1994 Honda Civic Vx - Cannot Smog In California on 2040-cars
Shingle Springs, California, United States
I am selling my Honda Civic VX because it will not pass CA smog testing due to a cracked
exhaust manifold. The exhaust manifold is California-specific and is
unique to the VX and CX Civics which makes the part relatively rare, and
as a result I've been unable to find a replacement part; the
manufacturer has discontinued it, no aftermarket company offers it,
and I was unable to find any used replacements.
You may have better luck or more patience finding a good CA-specific manifold. Or, since there are many other Civic engines that would fit into the VX, you could swap in a different engine. The VX is very light (300lbs lighter than the Si HB) that with a different engine it would perform really well. Yet another option would be to take it out of state; the non-Cali parts (new and used) are much more abundant. The previous owner was the original owner and used it to commute ~100 miles per day on the freeway. The car still runs great; last timing belt change was at 300,000; last oil change was about 200 miles ago, and coolant was replaced about 100 miles ago. No leaks, no overheating, and negligible oil consumption (about 1/2 to 1 quart per oil change). The car is being sold as-is; this is your chance to get a legendary fuel miser (I averaged 50mpg during the time that I drove it) for little money and a little work. Thank you for bidding. Pros:

Newest version of Honda's ASIMO coming to TV on April 15
Mon, 07 Apr 2014Honda's ASIMO robot is moving into its teenage years, having originally been introduced in 2000, and like all teens, it's still learning. The bot has received regular incremental upgrades over that time, and the latest version will premiere on LIVE with Kelly and Michael on Tuesday, April 15.
The newest enhancements provide ASIMO with improved hand dexterity, the ability to use sign language, run faster, climb stars more smoothly, balance on one foot, jump and more. Honda says other new features will be demonstrated with hosts Kelly Ripa and Michael Strahan on the show.
The ongoing development of ASIMO, which stands for Advanced Step in Innovative Mobility, is being done so that one day it can help humans who require assistance. The current version is 4-feet, 3-inches tall, weighs 110 pounds and is made mostly from magnesium alloy and plastic. A big limit is still its lithium-ion battery that only provides 40 minutes of charge. The robot has not needed human control to move since a previous iteration in 2011, which also improved its manual dexterity. It could even pour drinks.
Honda and Mario Andretti cite pedestrians for excessive slowness
Thu, 05 Jun 2014Honda and the Andretti family have a lot to celebrate at the moment. Andretti Autosport driver Ryan Hunter-Reay won the 2014 Indianapolis 500 in his Honda-powered car, and Marco Andretti, Mario's grandson, also managed to take the third step on the podium. Apparently, the victory is making them feel magnanimous because Honda and Mario Andretti are giving the chance to ride with him in a two-seat, open wheel car.
To promote the contest, they created the Honda Speed Patrol to ticket anyone going too slow. It's an interesting idea, and the chance to ride with Andretti would be the opportunity of a lifetime. Perhaps the biggest shock of the video, though, might be when you realize how short Mario is when you see him milling about in public. Scroll down to watch one of America's most respected racers cite people in Chicago for being too slow.
Honda recalls nearly 10,000 new Civic models over pinched tires
Mon, 31 Mar 2014Honda is recalling some 9,816 Civic LX coupes and sedans from the 2014 model year due to a potential tire problem.
According to a National Highway Traffic Safety Administration notice, the safety problem stems from an installation problem at a supplier, which may have caused the tire bead to become pinched between the steel wheel and the mounting equipment. As a result, tire beads may have been damaged, which could result in a loss of pressure, a condition that could lead to an increased accident risk, or at least an increased risk of being stranded and late for work.
Honda spokesperson Chris Martin tells Autoblog, "Only about 1,800 of that 9,800 have been sold because we caught it so quickly. The majority of them were in transit or unsold at dealers."
