2000 Citrus Honda Insight/ 88k Orig Miles/ Gorgeous/ Garage Kept/ Clean Carfax ! on 2040-cars
Gasport, New York, United States
If you want the lowest original mile, true survivor, citrus-colored 5-speed insight available in the country, read on! I have owned many, many First Gen Honda Insights over the last 6 years or so. I am not a dealer. I am an obsessed insight fanatic (private owner.) The citrus colored insights were only made in the first model year (2000.) The number produced was very low (estimates of 300 total.) A true collector car. The car is from Florida, and has only 88k original miles on it. The body is not flawless, but it is nice, as seen in my pictures! Every body panel has the correct VIN tag on it (both front fenders, hood, both doors, both quarter panels, rear hatch, front and back bumper covers.) So no panels have ever been replaced. The car has never been in any kind of major accident, or this would be appearent with replacement panels lacking the correct vin numbers. This is further evidenced by it's clean carfax report. The usual trim items that get sun baked are not (rear wing, steering wheel, headlights, exterior moldings, emblems, decals, etc, etc.) Interior-wise, again, the car is real nice. The seats are great and not worn through (in fact they show very little wear at all,) the steering wheel, dash, headliner, door panels, trunk carpeting, etc have no stains at all, and are all perfect. I totally steam cleaned the car's interior, as I do all my insights, but it hardly needed it.) All the rubber is perfect, (around the doors, rear hatch, hood, etc. It has the correct size 165/65/14 tires (Like brand new Michelin Green X, low rolling resistance tires, with 100% tread.) I just had these mounted and spun balanced, so you'll be good to go for the next 80k miles. The car runs, drives, and shifts very well. It does not leak or burn any fluids at all, and is a super smooth rider. I also put brand new brake rotors and ceramic pads on the car, so the brakes are brand new too. You shouldn't have to touch them for another 80-100k miles. I've wired the car for my digital grid charger (again, as I do all my insights,) and cycle the pack regularly (considering the car is stored in my heated garage and not being driven.) For those not in the know, grid charging the pack peaks and equalizes the cells within the pack. This is extremely good for the battery, and prolongs it's life and health greatly. To the buyer, I will offer a brand new grid charger for half the price I normally sell them for (my cost to build, basically.) To read more about my grid chargers, see my ebay item # 301002355166. The car has all the manuals, key and remote, too. Transmission-wise, it shifts perfectly with no synchro grind or bearing noise issues whatsoever. The clutch and slave cylinder are pefect too. I also just did the full oil and filter change with the correct Mobil1 0w-20 oil, and the transmission fluid change, as well. Accessory-wise, everything works exactly as it should; heater, blower fan, power windows and switches, power locks and switches, turn signals, every bulb inside and out, all the dash including the trip meter, horn, turn signals, stock Honda am/fm/cassette stereo, (rare 4 speaker option, with great sound,) rear trunk release actuator, rear trunk lock, hatch struts, wipers, trip meter, squirters, etc, etc. This car is THE nicest citrus you'll find for sale in the country. All underbody panels are in place and nice, too. All jack equipment and spare tire are in place and nice. I have the clean and clear transferrable title, with no liens, in my name. I have done a ton of work to this car to get it exactly where it should be, and as you see it now. I do all my own work (over 30 years of automotive schooling and experience,) and do not scrimp, always using correct factory Honda parts, right down to the last correct screw. NO surprises with this car! So, if you want the best citrus for your money, look no further. Can you buy an insight cheaper? Yup. Maybe you can even find a high mile citrus. But what you save in initial costs, you'll put back into the car fixing the stuff it needs, both mechanically and cosmetically! This is where the old saying, "You get what you pay for" holds quite true! Just look at the pics....Any questions; call me directly at 716-946-6070. Thanks for your time and consideration! Respectfully, Chris in Gasport, N.Y. (14067) PS: I also have 1 other first gen 2000 silver 5-speed Insight I'll be selling as well, if this one does not suit your exact wants. It is a true, documented 49k mile car from Massechusetts. Feel free to call! I build and offer other extremely useful mods for these 2000-06 first gen Honda Insights cars, as well. Some of which include: Clutch Interrupt Circuit (see ebay item # 290990607482.) Brake Regen Circuit (see ebay item # 291048200804.) Brand New OEM Honda Insight Citrus & Grey Seat Covers (see ebay item # 300932249369.) Stainless Steel Dead Pedal / Footrest) (see ebay item # 291039568254.) Honda Insight Spun Aluminum Moon Disc Set (see ebay item # 300951306290.) And soon to come; another round of Throttle Smoothing Circuits! Thanks again! Chris

