Up for sale is a 1994 Honda Del Sol. Adult owned. Bought the car from an adult with 90xxx miles on it, and I am selling it with 151,xxx.

This has been my daily highway and traveling car. Traveled from Florida to Chicago with this car with no issues. This car has had the maintenance completed as required for the car. I have only had to put brakes, tires and oil changes to this car. A new windshield was put on the car 3 months ago, due to a chip in the window.  This is a SOHC VTEC engine. For those who do not know, this is the car that works to get great fuel mileage. The engine and transmission work together to reduce the total amount of RPM's needed to get to speed.

This is a fun car! Jumps off the line and I average 270 miles on a 9.5 gallon tank. This is usually a week’s worth of driving for me. I get about 320 miles on a longer trips. The tires have about 40-50% tread life left, these are Michelin branded tires.

Just had the car looked over, the technician said that the brake master cylinder needs to be replaced soon - this is a 50.00 part, cheaper on Rock Auto. Total parts for the changeover if you know how to work on brakes yourself should be about 65 - 75.00 - because you need to buy more brake fluid to bleed the brakes to get rid of the air in the lines when you change the master brake cylinder. A shop will charge about 400.00 with parts and labor.

Fun things with this car. This has been adult owned the whole time. A suspension kit called SKUNK2 was installed to allow the car to hug the road better on corners and to allow for a wider rim to gain more traction. No joke, this car takes corners and adjusts to quick movements on the highway like a true sports car. This long term kit was installed at around 75K miles on the car, previous owner. This car has coil over shocks on all 4 corners of the car. Doesn't bounce and handles the road great! There are NO chop shop back yard mechanics to this car. Very reliable and just awesome to drive anywhere as a front wheel drive car!

I am 6'2" and I fit fine in this car. I actually have to pull the seat up some.

This car has a removable hard top that goes into the trunk for storage, with more storage still available for when you go out shopping or carrying some party supplies to a BBQ. :) See attached pictures. I pulled the carpet so that you could see that there are no gasket leaks, seals are good all the way around the car.

Under the car is great!

This has slotted rotors. Meant to reduce heat and improve braking.  Technician said that the pads are within 3mm of needing replaced, so by winter or next spring - depending on how hard you are on disc brakes - they will need replaced. I would replace these when you replace the master cylinder. You can see how to do this on a YouTube video if you would like to see if you comfortable in doing this yourself.

There are two minor rust spots, see pics. They are located to the rear of the car, and just out in front of the rear wheels. Rest of car is in great shape.

Rims are OK, they have about 70K miles on them. I do not have the original rims. But I do have two additional tires with the sale of the car.

This is a black car. Interior is a dark clothe. This is a fun automatic. This has a nice Pioneer CD deck that has an AUX input and a USB port. You can change the colors to some 50 options. This car has 6 speakers, 4 by the driver and passenger, the other 2 in the doors. This is ALL stock. Sounds great.

I am only selling this car to get a truck. The insurance is cheap on this car. Or I would be keeping it if I could get a hitch to put on it for hauling.

The timing belt was changed over at 110K miles. So the fluids to the tranny, the radiator and engine were all changed over as well. I have been changing the oil over 3-3500 miles.

The body is a 7/10, due to slight rust and the bumper has some pebble marks on it. The interior is an 8/10 - only due to tear in driver side backside of seat.

I have looked around for an all-inclusive warranty for this car, and I found one for ~1600, 5 yr/75k miles. It’s a great warranty, had the same with another Honda (civic) I had and I didn't have to pay a deductible or anything for any repairs - including brakes and shocks! But it’s your call if you think you need added peace of mind. The engine has no mods. Just an updated exhaust and alternator, 2 years old. Tune-up is 2 years old as well.

Any questions, let me know. I have been building and restoring cars and motorcycles for over 10 years. I am at 100% and I will answer any questions that you may ask. Looking to sell fast to get something else.  Trying to sell over eBay this round. Selling locally as well, have the right to end this auction early if sold. Being sold as-is where-is. This is a daily driver, so more miles will be on this car by the time someone gets this car.

Thank you for reading, take care!

