eddb185 Posted June 28, 2006 Share Posted June 28, 2006 I own a 93 Del Sol S totally stock 5 speed, interior is in mint condition, body is great except for rust on the skin of the one door. Engine taps a little but other then that runs great, clutch is smooth and goes into every gear cleanly. Should i trade it for a 89 Civic Hatch Si? The car has a b16 swap, full catback exhaust, intake, new axles, new timing belt etc... Comes with tokico shocks, gauges and pods, and a new ignition but none of them hooked up. It has brand new wheels and tires not sure what kind though. I drove it today everything seems good, the vtech cracks and goes into gears good. The only bad thing is the clutch makes that wiring noise and the shifter is REAL loose, not like its going to come off but it moves a lot even when you put it into gear. He said it just needs a pin somewhere that he only put a bolt and nut in. I dont know that much about cars so I was looking for some advice with this. I only payed 2 grand for my sol and he was selling his for 3, i know the person that was going to buy it. All help is appreciated!

SolLesHonda Posted June 28, 2006 Share Posted June 28, 2006 Vtec cracks? Yikes. I wouldn't. Sols look twenty times better and B16's aren't all that fast ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cranny Posted June 28, 2006 Share Posted June 28, 2006 all depends on how much you paid for your car? if not that much its worth it just for the drivetrain. if you paid half decent amount of money for the car its not worth the loss , as solles almost said , lol , B16 arent crazy fast but better than your engine , although your engine could demolish a B16 or any B series for that matter but will cost you money. its a tossup , up to you my man.

90IntegraC1 Posted June 29, 2006 Share Posted June 29, 2006 if the only problem you have with your sol is a little rust, you made the right decision. that civic is crapty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eddb185 Posted June 29, 2006 Author Share Posted June 29, 2006 Thank you, im still up for offers for my del sol. Its a 93 S bone stock. Interior is in mint condition not a mark on it. Exterior is in good condition but the rust on the skin of the one door. The original Targa top was blown off on the highway cause the owner didnt latch it down all the way so they got another one but its red. The motor and tranny were swapped to make it manual, it was originally automatic. The clutch is great and it shifts into every gear cleanly. The engine taps a little, the valves just need to be adjusted i think. Im located in Monroe, NY (the lower hudson valley) about an hour from the city. So let me hear some offers for it.