Honda recalls 2016 Civic 2.0-liter engine for piston issue
Wed, Feb 24 2016The Basics: Honda will recall 42,129 examples of the 2016 Honda Civic sedan with the 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine in the US. These models have build dates between September 22, 2015, and February 3, 2016. The issue does not affect the Civic Coupe. The Problem: The pistons might not have a wrist pin circlip or the part's installation could be incorrect. This problem could cause the engine to seize, leading to engine damage and an increased risk of fire or a crash. Injuries/Deaths: There are no deaths, but there was an unconfirmed report of a minor injury that didn't require medical attention, according to Honda. There was also a report of one engine fire, which was separate from the minor injury. The Fix: Dealers will inspect the engines and replace any damaged parts as necessary. If You Own One: Honda won't have the parts ready until this summer. Owners will receive initial notification about the recall in March, and they'll get a second letter when the components are ready. More Information: Honda already issued a stop sale on the 2016 Civic Sedan equipped with the 2.0-liter engine due to this problem. RECALL Subject : Piston Wrist Pin Circlips may not be Secured Report Receipt Date: FEB 09, 2016 NHTSA Campaign Number: 16V074000 Component(s): ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING Potential Number of Units Affected: 42,129 All Products Associated with this Recall close Vehicle Make Model Model Year(s) HONDA CIVIC 2016 Details Manufacturer: Honda (American Honda Motor Co.) SUMMARY: Honda (American Honda Motor Co.) is recalling certain model year 2016 Civic vehicles manufactured September 22, 2015, to February 3, 2016 and equipped with 2.0L engines. The affected vehicles have engines with piston assemblies that may have been manufactured without a piston wrist pin circlip or with an incorrectly installed piston wrist pin circlip. CONSEQUENCE: If a circlip is missing or incorrectly installed, the piston wrist pin may not be secure and may drift and damage the engine cylinder causing the engine to seize, and increasing the risk of a crash or a fire. REMEDY: Honda will notify owners, and dealers will inspect and replace the piston assemblies, as necessary, free of charge. Parts are expected to be available in the Summer of 2016. Owners will be mailed an interim notification beginning March 15, 2016, and will be mailed a second notice when parts are available. Owners may contact Honda customer service at 1-800-999-1009. Honda's number for this recall is JX9.
Petition to bring Honda Civic Type R to US picking up steam
Mon, 10 Mar 2014Never mind what the executives say - we've had a sneaking suspicion all along that the upcoming Honda Civic Type R won't be coming to North America. And with good reason: both the prototype we drove in Japan and the concept unveiled at the Geneva Motor Show last week were based on the European-spec Civic hatchback - not to mention that some of the best hot hatches remain out of our reach.
Well it turns out we're not the only ones with that concern. There are legions of Honda hot hatch enthusiasts right here in the good old U S of A who want to see the new Civic Type R ripping up the Great American Road. And many of them are taking to the cyberclouds demanding that Honda bring it Stateside, post haste.
As of the time of writing, this online petition has gotten over 6,000 digital signatures, needing less than 1,500 more to get to the author's target of 7,500 votes. Of course, if and when the petition reaches its target, that still won't mean that Honda will bring it over, but it could mean that extra bit of encouragement the Japanese automaker's executives would need to tip the scales in our favor.
Check out the orange McLaren-Honda racecar that might actually win a race
Wed, May 3 2017Following the announcement that Fernando Alonso, two-time F1 world champion, would drive a McLaren-Honda IndyCar in this year's Indianapolis 500, we now get to see the car. Naturally, being a McLaren, it's painted in the company's official orange hue. It's actually even more orange than the company's Formula 1 cars, which are two-tone: orange and black. The reveal of the car's livery comes in conjunction with Alonso's first testing day at the Indianapolis Speedway, which you can watch live, here. Alonso has never participated in the Indy 500 before, nor has he been behind the wheel of Indy cars. That doesn't mean he can't win, though. Fellow Formula 1 racer Alexander Rossi took home the win last year, and that was his first time at the 500. Rossi also won in an Andretti-backed, Honda-powered car, just as Alonso will this year. So it isn't unreasonable to think Alonso could win, or at least place well. Certainly his odds are better than driving one of the beleaguered McLaren-Honda F1 cars at Monaco that same weekend.
