2003 Honda Civic Hybrid W/ New Hybrid Battery--needs Work on 2040-cars
Brookfield, Connecticut, United States
2003 Honda Civic Hybrid
I hit a patch of ice and spun into a guardrail a week ago. The front end was damaged and the 2 front airbags deployed. The frame in the front needs to be straightened somewhat, but the front wheels and the suspension seem unaffected. The engine was not hit. The engine starts and runs fine with no check engine light. I have been running the engine every day to keep the engine and IMA battery healthy. It appears that with a little work on the frame in front the car could be fine. I just don't have time to work on this now. The car has a clean title and is ready for immediate purchase. (I didn't have collision insurance on this car so the insurance company never looked at it, and I didn't cancel the CT registration after the accident because I planned to fix it.) This car has a new IMA (hybrid) battery that was installed just over a year ago in the fall of 2012. The battery is still under warranty for almost 2 more years and the warranty is transferrable. Please see bumblebeebatteries.com for more info. I will also include a wiring harness to connect this battery to the Genesis One grid charger. The harness hasn't been installed yet but it's easy to do. The IMA battery and charging harness together cost about 2300. Other features of the car: • JVC HD radio and CD player • 5 speed manual transmission • new seat covers and floor mats • clean interior, no rips or stains • good tires with lots of tread left • new 12 volt battery installed just a month ago • always very well maintained with regular oil changes • there are video monitors and a CD / DVD player in the 2 headrests for entertainment in the back seat • antenna for sirius satellite radio on the roof • includes the official (green) Honda repair manual for this car which costs $100 • the car gets great gas mileage--50 mpg on the highway if you drive carefully Parts that will need to be replaced to drive the car: • front windshield (broken by the airbag) • the 2 front airbags • radiator and oil cooler • front bumper and grill • A/C and water pump belt • splash shields under the engine • headlights $2600 or best offer. I would like to move this quickly. |

Honda invests $215M in Ohio Earth Dreams production
Fri, 09 Aug 2013Honda 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 Jazz Prototype is brand's latest production-ready 'concept'
Thu, 02 Oct 2014Another auto show, another Honda "prototype." The brand has made something of a habit of showing very thinly veiled production models at the world's auto shows, ranging from the Accord, to the Civic and Civic Type-R, as well as the CR-V. And yes, this is far from the first time we've railed against this particular trend (it's not even the first time at this auto show). Now, it's time to preview the production-ready Jazz, known to American consumers as the recently released Fit.
As we covered in our original post on the Jazz Prototype, this car is pretty much a twin to the Fit, aside from its 1.3-liter engine. Sitting in place of the US-market 1.5-liter four-cylinder, the Earth Dreams 1.3 is probably a bit more suited to the tighter urban environments of the European Union. While the engine might be different, the six-speed manual and continuously variable transmission will be plenty familiar to US consumers.
We have a full live gallery of the new Jazz Prototype at the top of the page. Take a look at that, and then scroll down for Honda's press release and official images.
