CRX vs Del Sol


demos

Recommended Posts

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.

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.

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

Ayy blackdelsol if you make a new Sol, I'll be your first buyer!!! :thumbsup: 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!!!!

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.

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...

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...
