Re: 97 del sol rear bumper removal

When I did mine I found that patience, lots of lighting and a bit of cursing helped. Plus I have a trailer hitch for some reason (previous owner) which was kind of in the way.

Re: Exhaust Manifolds? - D16y7

I've gone about 1,500 miles on it over a period of months with a crack. The worst part about it by far is are the fumes that get in and the horrid noises it makes at idle/reverse are a close second....

That is a possibility but I'm trying to go the cheapest route while still doing everything the right way. Plus I love my MPG's! I am challenged in my area for local parts availability (MI) but on the...

Re: Exhaust Manifolds? - D16y7

Yeah I figured I'd need the one with the cat since that's what is there now, didn't know if a partial replacement was possible or if everything would even match up properly. I suppose it's worth just...

Exhaust Manifolds? - D16y7

I'm looking to replace the exhaust manifold on my '97 Del Sol (hairline crack down the middle) and saw that Partsgeek has them way cheaper than everyone else:

Re: sedan handles on a del sol

Forgot my rear windshield was down once and when I came out of the store the change and couple dollar bills in the ashtray were gone but the ipod in the (unlocked) rear compartment was there.

Re: 1997 Del Sol Si - Engine / Cooling repairs

A shop offered to tap them both out for $120 which is a heck of a lot cheaper than what happens if I mess up. I -think- it's one shorty one long according to a while back when I looked it up. +1 for...

Re: *** Official What You did to your eg/ek today ***

Gave the Del Sol some fuel injection cleaner. I always feel like a sucker buying a little bottle of that stuff!

Re: 1997 Del Sol Si - Engine / Cooling repairs

Thermostat replacement solved the heating and gauge issues! Of course Autozone was as useless as always and gave the wrong part even with exactly the right car and engine information. Got a quote for...

Re: 1997 Del Sol Si - Engine / Cooling repairs

Yeah have an appointment tomorrow to get the thermostat replaced. After watching on Youtube how easy it is it pains me to have it done by someone else, but no tools on hand having just moved.

Re: Should I go to the dealer for an alignment?

Alignments are brutal, either you hand over your firstborn as payment at the dealership or it's at some shop and they rush through it. After hitting a pothole in the 'hood I've had moderate pull to...

Re: ek hatch fuel gauge needle wanders...

Mine wanders once it's under 1/4 tank. The last 1/3 of the tank or so features a rapidly dropping needle anyway, so I'm paranoid and fill up at 50%.

Sounds like you're stuck with the wrong one. At least you get some spare rings!

Court cost and/or lawyer is going to cost you more, not to mention the many frustrating hours that come with it.

Re: Del Sol Valve Cover gasket?

There were multiple engines offered with the Si so you have to be sure the gasket fits the one you have and not rely on sites when they say it's for "Si". Almost ordered the wrong one from my '97 Si...

Re: Is my heater core the problem?

Just be sure to order the heater core online, dealership prices are insane. My heat and temp gauge went out last week but there are no catastrophic leaks so it's probably the thermostat.
