Drop Shock Posted November 14, 2010 Share Posted November 14, 2010 After 2 weeks of searching and bargaining I finally got my del Sol last night It's a 94 del Sol Si with 135,XXX miles on it Stock except for 17" rims, after market flood lights and a cold air intake the paint is primer and I want to paint it a lighter blue than the STI's with white rims kind of a project car. Only $2k I dont have too many pic's and the ones I have are all from my crappy phone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drop Shock Posted November 16, 2010 Author Share Posted November 16, 2010 so I brought it to my friends shop and found that it was leaking oil and the axel boot was blown up. I also discovered that it has been lowered with DropZone Lowering springs 2.5 font 2.25 rear. any one know anything about DZ Sport Lowering Springs? heres a nice pick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
airjordan223 Posted November 16, 2010 Share Posted November 16, 2010 i've actually heard pretty good reviews on them. if the stock shocks are still on there, you should probably swap them out before they go boom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zerotallrnc4bs808 Posted November 17, 2010 Share Posted November 17, 2010 And that, ladies and gentlemen, is the proper way to introduce yourself into a forum. Nice job. Have fun and good luck. Not bad for $2K. Your rims, tires, intake and coil overs are worth that alone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
airjordan223 Posted November 17, 2010 Share Posted November 17, 2010 Well I mean you can run stock shocks on aftermarket lowering springs but quit being a cheap ass and buy some good ones Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drop Shock Posted November 20, 2010 Author Share Posted November 20, 2010 anyone know if hearing a liquid splash back and forth behind my seats when making sharp turns is a problem lol i've heard of del sol's leaking but i havent read anything about the car filling with water. its been raining pretty hard lately here in NJ so this is could possibly be the reason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrIaN EG2 Posted November 20, 2010 Share Posted November 20, 2010 ive never heard of that bad of a leaking problem.. mine leaks a little bit on the windows from bad seals on the targa.. is the water in your bins? maybe there is a waterbottle stuck under your seat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zerotallrnc4bs808 Posted November 20, 2010 Share Posted November 20, 2010 Yes, that is a problem. Fixing it ain't too hard though. What is happening is that water goes down in to where the back window goes down in to, and in this bit there are one or two drains... these drains on your car are filled up with sh*t, so the water is just filling up (so you can hear it sloshing around). To fix it, remove the rear bins (including the top panels by the speakers, might have to take off the seatbelts too (easy enough), then undo and take out the entire rear panel (the rear window is fixed on to this). It'll take a bit of pulling to get it off, but it will come, you'll probs need someone to help you with this bit. Take out the window panel, you'll see the water in there and the drains, clean these out thoroughly (run some water down them, and see if it comes out the bottom of the car), then put new sealant on the panel you took off, and install everything back on. Check this topic on delsolownersclub.co.uk for pics n more details: http://www.delsolown...hp?f=48&t=11050 Good luck! Nice Seb. I live in the rainiest place on the planet so as much as I hope that ISN'T useful info for me, it might be at some point. Good lookin' out.
