Unless its from Japan or the UK, that car can't be a '92. USDM Del Sols begin in 1993. Just a heads-up.

Trying to source Del Sol parts isn't as easy as a Civic. If you enjoy working on cars, then this would be a good learning experience. The vibration is not normal, but that doesn't mean it is hard to fix, it could just be that the wheels are unbalanced.

Otherwise, I am tempted to say skip this and try to find a different car. Especially if you didn't even have your heart set on a Del Sol.

500 bux is cheap for a sol do it if you want a cheap project as long as it has a clear title all that stuff can be fixed especially the automatic and rice kit part lol

thanks for the reply, i found some stock front bumper for like 30 bucks and replacement headlights for pretty cheap as well, my question is do u think i can easily resell this car when i need to? also should i replace the steering wheel with an aftermarket one. The steering wheel is in horrible condition but iono if replacing it would effect resale value. thanks. This is a temporary car in which i intend on learning and reselling as soon as i can afford an upgrade

get it and whip it around allow you to drive to a job and you can save up for a CRX. sounds good ya? post pics of it

CIREf8

sounds aite... ill try to post pics asap(tomorrow) b/c everyone likes pics. my only fear is i wont be able to sell it lol. del sol = the gay

quicchatch253

it will sell man after you fix it up a lil make it look good you get like 3k for it or more. you could probably even trade the del sol for a CRX ahaha maybe get a lil cash on top too. look for a stocc CRX though its best to get a stocc car cuz you kno watchu doin to it

CIREf8

should i look into auto>manual swap or would that be a waste of time/money? also should i change the steering wheel? the stock one is all metal with only rubber on the bottom. im thinking about ebay aftermarket hub set. not sure if the ebay wheel will depreciate the value or prevent ppl from buying it due to safety

quicchatch253

if youre jus gonna sell it id keep it auto and replace the steering wheel with a new one (try to get OEM one) id jus convert it bacc to stocc and sell it and dont say anythin bout it havin a body kit and all that cuz people will kno its been abused

oem is pretty expensive. what about seats? i see some ebay seats that are way cheaper than the stock used ones. are 96 front bumpers basicly 93-95 but with the 2 inner holes filled in? (wondering if i can bondo that ****)

thumper64

What you're going to spend making that car manual and fixing everything, you could probably find a 92-95 model Civic, or just wait around and get a CRX. There aren't many, but if you check the classifieds here you might be able to find one. What region do you live in? Maybe someone here can help you out.

If you need an OEM wheel, check a junk yard or put up a want ad here. Some of us, including myself, have our old wheels lying around.

quicchatch253

where i live there are plenty of CRX's around haha and OP post a link of the seats. and i thought all the del sol front bumpers were the same?

CIREf8

car arrived today, yeah i will try to get pics in about a few hours. umm the bumpers from 96 on only had 2 head lights instead of 4 i think(the middle 2 bug eyes). The seats are torn as **** but they feel like the best seats i have ever sat on though lol

trustdestruction

you can find stock used del sol seats for cheap if you look on craigslist
the bumper with no aux lights is from 96-97

omfg im pissed... they said it was 150k but when they brought it over it was 200k :[ w/e i just need this car to last me 1-2years till college. have taken photos and am currently looking for the usb cable ill report back asap

esean93

hes probably not really giving u a deal.the car probably is worth 500 bucs.heads up ull find alot of hidden problems with the car.

CIREf8

possibly, but i think i can at least sell the wheels for 300 bucks :/

trustdestruction

you could part it out on solsociety and make money off of it, if it turns out that you don't want it

i want to see some pics

esean93

yeah thats true.id say part it out and scrap the stuff u cant sell and buy a crx but i dont think u should fix up the sol since u dont like it.

CIREf8

i thought if i de-riced it, i might be able to sell it for more. found front bumper for 30 bucks online 60 bucks shipping and 10 dollar head lights and i still need some other ****, but iono i think this might be an investment but it might not.
ok got pics on my comp, can sum1 link me to a "how to post pics" thread or guide me?
