Default Hi all!

First, sorry for my english, is not my native language and i'm learning it

I'm from Barcelona and a member of http://www.clubhondaspirit.com, a forum for spanish honda fans.

This august, me and my girlfriend will go to NYC for 20 days and i'm looking for shops were i can find parts, accesories and some stuff for my car (actually a CRX del Sol VTi -full stock B16a2- and looking for a EG6). Can you help me?

This web is amazing, i can find always answers for all of our questions, is like a bible for our Vtec machines! Congratulations! And i need to say it, you are far away from us, here in Spain is difficult to see the authentic JDM style and japanese cars lovers... is plenty of ricers with European machines overcoat TDI cars with a lot of fiberglass...

Someone who speak spanish? I don't know if you can understand me very well

Nice car dude. People would kill for that here. I want a B16 (lsd) so bad, mainly for the tranny. How much do you want to spend on parts?

I want to spend 300 more or less... i want to buy things difficult to find here in Spain where the japanese cars are a bit forgotten. Obviusly little things, i can't put a 4-1 header or a AEM V2 in my suitcase! lol

One question...

My little del Sol have A/C and the famous trans top, this model was sold here with both things, how is the USDM B16 del Sol? how is called? Our is VTi, i don't know why is not SiR if is the same car with same options...

Haha, then I have no idea what I would do with that money, maybe a nice short shifter and shift ****. Hmm..300 bucks would make alot of little parts.

as far as intake goes, its generally all the same, i would reccomend just a cheap one from ebay and then buy a K&N filter for it.

here in the states the USDM version came with the b16a3(basically the a2) and it was called Del Sol VTEC

Dude I really hope that when you say 300 more or less, that those are "EURO DOLLARS" so its double. Cuz or else expect to waste those 300 bucks just on gas for those 20 days.

Hey, nice sol!

I would look for oil cap, solenoid cover, radiator cap, pu suspension bushings, etcetera. Small parts which might come in handy later on (not all), depending on what are you're future plans. About the shops, good question! I'm visiting NYC too later on this year and i was seeking for the same answer.

From what i've read he's going to NY, not just to buy parts. So he'd probably not go to SoCal.

And i didn't know that b16 sol's are rare. Over here 1 out of 5/10 is a VTI/B16

My visit to NY is for holidays and for learn english living with a host family and going to school from monday to friday 4 hours per day.
If i want pieces i would go to CA, of course!

I was talking in USD not in Euro, i'm not rich, i need money for visit places an eat something those 20 days! lol

I'm looking for shift *****, and some accesories and details for the interiors, side markers, JDM stickers... i don't know what i want exactly, but things rare to see here!

In Europe, most of the Del Sol's are ESi (D16Z6 SOHC Vtec, 1.6 125hp), but there are a lot of VTi too. Are not rare to see them.

Thnx for the comments to my car! Only have 16inch OZ Wheels, Koni Suspension, and K&N OEM Filter...

Sorry 4 my english again...
