Condition: Extremely clean inside and out. Besides surface rust on some suspension components etc it has a rust free body and even the brake lines running to the rear are still shiny etc.
The car had been lightly backed into and creased the RF fender. It was later scraped on the LF fender and front bumper fascia (also took off a 1/2" chip of paint on the drivers mirror that was touched up). All replacements were with OEM Honda parts and professionally painted with premium paint. The front bumper was very recently replaced with an OEM Honda part and professionally painted with premium paints and clear coats. All other body panels are original paint etc. A few very small dings due to storage damage can be found. See pictures of the small gouges on the rear bumper (drivers side)...they were touched up but are noticeable up close. The carbon fiber hood was painted to match and has hood pins in place for safety (a few very minor cracks were created when installing the hood pins but have not changed in 15 years). The window tinting was just professionally removed. Meticulously maintained! Mobil 1 was used exclusively with either Honda or Mobil 1 oil filters only. Oil level has never dropped between changes. New timing belt, water pump, drive belts installed. Fresh valve adjustment and the K&N air filter has just been cleaned, dried, oiled and re-installed. Motul RBF (Racing Brake Fluid) has been changed regularly. Cam seal had a slight leak and was just repaired. CV boots were replaced 10,000 miles ago. Clutch was replaced 15,000 miles ago. A/C is nice and cold. The factory windshield was replaced 8,000 miles ago. There was one very small rock chip in the middle of the passenger side since but it has been professionally repaired so it will not spread. Suspension is firm but not at all bouncy. Note:The Michelin Pilot Exalto PE2 ultra high performance summer tires are showing their age with some cracking(due to being stored so much) and have 1/8" tread life remaining (see pictures).

History: I purchased the vehicle new in 1996 from Bellevue Honda in Bellevue (Omaha), Nebraska. The car was always garaged in the snow belt and rarely driven in winter. I kept the underside washed all the time when/if it was exposed to snow. I then lived in Phoenix, AZ for 5 years (no rust obviously) and finally here in SW Ohio but only drove it a few times in snow here as well. The car was pictured in Sport Compact Car magazine as it was the cover vehicle for the Honda Hybrid web page for a few months in 1998. It has had several upgrades since then as you can tell from the lists above. The engine had just over 33,000 kilometers on it when installed and the car had 40,000 miles. I have never drag raced the car. I did run the car on Laguna Seca with street legal tires and Honda OEM pads. Fast lap was 1 minute 52 seconds and that was prior to limited slip being installed. I also had the pleasure of driving it to and in performance driving schools at Gingerman Raceway, Phoenix International (road course), Buttonwillow, Willow Springs, Second Creek Raceway (no longer exists in Colorado), Brainerd International and the Las Vegas Speedway (road course). On street tires I would average 38MPG at 75MPH. Car comes with it's 2 original keys and an Alpine remote. Unfortunately I have not been be really using this car for the purpose it was built for quite a few years. As you can see, no cheap parts were ever put on this car. I was even married in it! |

A look inside Honda’s “Safety For Everyone” research and development operation
Sat, Aug 24 2019RAYMOND, Ohio—As part of its long-running “Safety for Everyone” campaign, Honda has established the audacious goal of what it calls a “zero-collision society.” But rather than making big claims about developing a fully-autonomous vehicle, which Honda hasnÂ’t done, the company is trying to chip away at the more than 37,000 vehicle-related fatalities that occurred in the U.S. in 2017 with a multi-pronged approach. Here in central Ohio, engineers are working with state-of-the-art facilities and equipment to boost active safety systems like its HondaSensing suite of safety technology with old fashioned passive systems like structural steel frames or new airbag designs that protect passengers in a crash. Honda provided members of the press with a rare tour inside its Honda R&D Americas headquarters this week. Honda officials say that increasingly, safety — and specifically, third-party ratings from the likes of the National Highway Safety Traffic Administration and the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety — figure into the top three factors consumers weigh when purchasing a vehicle. Honda and Acura have 10, 2019 models that have earned IIHSÂ’s Top Safety Pick or Top Safety Pick+ ratings, and all 15, 2019 model-year Honda and Acura vehicles that have undergone NHTSA crash testing have earned a 5-star overall rating. And Honda prides itself on its growing list of safety firsts, including the first upward-deploying front passenger airbag, in 1990 in the Acura Legend; first omni-directional crash-test facility, in 2000; and the first autonomous braking system, in the 2006 Acura RL. It hopes its new three-chamber airbag goes industry-wide and joins that list. “ItÂ’s part of our companyÂ’s culture,” said Art St. Cyr, business head unit and vice president of auto operations for American Honda Motor Co. “We have a philosophy at Honda that we want to be a company that society wants to exist. That means we have to protect our customers. ThatÂ’s part of the whole mantra of doing this.” Opened in 1984, the 1.6 million square-foot Honda R&D Americas facility, located in the countryside about 45 miles northwest of Columbus, employs around 1,600 people and is HondaÂ’s largest research-and-development facility outside of Japan. Its Advanced Safety Research facility opened in 2003.
Automakers score 8 out of top 20 most-watched ads on YouTube [w/videos]
Fri, 14 Dec 2012Who would have ever thought there'd be a day where people are able to skip television commercials only to go to websites to watch them later? Such is the joy of a DVR and YouTube. AdWeek tabulated the 20 most-watched ads on YouTube, and found that nine were car-related including eight coming from automakers.
Volkswagen continued its Star Wars theme with two ads in the top 20, including the highest-ranking car commercial The Bark Side spot at number three with almost 18 million views, which doesn't even have a single car in it. Some of our favorites are from Chrysler with Clint Eastwood in It's Halftime in America and House Arrest with Charlie Sheen for the Fiat 500 Abarth. Chevrolet, Honda, Audi and Toyota were the other automakers in the top 20, but we'd be remiss if we didn't at least mention one of the coolest ads on the list, the Hot Wheels corkscrew jump.
Of all the car videos, only the Fiat ad wasn't played during a Super Bowl. Check out all eight videos - in order - after the jump. Nike took the top spot with its My Time is Now ad that has been seen online more than 20 million times with Pepsi's Uncle Drew posted up in the runner-up; some of the other videos include four Old Spice commercials and an ad in which Snoop Dogg is pedaling Hot Pockets.
