It is a DOHC b16a2 and it came stock in there so did the stickers.

wrong, del sol VTEC came with B16a3, and as for the sticker, he probably put that on there.

WRONG. In 1994 and 1995 the del Sols were the first honda marketed car to sport a DOHC VTEC motor, powered by the b16a3. In 1996 and 1997, as the OBD generation changed from OBDI to OBDII, the del Sol DOHC VTEC models got the B16a2 almost 3 years before the EM1 civic Si was released to the world. This car DOES have a B16a2, not a3.

And just to let you know, guys, among del Sol collectiing people like myself, a 97 DOHC VTEC in Cypress Green (aka this car) is IT as far as del Sols go. One of the rarest color/motor combinations, a lot of people say that the cypress green is the perfect color for the sol, and I tend to agree. The only del Sol that enjoys as much coveting as a 97 DOHC VTEC in cypress green is a 95 DOHC VTEC in Isle Green or Granada Black.

I've been on the phone all fucking morning about this car with my sol dorks.

But if you guys need to know anything at ALL about del Sols in general, shoot em my way, I'll be happy to answer them if the seller can't field them first.. While I don't know this particular Sol, I can definitely help out with general del Sol questions.

Oh yeah.. there is one more mod not mentioned... that lip up front is an EG civic lip... again, an extremely common mod for del Sols... we tend to like the way it makes the front bumper look.

Damn I fucking love this car

**HalfBaked** · 07-31-2006, 10:11 PM

Wow.

I'm not a honda guy, but if I had the money I'd buy that in a heartbeat.

Trade for my CA18ET s13?

**HeLLo iM iZzY** · 07-31-2006, 10:21 PM

i thought those were only in Si's??...damn..learn something new everyday..loll

I thought the same thing.

**accord2k** · 07-31-2006, 10:22 PM

No disrespect, but I don't think I can believe that ur sol has only hit VTEC 3 times even while you owned it. But hey that is the cleanest Del Sol I have ever seen, so bump.

No offense man, I didn't buy the car to go fast. I picked it up because it gets killer gas mileage and it can still get out of it's own way on the highway.

Three times may be exagerating.

**vjizzle** · 07-31-2006, 10:34 PM

not a big fan of sols but bro this one is super clean. best of luck to u man.

**an0therh22** · 07-31-2006, 10:38 PM

**The BUCKY** · 07-31-2006, 10:57 PM

wow. i really miss mine now.

**RHD-EG6** · 07-31-2006, 11:08 PM

Well worth it. NICE...

**Jecht** · 07-31-2006, 11:17 PM

Beautiful car, looks very clean.
Good luck with the sale, I imagine it will sell quickly.

**Black Mamba** · 07-31-2006, 11:16 PM

**Dragonfly5338** · 07-31-2006, 11:33 PM

**topsecret2JZ** · 08-01-2006, 01:15 AM

honestly man not to be an ass but it is indeed a del sol and will always be a del sol, so i am guessing you will not get anywhere near that price for it but good luck on the sale anyway, might wanna try carmax, lol

**4doortypels** · 08-01-2006, 03:27 AM

**GsrTurbo320** · 08-01-2006, 01:36 AM

1997...130K miles..& asking 7600?
non teh less pimpin del sol yo.
DOHC VTEC A B S FTW NIGGAH!

**SixSquared** · 08-01-2006, 03:14 AM

On the contrary, guys, my friend James sold his 97 DOHC VTEC in similiar condition with a few more mods (intake, aftermarket strut, header, exhaust, electrical upgrades) for $11,500 last summer. Hate to say it, but del Sols are at a premium among people who want them. ESPECIALLY ones this clean.

Seller dude man.. PM me and I'll help you get that thing sold to someone who will take care of it. I actually have someone in mind right now.... he just bought a third del Sol so I dunno if he's in the market, but I'm sure between the three of us (you, me, and him), we can come up with someone.

bump for a CLEAN del Sol... and that's coming from someone who has owned these cars for 6 years.

**SixSquared** · 08-01-2006, 03:16 AM

PS.. the DOHC VTEC stickers on the sides are NOT stock. The only stock DOHC VTEC badge that came with the del Sol was the one on the rear, and that was only there from 95-97. However, the side stickers (which are off a 99-01 Si) are a common enough mod.

**topsecret2JZ** · 08-01-2006, 08:51 AM

i also wanted to know how exactly you know and managed to only hit vtech three times if that since you got the car? And with that question in mind how long did you own the car?

Well he probably did only hit vtech 3 times... maybe he hit VTEC a few more times, though...

**brads94accord** · 08-01-2006, 11:32 AM

it has a B16A2 in it i'm pretty sure...i looked at the block code the other day...it was kinda dirty...could have been a 3 but im almost positive it is a b16a2

**IntegraXTR** · 08-01-2006, 11:35 AM

I'm almost positive that the b16a2 came in the 99-00 EM1, the b16a3 was the del sol VTEC.

**HalfBaked** · 08-01-2006, 12:31 PM

I looked at the block code 2 days ago, it says b16a2.

**forcefedish** · 08-01-2006, 12:36 PM
