1995 Honda Civic Dx With H23a Dohc Vtec Swap on 2040-cars

US $6,000.00
Year:1995 Mileage:176200

 I am selling my 1995 Honda Civic DX coupe
The chassis has around 176000 miles on it.

I have several extra parts for the car. Fans, door panels from an EX, bolts, wiring, etc. which you are welcome to if you want them.

This car does have a rebuilt salvage title. I purchased it from a junkyard 10 years ago. It was Totaled by the insurance company because of theft. The front fenders, front bumper, hood, and seats and trim were stolen out of it. There was no collision. When I bought the car the odometer said 145514. There is a mistake on the Title where a previous inspection station switched the odo numbers before I bought it. So the title flags a possible roll back. It didn't have a roll back. the guy just wasn't very good at his job. Now the odo says 28k(and counting), but it is exempt now, so...

*Full 2.5" 304SS Mandrel bent exhaust including 14" resonator, HushPower High Flow Cat, and OBX DUNK Muffler with 4.5" angled tip

*Heated front seats (Driver and Passenger) Brand New eBay kit.
*JDM OE Center arm rest ($90.00)
*Modified Front shifter console to accept the Accord shifter assembly and still keeps the cup holders
--Note the cup holder door will not latch closed because of the necessary modification for it to fit. So the cup holder is always in the open position.
*Black Carpet (8/10) There is some wear on the driver side where your heals rest while driving. But it is under the floor mat, so....
*Black and Grey interior in extremely good condition (The A-Pillar on the driver side has holes drilled in it for an autometer 3-pod pillar overlay with. (I will be including the gauges as well. The tachometer is broken. But the car has stock tach.
*AC EL Dash Gauges
*RCA cords are already run under the carpet for a 2nd amp if you decide to amplify door speakers/add rear speakers etc.
*Rota Circuit8 Bronze Gunmetal Wheels with Hancook Ventus 205/50 R15 on the front and Kumho Ecsta 195/55 R15 on the Back
*Interior sound deadening including HushMat in the cabin floor pan, and Tar/Foil in the trunk.

The not so good:
No power steering.
No windshield washer system.
Right front CV axle is popping when you turn.
Front end paint repair was done by me. So there are some spots that could use professional attention.
Front bumper is OE flat black primed.

Overall:
This is a really nice car. For a 20 year old Honda Civic DX, I doubt you will find a cleaner, nicer ride. A complete, ready to enjoy vehicle that has both performance and luxuries like A/C and a Clean body with new Paint is rare in this scene. This is not a riced out, hellaflush, slammed vehicle. It is drivable daily on all roads, has a lot of on hand power, but does not sacrifice comfort while it does it. I've done everything to make this civic, the car that I dreamed of 11 years ago, and I wasn't going to stop till I saw it through. I have 5 cars, and I am working on a rear wheel drive project now, this car was my dream car a long time ago, I really just want someone to enjoy it. I have moved on and developed different tastes in cars, So now it is ready for YOU! As with any used car sale you understand that this is a used car and I offer no warranty. As far as I know this is a really nice Civic right now, ready for someone to love. Over $14K invested...

Six 'shut up and take my money' cars

Tue, 11 Nov 2014

Any time you see this iconic moment in pop culture - Shut up and take my money! - posted in response to a new car reveal, rumor for an upcoming model or even lip-service to a vehicle that should exist, you can bet there's some intrinsic good in the idea. Though depending on the person offering up the cash, that good could take the form of extraordinary form, functionality, weight savings, power, handling, etc. You get the idea.
In fact, when I first proposed this list, I reached out to the Autoblog staff to help me brainstorm. Here are some of the ideas they offered up that I ultimately didn't use: Jaguar XE Coupe, Pagani Huayra Roadster, Mercedes-Benz S-Class "parade car" (cabriolet), Morgan 3-Wheeler with Ducati V-twin, Ford Transit Connectamino (pickup), Mercedes CLA63 AMG, Ford Fusion 5.0, BMW i8 Spyder, Lexus RC-F Shooting Brake, Volvo XC90 Polestar. Oh, and things we collectively wanted to stick Dodge's Hellcat in were almost as numerous as models that Fiat Chrysler Automotive currently makes (though none quite so compelling as the Grand Cherokee you see above.)
Ultimately though, while I used a couple of ideas from my colleagues, the list of cars I'd shell out for unquestionably is very personal. Though it isn't complete, what follows is a selection of cars whose very existence would prompt me - or the trust-fund-baby versions of me - to utter without hesitation: "Shut up and take my money."

Acura organizes new business division to confront falling sedan sales

Wed, 26 Feb 2014

Honda and Acura North America have announced a major restructuring of operations in hopes of turning around Acura's flagging business. For 2013, sales for Acura's sedans dropped 10.4 percent, while its CUV sales grew by 21 percent. The newly formed Acura Business Planning Office will attempt to right the ship.
As part of the restructuring, Acura is promoting Erik Berkman from President of Honda R&D Americas to lead a new division called the Acura Business Planning Office. Berkman has been with Honda since 1982 and led development of the 2006 Accord. He was also the first US engineer to head North American research and development and has been head of Honda Performance Development since 2008. "Erik's appointment to the new Acura Business Planning Office is a clear indication of the high priority we place on Acura," said Honda spokesperson Jeffrey Smith to Automotive News.
American Honda Motor President and CEO Tetsuo Iwamura is also going to be working to improve the business. He has been elected chairman of American Honda's board, and has simultaneously taken the new position of Corporate Brand Officer to improve the management of the company's brands.

Honda Tourer BTCC car lavished with photographic love

Wed, 19 Mar 2014

Back in December, Honda Yuasa Racing gave us one image of the Civic Tourer entrant it's fielding in the 2014 British Touring Car Championship. Thanks to media days at Brands Hatch and a few photos from Oulton Park, we've got a whole photo album of the elongated Civic that will attempt to continue Honda's BTCC winning ways and shots of drivers Gordon Shedden and Matt Neal.
This is the first wagon to race in the BTCC since 1994, when Jan Lammers and Rickard Rydel had just one year to throw the Volvo 850 Estate BTCC between the kerbing. The following year, the rules were changed so that rear wings couldn't extend above the roofline or beyond the rear bumper, which meant the end of Volvo's blue and white "pizza delivery wagon."
The season begins on March 30 at Brands Hatch, when Shedden and Neal will begin trying to wrest the driver's championship crown from Pirtek Racing. We don't know anything more about the manufacturer entry go-fast Civic Tourer, however, which means this is just an easy feast for the eyes. Because racing wagon.
