Vista, California, United States

Meticulously maintained real US model Type-R, #269 of only 1027 produced this year, and of approx. 1400 total ever made in the classic Championship White.  Clean title, not a salvage!  Never crashed, never broken into.

What can I say, it's just time.  Though I'm the third owner, I've owned this car for over 11 years now, and I need to move on.  As you can see from the pictures, it's been in active competition in SCCA Solo racing (aka autocross), where it has a long winning history, with three National Tour wins, a Divisional series win, and more.  The car comes with Simpson five-point harnesses for the driver and front passenger (they clip out and fold beneath the seats so you don't have to use them on the street), a Valentine One radar locator with custom hard mount, hard-wired power, and remote display mounted under speedo, a custom fit Block-It Evolution car cover (essential for SECURITY, not just paint protection), plus factory service manual and many spare parts.  Extra rims and tires, for both competition and street, are available as well (though not included in the bid price).

Deep maintenance history with all receipts for the last ten-plus years included -- a stack almost two inches thick -- and a one-page quick-reference summary!  Front brake pads and rotors, and all front suspension bushings replaced in the last year.  Clutch and catalytic converter replaced, and shocks rebuilt and revalved in the last two years.  Motor has only 55k miles on it, and was rebuilt by Bill Brown at AEBS specifically to SCCA Solo stock rules, with all factory parts.  Motor was rebuilt in the original block, and is numbers-matching. This is as hot an engine as you're going to get SCCA stock legal!  Shocks are Koni yellows, revalved by ProParts specifically for SCCA stock class Solo racing.  Other than that, this car is bone stock and unmolested.

Comes ready to go with all the consumables race quality -- oil pan is full of Royal Purple 5W30 full synthetic, transmission is full of Redline MTL, brake fluid resevoir full of Motul RBF600, and Hawk HPS brake pads ready at all four corners.  The street tires the car comes with are Dunlop Direzza DZ-101s with about 2000 miles on them and >80% tread remaining.  Competition tires are also available separately.

These cars are rare enough in any condition to begin with, but you just won't find another this clean, original, and well maintained anywhere.  Treasure it as your unicorn, or continue its racing history and take over D-Stock in SCCA Solo competition with it!

Please see the following video for more views of the car:

In person inspection and test drive is available by appointment in the vicinity of Vista, CA 92084.  Please contact me to arrange.

Summary page of full maintenance history, containing date and mileage of all items, can also be sent to interested bidders through eBay's message system.  Please contact me if you'd like to receive that.

For those of you who saw this car listed earlier and are wondering what happened, the buyer backed out at the last minute.  The day before he was supposed to sign the loan paperwork, he found out his wife is pregnant, decided he couldn't afford both a kid and his dream car, and canceled the whole deal.  The auction ended at $12,500.  I'll take the first offer that matches that price.

2014 Acura RLX gets trick hybrid all-wheel drive system for LA

Tue, 19 Nov 2013

Acura has endured a year of mixed reviews and middling sales for its new RLX flagship. Meanwhile, the Japanese automaker has been readying what may be the very best version of the car for its debut. Now the wait is almost over, as Acura will show its 2014 RLX Sport Hybrid SH-AWD at this year's LA Auto Show.
When it comes to dealerships in the spring of 2014, the RLX Hybrid will be the most powerful production car Acura has ever sold. The combination of a 3.5-liter V6 and three electric motors - a 35-kilowatt motor pushing torque to the front wheels and two 27-kW units feeding the rears - creates a total system output of 377 horsepower.
Those rear-end electric motors do more than just add power, they also drive the rear wheels without a traditional rear drive shaft and differential. This newest iteration of the Super Handling-All Wheel Drive calls upon the two rear motors to both drive and brake the rear wheels, vectoring torque in cornering situations for additional grip. All three electric motors make use of regenerative braking to feed electricity back into the system's 260-volt lithium-ion battery pack.

Honda to present HR-V, updated Acura ILX at LA show

Mon, 20 Oct 2014

Honda has already showcased its new Fit-based crossover around the world. We've seen it in Tokyo wearing the Vezel name and we've seen it in Paris in 'prototype' form. We've even seen photos of the US-spec version. We just haven't seen that North American model in the flesh, but that'll all be fixed next month at the Los Angeles Auto Show.
That's where Honda will, at long last, unveil the US version of its new HR-V subcompact. The Japanese automaker hasn't told us much else, save to say that the HR-V will, of course, slot in below the CR-V in US showrooms. It'll also feature the company's lauded Magic Seat system, "which allows for multiple seating configurations and the ability to fold the second row seat completely flat for added cargo space."
Alongside the HR-V, Honda's luxury division will also be showcasing a revised version of its ILX sedan at the LA show as well. Acura hasn't revealed precise details of what revisions are in store for its smallest sedan - or a more detailed photo than the teaser inset at right - but it is promising "a comprehensive update that include a potent new powertrain, more forceful, sporty exterior styling and a substantially upgraded interior design."

How Seinfeld hopes he'll help industry make better car commercials [w/video]

Fri, 04 Oct 2013

Bloomberg has a fascinating look into a web series that continues to be a favorite around the Autoblog offices - Jerry Seinfeld's Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee. The series, which is in its second season, sees the affable comedian picking up fellow comedians in a range of interesting cars, and having conversations with them over the drive and a cup of joe.
The piece by Bloomberg dives into the development of the series, as well as Seinfeld's tie-up with Acura, which saw the Honda-owned brand begin sponsorship this season. That relationship started not with his web series, though, but with a Super Bowl ad, alongside fellow funnyman and car enthusiast Jay Leno, that saw them competing over a new Acura NSX. Have a click over to Bloomberg for an entertaining piece that looks beyond the YouTube series. We've also wrangled Seinfeld's original Super Bowl ad for the Acura NSX, which you can see below.
