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!

Five vehicles named Top Safety Pick+ including new Civic, MKZ

Fri, 08 Mar 2013

In an attempt to help push vehicle safety to a higher level, the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety created a stricter Top Safety Pick+ rating last year, which incorporates a brutal small overlap test and requires cars to get Good ratings in four out of the five categories (and no less than Acceptable in the fifth). Joining the list of the safest cars of 2013, the 2013 Volvo XC60, Lincoln MKZ, Honda Civic (sedan and coupe) and the 2014 Mazda6 have all received the coveted TSP+ rating.
The Mazda6 and Lincoln MKZ have both been completely redesigned, and both received Acceptable ratings in the small overlap test. The Honda Civic, coming off its emergency refresh for 2013, is the first small car to be subjected to the small overlap test, and IIHS says that one of the car's many upgrades includes a stiffer front structure allowing it to receive Good ratings in all categories. Similarly, the XC60 gets all Good ratings thanks to, according to IIHS, Volvo updating the airbag software allowing the side airbags to inflate during the small overlap test.
The 2014 Subaru Forester has not yet been subjected to the small overlap test, so it must make do with just a Top Safety Pick rating until the IIHS tests small utility vehicles, which is expected to happen later in the spring.

2016 Honda Civic Type R shows sometimes the grass really is greener [w/video]

Wed, Mar 4 2015

The newly unveiled Honda Civic Type R at the Geneva Motor Show seems like a cruel trick being played on North American hot hatch fans. Even if the European model's oblong shape and massive wing don't make for the pinnacle of automotive beauty, it's hard to question the vehicle's performance capability, especially after the 7:50.63 lap around the Nurburgring Nordschleife. The heart of the Civic Type R is a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder pumping out 306 horsepower and 295 pound-feet with a six-speed manual. The combination is reportedly good for a sprint to 62 miles per hour in 5.7 seconds and a top speed of 167 mph. Honda also fits the CTR with Brembo brakes and adaptive dampers, while a special suspension setup reportedly helps in the fight against torque steer. While the big wing catches the eye first, Honda adds to the aggressive look with a new rear diffuser, front splitter and deeper side skirts. Also, the vents behind the front wheels help air through the engine bay to keep things running cool. Inside, front occupants are hugged by sport seats with big bolsters to keep them in place. With the forthcoming NSX and return to Formula One, Honda appears on the very cusp of a performance renaissance, and the Civic Type R is just one more step in that direction. Thankfully, at least one rumor indicates its turbocharged engine might make it into the North American Civic at some point. Related Video:
