Goodbye 6GC, Got a del Sol Si Options

[Phat_Boi]

Well I finally went out and bought myself a new car with the insurance money from my totalled Celica ($5000). After shopping around for a few days I found a really nice '95 del Sol Si with under 90,000 miles that was painted red. I got it for $3500 and now I have $1500 to spend on the car. I'll get some pics up in a few days after I get my camera back from my friend.

Only bad thing is that the car has a giant spoiler on the back but I'll have that off by the time I get the camera back.

See you guys, I enjoyed my time here and even though I didn't get another Celica, I still might lurk around here.

Oh yes, and I do plan on swapping the del Sol engine to a bigger one so that I can actually get a decently fast car.

alright.... to clear some misconceptions (i do this a lot on this board, lol)..

the del sol is one of the HEAVIEST smaller cars that honda makes.... i believe it's even heavier than the 3rd gen integras..... the del sol is NOT lighter than any of the civics.... why? it's small!! because of the removable hardtop -- the body needs more supports & bracing to withstand the stresses of daily driving for where it's lost in the detachable roof..... imagine trying to build a rollcage that was only 2 feet tall.... that would take a LOT of piping to do the same with a rollcage that extends to the roof

that being said.... the SI has the sohc vtec motor... not the best platform to start on, but a decent one... (forgot that the del sol vtec has the b16, not the si....)

not to knock the car... but it is kind of a chick car...... although i have fun driving my moms del sol (yes, she has a 95 si), i feel hella girly every time i get in it..... lol

and as far as handling... they handle like a honda.... and a 95 auto si isn't any faster than my 90 corolla with a 4a-fe was
