hey guys i just got my first del sol its a 95 white 5 sp. just wanted to know if there was any problems to look out for with these cars or common issues with them anything for me to look out for. never had one b4 so dont really know whats out there. any ideas on like apperance mods would be helpful. i waas just goin to slam it. its got some nice gold mugen wheels on it. looks good. im goin to post pics up soon once i get it on the road but any help or tips or ideas would be much appreciated. thanks guys..

 

the infamous targa leak and a pain to get parts for most of the time

 

take care of your weatherstripping. the 95 weatherstripping is a litte different and usually does not leak. put some silicone(or something) in your tophats(rear) . actually-between the shock and body of the car. water comes in right there often. also check your tailight rubber donuts. basically-get in the trunk with a flashlight and have a friend spray in each wheel well, and all over the back of the car.
other than the top and interior, you just bought a 92-95 civic.

 

The only problem i have ever had was alittle bit of leaking. its not that bad. mine only leaks in really heavy rain on just one part of the seal by the targa top. i have also found that my trunk leaks as well but only alittle bit.

as far as mods to do to it, definently put some suspension on it but i would keep the exterior mostly stock imo. i would keep it clean and simple

JDM del sol headlights are a very very nice touch if you can find them too. I also know that someone somewhere sells a targa top that is kinda like a moonroof.

 

leaking. ameripol top cracks sometimes. my buddy's back window motor burnt out.

 

Thanks for ypur imput guys. i kinda figured the top would leak a little. and as far as apperance im goin to drop it a little and just probably a new coat of white paint. thanks. ill post some pics up one of these days..

the targa leaks(if they're minor) can be fixed by rubbing dielectric grease really goos into all the seals
