You are
looking at my 1990 Honda CRX SI Hatchback, Red color, that I acquired in the
fall of 2007. It had 75K miles when I bought it and now has 172K. It has never
been in an accident. The engine runs strong and smooth. The car gets excellent
gas mileage around 36-38 mpg average. The car has VIN # JHMED9367LS010434. This car
will be sold as is and I will describe as accurately as possible all known
issues or concerns. The winning bidder is responsible for pickup, shipping, or
delivery of the car. This has
been a very reliable, fuel efficient, and zippy car to drive around in. It does
not have A/C but has a sun roof and plenty of ventilation. A/C was never initially
installed but could be installed by a competent mechanic. This car has been used
for my work commute car and has mostly highway miles. I am only selling because I’ve decided to
invest in a new car. There are no
engine or car issues other than what is described below. Car Maintenance
since I’ve owned: -
Oil
changes with synthetic oil and High efficiency oil filter every 6K miles. -
Engine
tune-up (spark plugs, wires, cap, rotor) every 30K miles. -
Manual
transmission oil changed every 40K miles. -
2
new front CEV front shaft axle shafts at 132K miles. -
Front
left ball joint replaced at 132K miles. -
Wheel
alignment checked and adjusted every 40K miles. -
New
clutch and timing belt replaced around 100K miles. -
Replace
the Fuel and air filter replaced every 30K miles. -
New
alternator / and belt, and battery replaced in the last year. -
Coolant
flush every 30K miles. -
New
exhaust pipe / muffler at 168K miles. -
New
catalytic converter and center pipes at 130K miles. -
New
Brake pads replaced in last year. -
New
Sumitomo tires installed at 120K Miles. -
New
starter at 164K miles. -
New
battery at 163K miles. -
New
alternator and belt at 134K miles. The car does have some flaws: -
There
is surface rust around the wheel wells and on top to the sun roof. I did apply
some JB Weld on top of the sun roof and around the wheel wells, and covered
with red paint to prevent the rust from spreading any further. You can see the
bubbly surface on the sunroof. Any reputable body shop could easily fix these
areas. -
The
oil pan drain hole threads are slighting stripped so I have had to apply JB
weld around the oil pan bolt to prevent a small leak following each oil change.
The JB weld can be easily chipped away for removal of the pan plug and oil
change. -
The
driver seat cloth is ripped on the upper left side. I remedied this by applying
black duct tape. Of course car seat covers would be better, or a seamstress
could repair. -
The
rear windshield washer sprayer does not work. -
On
occasion when shifting into 2nd gear to quickly, there is some
slight grinding heard. I had discovered this when I 1st purchased
the car. A reputed mechanic told me this would never get any worse, and to this
day it hasn’t. If you ease into 2nd gear gently, this will not
occur. -
There
is a slight dent in right rear panel (see pic). -
On
hot days when the car is sitting too long, the accelerator (gas pedal) needs to
be depressed for 30 seconds, and then the engine can be started. I think this
may be a sensor issue? Otherwise, the engine always starts smoothly. -
There
is a slight scratch in the front windshield driver side. (see pic) -
There
is a small cut / rip in the vinyl on the driver’s door side. (see pic) -
The
Hood opening latch inside the car has to be held in open position so that the
front hood can be popped open. I accomplish this by putting a wrench or 12”
piece of wood to hold the latch in open position. -
The CRX SI original owner’s manual
also comes with the car. The winning bidder is responsible for pickup or
shipping. |

Honda, Acura EVs will adopt Tesla's NACS charging port
Sat, Aug 19 2023CARMEL, Calif. — As more and more automakers pledge to install TeslaÂ’s North American Charging Standard (NACS) ports on their electric vehicles, Honda says that it, too, will hop on the bandwagon. Future EVs from Honda – as well as its luxury division, Acura – will have NACS charging setups, giving these cars access to TeslaÂ’s huge network of Supercharger stations. "It is quite important," American Honda Motor Co. President and CEO Noriya Kaihara said in an interview Friday. "We also have to push NACS, as well. It is clear." As for when this will happen, Honda is currently at the mercy of General Motors. The Japanese automakerÂ’s next two EVs – the Honda Prologue and Acura ZDX – use shared architecture with GM, leveraging The GeneralÂ’s excellent Ultium battery technology. The ZDX will launch first, and have the traditional CCS port that isnÂ’t compatible with TeslaÂ’s chargers, but it will switch to the NACS design in 2025 or 2026. "We clearly depend on GM," Shinji Aoyama, Executive Vice President of Honda Motor Co., said during Friday's interview. "Once they [switch to NACS], this will follow for ZDX, as well." Looking to the future, Honda is part of a joint venture with seven other global automakers that will see the installation of more than 30,000 EV fast-charging stations across the United States and Canada. The chargers are still in development, but Honda says the companies are all aligned on the core values that are needed to make this charging network successful. "The software needs to be really reliable and really open infrastructure so it communicates with every OEM's software," Jay Joseph, American Honda's Vice President of Sustainability and Business Development, said in Friday's interview. "The hardware needs to be capable of the highest levels of charging. It needs to be secure, it needs to be reliable, it needs to be accessible." Joseph said the current public charging companies know and understand the shortcomings with their systems, and that TeslaÂ’s Superchargers set an example of how to do chargers right. "If you look at what's so great about the Tesla Supercharger network, it's the maintenance," Joseph said. "They stay on top of it, they've got someone onsite monitoring the equipment, they're monitoring it electronically and remotely, and they fix it – fast. That's probably the most important thing." All the more reason for Honda – and other automakers – to switch to the NACS charging setup as quickly as possible.
