1995 Honda Del Sol VTEC model. very excellent original condition Honda with verifiable 47K miles. What I mean by verifiable is a complete set of service records from the original owner showing religious oil change service (at Larry Hopkins Honda in Sunnyvale) for the entire life of the car. mileage is noted along with the date serviced.
Selling only due to out of state relocation - can't take all of the cars!
This Honda has the much sought after B16A3 DOHC VTEC engine that produces 160HP...and has the highest redline of all DelSol Honda (8250 rpm). This is a premium fuel car that has averaged about 31-32 MPG on the freeway for me.
What I have done:
*Bought the JDM visor set and installed. This means that the visors actually work to the side vs. the US DOT versions (originals included).
*Bought the Honda Factory brake pads and did the front only because of the mileage. Surprised to find that the fronts had 75% pad left...never changed the rear...both new and used included.
*Paid Honda (Steve Hopkins of Fairfield - yes - related to Larry) to do a valve lash adjustment, replace the thermostat, cooling system service and to replace the timing belt. None of that really needed doing (belt was like new - but was recommended for a 18 year old car) - drive belts are still original and like new.
*Because of a speaker rattle, had new coaxial stock replacement speakers installed at all points - nothing special in the sense of massive amps, etc. - just to clean up the sound.
This really is a see to believe car and can say that there is absolutely nothing mechanically wrong. Listed small flaws in the paint above - but will say this is pretty close to mint for the original paint. Garaged most of the time - rubber trim is really like new - removable top does not leak whatsoever. No wrinkling at the door panels. Pretty mint original floor mats (I think they call them rainbows lol). I will include the original Monroe window sticker to prove the origin as rust-free California. I believe the buy it now price, though above KBB is perfectly reasonable for this rare top model DOHN VTEC Del Sol - It represents Honda at its finest and is a wonderful car for the price
will take any additional photos - tried to show all
I reserve the right to end the listing early as my neighbor has expressed the desire to purchase - but I have to cover all basis

Honda shows off Civic Tourer ahead of Frankfurt debut
Sun, 11 Aug 2013This is the new Honda Civic Tourer that will be appearing at the Frankfurt Motor Show next month and that will go on sale in Europe early next year. Created by Honda's European studio, it tweaks the lines and the glasswork of the five-door Civic to create a more muscular profile below the shoulder.
When it's time to haul, a lower load height allows access to a slightly higher floor, arranged so that it creates a flat surface when the rear seats are folded. Honda says the Civic Tourer offers class-leading interior space, the cargo area able to swallow 624 liters from the floor to the window line with the rear seats up, 1,668 liters with the rear seats down and items piled up to the roof. Extra storage can be had in below-floor spaces, and even the rear seat bolsters can flip up to make space for tall goods. An included tonneau cover hides valuables in the back and can be stored out of the way when not in use.
Under the hood will be either the Earth Dreams 1.6 i-DTEC diesel engine or the 1.8 i-VTEC petrol engine, working through a choice of manual or automatic transmissions. An adaptive damper system aims to provide handling to match the looks, with available comfort, normal and dynamic settings.
2015 Honda Civic Type R prototype
Mon, 02 Dec 2013With a name like Earth Dreams, you'd be forgiven for assuming that Honda's new family of turbocharged VTEC engines is more about environmental credentials than performance. And to a large degree they are - particularly in 1.0- and 1.5-liter forms. But the 2.0 is another beast altogether.
Thanks to a high-output turbocharger, direct injection, a high-performance cooling system and, of course, variable valve timing, Honda's new 2.0-liter four produces upwards of 280 horsepower while still complying with upcoming Euro 6 emissions standards. Although actual output has yet to be confirmed, that preliminary figure already compares favorably with the Ford Focus ST (252 hp) and Mazdaspeed3 (274 hp) and rests comfortably in between the Volkswagen GTI (270 hp) and Golf R (296 hp).
Although Honda has already shoehorned the smaller 1.5-liter turbo four and 1.0-liter turbo three-cylinder engines into an Acura ILX and another Civic hatchback, the home it gave the 2.0 betrays more than an engine swap. What you see here is essentially the next Civic Type R, following a long line of Honda hot hatches. With this latest model, the Japanese automaker is targeting the front-drive lap record at the Nürburgring that belongs to the Renaultsport Megane Trophy and before that, to the lightweight Megane R26.R. A tall order, to be sure, so we headed to Honda's R&D center in Tochigi, Japan, to take it out for a ride.
Honda gunning for world's longest Rose Parade float
Thu, 26 Dec 2013Honda has participated in the annual Rose Parade for the past 53 years and returns this year as the presenting sponsor for the fourth time running. But it's not satisfied merely putting its name on the event; Honda intends to lead from the front with what promises to be the longest float in the parade's long history.
The float, previewed in the rendering above, will measure 274 feet long, as tall as 30 feet high, as wide as 18 feet and weighing a whopping 50 tons with 8,980 flowers covering its surface. The train will be led by a locomotive designed to mimic the Acura NSX, with Asimo at the wheel. The second car in the train showcases a Honda engine, followed by a robotic arm, and, for the first time in the parade's history, a pair of 30-foot LED monitors displaying images of spectators lining the parade route. A caboose inspired by the Honda Jet will pick up the rear.
Oh, and in case you're wondering just who Honda will be knocking off the record books with its 274-foot train of roses, that would be... also Honda. The Japanese company set the record in 2005 with a 207-foot float. Scope out the details in the press release below and click the image above to view in high resolution.
