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!

Honda To Expand Takata Air Bag Recall Nationwide

Wed, Dec 3 2014

Under pressure from federal regulators, Honda is expanding a recall of driver's side air bags to all 50 states. The air bags, made by Japanese supplier Takata Corp., can explode with too much force, sending metal shrapnel into the passenger compartment. Takata insists that current recalls covering 8 million U.S. cars in high-humidity areas are sufficient. But the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration wants the recalls expanded nationwide after some incidents outside the high-humidity zones. Rick Schosteck, Honda's executive vice president for North America, told House lawmakers Wednesday that Honda will expand the regional recall it began in June, but will continue to prioritize high-humidity areas. He also said Honda is working with other air bag manufacturers to make sure it has enough parts. Related Gallery Consumer Reports Least Loved Cars 2014 Recalls Honda Safety NHTSA list

Watch these guys creatively cover No Diggity in a Honda Civic

Mon, 17 Feb 2014

People do some weird things in their cars. Take these two gentlemen and their Honda Civic. Rather than tune in to satellite radio or hook up an iPod, they've opted to create their own music.
YouTube musician Flula (in the passenger seat) and his friend Chester perform a cover of Blackstreet's Number-One Billboard hit, "No Diggity," complete with the requisite auto tuning, all while on the go. Is it weird that we almost prefer this wacky version to the original '90s R&B classic? Take a look - and a listen - by scrolling below, and note that we've included the original song featuring Dr. Dre... you know, for comparative purposes.

Acura NSX bodywork to be sheathed in zirconium e-coat, fewer paint layers

Tue, 05 Aug 2014

Automakers make halo cars to drum up excitement and show off what they can do, but there's more to it than that. Advanced platforms allow a company's engineers to experiment with all sorts of technologies. And in the case of the upcoming new Acura NSX, that includes new paint processes.
Speaking with Autoline in this video interview, Honda's North American Senior VP Jon Minto talked about an innovative zirconium e-coat which it's applying to the new NSX. Unlike some experimental paints developed for Formula One, however, this coating is not designed to minimize drag or enhance cooling: it's designed to be more environmentally friendly.
It's one of a few measures which Honda is implementing on the NSX before expanding it to more accessible models, along with another process that uses fewer coats to reduce energy consumption by 40 percent. Watch the interview with Autoline host John McElroy right here.
