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.

Honda's I Like Sports ad will have you reaching for your pom-poms

Fri, May 1 2015

Autoblog editor Greg Migliore recently wrote a great piece looking at the burgeoning re-emergence of Honda as the performance brand. Now, the company is showing some reasons why that really might be the case, with a short ad from Japan titled I Like Sports. The commercial acts as a showcase for Honda's performance prowess on the street and around the track from the recent past, present, and the near future. The spot gives the company's models a chance to show why they are worth getting excited about. There are glimpses of vehicles like the Japan-only S660, upcoming Civic Type R, S2000, the preceding and forthcoming NSX, the MotoGP bike, and Formula 1 car. Despite being just a minute long, the ad does a great job at hinting at a brand that can appeal to people who want a little excitement during a drive.

Honda Ridgeline to take two-year dirt nap before resurrection

Sun, 14 Jul 2013

Three years ago, Honda said there would be no new-generation Honda Ridgeline coming in 2011. In late 2011, when there was still no word on a replacement for the little truck that's been carrying on pretty much the same since 2006, within the space of a month both Honda's US truck planner and the CEO of American Honda said the Ridgeline would continue and that it was an integral part of the lineup.
But that doesn't mean it can't take a two-year timeout. A report in Ward's Auto says that the Lincoln, AL plant that builds the Ridgeline will cease its production in September, 2014 and a new one won't arrive until 2016. That's a walk-back from when the plan was to have the current truck run until a week before the next-generation truck went into production. Even so, Honda still says the Ridgeline isn't going away forever, a company spokesman telling Ward's, "Ridgeline continues to be an important part of our lineup."
2016 is a long way away, though, and we all know how quickly a product line put into a coma can end up suffering fatal consequences. Even though we keep talking about the Ridgeline, perhaps what Honda is actually saying is that the small pickup market is important to them, and they're working on a way to take better advantage of it than the Ridgeline was doing. We'll find out one way or the other in three years.

Honda Civic Type R clocks 7:50.63 front-drive 'Ring record

Tue, Mar 3 2015

Lapping the Nurburgring in under seven minutes may be the ultimate bragging right for supercars, but further back down the field, a battle is being waged between front-drive hot hatches to see which can scope a lap time under eight. Seat was first to claim the crown with the Leon Cupra at 7:58, which was subsequently beaten by the Renaultsport Megane 275 Trophy-R at 7:54. All the while Honda pledged to take the record with the new Civic Type R. And that's just what it's done. As you can see from the video above, Honda's new hot hatch clocked a time of 7:50.63, making it the fastest front-driver ever to lap the Nordschleife and blindingly fast by any account. Honda suggests that the lap was clocked while testing the stock street-legal rubber (and not on slicks) and claims that the roll cage clearly seen in the video was fitted "for safety reasons and not to add rigidity," with extraneous equipment like the front passenger seat and audio system were removed to compensate for the cage's weight. Of course with no official sanctioning body verifying these times and the equipment in which they're achieved, they're a subject of much debate, but there's no getting around the fact that the new Civic Type R is one very serious piece of machinery indeed. NEW HONDA CIVIC TYPE R THROWS DOWN NURBURGRING GAUNTLET - Honda announces Nurburgring lap time for Civic Type R development car - 7 minutes 50.63 seconds lap time is unmatched in the front-wheel drive hot hatch class - Lap time achieved in development car with technical specifications representative of the final production car At the world premiere of its all-new Civic Type R at the 2015 Geneva Motor Show (5 - 15 March; Stand 4250, Hall 4), Honda announced that a development car had achieved a 7 minutes 50.63 seconds lap time of the legendary 20.8 km/12.9 mile Nurburgring Nordschleife in Germany. This time is unmatched by any other front-wheel drive performance hatchback. The lap time was achieved during the final phase of pre-production testing in May 2014 by a Civic Type R development car. The development car was in a standard state of engine tune, with suspension, drivetrain, exhaust, brakes and the aerodynamic package identical to those of the production Civic Type R. The removal of equipment such as air conditioning, the front passenger seat and audio equipment offset the additional weight of a full roll cage (installed specifically for safety reasons and not to add rigidity).
