1991 Honda CRX Si with 227,285 miles (does not run- engine jumps timing). 2nd owner of car- purchased in NH. Exterior is Tahitian Green Pearl (1991 only color). Has extremely rare seats from JDM ZC model- diagonal pastel stripes instead of USDM horizontal red stripes. Seats are in almost new condition, no rips, burns, tears- side bolsters and seat fabric are in perfect condition. Originally paid over $600 for them (came from Okinawa) and the seat mounting rails were converted to fit the 89-91 US cars (all cars outside North America used the 1988 US design seat rails for all four model years). Engine has low-restriction cone filter intake and stainless 4-2-1 header with 60mm B-pipe. Catalytic converter is 2 years old. New alternator and radiator, distributor replaced 3 years ago. Aftermarket cruise control (SCS Frigette) installed and will include copy of original instruction manual. 15” Ultra alloy wheels and Kumho all-season 205/50R15 tires (60+% tread). Honda CRV CD/AM/FM radio installed (with security code). Car has A/C but Freon leaked-out, needs leak found & recharged (still R-12). 5 speed manual transmission still shifts smoothly.

Note- seller reserves right to cancel auction before close, as vehicle is also listed for private sale locally.

Car overheated while wife was driving, had cylinder head completely rebuilt with new valve seals and deck resurfaced (new metal headgasket, not composite). Have spent over $2000 attempting to get running, local Honda dealer could not get the engine to stay in time.

Body needs major work because of typical rust - both rear quarter panels need replacing and car definitely needs a fresh coat of paint.

If you count just the value of the easily removable parts (seats- a design never sold in the USA, new radiator, freshly refurbished head, new alternator, and exhaust system, hard to find Honda center aimrest/storage bin- those items alone are worth at least $1200, if not more. And the rear privacy panel for the trunk area is in virtually new condition as well- try and find a good one of those!

Shipping- buyer will have to have the car towed, as the engine cranks, fires, but will not run long enough to move the car (sitting on a paved pad in my back yard).

Also have a full set of OEM Honda 13” Gold Crosslace alloy wheels with 175/70-13 all-season tires (80+% thread) plus one extra alloy rim (additional cost to purchase - see my other ebay auctions). Wheels will fit on the Si (are from my older DX). This is my last CRX (#5 over 28 years of ownership) and I have a lot of loose CRX components, including a stainless dual-tip muffler that needs a new flange welded-on, otherwise is perfect. Inquire about a package deal so I can clean house!

British Honda CR-V looks tough, gets diesel and 9-speed auto

Wed, 01 Oct 2014

Honda just took the wraps off of its thoroughly updated 2015 CR-V for the US, with a touch more style and improved powertrain to provide more torque and better fuel economy. In our First Drive, we found that all of the changes really focused the CUV even more towards the desires of its audience of mostly families. European crossover shoppers don't have to wait too long to see these tweaks for themselves and get a few exclusive upgrades of their own.
While US models get a torquier gasoline engine, Europe loves its diesels. Therefore, the CR-V over there benefits from a more powerful 1.6-liter i-DTEC oil-burner that produces 158 horsepower and 258 pound-feet of torque. This new addition is only available on the four-wheel drive version, and it replaces the previous 2.2-liter diesel in the lineup. Also as opposed to the CVT here, there's now an optional nine-speed automatic gearbox across the pond.
According to Honda, the new diesel with a six-speed manual drops emissions by 11 percent compared to its predecessor. Opting for the nine-speed auto makes things 20 percent cleaner in contrast to the previous 2.2-liter CR-V with an auto.

Honda invests $215M in Ohio Earth Dreams production

Fri, 09 Aug 2013

Honda has announced a $215 million investment in a pair of its Ohio operations, taking its total tally for North American operations up to $2.7 billion in three years. The announcement was made at the 2013 Center For Automotive Research Management Briefing Seminars in Traverse City.
$180 million of the investment is earmarked for Honda's Anna, OH engine plant. The money will allow the facility to increase its aluminum die casting and increase production of Honda's Earth Dreams Technology engines. Think of Earth Dreams as sort of like Mazda's Skyactiv line, only ED is limited to a new line of engines, rather than a full suite of automotive components. Anna will also be getting a new technical center to train engineers, techs, and line workers on powertrain technology.
The remaining $35 million is slated for Honda's main Ohio operations in Marysville. A 160,000-square-foot facility will be constructed near Honda's current properties, which will house another technical training center to focus on automotive manufacturing. The new building will also house Honda's North American Services group, as well as a new heritage center.

Honda ditching Takata for next Accord's airbags

Sat, Jan 24 2015

Today brings unsurprising news that Honda will move away from Takata and source airbags for the next-generation Accord, among other models, from one of the embattled company's competitors. Both companies have been in headlines of late after the former recalled millions of vehicles that were fitted with the latter's airbag inflators, which had the unpleasant tendency to spew shrapnel at consumers. The move, as Reuters explains it, is particularly devastating for Takata. Honda is the company's largest customer, and the Accord represents its biggest product, accounting for over a quarter of the company's sales last year. It gets worse, though, as a confidential source with knowledge of the situation is reporting to Reuters that both the 2016 CR-V and Odyssey will source their airbags from Toyoda Gosei. If true, that'd mean that Takata will be losing out on more than half the cars Honda sells in the US market. At this point, Takata, Honda and Toyoda Gosei have all passed on opportunities to comment to Reuters.
