This might seem lame to you guys but i have a question of whether or not i should trade my 94 Civic DX with 118,000 on it for a Del Sol with about 230,000 on it.and could my intake be used on the Del Sol(its an AEM V2).

 

why do you want to trade it ? Do you want the Del Sol more than the Civic, if so, trade it. The intake might work, most Honda aftermarket parts are interchangeable, best bet is to try to put it on the Del Sol to see fitment, it takes less than 5 minutes to change it out. Good luck!

 

What trim level is the sol?

S, Si, or VTEC?

 

the intake will fit no problems

 

Well yeah I want the Del Sol but didn't know if it was worth trading my civic for.The reason I'm trading though is because I don't have the money to buy it.

 

Not sure on the trim level any distinctive features I should look for to tell the difference.

I agree del sol are awsome cars

 

people forgot some important stuff like check the trunk for water leakes also check the window seals for leaking. the sols are well known for leaking like a **** including mine

Amen to that but they are relatively easy to fix.

 

remember... del sol has 230k on it... thats a lot... so u might be needing a motor really soon... then again if its taken care of it can last up to 300k like my bros 84 rex

 

Yeah i heard the leaking problems are rare and simple to fix by getting new seals

by chance do you have an idea how much those seals are... your looking at 500+ for new seals. if i was aware of the leaking problem b4 i got my car i'd never have got it because of the inconvenience. also sols before 95 also didnt have trunk release so theres another feature you might be interested in.

You know my new seals were only 120ish.

silicone is &lt;$10 and works great for me, although you have to redo it every 6 months or so. door handles commonly break too. I hope you have money for a new engine soon, 200K + means it's probably not too heathly. Also, the v2 will fit if its the same motor. I don't think it'll line up with the b, but a hacksaw could probably fix that. Also remember that your dx is lighter, so the sol will be slower.

 

Depending on the trim level of the Sol , i'd go w/ it ... I've always been a fun of Sol's tho (so i'm a little biased , but i am a civic owner )

 

i got 233,000 on my cx hatch stock 1.5 motor.. i beat on it everyday harshly. got the b-series waiting 4 it. that del sol is proably fine. i would take a del sol over a hatch. the value of them r higher. and theres nothing like pickn up chicks with the top off in a jdm *** car.

I don't see what about it is JDM, unless this particular car is. Either way, girls do have some unexplained attraction to del sols. I've never understood it, but it's a very real thing.

 

Well thanx for all the info guys no its not JDM though and my DX is just the coupe not a hatch though.

 

thats alot of mileage on the del sol but it all depends on you and what you really want..

 

ive personally picked up 2 chicks in a delsol. only 2 seats so they sat in our laps while we drove until we reached our nearest destination (jersey shore)

 

Really well thats a push in the right direction.Oh another thing i wondered was whether or not you get alot of wind noise like in a convertible.Also I'd probably do a engine swap within a few months so I don't think the mileage is a problem.

 

Its not that bad in my sol.....wind noise, that is.

 

bump 2 get the sol, especially in the "summertime in the LBC" hahaha
