Blackmagic Posted November 19, 2008 Share Posted November 19, 2008 Hello all i just joined today. i bought a sol with 79k miles (still got to check with mva) on it for 1400$ this past Monday. Car came with an intake, full exhaust, headers and adjustable shocks. Also a badly mounted mugen body kit...with tapped lights. power steering was taken out...and the heater doesn't work . all the carpeting was stripped and the car needs a paint job. my plan is to restore this car and hopefully with all your help i will. Thanks! P.S. many pics to come. hey guys my car pics are up. check the flowing link. http://picasaweb.google.com/Leliveld.Emeni/CarPics# Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orca89 Posted November 19, 2008 Share Posted November 19, 2008 Welcome to HF, sounds like you got yourself a bit of a fixer-upper, but that's never a bad thing. Solers are taking over HF, haha. I take it you've been looking through the forum a bit, since you already know about the requirement for pics. ASAP would be good, before Pearce or Hatch get online Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

airjordan223 Posted November 19, 2008 Share Posted November 19, 2008 welcome man, some pretty low miles so thats good. the rest doesnt sound too hard to fix. post up some pics when you can Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mitchness Posted November 19, 2008 Share Posted November 19, 2008 Definitely low miles. What year is it? If you can get ahold of some stock carpet (there's a guy on SolSociety that still has one of two for sale) it isn't too hard to install. Just a PITA to take all the seats and trim out. I'll say it w/o even seeing it: Definitely get rid of the body kit! The stock look of the Sol is what makes it so sexy (except for the stock height). Get some pics up for sure... and welcome.

jerrodh Posted November 20, 2008 Share Posted November 20, 2008 It's a "header" not headers, and looks like thats the stock exhaust not a header anyway. But sounds like a pretty nice find, 5SPD right? Welcome to HF! GL with build! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tallhamer88 Posted November 20, 2008 Share Posted November 20, 2008 finally looked at your car. you no that front bumper takes alot of modification to fit over crash bar. if u dont have your crash bar there and you wanna keep that bumper i would mod it and get a crash bar or go oem. crash bar is a must.

Hondahunter Posted November 20, 2008 Share Posted November 20, 2008 definitely a stock exhaust manifold, not a header. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blackmagic Posted November 20, 2008 Author Share Posted November 20, 2008 mpearce1974 i will add my aim to my profile. Jordan and hunter when i said restore i meant to stock. I do plan on doing some Engine mods that would be in the far future. right now i want to get the car back to stock. i also like this front lip. color i am going to go black. nothing is set in stone just one little step at a time. http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y234/Cytrik/redo26.jpg interior pics coming up tomorrow.

Orca89 Posted November 20, 2008 Share Posted November 20, 2008 Type R lip, My new front bumper actually had one on it before the PO sold it to me... As well as a billion other nice extras that got switched with crap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wannaBstuntin Posted November 20, 2008 Share Posted November 20, 2008 Welcome dude. Doesn't look too hard to fix up. I'm wondering what jackass ever said sols were rare.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mpearce1974 Posted November 20, 2008 Share Posted November 20, 2008 Welcome dude. Doesn't look too hard to fix up. I'm wondering what jackass ever said sols were rare.... 75,000 in 5 years in US production, makes them fairly rare in my book! Especially 96-97, where I think only 14,000 were made! When compared to Civics, Accords, CRX and Preludes I say fairly rare! Then take into account how many were S, SI, and V-tec models! Then also breakdown by the limited color variations! 1993 --- 25,748 1994 --- 21,075 1995 --- 14,021 1996 --- 8,489 1997 --- 5,603 -------------------- Total --- 74,936 USDM 1993 S: Milano Red, Frost White, Granda Black (Pearl), Captiva Blue (Pearl). USDM 1993 Si: Milano Red, Granda Black (Pearl), Samba Green (Pearl), Captiva Blue (Pearl). USDM 1994 VTEC: Milano Red, Granada Black (Pearl). USDM 1995 S: Milano Red, Granada Black (Pearl), Paradise Blue Green (Pearl). USDM 1995 Si: Milano Red, Frost White, Granada Black (Pearl), Paradise Blue Green (Pearl). USDM 1995 VTEC: Milano Red, Granada Black (Pearl), Isle Green (Pearl). USDM 1996 S: Milano Red, Frost White, Vouge Silver Metallic, Granada Black (Pearl). USDM 1996 Si: Milano Red, Frost White, Granada Black (Pearl), Cypress Green (Pearl). USDM 1996 VTEC: Milano Red, Granada Black (Pearl), Cypress Green (Pearl). So if say you have a 96 Cypress GFreen V-tec model, you are looking at maybe 600 if that that were made? Then also you must take into account the ungodly amount of these cars that have been wrecked, parted out, or just out right rotted away! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