Honda fielding 11 entrants at Pikes Peak, including 532-hp Odyssey

Tue, 11 Jun 2013

Is it possible for a minivan to be more exciting than an Acura NSX? Well, Honda is trying to find out by entering a 532-horsepower Odyssey into the 2013 Pikes Peak International Hill Climb with IndyCar racer Simon Pagenaud behind the wheel.
Starting with a stock Odyssey, Honda dropped in a turbocharged 3.5-liter V6 producing an estimated 532 hp and 460 pound-feet of torque as well as racing suspension, tires and brakes and one of the biggest roll cages you're likely to ever see. If this van looks familiar to you, you aren't alone - it's a veteran of the Tire Rack One Lap of America.
In addition to this super minivan, Honda will also be entering a first-gen NSX, CR-Z hybrid, Fit EV and Acura TL into the competition as well as five motorcycles and an all-terrain vehicle. Scroll down for the full details on Honda's comprehensive assault on Pikes Peak.

NHTSA Probes Nearly 400,000 Infiniti, Honda Vehicles Over Steering Faults

Tue, Nov 11 2014

As many as 391,000 vehicles from Honda and Infiniti may eventually need to be recalled as a result of two, separately announced Preliminary Evaluations from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration to ascertain the scope of the potential safety hazards. In one of the queries, NHTSA is looking into 24 reports from drivers of the 2013 Honda Accord who say they had total loss of their power steering or experienced a sudden increase in the necessary effort to turn the wheel. In four cases, the problem may be linked to crashes. According to the claims, 13 people reported seeing a warning message during the failure. Turning off the car and restarting it would fix the issue in some cases. If a recall is necessary, it could affect an estimated 374,000 Accords. The second investigation is much smaller in scope. The safety agency is investigating the 2008 Infiniti EX35 after two complaints of the steering wheel shaft separating and the vehicle losing the ability to steer. Both reports say the steering became loose when driving and then completely failed once the vehicle was stopped. A recall for the problem would affect an estimated 17,000 vehicles.

Honda Expands Takata Airbag Recall To 5.4M Units In The US

Tue, Dec 9 2014

While Honda already announced plans to take its front driver's side Takata airbag inflator recall nationwide, the automaker has now officially reported on the number of affected vehicles and the specific models in need of repair. The expanded campaign covers an estimated 5.4 million units across the US, including those already being fixed under the previous regional actions. That number is an expansion of the five million units initially reported by NHTSA. The affected models under the nationwide recall are the 2001-2007 Accord with a four-cylinder engine, 2001-2002 Accord V6, 2001-2005 Civic, 2002-2006 CR-V, 2003-2011 Element, 2002-2004 Odyssey, 2003-2007 Pilot, 2006 Ridegline, 2003-2006 Acura MDX, 2002-2003 TL and 2002 CL. For customers who expressed concern about their vehicle's safety, Honda had already been replacing the inflators nationwide. It's possible for the inflators in these vehicles to rupture when inflating the airbag, spraying metal fragments at occupants. This problem has been blamed for at least five deaths worldwide and at least 139 reported injuries. In its statement, Honda said that it worked with Takata to test the recalled inflators in the original high-humidity recall regions, and there were no abnormal deployments in these evaluations. Honda will begin notifying owners by "over time," according to its statement. Priority will be put on the geographic areas with the highest risk of ruptures. Those in the original recall region were contacted in September. Earlier in December, Honda partnered with Autoliv to supply the automaker with replacement inflators for this campaign. Autoliv predicted it would take six months for deliveries to start. Takata also increased its production of substitute components. Scroll down to read the company's announcement of this nationwide expansion. Statement by American Honda Regarding National Safety Improvement Campaign: Driver's Front Airbag Inflator Supplied by Takata Dec 8, 2014 - TORRANCE, Calif. Honda will voluntarily expand a regional Safety Improvement Campaign initiated in June 2014 (NHTSA No. 14V-351) into a national Safety Improvement Campaign affecting certain 2001 through 2011 Honda and Acura vehicles in the United States to replace the driver frontal airbag inflator, free of charge. Honda is expanding this Safety Improvement Campaign to address concerns raised by its customers whose vehicles were not included in the regional campaign.
