buying a del sol

[RIVAL]

i was thinking of buying a del sol when i come back from my 5 month eurotrip and selling my eg and was just wondering if people with delsols could tell me abit about them like i seen somewhere that the roof comes off automatically or do you have to manually get out and take it off? and if youcan fit a sound system in the boot without taking up the spot where the roof goes?

and also would like to know what that little sqaure on the back does or is?


EDIT: ops didnt see the guys thread under me lol oh wells answer my questions anyways thnx

That square is a painted out euro fog light I believe.

only the JDM spec models have the automatic roof..
i'd recommend not getting them unless you're willing to fork out alot of money and time if anything goes wrong..

the non electric targa versions are lighter too

basically the AUDM models, you unclip the roof.. lift it off.. and set it in the spot made for the roof in the boot

and if youcan fit a sound system in the boot without taking up the spot where the roof goes?

yes you can.. but you have to be wary about the size of the sub box.. as you'll only have ~35cm in height to play with..

hence the reason why i purchased a 10inch sub.. although i've seen people with 12..

if it's under ~35cm, you'll have enough room to put the roof on top without hitting the box..

and also would like to know what that little sqaure on the back does or is?

as Vidospace has mentioned, it's the rear fog light (looks like it has been colourcoded or removed) only found on EURO ? or UK ? versions

that is correct young padiwan , rear foglights were only avaliable to the EDM del sols

awesome thnx for the help i will be looking to buy in october when i come back from europe.

oh yes also just say i had the top down and i parked at shop and wanted to put it back on would it be easy to do it by myself or do u need someone to help?

[z3lda]

its easi to do it by urself, the targa is quite light.

[RIVAL]

well that about sums it up im definetly getting one

[czy_sol87]

good decision mate

yep the targa top is quite easy to put back on

and it is easy to put a sub in the boot, i've got a JL 12" sub with the pre-made box, if u think about it the roof has a sort of curve in it, so that if u place the box in the middle, the roof can still go in no problems.
anyway the gen3 crxs have huge boots so i doubt u would have problems fitting a sub in them

lol ive been thinking about the space in the del sol where you sit does anyone feel abit chlostraphobic in it cos it doesnt look like there to much space to lounge around?

[czy_sol87]

it might just be me but i actually like the way that feels, cause theres not that much space to move around when doin hard cornering, a decent set of bucket seats and ur laughing
ie theres always something to lean against. my bros gen2 doesnt have that surounding or that "**** pit" feel, which is a bad thing cause u side around the seat and also have nothing to lean against

[z3lda]

make sure u get a 95+ delsol.

the pre 95 delsol got feral interior...

[IndoStyler]

i got a pre 95 model del sol...and the interior looks like in that pic
