Sweet! I was going to get a Del Sol when I was in high school. My dad didn't go for it though. [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-frown.gif[/IMG] Good luck with it dude. Power is nice and it weighs less too! [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif[/IMG]

im tryin to get my dad into this a little
something we can work on together besides cuttin grass
i think i impressed him when i installed my intake
and my car didn't blow up:)

SoNiCcIvIc 02-16-2002 10:57 AM

Damn, he got a del sol like that? I'd take one of those still if I had a garage (I think it's gonna be filled with Hondas and Acuras). Those are nice! See if you can get pics of it. What color is it? What is it about the del sol he likes so much? I just like it cuz it's the nicest looking lil' thing I've ever seen in a car. [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/IMG]

BlueMeanie 02-16-2002 03:10 PM

hey i just got done washing it...lol its silver, with black leather interior...its missing one airvent...but thats like the only thing wrong with it...the clutch had a squeak and wd40 cured it... its so damn nice...only payed 5800 for it! i dont have a scanner or digital camera, but im prolly gonna end up getting one soon,or if i dont ill just get my friend to scan the pics like he did with my civic...

i dont know why h e likes it so much, he loved it when it came out and he had a miata but he sold it b/c he wanted a delsol and could never find one....alright well im off to the bob dylan concert with mah girl...ill talk to yalls lata...lol [IMG]i/expressions/beer_yum.gif[/IMG][IMG]i/expressions/beer_yum.gif[/IMG]

Cole 02-16-2002 03:49 PM

ok here my opinion of why he likes it:
older guys are into older fast american cars right? well the del sol resembles the pontiac fiero, a faster rear wheel drive car, so in theory they would naturlly like the flat rear glass honda del sol which is a faster, unique car! just my opinion lol

NitehawkVTEC 02-16-2002 04:00 PM

Stock Fiero's aren't so quick are they? not without a swap or turbo.

UCLAFilmSchool 02-16-2002 05:11 PM

Wow, how did he cut it from 11,2 on the spot to only paying
5800 for it? That is some badass post-purchase haggling, hehe.
Or did he simply "make him an offer he couldn't refuse" with the
help of Lucabrazzi?

Cole 02-16-2002 07:40 PM

fieros were only like 130-50 hp but they were modded same w/ hondas so resemblance!

yeahdanny 02-16-2002 07:44 PM

Too bad that the Fiero was a Pontiac parts car... they pretty much said "hey, lets throw all these parts together and see what we get!" if i recall correctly, the early models had cooling problems and would literally CATCH ON FIRE!!! and its also a shame that honda replaced the CRX with a car like the del slo....

Matrix 02-16-2002 08:12 PM

Why did they stop production on the CRX? Was it not selling? I think they should bring it back.

PerfectD3 02-16-2002 08:12 PM

I wish my old man was even willing to peak under my hood, let alone buy an import!

UCLAFilmSchool 02-17-2002 06:03 AM

I'm getting a custom carwash. Does that add horsepower? Will my 1/4 mile
time drop significantly?

Thanks

They just might, but probably not over here as you can read. Type R baby!

Are you sure that your dad got a Del Sol Si? Because the Si is only a SOHC VTEC, pretty much a Civic EX. Now if your dad got the Del Sol VTEC, then you got a B16 with 160hp. So, which one did your dad get?

Blckcivic01 02-17-2002 02:11 PM

hmmmmmmmmm

BlueMeanie 02-17-2002 07:43 PM

Oh he got the one with 160hp...the reason at first i sed he payed 11,2 for it was there were 2 he was looking at....one was 11,2 with 34k miles on it and one was 5800 with 113k miles and he got the one with 113k miles...i thought he got the 11,2 one, he never told me about the second one...oh well we dont even have it anymore...he sold it today i was pissed...when i woke up it was gone and the was a check for 16000 on the table, so he sold it to a dude with lots of money that lives up the street...his daughter really wanted it and offered that for it, dad couldnt refuse, so hes got another car in the garage right now on loan from a dealer friend...its a 1997 bmw z3, so i hope he buys it...its like 18,990 i think. so it would only be about 3k more total(w/ 3.375 AL tax) so i dunno well see, i dont know if i like the BMW or the Del Sol better....i miss the del sol:cry:...[IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/IMG] you cant rice out a beemer...lol well any suggestions will help!
