Del Sol - Tell me whats good about it... bias welcome

[mqt55s]

buy a sss, chuck your sr20 mods onto that. enjoy the torque. and come back to pga hehehe.
even tho i love my n15, sometimes i wish i opted for an ek4 instead.

awsome little car
the look of them dont make the car look dated like other similar aged cars

it is a bit of a pain to source parts, because there aren't as many aftermarket parts for it as say a civic

but u do get lots of looks, and some ppl thinkin its a $40k brand new car

ps jason show us some pics of ur car
where did u get this "carbon/fibre glass targa top" custom made? sounds interesting and what did u take out of the boot

my delsol = b18c engine + b16a box + 3.9kg flywheel = heaps more torque & very quick acceleration

^^^^^ as Zelda said
b16 is a pos... buy a cheaper sol and use the saved cash for a conversion!

^^^far out you guys are really scaring me into spending on the crx... i guess i'll have to see for myself next week... a member has kindly offered to take me for a spin.

i was scouring the net last nite for hours for info and i guess i just need 1 thing confirmed...

between the B16A and B18C, the only difference is the stroke right? both have 81mm bore? can i not use a B18 block or at least crank?

[philBo]

you'll get sick of the b16 pretty quick....

I got offered the chance to buy one for $8K-ish from a car yard they've just traded in.

1995 with with 140ks.

Half interested in buying it and drive it for the rest of this summer/autumn and leave the top off most of the time.

Are they easy to off load? I've got few other cars so being a 2 seat is fine with me.

But are they a lot harder to offload than say an EG VTi and DC2?

i would pay 8k for a 1995 delsol, the series 2 delsol with the updated all black interior trim.


b18c > b16a . difference is 20,000 NMs of torque

[tRipitaka]

or boost it.

i'm sure DLO01 can vouch for it

but is that price normal??? like i can go on any car sale site, find a nice one and offer $9-$11k??

[z3lda]

its hard to find a clean 95 model delsol.

the ones for cheap on carsalesa are the ugly pre 95 models.

[EG30]

when you guys say del sol, you mean the del sol jap import JDM version or does that include the AUM version as well?

does the AUM model change post 95? one I might be able to buy is a bog stock AUM model.
