. This has been a great daily driver, but I got a new job and need a truck, so she has to go.

CONDITION (Important, please read)

Exterior: 6/10 Could certainly use a few touch-ups here and there, but very clean for a CRX/EF. Windshield is cracked, but it hasn't spread since I've owned the car. Paint is coming off/small dent on driver's side (see pics), minor scratches here and there. The paint job was done with a gun; it's not perfect by any means, but it looks better than a lot of DIY jobs I've seen out there. Also, I had a separate key for the doors/trunk, but I lost it. The trunk is locked, and the passenger door can lock, but if you want to lock the driver's side door, you'll need to get a key made. The mesh wheels have regular wear and tear, but shine up nicely.

Interior: 8/10 No headliner, but the metal is rust-free, clean, and like-new. Some small scratches and blemishes on driver's side pillar. A/F still needs to be hooked up, I just haven't had time to get around to it. No stereo at the moment due to gauges occupying all available DIN space. But you could install one with some creative mounting, or in the glove box for that stealthy feel. Interior is in good condition for a 23 year old car. Seats have a few small blemishes/marks, and the tear mentioned above, but otherwise very clean.

Mechanical: 8.5/10 Everything works flawlessly and reliably. For a built and turbo'd motor, I still get 32+ MPG on the highway. CEL for code 9 has shown since the build/swap, and there is a subtle head tick -- the valves may need slight adjusting, but it runs great and pulls strung and hard just the way it is. Clutch grabs hard and strong, no grinds, pop-outs, etc. Doesn't burn, leak, or smoke oil or coolant. Temp always stays cool, even after spirited driving. The clutch "chatters" a little bit, but this is perfectly normal for a 6 puck unsprung clutch. No slips whatsoever. Brakes are strong as well. The only thing this car will potentially need is new tires in the next few months, and maybe an alignment ($75 at your local tire shop). Just rotated the tires the other day, however.

All bulbs, turn signals, brake lights, headlights, high beams, etc. work great.

This car is loud, fast, and tons of fun. But just to give fair warning, if you've never driven a 6 puck unsprung clutch before, it's going to take some serious getting used to. The engagement point is very specific -- you just can't slip it in first. It took me about 2 weeks to get used to it, but I daily drive it now with no problems!

----------------------------------

This car is (believe it or not) my third CRX. She's an absolute joy to drive, but it's time to let someone else enjoy it. Feel free to ask any questions you like. You can message me through ebay or shoot me a text at 513-824-1430. Please no calls (I work during the day), texts are fine any time, 24/7, though it might take me a little while to get back to you if I'm in the middle of something or sleeping.

Cash or cashier's check only. Local pickup only. Clean OH title in hand. Buyer is responsible for pickup within 7 days of auction end.

Meet the Kanjozoku, Osaka's infamous street racers

Thu, 17 Jul 2014

Street racing is obviously illegal and incredibly dangerous, but that has never stopped people from doing it. While we don't hear nearly as much about the scourge of Japanese tuner cars as when The Fast and the Furious first hit theaters over a decade ago, illegal street racing is still bubbling under the surface all over the island nation. An excellent new documentary short from Bowls Films takes a look at the Kanjozoku from Osaka, Japan; a group that claims to be partially responsible for the tuning style known as JDM.
The group gets their name from their preferred route known as the Kanjo. It's a 4.77-mile long loop of connected highways running right through the city of Osaka. You might expect a hardcore group of illegal Japanese racers to show up with highly tuned Nissan GT-R and Toyota Supra coupes, but the Kanjozoku evidently eschew all of the others in favor of one particular car that they love: the Honda Civic.
According to the video, that vehicle of choice came in part from the city's location. Osaka was relatively near the one-make Civic races held at Japan's legendary Suzuka racetrack. The hatchbacks thus became the default weapons for the Kanjozoku's street battles.

Honda recalls 2012-13 Fit Sport models over stability control issue

Mon, 29 Apr 2013

Honda is recalling 43,782 examples of the 2012 and 2013 Fit Sport in the US and close to 2,000 more in Canada. During federal compliance testing it was discovered that the software for the Vehicle Stability Assist allows an excessive tilt angle before applying the brakes to prevent a crash. The issue only affects Fit Sports equipped with a certain kind of tire.
Honda will notify owners in mid-May, at which time owners can take their cars to dealers to have the stability control software updated free of charge. There's a press release from Honda below with more details.

Recharge Wrap-up: Honda Legend Sport Hybrid launching in Japan; driving cross-country on chicken fat

Tue, Nov 11 2014

Honda will begin sales in Japan of the Legend Sport Hybrid SH-AWD in January. The Legend is Japan's answer to the Acura RLX Sport Hybrid sold in the US. Up front, the new flagship sedan uses a 3.5-liter V6 with cylinder deactivation and a seven-speed, dual-clutch transmission with integrated electric motor. In the rear, a dual electric motor unit supplies power to the wheels. The three electric motors are also used for generating electricity during deceleration. The car has three drive modes, including EV Drive, Hybrid Drive and Engine Drive. The result is a fuel economy rating of 40 mpg, according to the JC08 cycle. Read more at Green Car Congress or in Honda's press release below. While Jay Leno explains how marketing early electric cars toward women caused them to lose out to internal combustion, the same can't be said about the current era of EVs. Leno says that early EVs, like Leno's beloved Baker, appealed to women because they were quiet, clean, and didn't require cranking to start them. This led to accessorization marketed toward women, causing men - who had more buying power than women at the time - to shy away from EVs. This time around, though, EVs target a broader audience in a different culture from the early 20th century. See Leno explain the early EV culture while driving his Baker Electric in the video below and read more at Hybrid Cars. GKN's two-speed eAxle allows EVs to make the most of both acceleration and top speed. Single-speed transmissions must sacrifice top speed for acceleration, or vice versa. In addition to improving performance at all speeds and increasing range, the GKN's eAxle also performs well in terms of NVH, providing seamless shifts and low gear noise. In order to package the eAxle in the BMW i8, the unit is just 12.8 inches by 22.1 inches by 12.3 inches and weighs 60 pounds. Read more at Green Car Congress. An alternative fuels researcher at Middle Tennessee State University will drive a truck powered by chicken fat biodiesel across the country. Professor Cliff Ricketts is driving a converted 1981 Volkswagen Rabbit pickup from Key West, FL to Seattle, WA to demonstrate the viability of chicken fat as a fuel. Ricketts admits, though, that the truck's exhaust stack is loud and smells like French fries. Read more at Domestic Fuel. This content is hosted by a third party.
