Default Introducing my '95 Del Sol

Hi everybody,

My name is Ward, I'm from the Netherlands. Driving a ’95 CRX Del Sol ESi.
After months of searching, my quest for a decent Sol was complete, I bought this car in March 2007. I really enjoy driving the Sol, it’s a read head turner.

I had some red / clear rear light installed but they started to grow moss inside… I decided not to install any more after market parts. I want my car to have a clean look so I’m collecting original Honda parts.

Here are some specs and pictures:

Ride: Honda CRX Del Sol ESi ‘95

Exterior:
- Stickers removed
- Mirrors, door handels and skirts painted.

Lighting:
- OEM S2000 AP1 clear side markers
- OEM CRX Del Sol third brake light.

Interieur/ICE:
- JVC KD-G722 radio / cd / mp3 / USB
front : 13 cm Pioneer TS-E1376
rear : 17 cm Kenwood KFC-C1739ie
- DelSolClub floor mats

Engine:
- K&N replacement filter
- OEM Integra Type R DC2 oil cap

Undercarriage:
- AKR front upper strut bar
- OEM Integra Type R DC2 lower front strutbar
- OEM CRX Del Sol 15” rims with Pirelli P5000 Drago tyres

Ready to be fitted:
- OEM CRX Del Sol cup holders
- OEM CRX Del Sol VTi map lights
- OEM JDM CRX road flare
- OEM Civic VTi bumperlip
- OEM Integra Type R DC2 front upper strutbar

Future plans:
- Del Sol mud guards
- Civic EK4 rims
- Integra Type R (DC2) front and rear upper strut bars
- Lowering springs


My first picture!

Thanks guys!

@ instrument
Thanks for the support...
I know my car is in 4x4 mode, I'm working on it!

As far as I know the rims are stock, I'd like to replace them with some Civic EK4 or 16" Type R replica's.

Que? You mean the electric roof? Thats called an ESi / VTi-E here.

Its not a clear third brake light. My Sol wasn't equipped with one!
I think here in Europe it was an option.
