Hi,
Up for bids is my RESTORED 1994 Honda Del Sol Si. It has a 127HP SOHC D16Z6 VTEC engine. The engine and transmission now work perfectly with very smooth and brisk power delivery. The car is a restored FLORIDA car that is RUST FREE and DENT FREE. It was purchased four years ago from a dealership in Sarasota, FL and then driven by me back to Ohio. It was parked for the first two Ohio winters and then occasionally driven in the next two Ohio winters. Two years ago, I had the car repainted at MAACO due to a substantial fading of the paint from the intense Florida sunlight. The paint level chosen was MAACO's top-of -the-line "original factory quality" basecoat plus clearcoat. The repainting cost nearly $1000. I'm selling the car because I recently bought a newer car and I don't need an extra car. I believe that this automatic transmission Del Sol is preferable to the manual transmission version since the gas mileage is still very good (about 35 mpg) and it is much more comfortable and convenient for city driving. Further, it eliminates the possible cost of a worn out clutch replacement which would cost about $700 to $900. Also, I believe that the 1994 version of this car is also much more preferable than the 1993 version because it has BOTH a driver's and a passenger's airbag and because the air-conditioning uses the newer R134A refrigerant as opposed to the older and now obsolete R12 refrigerant. The car also includes a fully working cruise control. EVERYTHING WORKS ON THE CAR (except for the Pioneer CD stereo's "eject" function). A CD can be removed if one carefully grabs the partially ejected CD with one's fingertips. This is a ONE TIME NO RESERVE auction. This car will not be re-listed. Don't miss this rare opportunity!!!
During the last month or so the following maintenance was done to the car to make the car great for the next owner:
1) Installed a new Bosch oxygen sensor (and a new standard exhaust manifold) to make the engine run much more like it did when the car was new (much smoother idling, more power, lower emissions, better MPG)
2) Installed a new radiator since the existing one had a slow leak and was corroded
3) Installed a new high pressure air-conditioning hose between the compressor and the condenser since it was leaking refrigerant, then recharged the AC with R134A. The AC is now ICE COLD and no further leaks have been detected
4) Installed new door key lock cylinders and had the cylinders keyed so that they use the existing (ignition and trunk) key. The key locks work very easily and perfectly now, just like a new car!!!
5) Installed a new driver's side power window motor to restore normal window operation
6) Installed two new high quality P185/60/R14 front tires (and had a front end alignment done) that match the same one year old (like new) rear tires.
7) Installed a new rubber valve cover gasket (it does not leak now)
8) Installed new "Civic" and "del Sol" decals on the back of the car
9) Installed a new oil dipstick
10) Installed a new FRAM oil filter and changed the oil to Mobil 1 synthetic (high mileage) oil.
11) Very thoroughly cleaned the inside, both door jams, trunk, and alloy rims and tires.
12) Very thoroughly hand washed the car and then hand waxed and buffed the car (with Turtle Wax)
13) Installed new pre-owned but very good quality OEM cloth seats (which have no rips).
14) Installed new aftermarket floor-mats
15) Installed a new steering tie-rod end. (The front end is now very tight, with very little vibration. and the car drives very straight!!!)
16) Installed a new rubber brake pedal cover
17) Replaced the worn out particle board underneath the trunk liner with a sheet of 3/16" thick plywood cut to the correct size (30" x 32").
18) Cleaned the front and top of the engine with an aerosol spray can of engine cleaner
19) Spray painted black the metal windshield wiper arms and the trim strip behind the rear window. The rear trim was masked off and the wiper arms were removed during the painting.
20) Installed new license plate bolts for both front and rear plates
Previous maintenance:
Four years ago: installed a new starter, new fuel filter, new Bosch platinum 2+ spark-plugs, new air filter
Two years ago: installed a new battery, installed a new muffler (still in good condition), replaced the connecting rod between windshield wiper motor and windshield wipers (due to a worn plastic ball joint), replaced the plastic pad on the brake pedal arm that presses against the brake-light switch. Replaced front brake-pads. Replaced the hood with a NEW hood (before repainting the car) because of a dent in it. Installed very good quality Michelin bendable windshield wipers.
One year ago: Installed a pre-owned (but good condition) driver's side headlight/turn signal assembly
The four matching tires are very high quality Kumho Solus KR21 tires. Their ratings are:
Treadwear 640, Traction A, Temperature B
The car easily passed the last year's Ohio emission testing, indicating that the motor is not excessively worn and the catatalytic converter is in good working condition.
The emission levels were:
HC=9.6 ppm, (Ohio maximum limit=147.0 ppm)
CO=.19%, (Ohio maximum limit=.82%)
NO=40.6 ppm (Ohio maximum limit=1072.0 ppm)
evap press=28.20 (Ohio minimum limit=6.0)
The car includes an installed trailer hitch (and a trailer taillight wiring connector/adapter)which I used to tow a small u-haul trailer (4"x7") a few times. It can be handy to have or it can be removed if not wanted or needed since it is bolted on and not welded. The drives's side door panel has three 1/2 inch long cracks in the vinyl and one other worn spot in the vinyl. There is a one inch long tear in the rubber moulding at the top of the passenger side window. The car body has a few (hard to see) minor dings on the right rear quarter panel near the antenna. Since the paint is now two years old, it has several/many minor paint chips, scratches, and blemishes. The four wheel disk brakes are in very good condition, and all of the tires are in like-new condition. Both doors open and close very easily, (tightly and in nearly perfect alignment) using either the outside or inside door latches. The car's oil was regularly changed by me during my ownership of the car at about every 9000 miles with synthetic oil (which is a normal interval for synthetic oil) and a new oil filter was installed each time.

