Thinking of getting a DelSol

[BirdmanSRT]

Whats up IA??? It's been a while since I asked for opinions but here I go. I a thinking about going and picking up a 93 DelSol Si and I wanted any opinion on the car. Myself I think the car is pretty cool but I still want to know what you guys think. Thanks Bird...

[quickdodge®]

Later, QD.

[BirdmanSRT]

Why Later???

[allmotoronly]

the delsol is like most other honda's. It has it's postive and negative attributes. Parts are dirt cheap, engine swapping is easy, and they are usually pretty reliable. On the other hand, honda's are probably the most modded car in north america. There are a few members here who drive delsol's.

[madwick]

i drive one, i like it. hopefully yours doesnt leak from the roof, you dont want to carry more than one other person, you understand that del sols dont have many parts easy to find, there are under 75k del sols made from 93-97. any other Q's ask me.

[BirdmanSRT]

Thanks guys +1

[madwick]

another cool thing about them is that the 92-95 civic 93-97 del sol and 94-01 integra suspension are the same in most cases like control arms and struts and springs and some subframes.

[khaxnguyen]

^ haha lol edit reason: Grammar << lol at both reasons, now! but yeah they're mostly interchangeable!

[AnthonyF]

I love the del sol mainly b/c of the targa top. i almost got on a long time ago. Just too small for me.

[IOnlyLookStock]

Holy Crap Man dont do it!!!

heh, j/k. I was about to trade my old Prelude for one. Cool little car.

[integraguy06]

the only problem is the only del sols are the only ones i really see, unfortunately, are the typical ricers, with like 5 colored body kits, and the fake spinners... if u do it right like the few they are tight cars

There are a few members here who drive delsol's. $200 for ONE fender is dirt cheap .. damn i need to work where your working ..... sometimes u get LUCKY finding cheap parts .. but by far are they cheap !!!!!!!!! .... :screwy:

I am the same way I like stock looking cars with a **** load of go!!!

[Mr. Clean]

yeah im pretty new to the del sol game... got mine about a month or so ago

i dumped quite a bit of money on it...engine parts are fairly easy to find. but the dealership is going to rape you. interior parts are always missing haha so you'll be at the dealership a lot to get that stuff unless you find a parts car. but most of the interior stuff is fairly reasonable, i mean it will fit perfect and have no blemishes so... w/e its just preference used vs. new.

the top will leak.

you'll have to get new weatherstripping and its expensive. so get a lot of old towels to keep around.

but i love mine and i will have it for a long time to come i hope. plus in the scheme of hondas they are fairly rare and when modded correctly they are super sexy and even more rare. the bulk of del sols you see will be stock.

but neway thats just a summary of what i think... i love them and they have a lot of potential so use your pallet wisely

and make sure you post up your pics when you get it ----> http://www.importatlanta.com/forums/showthread.php?t=156317

PM me if you are interested - I'll sell them for crazy cheap, and I mean crazy (If you show up to my door with 10 bucks the spoiler is yours for example).

[bigdare23]

Aren't delsols the heaviest out of the eg,ej,eh body style?!? If so, that would be the only negative besides not having a back seat.

Anyways, if you get it change the game up and throw a sec gen bumper on it!

[1SOL2NV]

according to edmunds...

eg2 = 2301
eg6 = 2094

so you must have had stuff in the trunk, you in it, and some heavy aftermarket wheels or something haha... idk... i trust edmunds, they have become an authority on this kind of stuff.

[JayL]

yeah, not bad, i need a new one too, but i can wait till i get everything else done

someone does not like going fast...

[1SOL2NV]

someone does not like going fast... Stop hating . (stock vs stock )the sol gets more headturners than a normal civic or hatch . :goodjob: yea it weighs alot ... but not everyone wants 6 second 1/4 miles in a street car ya know ? .... :blah: if i wanted to go fast id have a seperate car for track/strip only ...

[matthewAPM]

hey man. i drive a d16 honda. i know slow. but with the right suspension, this this will fly!

[1SOL2NV]

i have a d16 also ... and i know im slow cuz my car wieghs alot .. but i would say a respectable street car should run 12's or higher .. but not everyone is into "BALLS TO THE WALL " on the street .... but love it when track time comes ... but not with a N/a D16z6 in a heavy sol ... but i love my car and its a shame to see such a great car in (Some ) careless owners hands .

[1SOL2NV]

people around here call my car a miata for some odd reason pisses me off !!!:no:

[matthewAPM]

im right there with ya. who cares about how fast I can go on the street. As long as my little car is killing cars 5-10 times what mine cost...im happy

Hey man, my teammate drove a del sol at a enduro and LOVED it. its all in the suspension

[1SOL2NV]

dont get me wrong my buddy b17a1db2 has a really nice del sol .. i completely love his car .. has nice hp and nice torque for wut it is .... and tein suspension wit type r goodies is amazing ! .... but ill leave it at that .

[BirdmanSRT]

Bad News Guys!!! I did not get the sol I went to pick it up yesterday and something told me to do a carfax first and it came back salvaged title so I am back to the hunt for the new daily driver.
