Default sold the del sol :(

well i sold the del sol a couple months back and just picked up this 97 dx all stock. so i have been slow modding the car. I just got the wheels n tires and the roof rack on. i needed something with more room bc the del sol was way to cramped!! the pics are from my cell phone so there not the best.

it would be hard for me to go from a smaller lighter car to a bigger one, but I guess the difference isnt that great. I know when I first rode in my GF's GSR I was like, well, my car sucks. lol

Depending on what model/year your Sol is, and given the fact that your new car is a DX, there is a chance that the del Sol actually weighs MORE. haha. Assuming you have a 95 VTEC (just a guess, you probably have an Si), that's 2500 pounds. The 97 DX coupe is 2300. Check it out.

The del Sol is a great car, very fun to drive with (IMO) an awesome interior, but they handle like crap and they are porky. Your new car is gonna have more space, handle better, and with a swap, it'll be faster too.

Pick up a rear sway bar, you'll be amazed at how much better the coupe handles than the EG2
