We have long dreaded this day.  Eight and a half years ago, we flew to Iowa to pick up this car after buying it on EBay.  We have driven it over 90,000 miles. It has been superb, and has saved us a fortune in gasoline costs.  Yes, we really do get 55 mpg or better on the highway.  Obviously, driving styles will bring different results, but on the interstate we routinely get 56 mpg, with a personal best-tank of 59.75 mpg!  In daily local commuting, we normally get 42 unless I am trying, in which case we get about 46 mpg.  Our worst tank ever, in the dead of winter, was 38 mpg.

 

So, let’s start with the bad stuff – it is rusting out.  This is the only reason we are selling.  It still runs great and is very dependable, but the rust is progressing.  I found that there is rust around two of the bolts that mount the rear axle.  So, for that reason, I AM ADVERTISING THIS AS A PARTS CAR.  We drove it to work today, and it still goes down the road fine, but that will be at your risk.  I believe that you could readily drive it home to anywhere, but that is your decision, and my opinion should not be considered.  I am also not liable for your decisions.

 

The driver’s seat has some tears (in typical Civic fashion), and the carpet is worn out on the driver’s side.  The dome light does not work reliably, and never has.

 

In 2010, a highway department plow-truck backed into the back of the car, breaking the back window and lightly damaging the window frame.  This was repaired, and new rear fenders were welded in, which explains the difference in the paint color at the back.  This did not affect the drivability of the car.

 

How about some good stuff?  Well, it runs great and gets great gas mileage.  The VX model has a special engine with unique camshaft lobes that allow for very frugal fuel consumption below 2500 rpm.  Since 2000 rpm in 5th gear is 65 mph, it is easy to save fuel.

 

The engine has over 248,000 miles, but still doesn’t need oil added between oil changes.  The 5-speed transmission growls a bit at idle, but shifts smoothly, and had a new clutch last year.  The distributor was replaced a few years ago, and the starter was new in 2013.

 

All the glass is intact, although the windshield is somewhat pitted.  There are lots of usable parts – the hood, both doors, and front fenders appear to be pretty much rust-free.  The car has the original alloy wheels, and all the center medallions are intact.

 

Inside, the dash console all works.  There are aftermarket cruise control and stereo.  The stereo display does not light up, but it works fine otherwise, and has an aux input jack.  The air conditioning works great. 

 

The tires are good – two of them were new last year.  You will also receive the owner’s manual, and a CD version of the shop manual.  The title is clear, and you will receive a bill of sale for the actual amount of the sale.  I don’t play games.

 

We have loved this car and have taken good care of it.  We are non-smokers, and the interior is pretty clean.  I have attempted to describe the car thoroughly, and to provide clear pictures that represent the condition.  Your bid is a legally binding contract, so I STRONGLY recommend that you or a friend look this car over before bidding.  Bid intending to buy.

 

I expect to receive a deposit of $300 within 72 hours of the auction end, with the balance paid within 10 days.  The deposit may be via PayPal, but any amount over $300 should be in cash.  Sorry, no personal checks or money orders.

Acura NSX GT3 to make public debut this week at Mid-Ohio

Wed, Jul 27 2016

The new Acura NSX had a very long and very public gestation period. The car went through a number of redesigns and revisions, all while enthusiasts watched and waited. With the production version just now ramping up for customer deliveries, Acura revealed that it was working on a race car for FIA GT3 homologation. While the car was shown in New York, no one outside of Honda has seen it testing on track. This week, the NSX GT3 will make its public testing debut at Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course ahead of the Pirelli World Challenge and IndyCar races. View 13 Photos While the car will be on track during testing and practice sessions, it won't actually be competing with the rest of the field. The car is still in the testing phase and won't be fully FIA approved until at least September. Acura is confident that the car will make its racing debut in 2017. The company also made it clear that this is not the final version of the car and that things like aero and engine tuning are still being worked out. Until now, the NSX GT3 has only tested at private events in Europe, Japan and the US. This week, the NSX GT3 will be piloted by Dutch racing driver Peter Kox. Kox drives for RealTime Racing, a team that currently campaigns an Acura TLX GT. This week's car will be the primary tester, though if something goes sideways there are multiple backup cars. The NSX GT3 differs in a number of ways from the road car, most notably its lack of hybrid all-wheel drive system. The NSX GT3 uses the same twin-turbocharged V6 as the road car, but sends all the power through the rear wheels. It also uses the same space frame as the road car. While the road going version receives final assembly in Honda's Ohio factory, final touches to the GT3 car are done elsewhere. Although the car will only be testing on Thursday and Friday, it will be on display all weekend in the paddock.

2024 Honda Prologue name announced, and an Acura EV follows

Mon, Jun 28 2021

Honda is revealing a couple of little nuggets of information about its future EVs today, shedding more light on the partnership between it and GM on electric vehicle technology. The big news is that Honda’s first new EV made in this partnership will be called Prologue, and it will be an SUV produced for the 2024 model year. HondaÂ’s “Prologue” logo is revealed with this news, and a few additional details about the car itself are, too. On the obvious front, Honda says the Prologue will ride on GMÂ’s global EV platform and use GMÂ’s Ultium battery technology. The company is also promising “versatility and driving range on par with our current lineup of rugged SUVs.” “Our first volume Honda BEV will begin our transition to electrification, and the name Honda Prologue signals the role it will play in leading to our zero-emission future,” says Dave Gardner, executive VP of American Honda. “The Prologue will provide our customers with a battery-electric SUV with the excellent functionality and packaging theyÂ’ve come to expect from Honda.” ItÂ’s not just Honda that will join in on the fun, though. An electric Acura SUV was also announced today. Just like the Honda, it will use GMÂ’s electric vehicle platform. A model year for the Acura wasn't promised, but Honda claimed it would be revealed “in the 2024 calendar year.” Any details beyond what you see here are being kept under wraps by Honda. WeÂ’re told to expect more “specific details” to be released over the coming months. Basically, expect a slow drip of information about the Prologue leading up to a full reveal where Honda finally shares all there is to know about the SUV. Looking even further into the future, Honda promises EVs based on an in-house-developed EV platform sometime in the second half of this decade. For now, itÂ’s calling this future platform “e:Architecture.” Ultimately, Honda promises that 100% of its auto sales in North America will be fully electric by 2040. The 2024 Prologue is the brandÂ’s first step toward this ambitious goal. Related video:
