1991 Honda CRX Si with 227,285 miles (does not run- engine jumps timing).  2nd owner of car- purchased in NH.  Exterior is Tahitian Green Pearl (1991 only color).  Has extremely rare seats from JDM ZC model- diagonal pastel stripes instead of USDM horizontal red stripes.  Seats are in almost new condition, no rips, burns, tears- side bolsters and seat fabric are in perfect condition.  Originally paid over $600 for them (came from Okinawa) and the seat mounting rails were converted to fit the 89-91 US cars (all cars outside North America used the 1988 US design seat rails for all four model years).  Engine has low-restriction cone filter intake and stainless 4-2-1 header with 60mm B-pipe.  Catalytic converter is 2 years old.  New alternator and radiator, distributor replaced 3 years ago.  Aftermarket cruise control (SCS Frigette) installed and will include copy of original instruction manual.  15” Ultra alloy wheels and Kumho all-season 205/50R15 tires (60+% tread).  Honda CRV CD/AM/FM radio installed (with security code).  Car has A/C but Freon leaked-out, needs leak found & recharged (still R-12). 5 speed manual transmission still shifts smoothly.

Note- seller reserves right to cancel auction before close, as vehicle is also listed for private sale locally.

Car overheated while wife was driving, had cylinder head completely rebuilt with new valve seals and deck resurfaced (new metal headgasket, not composite).  Have spent over $2000 attempting to get running, local Honda dealer could not get the engine to stay in time.
Body needs major work because of typical rust - both rear quarter panels need replacing and car definitely needs a fresh coat of paint.
If you count just the value of the easily removable parts (seats- a design never sold in the USA, new radiator, freshly refurbished head, new alternator, and exhaust system, hard to find Honda center aimrest/storage bin- those items alone are worth at least $1200, if not more.  And the rear privacy panel for the trunk area is in virtually new condition as well- try and find a good one of those!
Shipping- buyer will have to have the car towed, as the engine cranks, fires, but will not run long enough to move the car (sitting on a paved pad in my back yard).
Also have a full set of OEM Honda 13” Gold Crosslace alloy wheels with 175/70-13 all-season tires (80+% thread) plus one extra alloy rim (additional cost to purchase - see my other ebay auctions).  Wheels will fit on the Si (are from my older DX).  This is my last CRX (#5 over 28 years of ownership) and I have a lot of loose CRX components, including a stainless dual-tip muffler that needs a new flange welded-on, otherwise is perfect.  Inquire about a package deal so I can clean house!

US Congress lets $8,000 hydrogen vehicle tax credit expire

Mon, Dec 22 2014

When Toyota introduced the 2016 Mirai last month in preparation for a launch late next year, it said that the hydrogen car will have a $57,500 MSRP and that there will be a federal tax credit available worth up to $8,000. The problem, as we noted at the time, is that that federal credit was set to expire at the end of 2014. The technical language of the current rule says that someone who buys a fuel cell vehicle, "may claim a credit for the certified amount for a fuel cell vehicle if it is placed in service by the taxpayer after Dec. 31, 2005, and is purchased on or before Dec. 31, 2014." With the 113th Congress now finished up for the year and legislators headed home for the holidays, we know one thing for certain: the federal tax credit for hydrogen vehicles was not updated and will end as we're all singing Auld Lang Syne next week. All of this isn't to say that Mirai buyers won't be able to take $8,000 off the price of the car 12 months from now. For proof of that, we only need to look at other alternative fuel tax incentives and realize that this Congress simply isn't moving fast enough to deal with things that are expiring right now. One of the last things that the 113th Congress did in December was to take up the tax credits that expired at the end of 2013 and renew some of them. Jay Friedland, Plug In America's senior policy advisor, told AutoblogGreen that PIA and other likeminded organizations worked with Congress to extended the electronic vehicle charging station (technically: EVSE) tax credit that was part of the Alternative Refueling Tax Credit in IRS Section 30(C) through the end of 2014. "Individuals can deduct 30 percent of the cost of purchasing and installing an EVSE up to $1,000; businesses, 30 percent up to $30,000," he said. "This tax credit is applied to any system placed into service by 12/31/14 and is retroactive to the beginning of the year. So go out and buy your favorite EV driver an EVSE for the holidays," he said. An electric motorcycle credit was killed at the last minute as Congress was getting ready to leave, but H.R. 5771 did extend the Alternative Fuels Excise Tax Credits for liquefied hydrogen and other alternative fuels. These sorts of tax credit battles happen all year long. In July, Blumenthal introduced the Fuel Cell and Hydrogen Infrastructure Act of 2014, which never got out of the Finance Committee. Back to the hydrogen vehicle situation.

Ward's Automotive Ten Best Engines of 2014 dominated by diesels, turbos

Thu, 12 Dec 2013

With the Car and Driver Ten Best decided, the North American Car and Truck of the Year finalists announced and Cadillac, Ram and Subaru chalking up wins with Motor Trend, it's fair to say that the automotive awards season is in full swing. The next set of trophies to be handed out will be from Ward's Automotive, which has announced the winners of its 2014 10 Best Engines.
The latest contest was marked by the widespread emergence of diesel power and the continued success of turbocharged engines. There was even an electric motor on this year's list. In fact, only three of the ten winners were naturally aspirated and only two winners returned from last year.
"We weren't looking to throw the bums out, as they might say about an election. We were just really impressed with the flood of new powertrains," said Ward's Automotive Editor-in-Chief Drew Winter. Those new powertrains include the 83-kilowatt electric motor from the Fiat 500e, the 1.0-liter, EcoBoost three-cylinder from the Ford Fiesta and the 2.0-liter turbodiesel from the Chevrolet Cruze.

Honda marks 20 million vehicles made in the USA

Thu, 20 Mar 2014

Japanese automakers manufacturing in the United States is nothing new. But it was in November of 1982 when the first Honda Accord rolled off the assembly line in Marysville, OH. It was the first Japanese vehicle assembled in the US, and in the nearly 32 years since, Honda has made 10 million Accords here for a total of 20 million cars manufactured in America - enough to span from New York to San Francisco twenty times. It's that double landmark which Honda is now celebrating.
Honda has come a long way in those three decades, keeping that original plant in Marysville on line while expanding to three more - in East Liberty, OH; Lincoln, AL; and Greensburg, IN - with a fifth plant (the Performance Manufacturing Center) opening on the same site in Marysville to build the Acura NSX next year. It also builds engines in Lincoln and in Anna, OH, and automatic transmissions at Russells Point, OH, and Tallapoosa, GA.
Between those seven sites, Honda produces 11 different models, including the Accord, Civic, Crosstour, CR-V, Pilot, Odyssey and Ridgeline as well as the Acura ILX, TL, RDX and MDX. Production keeps on ramping up as Honda produced a record 1.3 million vehicles in the US last year, 95 percent of which are sold in the US.
