After a brief discussion with a mod about whether or not to post this, I've decided in favor of it.

This is a video of the Del Sol's Trans Top in action. After searching for a previous post that would cover this, I couldn't find any, and if it needs to be posted anywhere, it should be on Honda-Tech. Also, I'm hoping that it may persuade people to think twice before trying to convert their Del Sol to it.

Anyway, the gear system looks fascinating, and frankly the mechanism is just too complicated... I can see why they fail, and why they never tried to bring it to the US. It's an odd system, but you have to give Honda credit for being unique. Regardless... here's a nifty bit of Honda technological advancement... Yikes!

Any input on how that thing is stored in the trunk?

 

its an odd system and has LOTS of room for failure, but its pretty bad *** imo..

 

thats hot. ive herd about this option for the del sol and i herd its so hard to instal. but i would love to have it on my del sol i hate having to stretch over to pop my top off. lol but nice find.

 

I have seen that video before there a many post on here I think in the hybrid forum whit people installing these into there del sols. It is a neat thing but way to much work IMO

 

thanks for that link... that's awesome.

 

looks pretty coo.....ive heard and seen pics of this but never seen a clip of it before...look good

 

When I saw that, I was thinking "Man, that doesn't look like something a Honda engineer came up with... it's too complicated to be practical or durable! It looks more like something out of a Mitsubishi designer's head."
