For Sale: 1990 Honda CRX Si. One owner car purchased new in 1990 from a Honda Dealer in NY. The car was immediately prepped for IMSA's Firestone Firehawk Endurance Championship (FFEC) and was never registered or used on the street until 2003. The car competed in the full 1991 FFEC season and part of the 1992 season. In 1991 it finished the 24 hours of Watkins Glenn and in 1992 in finished 7th at Laguna Seca. This was the last time the car saw competition. In august 1992 the car was stored in a heated garage until 1995 when the car was moved to Phoenix AZ. Between 1995 and 2003 the CRX was slowly converted the car back to a street car. Since 2003 it was used the car for occasion commuting and the occasional track day . The car has 17,767 original miles.

The good points:
This car has under 18,000 original miles, no that is not a misprint, that's less than eighteen thousand.
The 1.6L single overhead cam has been bored to the maximum allowable limit, balanced and blueprinted with gapless piston rings, ceramic coated piston tops and Teflon coated skirts. The head has been polished and ported. The intake manifold has been extrude honed for larger ports. When the CRX was converted back to a street car a high flow cat, a Mugen header and a cold air intake was installed. The car also has a Brospeed exhaust that includes a resonator. It sounds great, not like most civics with fart can mufflers. The car has no trouble passing emissions and no check engine light. The engine makes most of its power between 6 and 7K rpm and LOVES to rev. The current engine was refreshed recently with bearings and rings.
The bolt in roll cage and racing seats where removed once racing ended and the original interior was re-installed. So the interior is in near perfect condition except where the stereo was stolen and the drivers seat bolster fabric is worn through. I believe the seats are not the original ones but were purchased used in order to convert it back to a street car.
The car has Dunlop Sport 8000 tires on 14 inch ROH 6 spoke wheels. There is plenty of tread left on them but they are 10 years old and are showing signs of dry rot.
Stainless steel braided brake lines with the stock calipers, rotors and pads are in good shape.
The car has Ground Control adjustable coil overs with Koni adjustable shocks and Eibach springs. The shocks and springs were installed recently so they are fairly new.

The sunroof is still intact and operates as normal with the factory electric motor.
All the bushings in the cars suspension and the motor mounts are Mugen performance parts.
There is a Momo steering wheel and gear shift knob installed in the car.
Three years ago a used OEM air conditioner system was installed since this car did not come equipped with A/C. During the install a proper conversion from R12 to 134a was performed. ALL of the O-rings were replaced to the green ones for 134a, completely flushed the system of the old oil and replaced it with the type compatible with 134a. The A/C stopped working because a seal is leaking and the idler pulley was making noise. I will include a BNIB Honda idler pulley.

The bad points:
The body has seen some battle from the track and is still painted and stickered with most of the graphics from the FFEC. The stickers are peeling and the paint is faded. There is almost no body panel that is free of some type of dent or bruise. The hood and the roof are probably the panels free of dings and dents.
The hatch shocks are shot and the hatch falls on your head unless you affix a vice grip.

There is an oil pressure gauge that is "T'ed" into the oil pressure port. The gauge is connected with stainless braided lines from the engine to the gauge. Both the idiot light and the oil pressure gauge work and the engine produces a sold 80psi of oil pressure.

Mounted in the cargo box in the rear hatch is a Nakamichi P300 amp that is 2 channel 75 watts per channel. This amp is VERY clean and was discontinued by Nakamichi years ago but is highly sought after in the used market.
In the doors are Rockford Fosgate speakers; QSD216 Q SERIES: 6.5

The driver and passenger side taillights are damaged and cracked.

The CV boots are leaking due to the car sitting for extended periods of times and there is a minor oil leak.
I have the car fax validating the mileage.

I will include the the following BRAND NEW IN BOX Honda parts for this vehicle: All new moldings, the lower cladding, lower door caps, passenger side front fender, new quarter window seals, sunroof seal, A/C idler pulley, center radio trim bezel with storage pocket.

I reserve the right to cancel this auction at any time. This car will probably sell before the auction is over. Don't miss this once in a lifetime opportunity to own a low mileage CRX with a interesting history. When this car is properly re painted it will be worth a lot of money.

I am the second owner and I have owned this car for almost 2 years. I wanted to restore it but I just do not have the time and I am looking at buying another project car. Feel free to call me @ 443-226- FIVE NINE FOUR ZERO

