Hello and Thanks for checking out my car.


If you think this car looks familiar, I've listed this vehicle before, but at the time it had a custom vehicle wrap on it and I think that was limiting it's appeal.  Since the last time I've listed it (last Summer I think), I've removed the wrap and actually had the whole car exterior professionally repainted (at Impact Collision Center, Tulsa OK) at a cost of $4,500.  As much as I'd like to keep the car, in the back of my mind I know I need to let it go, I've had this car for about 12 years now and I'm ready for something different.  Anyway, on to the car...


Engine:

JDM B16a from a 2000 Civic Si
Matching manual transmission (car was automatic)
New Radiator at time of Motor Swap
Cleaner Factory Engine Bay Wiring (also removed P/S, Air, CC)
Duralast Battery
Skunk 2 Chip in ECU (ECU has been upgraded so different program chips can be installed) (also comes with a factory non-vtec ECU)
DC Headers - 4 to 1 configuration - Ceramic Coated
AEM Cold Air Intake
Custom Bent Exhaust, with midpipe to keep it quieter, but increase performance.
Skunk 2 Muffler
Aerospeed Short Throw Shifter

Suspension:

TEIN Super Street Coilovers
Factory Parts that connect to coilovers were color matched to TEIN Green
Rear Trailing Arms and Rear Calipers were replaced when suspension was installed
AEM Big Brake Kit (required upgrade to '97 VTEC delsol from knuckles first, these brakes are HUGE!)
EBC Green Stuff Brake Pads
16" Rota Grid Wheels with color matched lip
Nitto NeoGen Tires, size 205/45 R16 87V
Spoon Sports front Strut Bar

Interior:

Kept mostly stock appearing
Carbon Fiber Garnishes on vents/gauges/door switches
Seats are from a Mazdaspeed Protge and they recline/lift/lower/slide
Alpine CD Head Unit + Alpine 6 Disk Changer
Kicker Door Speakers/Clarion Rear Speakers
2 JL w6 10" Subs in custom Trunk enclosure (roof can still be placed in trunk, as well as full size spare!
Subs can be deactivated with a factory integrated switch, if you want to turn them off.
Windshield mounted amplified antenna
Clear door Glass/Windshield, Tinted rear Glass

Exterior:

Fiber Images Carbon Fiber Hood
Shaved door Handles with Autoloc remote to open
Shaved Gas fill and Antenna
Hidden Rear Trunk Release, no key hole
Paint Color is Nissan Sentra Orange (any shop can repair it!)
Factory Aux lights in bumper illuminate Orange
Second set of hidden driving lights are white (in lower bumper area)
JDM 1 Piece Headlights (real OEM Honda parts)
JDM Licence plate fillers
GT Factory "vertical" door hinges
Rolled Fender Lips (in case you want to lower the coilovers all the way down)
Stock Front and Rear Bumpers and Side Skirts

OK, here's the good and the bad of the car.

Overall, it really is a good car, I've driven it from coast to coast 1 time (Philly, PA to Laguna Beach, CA) and it made the trip flawlessly.  It's a good driving car, no shakes, vibrations, pulling, none of that.  It gets a lot of attention, especially if you open the doors vertically to get out (I just open them as far as they go "regular" and scoot out).  The stereo system is awesome, very clear and very little rattle from the trunk, there are various spots of dynamat back there.  Almost all the sound is sent forward when the trunk is closed.  The head unit can be finicky, it's about 12 years old, and sometimes you have to spin the knob 5 or 6 times to get the volume to start turning up, but once it goes it's fine, typically first thing in the morning.  Also, it can be tricky with CD's when you first put them in, but once they are in it works.  I've come to learn how to make them work, you may want to replace just the head unit if it gives you trouble, the rest of the sound system is good (or just rely on the 6 disk changer).  As I stated above, the car has recently been repainted.  It's a professional job, and looks great, but there is a small line of overspray in the drivers door jamb, not major.  I have a small bottle of touch up paint as well, in case you need it.  I mentioned it's 3rd gear chirp.  This is something new, but if I try shifting too fast out of 2nd to 3rd, it does make a small noise.  It has never popped out of gear or caused any issue, but I want to give full disclosure about the car.  I also have a few extras, an extra ECU (mentioned above), a full set of door glass (roll-up and wing windows that are tinted), and replacement window regulators.  I think I have the stock muffler upstairs as well.

I really encourage you to look at the car before bidding if possible.  I feel it's in really great shape, and will answer any questions you may have about it.  Car is located near Tulsa Oklahoma.  I will also help with delivery (cost can be determined on distance) as long as payment for vehicle and delivery charge is made prior to delivery.  There is a fair reserve set on the car, well within what the car is worth.

Thanks!

Some Hondas and an Acura can now take delivery of your Amazon packages

Tue, Jul 23 2019

Some new Honda and Acura owners will now be able to have their Amazon packages delivered directly to their cars starting today. The company just announced a slew of compatible vehicles from the 2018 and 2019 model years that will be compatible with the service. Several other manufacturers offer the same thing — itÂ’s mostly GM and Ford vehicles, but some Volvos will also work. YouÂ’ll need to be a HondaLink or AcuraLink subscriber for the service to function. That subscription costs $110/year, so itÂ’s not exactly cheap. The compatible Hondas include the 2018-19 Accord (including the Hybrid), 2018-19 Insight, 2018-19 Odyssey, 2019 Passport and 2019 Pilot. The caveat here is that you'll need to have the Touring or Elite trim of any of those vehicles. As of now, the Acura RDX in any trim is the only compatible Acura. This system works just the same as it does in other vehicles. YouÂ’ll need to be parked within two blocks of your delivery address. Then the driver will locate your car, scan your package and unlock your vehicle. After placing the package in your car, the delivery person “requests” for the vehicle to be locked, which sends a notification to your phone confirming that your car is now locked with the package inside. ThereÂ’s a certain level of trust thatÂ’s necessary to let a total stranger gain access to your car, but you donÂ’t have to use the service if you donÂ’t want to. That $110 for HondaLink gets you a bunch of other useful stuff like remote vehicle start, remote lock/unlock, stolen vehicle locator and speed alerts and geofencing for parents. All of that can be set from an app on your smartphone.

Driving the Honda Pilot TrailSport, Alfa Romeo Giulia and BMW 760i | Autoblog Podcast # 786

Fri, Jun 23 2023

In this episode of the Autoblog Podcast, Editor-in-Chief Greg Migliore is joined by Senior Editor James Riswick. They start the show by talking about the cars they've been driving. James took a road trip to Oregon in a Honda Pilot TrailSport, bringing along a Gazelle Ultimate 380+ e-bike. James also fell in love with an Alfa Romeo Giulia Lusso, while Greg enjoyed an executive experience in the new BMW 760i. Next, they discuss which car they'd buy in 1985 with a budget of $18,000, as well as their pick for a contemporary pickup truck for $50,000. They also interview Tyson Hugie, who purchased a 2006 Acura TSX from James and restored it. Finally, they open the mailbag for an update from a listener about a previous Spend My Money segment.
