Picked this up the other day. Body is in great shape and the paint's even nice too. Interior could use some cleaning (mainly the headliner) but all in all it's pretty nice. I have recently ran into an issue with 2nd gear popping out of place but for what I paid for the car, I don't care. It didn't do it when I test drove it, so I guess it's just my luck, but oh well, worst case scenario, I need a tranny. And I don't mind that. For now I just skip 2nd.

Anyways, onto the good stuff.










Plans for the car: (yes I'm keeping this one. I LIKE this one a lot lol)
-Fix both driver and passenger windows (infamous 6th gen huh? lol)
-Fix trunk leak (Silicone)
-Fix oil pan gasket leak
-Replace o2 sensor (already purchased new one)
-Si Grill
-Si Tails
-Black housing headlights with amber or clear corner, can't decide.
-Lip kit
-OEM fogs
-New AEM dry-flow air filter (old one's ran it's time)
-NGK V-Power plugs
-NGK blue plug wires
-Accel clear distributor cap and rotor
-Paint Valve Cover
-5900k HID's.


and some here and there stuff that I'll throw up on here.

Only gave 2000 for the car so I'm not all too worried about the little stuff it needs.

Let me know what you think :D

Not bad for 2k...
I thought so :D

These usually go for around 3 in the same condition. I don't think this guy realized exactly what he had. He was asking 2300 :P But got him down to 2 because of the CEL for the o2 sensor, and the windows.

Lol right? I do miss some things about the del sol. The tight responsive steering (no power steering), the seats down low (bucket seats), and the removable top. Felt like a race car lol, but I do love the way this one looks and drives. The interior is much more roomy than my integra, civic, or del sol.

Valve cover was leaking a little bit so I went ahead and replaced that so while I had the valve cover off I went ahead and painted it.






Just gotta sand the letters down and then it should look good.

Did the same process as this one on my old 1995 civic. Hoping for similar results.
