1994 Honda Del Sol Vtec on 2040-cars
Newark, Ohio, United States
|
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 Odyssey hybrid under consideration in Japan, but not US
Thu, Feb 13 2014"Over time you can expect to see broader application of our two motor hybrid system" - Sage Marie The idea of a hybrid minivan is not new, at least in Japan. Toyota sells the Estima - the world's first hybrid minivan, it has been available since 2001 - and the Aphard hybrids there. The US is not immune to the dream - in 2011, Chrysler said it was going to make a hybrid minivan in 2013 (didn't happen) - but there has never been a gas-electric minivan sold from a major automaker in the US. And, despite new rumors of a Honda Odyssey hybrid for Japan, the chances that the US will get one in the near future remain roughly at zero. A new report says Honda is considering a hybrid version of the fifth-generation Odyssey in Japan, and such a gas-electric powertrain could reduce fuel use by up to 50 percent. Honda powertrain assistant large project leader Takashi Shinchi told CarAdvice that the hybrid (not a plug-in version) is "under consideration," given the hybrid minivan competition in Japan. Such consideration is not happening in the US, at least not in any serious way. Sage Marie, senior manager of public relations for Honda North America, told AutoblogGreen, "The only thing the Japanese Odyssey and the US Odyssey have in common is the name. There are no current plans for a US Odyssey hybrid, but I will tell you that over time you can expect to see broader application of our industry-leading two motor hybrid system." The standard, gas-powered 2014 Odyssey gets 22 miles per gallon, combined (19 city and 28 highway).

Five automakers now being investigated by NHTSA for airbag woes
Thu, 12 Jun 2014It appears that Toyota's renotification to owners of recalled vehicles from last year is just the tip of the iceberg for what could potentially be a much larger industry-wide recall. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is opening a preliminary evaluation investigation into roughly 1.1 million vehicles from Chrysler, Honda, Mazda, Nissan, Toyota and parts supplier Takata regarding faulty airbag inflators in several models.
NHTSA has received six reports - three directly, two from Takata and one from Toyota - of vehicles with ruptured airbag inflators from 2002-2006, which resulted in three injuries. So far, all six incidents have occurred in high humidity areas like Florida and Puerto Rico. According to Toyota's latest recall announcement, the inflators may have an improper propellant that could cause it to rupture in a crash and the bag to deploy abnormally.
This new investigation follows a previous recall from April 2013 of about 3.4 million vehicles worldwide for the airbag inflators from Takata. As Autoblog reported, Toyota jumpstarted the new situation when it found that the original list of serial numbers for the faulty part was incomplete and discovered more cars in need of replacement. Honda and Nissan told us that they were investigating whether further models would need called in again as well. Mazda told Autoblog: "Regarding the current Takata situation, we're working closely with NHTSA and investigating the situation, but nothing else to report at this time." Chrysler Group responded to us with the statement: "Chrysler Group engineers are conducting the appropriate analysis. The Company will cooperate fully with the National Highway Traffic Administration."
Honda Civic Tourer sports forbidden facelift
Tue, 29 Jul 2014Following up on a sextet of spy photos from June, we now have another batch of images of the facelifted Euro-spec Honda Civic undergoing testing in the United Kingdom. There's a bit more sheetmetal to this particular prototype, though, as our spy photographers have caught the upcoming Tourer model (pronounced "wagon" among us Yanks).
Like the hatchback we showed you last month, the new Tourer benefits from the same set of styling tweaks inspired by the Civic Type R Concept from March's Geneva Motor Show. That means it boasts a revised front fascia, albeit with a more heavily camouflaged version of the grille shown in last month's photos. It's a similar story below, where the intakes on this long-roof model wear more disguise, yet look to be virtually identical to what we've already seen.
While the headlights still look to be a straight lift from last month's car, the more upright nature of the Tourer's tailgate demands a more subdued character. Gone are the thin, curvy LED taillights, and in their place sit significantly more substantial units (with conventional bulbs), although they boast none of the design chutzpah shown on our last round of spy photos. Our spies claim LED taillights will be available, noting that they simply aren't fitted to this particular prototype, a distinction that suggests this is a lower-end model.
