Default Got a Del sol!!!!!!!!! (updated 2/2/12) added more pics

just recently bought a 93 del sol SI Automatic. Paid $500 from aunt had it for 4-5 years. has 179,569 miles on today. muffler was off so i put a aftermartket on it and sounds nice to me and not loud. Cant wait to start to modify this car and start to do some suspension mods too. Not new to hondas but is new for the vtec motors. plans for it as of now is header,exhaust, and CAI. well any input is appreciated. James

My sol was 4800 for a 97 VTEC with 58k miles! Unfortunately its a salvage title... But I'm having a great time modifying it and autocrossing it! Welcome and good luck with the sol! (I agree with Red, you should definitely make it a manual)

I bought my 93 si (200k on shell) with a b16 for 2500, very little rust but paint isn't great
And I feel like that was fair or even maybe small deal my way

Nice pickup to bad its an auto. I picked mine up for 175 but motor had thrown a rod and needed some work and it didnt have rust. Rust in cars in the PNW isnt to common though. Good luck on the project.
