Well, in a series of unfortunate events, I've decided to sell my 1994 Civic DX 5 Speed. I used this car for hypermiling the entire time I've had it and got 50 mpg or more most of the time, to 75-82 mpg on a few select trips.It's got 251,000 miles on it now. It's a DX so, manual steering, manual windows, manual door locks, etc.
But alas, it needs a motor now. Thing is, that's all it really needs. I put a ton of work into the car in the last year or so to make it very roadworthy but I think it's time for a new car. For those of you interested in swapping a motor this would be a perfect donor shell to do it. Essentially completely stock.
Non-smoker, Interior is very clean.
So, here goes.
The Good:
- Tires have a lot of tread left. Maybe 30,000 miles on them.
- New brake pads and rotors up front.
- New brake shoes in the back.
- New LF lower control arm (No accidents, bushing went).
- New clutch and Fidanza lightweight flywheel. (Maybe 15k on clutch and flywheel).
- New high capacity aluminum radiator, aftermarket high flow fan, upper and lower radiator hoses, heater hoses and a couple other miscellaneous coolant hoses (Maybe 15,000 miles on it) with Evans NPG coolant throughout and spring removed on radiator cap (Needs an engine though, so not like it matters... lol).
- Some eBay header the shop I worked at had laying around (old), fairly new hidden muffler with turndown tip.
- New Starter (Less than 1,000 miles on it, but if you can source a starter I'd like to return this one since I still have the receipt. If not, take it. ;D)
- MPGuino fuel computer installed in Civic SI gauge cluster.
- Large interior JDM fanboy rally mirror included with sale.
- Axles only 1 year old (Although I see one beginning to leak on the RF).
- Rebuilt original cylinder head with 30k since rebuild.
-There's barely any rust besides the typical rear 1/4 panel rust, which also isn't very bad. See pictures. There are holes in the rear 1/4 panels from where I had screws attaching rear wheel covers. These could be easily filled in as well. (Car needs a paint job anyway.) Underbody is fine. Rust hole forming on RF fender and various small rust spots forming here and there.
- Aftermarket head unit (albeit and old one).
- Cool early 1980's Civic/CRX hubcaps
- Full Size Spare
- OEM Antenna delete with interior antenna installed above windshield
I think that may cover the good. If you have any other questions, feel free to ask me.
The Bad:
- Needs a motor. Like definitely needs a motor. 30,000 miles ago, I saw white smoke coming out the tailpipe so I knew it needed a head gasket at least. Upon further inspection of the motor when disassembled, I noticed there was a lot of pitting in the block next to sleeve of cylinder 3 if I recall correctly but I said, "Screw it. Let's put a head gasket on and see what happens.". Converted to Evans NPG so I could run a 0 PSI cap which I figured would be less likely to put pressure on the weak area of the block and I was right. For 30,000 miles. Started misfiring for about 5 secs when starting up in the morning a couple weeks ago but then ran fine. Coolant was spewing in small amounts out of the overflow and getting this sticky carbon like stuff in it. I put a pressure cap on to see what would happen. Sure enough, the misfire got worse and I found a drop of coolant on the tip of the tailpipe. If I top off the coolant, the motor still runs fine with the 0 PSI cap on it, so you should be able to drive it wherever you're going home to without any overheating issues. I have one gallon of NPG left and if you need it for the ride home, you can have it.
- It may need a brake master cylinder. The pedal sinks a bit randomly, but there are no leaks on any of the lines at all. They're all in pretty good shape from what I remember. If you're hypermiling, you're going to be driving a bit of a ways behind people anyway, so it hasn't been enough of an issue for me to replace it.
- Could use some new speakers. The speakers are stock but the RF door speaker intermittently works. I've taken the door panel off and messed with it before, but to no avail. The LF speaker works but it's not very loud.
- Have heard a clunking noise in the front end for a while, but can't pinpoint source. No looseness in front end up or down, no sway bar end links to make noise. I'm assuming its the strut mounts as they are original.
- Hole in the carpet by the gas pedal, driver's seat tear.
- The paint. Many different shades of red. Many dings and scratches but overall not horrendous. A paint job would make it look great. Once again, there are holes in the rear 1/4 panels from where I had screws attaching rear wheel covers and some on the front fenders. These could be easily filled in as well although I'd replace the front fenders if it were me. (Car needs a paint job anyway.) Underbody is fine. Rust hole forming on RF fender and various small rust spots forming here and there.
I think that about covers the bad. Once again, any more questions, I'll be happy to answer.

2014 Honda Ridgeline keeps on truckin' with new special edition model
Fri, 06 Sep 2013Like many smaller trucks, the Honda Ridgeline has been left to stagnate on the market for far too many years. With production of the current model reportedly winding down later next year before production of the next-gen model picks up in 2016, Honda is sending the 2014 Ridgeline out with some style courtesy of a new Special Edition trim level.
The new Ridgeline SE essentially adds cues from the Ridgeline Sport to the luxurious RTL trim level. The means features like black-trimmed 18-inch alloys and matching interior trim arrives as a no-cost option. This new model carries the same starting price as the RTL at $37,505 (*not including $830 for destination), and all other trim level pricing is carried over unchanged from the 2013 model year. The new SE model won't be available until November, and it is not pictured in the image galleries (all of which seem to be identical to previous model years).
Speaking of carryover products, Honda has also released pricing for the unchanged 2014 Pilot and 2014 Acura TL, which will continue to be priced from $29,670 and $36,030, respectively (Acura's destination charge is $890). Scroll down for press releases on the 2014 Ridgeline, Pilot and TL.
McLaren collaborating with Honda future road cars?
Fri, 02 Aug 2013McLaren and Honda may expand their alliance beyond the world of Formula 1, according a report from the UK's Autocar, which quotes McLaren CEO Martin Whitmarsh.
Citing the multi-year deal, Whitmarsh remarked at last weekend's Hungarian Grand Prix, "It's a pure Formula 1 contract, but we've already been looking at automotive technology and we're sharing that very openly. Our road car strategy at the moment has no other automotive partner and Honda would be a good place to collaborate."
Still, we wouldn't count on seeing a McLaren-Honda road car in the near future. According to Autocar, McLaren's road-car division is already tied up working on a rival for the Porsche 911, called the P13.
Consumer Reports says these are the worst new cars of 2014
Thu, 27 Feb 2014Consumer Reports has announced its annual list of worst vehicles, a cringe-inducing contrast to its list of top vehicles. Ignominiously leading the way in 2014 is Chrysler, which has a staggering seven models listed.
Jeep nearly sweeps the small SUV segment by itself, with its Compass, Patriot and 2.4-liter version of the new Cherokee, while the only midsize sedans listed by CR were the Chrysler 200 and Dodge Avenger. The new Dodge Dart and the Dodge Journey round out CR's condemnation of Chrysler.
Ford is taking heat as well, with the Taurus, Edge and their counterparts from Lincoln all listed as the worst vehicles in their respective segments. Toyota doesn't fare much better, with its Lexus IS, Scion iQ and tC also making the list.
