blackdelsol Posted February 24, 2006 Share Posted February 24, 2006 Just wondering what you mean, "independent"? It was still based on the Civic chassis...many parts were still interchangeable. The Sol was still counted in Civic sales past 1994 and even Hondanews often refers to the car as the Civic del Sol up until it was discontinued. It was no longer classified as the honda civic del sol, just the honda del sol. that's all I meant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JDM_Hamster Posted February 24, 2006 Share Posted February 24, 2006 No i know that Del Sol's have good room but the Sol that i sat in was too cramped up b/c of the roll cage. hince my tall ass couldn't fit, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuddySol Posted February 25, 2006 Share Posted February 25, 2006 I wish that Del Sol's would have been offered as a factory option instead of a dealer option. Like if all the Vtec models had come standard with leather or something. You want some rare Sol stuff? Look across the pond and you have standard leather seats... Say hello to the Daytona Edition del Sol (in the top pic/bottom left) and the Motegi Edition del Sol (bottom right). Pretty much it's just a glorified Si, but I'd take a Motegi Sol anyday...it's a nice hue of blue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackdelsol Posted February 25, 2006 Share Posted February 25, 2006 wow. I don't really regret not having leather seats tho. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CleanGSR Posted February 25, 2006 Share Posted February 25, 2006 Yeah, I've seen those del sols before and they are very nice. Del Sol's were offered with leather as a dealer option in the states, but only a certain dealers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blackdelsol Posted February 26, 2006 Share Posted February 26, 2006 leather = slippery, heavy, expensive, and sticky in summer. But I'm sure you have a great reason to spend $1000+ for leather. J/k man, leather is nice. If you want it, go for it. it's not for me though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
airjordan223 Posted February 26, 2006 Share Posted February 26, 2006 i was going to do leather about a year ago, but i decided against it for the reasons you listed above, plus the interior gets dirty with the roof off and i didnt want to trash my seats. the cloth is fine, i actually like it better than leather, for a sol anyway. what i really want is to just get the stock seat covers with the red strip (like everyone else wants) because mine is grey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackdelsol Posted February 26, 2006 Share Posted February 26, 2006 Mine are all black. I like them fine since I have a black car. I do like the red stripe on the red car though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JDM_Hamster Posted February 27, 2006 Share Posted February 27, 2006 I would rather have either GSR leather seats, S2000 leather seats, so the 2003 Si Hatchback(EP3) Leather/Suede seats! all of those are really clean, but i do like that Daytona Del Sol, very nice!

redcoats1976 Posted March 11, 2006 Share Posted March 11, 2006 Ayy blackdelsol if you make a new Sol, I'll be your first buyer!!! but Honda really needs to make a new Del Sol with a K20A3 call it the Del Sol Type R like you said. I would buy one for sure... But Honda wouldnt need to make real big changes to the body because the Del Sol body is almost perfect! only a few things should be chaned and thats not on the outside mostly on the inside so taller people can fit in easier! but that would make the car longer so forget that just keep the looks the same just update the performance and I'll buy one!!! BRING THE DEL SOL BACK TO LIFE HONDA!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redcoats1976 Posted March 19, 2006 Share Posted March 19, 2006 im 6'2'',220# and i dont have any problem or comfort issues with my sol,though i have seen a few people do a double take when i get out.great cars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you would read up a little farther you would see why i couldnt fit... the Del Sol i was in had Roll Bars... just read up i dont feel like explaining it...

JDM_Hamster Posted March 23, 2006 Share Posted March 23, 2006 no I'm 6'5" but the one i sat in was a HUNTER's custom automotive car show and it had a roll cage and thats what i would want if i got a Del Sol... since the cage was in it there was no room, you couldnt move the seat back and also the seat was at a straight incline. i think that guy needed some Bride racing seats to make your butt sink in the seat so you would have a little more room... the stock Del Sol's have good leg room yes, but not one with a Roll cage in it... the only real problem was getting my legs under the steering wheel but after that it was fine,I had plenty of room! Here maybe this will better help you see why i couldnt fit... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