We may mention Honda around here mostly for its cars, but the Japanese industrial giant makes a whole lot more than that. The company builds motorcycles, ATVs, marine engines, power equipment and - soon enough - jet airplanes.
Honda has been working on its first private jet since before 2006, and after a good eight years or so of prototype testing, began building its first production version a bit over a year ago. And now it's almost ready for delivery.
The first production HondaJet is nearing completion and has had its GE Honda HF120 jet engines installed, after which it will conduct initial ground tests before taking its first flight this summer. The jet is painted in a new shade of pearl green with a gold stripe, added to the color catalog alongside the silver, red, yellow and blue options.

Plenty of automakers have backgrounds in aircraft manufacturing. BMW, Bristol, Mitsubishi, Saab and Spyker all started out in the airplane business. But Honda is going the opposite direction, expanding its automotive (not to mention motorcycle, ATV, marine engine and power equipment) business with the launch of the HondaJet. And that project has just taken a big step forward.
After starting production a year and a half ago, the Japanese industrial giant recently completed its first customer HondaJet, and has now taken that initial production aircraft to the skies for its landmark first flight. The aircraft left the production facility in Greensboro and took off on Friday morning from Piedmont Triad International Airport in North Carolina - the same state where the Wright Brothers undertook their first flight over a century ago.
The HondaJet undertook an 84-minute test flight, climbing to 15,500 feet and reaching a speed of 348 knots. That works out to 400 miles per hour - assuredly faster than any Honda (save for maybe a prototype for the same aircraft) has traveled before. The aircraft is designed to cruise at a maximum of 420 knots (483 mph) and reach a maximum altitude of 43,000 feet.

Honda has announced that it has made an initial investment of $470 million to build a brand new transmission plant in Ceyala, Mexico. For those keeping track, this is the same city that will also house Honda's new automobile manufacturing facility, which will begin production of the Fit compact beginning in the spring of 2014.
This new transmission plant is expected to come online in the second half of 2015, with an annual production capacity of 350,000 units, though that number is expected to double in the years following the plant's opening. With a 700,000-unit production capacity, Honda says a full 1,500 new associates will be hired at the Mexican plant.
Honda will specifically use this new transmission plant for the production of CVTs for automobiles built in Mexico, as well as for cars produced in facilities around the world. It stands to reason, then, that since the next-generation Honda Fit will be built right around the corner from these new CVTs, the small hatchback - which is expected to grow into a full family of vehicles - could be fitted with continuously variable units in the future.
