Thinking of getting a DelSol
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...
Later, QD.
FOR MORE INFO, CLICK THE PIC!!!
Why Later???
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.

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.
Thanks guys +1

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.

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

That is the main reason I want one the targa top is cool!

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

AGREED .... but where im at u see more integra's and civics ( not del sol ) that are riced out ... theres only like 6or 7 sols in augusta and almost all of them are drove by 60+ old ladies .but mine is stock exterior excluding the lip .... jus the way i like it ..... and the way its gonna stay !

Ok guys thanks for the imput Im picking mine up tomorrow.

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 ----> MEMBER DEL SOL PICS THREAD!
I have one for sale!

birdman.. i have had my sol for almost a year now, and when i bought it, i had big plans for it. a couple months ago, i put those plans into action, and things are coming along great for the sol. i love mine and love to see other owners that can keep em clean.
I had a del sol back in high school (99-00) and still have front and rear strut tower braces, a brushed aluminum gauge bezel, and an unpainted mid height spoiler with brake light that anyone is welcome to. 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).
New car:
95 S14 with RB25DET (stock boost)
Old car:
Turbo S2000 400hp/285tq on 9:1 comp & 11psi
+1 everybody I feel the love IA. Thanks for the help. I will post pics as soon as I can.

^It looks like Brandons lol.
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!
yeah i've heard the same thing... i know the doors are heavy as a mofo! haha so that may be why... i think the del sol's are like 300lbs heavier than the hatchback eg but thats the only stat. i know
and
yeah it does... except i think he's got some 1 piece black housing lights and a "white trash" sticker?? haha^It looks like Brandons lol.
i found me a del sol parts hook up but it aint cheap . but got the rare foglights n **** still in production .... hehehe .

according to edmunds...
eg2 = 2301
