the JDM LSD (which was probably optional in Del Slo's, but I'm not sure) was a mechanical helical limited slip (similar to the quaife).
Do what must be done.

I think it might have been button activated (not sure), but anyway, its function was to raise up and emit this little patch of light that was intended to assist in parking (darn blind people!) lol. But later versions of the Del Sol had this replaced with parking sensors. Not sure how that works though.
*Some JDM Del Sols had seat warmers.
*Back when they were first coming out, Honda offered an optional "Sport kit" for the EDM Del Sols, which was pretty much a subtle body kit. Also avaible were lowering springs and special alloy wheels, although I'm not sure if these 2 items were included in the package.
*In designing the interior, the gauge cluster was given its unique shape to mimic that of goggles, to emphasize freeliness and openness, such as like riding a motorcyle.
*EDM Del Sols have NVH (Noise and Vibration Harsness) sound insulation lining under the hood.
*In 1994, all Del Sols' A/C system was changed from R12 to R134A.

Geez why's everyone getting their panties in a wad over my notes? I posted them in the interests of readers. Yes, I know some of these things weren't offered on the USDM Del Sols, but I was just informing others who may not know about these things. Plus if someone wanted to do a search on what some other foreign Del Sols had, then this post would hopefully answer some of their questions.

Gotcha. Sorry about that people. Yeah I see what you're saying now. When I said "unique" it made it sound like it was exclusive only to the Del Sol. lol. But fortunately changes have been made to my original post with all the notes in them for clarification purposes. Also, any parts of the original notes I posted that were inaccurate have been corrected.
