The history behind the car.

Car was purchased and sat for around a year, didn't know what I wanted to do with it. Having had an 88 Hatch, 93 Hatch, & a 94 Coupe as a daily, I grew tired of the 94 coupe. Decided to swap most of the parts off the 94 to this 91, and return the 94 to stock and sell it. I drove the car for about 18 months, and having found a great deal on a Cadillac STS, parked the civic and started driving the Cadillac. Eventually the engine in the STS developed a rod knock, so I swapped in a Optima Yellow top and put the 91 back on the road. After about a month, the engine decided to throw in the towel, and the #2 Cylinder has no compression. Either the rings got stuck, or a there's a break/crack in the piston that I can't see with the videoscope. I've tried almost all methods to free the rings (gasoline/trans fluid/mystery oil) all with no success. The car will need to have the bottom end rebuilt or replaced. The engine is about 11 years old, and was supercharged for 9 or those years (12psi). Engine has been in all of my previous civics, and supercharger kit/MSD/Ported head setup has been in the last 3. Supercharger has about 35K on it since rebuild/porting. The upper tensior pulley will need new bearings as well, as the inner bearing is gone.


The Body isn't as bad as some EF Civics of this age (23 years). Has typical rocker rust (exterior), inner structure solid. Rust in rear passenger corner above light. When I purchased the car, hood and core support were caved in as a result of a tree or other large object falling on the car. Hood & Bumper filler are still in black primer coat. Drivers Fender is white, and core support is burgandy. Front could use a little stretching on a frame puller if you wanted perfect alignment from the hood to drivers fender, off by approx 1/8in height. Lens covers for bumper lamps are missing as well. Also worth mentioning, the carbon fiber vinyl has started to peel from the A/B/C pillars and will need to be re-glued. Easily a DIY or take to a trim shop and can be done a couple hours.

Car will need to be towed as it currently doesn't run.

I have roughly $10,000 invested into this car, not counting one penny towards labor. I did all the wrench work myself, interior, exterior, electrical, ALL. If I add a labor figure to this car, @ $60/HR and 10-10HR days (Actual is about double that), it would easily add $6000 to the value. I would like to cut my losses and sell it. HOWEVER, that doesn't mean that I'm looking to give this car away. If you are truly interested, and want a fun car that just needs a little work to be road ready, contact me ASAP. Swapping the engine is literally a Sunday with pizza and beers. Asking price is fairly firm around $4250, not set in stone, but again, NOT GIVING THIS AWAY. Car is located in POSEN, IL. 3 Min off of I57, and 10 Min off of I294. I can possibly arrainge a discounted tow to the surrounding suburbs, but that can be discussed when purchase is being finalized.

New Honda smart cruise control predicts other motorists' future idiocy

Wed, Jan 14 2015

It's not quite "Open the pod bay doors, Hal," but we're getting there: Honda is offering a predictive cruise control system on the Exectuve Grade Honda CR-V in Europe starting this year. Advancing the capabilities of the present adaptive cruise control, the Intelligent Adaptive Cruise Control (i-ACC) will be able to foresee and automatically react to other vehicles cutting in ahead of you up to five seconds ahead of it happening. A research team developed the system after studying European driving patterns for years. The i-ACC keeps track of surrounding cars with a camera and radar, "evaluating relations between multiple vehicles" and running the data through an algorithm to figure out who's going to do what. If it detects another car about to move into your lane, the CR-V brakes softly and a dash light illuminates to let the driver know what's about to happen, then it brakes a little more firmly to keep the proper distance after the other car moves in. Honda says it works in the UK and on The Continent because it knows which side of the road you're driving on. That means it could work here, but our guess is that it will take a while for that happen, our driving patterns being a little more erratic - and that's putting it kindly - than those of our Euro brethren. There's a press release below with more information. Honda to Introduce World's First Predictive Safety Cruise Control System 08.01.2015 - Honda is to introduce the world's first predictive cruise control system known as Intelligent Adaptive Cruise Control (i-ACC), capable of foreseeing and automatically reacting to other vehicles 'cutting-in' to the equipped vehicle's lane. Based on extensive real-world research of typical European driving styles, Honda's Intelligent Adaptive Cruise Control (i-ACC) uses a camera and radar to sense the position of other vehicles on the road. It then applies an algorithm to predict the likelihood of vehicles in neighbouring lanes cutting-in by evaluating relations between multiple vehicles, enabling the equipped vehicle to react quickly, safely and comfortably. i-ACC will make its debut this year on the new European CR-V*, building upon the traditional Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) system. Traditional ACC systems keep a preselected longitudinal velocity, which is only reduced for maintaining a safe distance to a car in front. However, if a vehicle cuts-in from a neighboring lane, the traditional ACC system reacts later thus requiring stronger braking.

Acura ILX Type S could get 300-hp turbo four

Wed, Feb 11 2015

There's good news and bad news when it comes to the new Honda Civic Type R. The good news is that after more than a year of prototypes and concepts, the Japanese automaker's new hot hatch is about to make its production debut next month. The bad news is that it's not coming here, but there is a silver lining in even that dark rain cloud – namely, that Honda plans on slotting its 2.0-liter VTEC turbo four into something that it will actually offer Stateside. Earlier rumors suggested the US donor vehicle would also be a Civic, but the latest intel indicates it could be something different, albeit related. According to Car and Driver, which spoke recently with Acura product planning manager Gary Robinson, Honda's luxury division could be gearing up to shoehorn the engine into the recently updated ILX – which itself is based on the Civic. "Acura is always going to get the best engines Honda makes," said Robinson. "Obviously a 2.0-liter turbo is more of a must-have in the luxury world than it is in the mainstream" market, suggesting that an ILX Type S could be in the works with upwards of 300 horsepower. Getting it to fit, though, could prove a rather large challenge – and could mean the engine swap would have to wait until the next-generation model comes around. Considering that the ILX was just updated for 2016, C/D doesn't expect the full redesign to come until 2018 at the earliest. Here's hoping that if it takes that long, Honda will slot the engine into something else for US showrooms in the meantime. The revival of the Type S badge in and of itself, however, makes for an enticing prospect. The last time we saw it used was on the larger TL sedan, which upgraded the 3.2-liter V6 from the 225 horsepower to 260. Before that, the RSX jumped from 160 horsepower in the base model to 200 in the first Type S, 210 in the second and 217 in the ultimate Type R. As it stands, the new ILX (after dropping the hybrid and base 2.0 models, is powered exclusively by a 2.4-liter inline four with 201 hp on tap.

Fire up your 3D printer! Honda releases data for several of its past concepts [w/video]

Thu, 30 Jan 2014

Futurists have been treating 3D printing like it is the second coming of the Industrial Revolution for years. Everyone will have a 3D printer in their garage and be able make practically anything at home before you know it, right? Well... not quite.
While we can imagine a piece of trim breaking on our car and being able to download the file to print a new one at home, the reality is that 3D printing is still in its earliest stages as a consumer device. Still, Honda is capitalizing on the technology by allowing people to make models of its concept cars at home.
The Honda 3D Design Archive currently consists of five models based on the Fuya-Jo, FSR, Kiwami, Puyo, and NSX concepts. The printer files can be downloaded from the web and carry Creative Commons 4.0 licenses, which allow them to be freely shared. Honda promises that more files will be added to the archive soon.
