6 bolts. think they are 12 or 14MM. watch those two in the middle though, ****ers are completely round so you need vice grips for them.

Got my first Del Sol today!! I've had a few crx's but never a del sol till now. It won't let me upload pics but it's got a 95 H22. It's black with stock del sol si wheels I think.. they are the five spoke. Same as like a 94 gsr or something i think.. Full greddy exhaust 3 inch. with falken azenis tires.

i just installed my leds today

the light doesnt reach because the trip odemeter stick doesnt allow the light to reach the 120 mph area.

press the stick down while the lights are on and you'll see what i mean.

Fixed LED problem thanks to you guys, had to switch it anyways lol. But I had trouble today it was a freakin' bitch and I still haven't removed it. I tried unscrewing that middle screw below the CControl when removing the CC and it end up stripping I guess I won't be having LED's on my CC anymore, freakin' wack but I am installing my Maplights tomorrow. Hopefully no problems!

Hey all quick question,

So I recently acquired a '95 Del Sol SI and i've noticed sometimes when shifting from 1st to 2nd at a higher rpm (6-7k) that even when i have the clutch fully depressed i'll still grind gears. The popular answer i've heard is that it's the synchros and it's because their old. Can anyone further explain this synchro issue or anything that can be done to help it. I've heard a short shifter can help resolve the issue.

Much thanks
Kanaboy

The reason it grinds is because the synchros on 1-2nd and 2nd-3rd get abused to hell in Honda trannies because of, like you said, driving like a pissed off 14 year old. You really should focus more on shifting those gears softer but quick, so work on the timing to get them in gear fast without losing the timing with your clutch foot.

To fix this problem, replace your synchros. Better yet, since you have a d-series just pick up a used Z6/Y8 tranny on the cheap
