Re: EG hood fit INSIDE coupe?

In most places that's illegal, but if you explain that you're driving to get a new hood the cop may cut you a break, so long as you don't give him any attitude. Worst case it shouldn't be a major...

Re: Horrible Rust, Repairing, is it worth it?

If you can find a clean shell, it'd be less work to just combine the two to create a new, rust-free car. Then get it rustproofed.

In my circles we call rust in those spots Honda cancer, because...

Re: Going to check out new Del Sol, Some Tips Please?

More than likely the seller is a moron and has an Si that he's calling a VTEC because "it's got VTEC, yo."

eBay is full of those idiots.

Re: distributor gave out?

Yeah those crank pulleys never go down without a fight.

I'm hoping you got lucky on the valves.

Re: 95 Civic Coupe WIRING!

If you have any melted wires, period, you must replace those wires. Not check to see if they're exposed. Replace them. Everything that's melted. New.

But really you should just get a new/used...

Re: distributor gave out?

All Honda engines I'm familiar with are interference designs. Which means that if a valve is open when the piston hits TDC it'll make contact.

If you turn over the engine and the valvetrain isn't...

Re: What's the best flywheel I should use

I used to work with a guy who also owned a Del Sol VTEC.

Though it's very hard to tell an Si from a VTEC though, so you might've seen more than a couple. The VTEC sticker on the trunk isn't...

Re: Where to look for a engine?

I would seriously consider a H2B swap before buying a used B series.

All depends on what you want to do I suppose.

Re: del Sol seat recommendations

Re: del Sol seat recommendations

Without the Del Sol seat pans you're going to find that most seats ride high. RSX & GSR seats fit fine as long as you swap seat pans, otherwise you'd be stuck with a high-riding seat.

Re: 95 sol ground up project!

If you don't mind me asking, what material did you use for the new trunk board? I'm assuming you just notched out stock fabric piece.

Glad to see you're taking the time to do things right instead...

Re: IACV Problem

I've heard of people soaking their IACVs when they're too lazy to disassemble them, but depending on what you're soaking it in the IACV can get damaged.

Re: The Del Sol Project

Only problem keeping Sols on OEM parts is Honda's stopped making about half the parts for it.
