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. -

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 accused of not reporting all airbag problems
Fri, 17 Oct 2014The Takata airbag recall that has afflicted a number of automakers may have just taken a very bad turn for Honda, which has already recalled over one million vehicles. Clarence Ditlow and the Center for Auto Safety have accused the Japanese manufacturer of failing to report two "injury-and-death" incidents. To determine just what happened, the company has initiated a third-party audit.
According to Bloomberg, CAS claims Honda failed to report fatalities in 2009 and 2013, a point Honda doesn't seem to contest, indicating that it didn't report so-called "verbal claims."
"It is our understanding that some manufacturers choose to include these types of verbal claims, and that these constitute the majority of the injury-and-death claims that they report to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration," the company told Bloomberg via email. "We believe this practice accounts for the vast majority of the difference between the total number of injury-and-death claims reported by Honda compared to certain other manufacturers."
Honda NM4 concept motorcycles channel Akira
Fri, 21 Mar 2014Honda has rolled out a pair of new motorcycle concepts at the Osaka Motorcycle Show in its home market of Japan, and they're our first glimpse at the company's "neo-futuristic" NM4. Shown in both stealthy black and an eye-catching white, the NM4s are sharp creations that feature interesting riding positions.
Honda calls the concepts' seating "the cockpit position," claiming that it unifies bike with rider. We don't know about that, but we will admit that compared to most sportbike seats - which are more or less just bits of padding to squeeze between your legs - these bikes' saddles look more or less like conventional seats. Honda says that their backrests are adjustable, which should provide a comfortable riding experience. Still, with these bikes' sporting looks, we can't imagine their low seats are going to be great for dipping knees through the bends (although the should lower the center of gravity, so perhaps it's a wash).
Both show bikes, NM4-01 and NM4-02, are powered by 745-cc, two-cylinder engines, while dual-clutch transmissions are employed to dispatch unspecified amounts of power to their wide rear tires. The bikes are nearly identical save for different colors, but the NM4-02 features an integral set of hard panniers for increased utility. We've got a gallery of both, so hop up above and take a look.

2015 Honda Civic Type R to sire next-gen CR-Z?
Mon, 16 Sep 2013Salt shakers at the ready, boys and girls. There's a rumor out of Australia claiming the next Honda CR-Z will be based on the forthcoming 276-horsepower, turbocharged Civic Type R. Apparently Honda's research and development bigwigs have been unnerved by the reception of the Scion FR-S/Subaru BRZ twins and are eager to return fire.
Now, don't get too excited - Honda isn't following the Volkswagen model of offering virtually unchanged mechanicals in a different bodyshell (Beetle Turbo and GTI, for example). Instead, the report says the future CR-Z will retain its hybrid powertrain, albeit with a serious kick in the pants. A prototype is said to already be zipping around Japan with a turbocharged, direct-injected, 1.5-liter, four-cylinder engine and the current CR-Z's electric motor and battery pack. With a reported 221 horsepower mated up to a seven-speed, dual-clutch transmission (say buh-bye to the CVT and six-speed manual) and the next-gen Civic platform underneath, the rumored CR-Z has all the makings of a hot hatch riot.
Of course, this all sounds wonderful. This is also the point where you should be enjoying that salt. We really like the idea of a properly hot CR-Z that can compete with John Cooper Works Mini models and the new Ford Fiesta ST, but the three-door hybrid has been such a slow seller for Honda in the US that it might not field a second generation here, no matter how improved it might be. Let us know what you think of an amped-up CR-Z in the comments. Is it a good idea, or is this one Honda model that's just too far gone?
