Yeah the picture doesn't work, you only linked part of the address. To answer your question, some places overseas call certain cars different names. You're link is a UK site, and if I'm not mistaken they call them CRX's. Same in Australia. Same car, different name.

Oh ok thanks. I dont know why but you have to copy the link and paste it. The quick link wont work. I was doing a little research on google images and I see what you mean some crx's are labled del sol and some del sols are labled crx.

The Del Sol took the place of the CRX thats why they are labeled like that some times. The Del Sol came out in 92.

Del sol in united states came out in 93 But in japan/Uk they came out in 92

The del sol is uk are considered a crx rather then a del sol.

Such as crx del sol is uk japan to where america it is the civic del sol

Some of the japan/uk sols also came with a transtop called the vti sol. Which had a automatic motor that you automatically take the top of the car for u rather then you doing it yourself.

Downfall of that it was super heavy and took up almost the whole trunk.

that is correct, all del sols have a targa top and rear power window, no matter the trim level.

USDM Civic del Sol = any other market CRX del Sol

all del sols have a targa top and rear power window.
some del sols (not in the US... well not at least that came with it stock) have a trans-top, which is an electrically operated targa top that works at the touch of a button

the si model came with rear wheel disk brakes. The base model and s model came with drums. That might also help you.

just to clarify, the S is the base model



additional info for the OP:
There's 3 models: S, Si, and VTEC

S and Si were in production 1993-1997
VTEC was 1994-1997

S has the D15B7 for 93-95, and the D16Y7 for 96-97
Si has the D16Z6 for 93-95, and the D16Y8 for 96-97
EDIT: VTEC has the B16A3 93-95, and the B16A2 for 96-97

S has front discs, rear drums
Si has discs all around
VTEC has discs all around, with 10.2" front brakes and ABS

Si and VTEC have cruise control, S does not.

They didn't come with power locks until 1995, and even then I think the only models with that were the Si and VTEC.

They also didn't have a trunk remote popper until 1995 (or maybe it was 96?)

93-94 have leaky roof side seals, and the seals were recalled and redesigned in 94 and the new ones were put on the 1995, and if you ever buy new seals from honda you automatically get the new version.

seat material was changed in 1996

the rear interior panels and the top of the door panel are grey for 1993-1995, and black for 1996-1997. I'm not sure if the A-pillars are different or not.

Aux lights were removed from the del Sol in 1996


Just some random info I know for you.

'96 - '97 Vtec models came with the B16A2, other than that all your engine related info is spot on.