Kayaba, Sumitomo to pay millions for price-fixing in US

Sat, Sep 19 2015

Kayaba Industry Co, which does business in the US as suspension parts maker KYB, and Sumitomo Electric Industries are facing payments in the millions to settle price-fixing cases about the components that they make. As part of the Department of Justice's ongoing crackdown of price fixing in the auto industry, KYB agreed to pay $62 million and pleaded guilty to conspiracy to set the cost of shock absorbers from the mid '90s through 2012. The company allegedly worked with co-conspirators to keep the cost of the parts high, and those components then made it into vehicles from Honda, Kawasaki, Nissan, Subaru, Suzuki, and Toyota. "Any collusive agreement among competitors to restrict price competition undercuts our free enterprise system and violates the law," said Carter M. Stewart, US Attorney of the Southern District of Ohio, in the DoJ's announcement. Over the past few years, the DoJ has brought cases against 37 parts suppliers and 55 executives, leading to over $2.6 billion in fines. The investigations haven't always been so successful – some of the Japanese execs fled from the US to avoid prosecution. Critics allege that price fixing is simply how business is done. According to Automotive News, Sumitomo Electric Industries is also facing a $50 million settlement in a civil lawsuit that's related to price fixing of parts like wiring harnesses and heater control panels. The plaintiffs include owners and dealers that purchased vehicles with these parts. The company asserts that the violations are from before 2010, and it now has different process in place to avoid further violations. KYB Agrees to Plead Guilty and Pay $62 Million Criminal Fine for Fixing Price of Shock Absorbers Kayaba Industry Co. Ltd., dba KYB Corporation (KYB) has agreed to plead guilty and to pay a $62 million criminal fine for its role in a conspiracy to fix the price of shock absorbers installed in cars and motorcycles sold to U.S. consumers. According to charges filed today, KYB conspired from the mid-1990s until 2012 to fix the prices of shock absorbers sold to Fuji Heavy Industries Ltd. (manufacturer of Subaru vehicles), Honda Motor Co. Ltd., Kawasaki Heavy Industries Ltd., Nissan Motor Company Ltd., Suzuki Motor Corporation and Toyota Motor Company, including their subsidiaries in the United States.

J.D. Power study sees new car dependability problems increase for first time since 1998

Wed, 12 Feb 2014

For the first time since 1998, J.D. Power and Associates says its data shows that the average number of problems per 100 cars has increased. The finding is the result of the firm's much-touted annual Vehicle Dependability Study, which charts incidents of problems in new vehicle purchases over three years from 41,000 respondents.
Looking at first-owner cars from the 2011 model year, the study found an average of 133 problems per 100 cars (PP100, for short), up 6 percent from 126 PP100 in last year's study, which covered 2010 model-year vehicles. Disturbingly, the bulk of the increase is being attributed to engine and transmission problems, with a 6 PP100 boost.
Interestingly, JDP notes that "the decline in quality is particularly acute for vehicles with four-cylinder engines, where problem levels increase by nearly 10 PP100." Its findings also noticed that large diesel engines also tended to be more problematic than most five- and six-cylinder engines.

In Honda Super Bowl ad, Ridgeline teaches sheep to sing

Tue, Feb 2 2016

Honda hopes that its Super Bowl ad's combination of a classic Queen song and an adorable premise are enough to get customers excited about the 2017 Ridgeline. The 60-second spot for the new pickup airs during the game's third quarter, and the commercial is sure to leave Somebody to Love stuck in your head. The spot titled A New Truck to Love stars a sheep rancher who likes to listen to Freddie Mercury while hauling animals to the field. He even uses the truck's bed-mounted stereo to enjoy some tunes while at work. The sheep apparently like Queen's songs because they start singing along when their owner is away. This is the one of the better auto ads for Super Bowl 50 that we've seen yet. A look at the truck's capabilities would be nice, but at least the commercial's premise is highly enjoyable. Plus, it's hard not to enjoy Queen. Honda's spot could be a popular one during this year's game. Innovative 2017 Honda Ridgeline Pickup Leads the Flock in New Super Bowl Commercial Feb 1, 2016 60-second commercial features music by Queen, performed by some unlikely and unforgettable co-stars Directed by Bryan Buckley, creator of more than 40 Super Bowl ads Extensive multiplatform campaign to support launch of new TV spot Consumers can enter to win a first drive of new Honda truck at "Camp Ridgeline" Honda today offered a sneak peek of the brand's commercial for Super Bowl 50 starring the highly innovative 2017 Honda Ridgeline pickup, a wily herding dog and a flock of sheep singing a classic Queen song, "Somebody to Love." Fans tuning in to Super Bowl 50 on Sunday, Feb. 7, will see the 60-second spot, "A New Truck to Love," during the third quarter, but the entertaining commercial is now available for viewing in its entirety on Honda's YouTube channel (http://honda.us/BigGameCommercial). Directed by Oscar-nominated director Bryan Buckley — dubbed "King of the Super Bowl" for his role in bringing to life more than 40 commercials for the big game Â— the new Honda commercial imagines how a rancher might use one of Ridgeline's available features, the industry's very first factory truck-bed audio system, enabling music to play outside the truck. This poses the question, "What if his sheep learned how to sing?" with the commercial showing the sheep being dropped off by the new Ridgeline and then performing the classic Queen hit after the rancher departs. The spot signals not only Honda's return to the Super Bowl, but the return of the all-new Ridgeline to market.
