Re:ATTN: del sol owners
 

Okay, well here goes my ramble. When I bought my sol I tested and drove 32 in southern ontario. First off, DO NOT buy a 93 or 94. (different locks, shitty seal, plus the glove box pops open under hard driving) They suck ass, don't question it just accept it. They suck.

95 is the only year your left with if you want the aux lights in the centre. I did because it looks like an sc300. 96 and 97 are the same as a 95 without the aux lights.

I bought the VTEC model because
1. Has 4 wheel discs (so does the Si)
2. Better suspension/handling, even has a strut tower bar
3. The fastest US honda released stock (except s2000)even has better times than the new SIR hatch.
4. Has a B series engine, not a shitty SOHC D
5. The seats are just great, I like them better than the jdm recaro's. Plus they got me through an 8 hour trip to NJ.
6. The shifter is nicer than other cars, even my 98 'lude

Other nice things...
-Not bad for large ppl, my dad can drive it just fine, he's 6'2"
-trunk is huge, bigger than the average sedan
-easy to pick up girls in (I know it's for your g/f but just a side note)
-drives great ie econ/handing/fun to drive factor
-targa top
-sliding rear window is different and kinda cool
-lots of room in the cabin for woofers if you rip out the cubby's behind the seats
-cover for your stereo deck

Gay things...
-considered a chick car(hate this one the most)
-guys who own crx's make fun of you(kinda fits in with the first, but hey that car got canned as well :))
-glovebox is really ------- small, like a civic
-cup holders might as well not be there, they are worthless as well
-if your g/f gets an auto which will most likely happen, honda autos are ----, like cheap rubber bands
-more chasis flex than I would want when the roof is off
-it's front wheel drive (I hate that :()
-the sun visors suck ----, and for your g/f have no mirrors
-really hard to have sex in, a little easier with the roof off but still hard

hope that helps you out

I have a 93 del sol si with a 15g turbo. It's actually for sale on ebay, look it up ;D The only thing i never liked about it was the fact it had a tendency to leak on the tops of the window. Other than that I love the car. It has every appeal to me. No car is perfect, but the sol is a lot more rare than a civic or integra. Kinda nice being the one that get's all the attention. Tell her to buy a sol, she will like it. Or even better, buy mine :)

hmmm?


Del Slo's are heavy :-X

Re:ATTN: del sol owners
 

i LOVED my del Sol!!!! it was sooo much fun to drive plus the targa top is a HUGE plus during the summer! they look really good with a lil work done to them too. the first thing i would recommend doing is lowering it since stock del Sol's look REALLY high off the ground.

hands down thou, i would def. recommend one to ur gf! i miss mine already!

Re:ATTN: del sol owners
 

Thats not his glove box...

Re:ATTN: del sol owners
 

I weighed my del sol at bandimere and also weighed a civic SI 99. the del sol was 100 LBS lighter. they by far are not the heaviest car. hell my 91 integra weighs 300 LBS heavier.

Re:ATTN: del sol owners
 

You wouldnt expect a small car to weigh so much though. I was shocked at how fat they are.

Re:ATTN: del sol owners
 

thats so they dont fold up with the roof off. they need a whole lot of extra support cause they are a tiny targa top. they still kick ass though. i really want one myself.