Honda sending two NSX racers and new EV concept to Pikes Peak
Fri, Mar 11 2016Honda is always good for a few interesting Pikes Peak entries. In 2015, Acura supplied a 2017 NSX prototype for pace-car duty. This time around, two NSXes will compete alongside a reconfigured version of the company's four-motor electric racecar. Those aren't the 2016 entries above. The one on the right is last year's pace car and the one on the left is a first-gen NSX that did the hillclimb the past few years. The 2016 cars haven't been unveiled yet, but we know that one will be in the Time Attack 2 Production class, which is mostly stock with the addition of items like a roll cage, and the other will be in Time Attack 1. TA 1 allows modifications to the powertrain, additional aero aids, suspension changes, and other tweaks, so expect to see a lot more power and a big wing on the back. The cars will be driven by James and Nick Robinson, brothers who work for Honda R&D in Ohio. Honda will use a version of the four-motor electric powertrain from its 2015 CR-Z Exhibition class entry in a new EV. (We got to drive a non-race tune of this setup in Japan last year.) The 2016 version, which will wear a different body, moves to the Electric - Electric Modified class of last year's frontrunners. We're told this car is aiming for an overall win at the 2016 race; the CR-Z took 11th place overall in 2015. The EV will again be driven by Tetsuya Yamano, a Japanese Super GT driver. Oh, and there will of course be a factory entry or two from Honda's Powersports division. Honda engineer Keith Steidl will ride a 2015 TRX1000 ATV in the Pikes Peak Challenge - Exhibition Powersport class. In the past, Honda has fielded plenty of other neat stuff in the Race to the Clouds. In 2012, it ran an NSX fitted with a twin-turbo V6 from an LMP2 car, and the 2013 race saw the very practical 532-horsepower turbocharged Odyssey minivan join the Exhibition class. The 2016 race marks the Pikes Peak hillclimb's 100th anniversary (but not the 101st running since competition took some breaks back in wartime). We're looking forward to June already.

100th Pikes Peak Hill Climb brings bad weather, heartbreak
Tue, Jun 28 2022Hill climb? Please. While Europeans spent the weekend driving up a nobleman's driveway at the Goodwood Festival of Speed, we in 'Murica got down and dirty with the 100th running up Pikes Peak. In a reversal of stereotypes, it is we who have understated. The "hill" climb ascends one of the tallest peaks in the Rockies, to a finish line that's 14,115 feet above sea level. To get there, it takes 156 turns over 12.42 miles, some of which just look like paved sky, because they have have no guardrails between the asphalt's edge and sheer dropoffs. In reality, the Pikes Peak International Hill Climb is even older than 100 years. The first event took place in 1916, but in 1917-19 and 1942-45, the so-called Race to the Clouds was put on hiatus due to a couple of world wars. This year's event was marked by damp weather that dashed the hopes of several teams' efforts to break new records. David Donner's Porsche 911 Turbo S Lightweight Package, for example, was widely expected to reclaim the production car record this year. Donner is a three-time PPIHC champ, and set the 2014 production car record in a 991-generation Turbo S. A Bentley Continental GT piloted by Rhys Millen beat it in 2019, so Porsche was keen on taking it back. Donner broke the production qualifying time earlier in the week, but even the seasoned pro couldn't put his skills to tarmac due to moisture-laden surfaces and low-visibility from thick fog on race day. The result was 10:34.053, over 15 seconds slower than Millen's 10:18.488, still good enough to land the class's top spot and second overall. Acura arrived in Colorado to conduct its much-touted motorsports debut of the 2023 Integra. While the entry-level sports sedan, equipped with a stock engine but modified with a slew of HPD goodies, came in ninth in the production class, Acura didn't go home emptyhanded. A 2022 NSX Type S driven by Nick Robinson took the category's third spot. Taking second was Daijiro Yoshihara with a Tesla Model S. In recent years, electric cars have become a force to be reckoned with, especially since they are immune to high altitudes that negatively impact internal combustion cars. Poor conditions sent newcomer Levi Shirley's Ultra 4 buggy off course. Fortunately, it was near the lower sections, where there's still a significant amount of runoff past the pavement's end. Amazingly, Shirley landed wheels down in the video above, and simply continued driving through the pea soup haze.
