Default Need help with buying a delsol...

Currently i am looking at two differnt del sols one turbocharged and one not.

The first car is 1.8L DOHC VTEC GSR B18C1 swap from Password JDM. NO Check Engine Lights! 90k on the swap Hondata S200 ECU Type R Cams AEM TrueTime Cam Gears AEM intake B&M Short Shifter B&M Fuel Pressure Regulator and Gauge MSD ignition MSD External Blaster Coil MSD SuperConductor Spark Plug Wires (One Week Old) NGK Iridium Spark Plugs (One Week Old) DC Sports 4-1 Headers Magnaflow High Flow Cat (One Week Old) Skunk 2 Catback Exhaust Skunk 2 Coilovers DC Lower Rear Tie Bar. GSR Black Leather Seats from a 2000 Integra GSR (Very Clean) Momo Shift **** Pioneer CD Player Sony Xplode Speakers (All 4) Just replaced both rear calipers, pads, and rotors less than 3 weeks ago. Right now, I have Rota Slipstreams (Flat Black) on the car and lowered it 2 inches. I also still have the rims which are present in some of the pictures. Those are the ADR Black with a polished lip. Both sets have BRAND NEW tires with less than 300 miles on each set. It's your decision on which ones you want.

The second del sol is the turbo one. RS MOTOR WITH 80K
FULL TURBO KIT
FRONT MOUNT INTER COOLER
T3/T4 TURBO
RC 750 INJECTORS
GREEDY FULL EXHAUST SYTEM
WALBRO 255 FUEL PUMP
STAGE 3 CLUTCH
TYPE R INTAKE
SHORT THROW SHIFTER
FRONT LIP
SHUNK 2 SHIFT ****
RACE CAT
T-1 RACING COIL OVERS
DRAG 15" RIMS WITH NEW TIRES
GRS BRAKE SETUP
ALL NEW BUSHINGS FROM ENERGY SUSPENSION
BLACK HEAD LIGHTS
EXTRA GSR TRANNY THAT NEEDS NEW SEALS

I want to know which one i should pic. The red sol is alot better interior condition but i do want a turbo sol really bad. I think the red one might be in a little better condition also.

The green del sol comes with a black stock hood that will be on it. I dont have the paint or no anyone to paint it so i will be stuck with a black hood which sucks...

Get the red one, the green is a 93 which probably has roof leaks.

I dont have the money to build one.. I just have money to buy one. This was kinda a random thing. My mazdaspeed protege tranny died so i figured i would instead of putting money into fixing it would buy a car. The tranny wouldbe 4000 to replace so yah.

Buy a stock delsol and swap the engine yourself, you can pull it off with the 5k your planing to spend on someone elses car.

I wouldn't go for the green, it looks ghetto rigged and will probably give you problems.

You dont need all the little acessories that they post in their ads. So it'll fit your budget just fine.

i would get the red one personally it just seems like a cleaner set up with better parts

yeah the turbo would be cool but turbos open up doors to many problems

oh and a totally random fact, 93 del sols DONT have a passanger air bag and 94's do, also 93s dont have power mirrors
I know thats really random but just thought I would but what I know in

odd, my 93 has power mirrors...

no roof leaks, it did have roof rattle but i fixed it by adding washers on the mounting backets.

Not trying to hate on your options, but honestly buying modified cars is a hassle if something goes wrong. You dont know how they wired the car ect. things may also be rigged but you just wont know it.

I bought a delsol and everything seemed fine, turns out the nut on the rear knuckle that connects to the LCA is stripped. The bolt was stuck in and jb welded to keep it from coming out. Now i need to change out the rear knuckle or cut the old nut off and weld on a new one....

hey thanks for the help. Most likely i am getting the red one because he has all the paper work on the work on the car. So that helps out alot. I dont know anything to build my own del sol up. So i will be on alot asking questions. I really dont know **** about cars lol.
