Alright lads,
Well I am a big del sol fan, they are my favourite honda and have had 2 before but none quite as mint as the one I just bought. I wasn't really on the lookout for a del sol and was content with my b18 civic but I saw this crx on gumtree and fell in love. Went up to view it the next day, couldn't believe my eyes at how clean it was and fell further in love with it and then decided I had to get it no matter what so I sold the civic and got it
Anyways it's a 1996 white SiR which is rare in itself and comes with a few of the jdm extras like dual door map lights, door tweeters, raybrig front fogs, facelift front bumper, the full black interior and working transtop it also has an s21 which when i asked my mechanic he said this car could be like an SiR-S and come with LSD, but I am yet to see if it actually has, I'm not the type that likes to wheel spin but may have to to find out.
It's the cleanest del sol I've ever come across, was only imported 3 years ago and is rust free, floor pan, sills, arches and engine bay are like new
Chris the previous owner has kept it in amazing condition and has basically kept the car standard. The only things he has done in the way of modifications are:
- 16" bronze Buddyclub alloys (paint code is fiat marron vulcanico 750F and is great match to the volks)
- Tenzo R 40mm lowering springs
The rest of the car is standard and I intend to keep it that way. I want to try and keep this car original and as if it has just come out of the factory so I am keeping the engine standard and only have small adjustments to make it the way I want it. I have a black SiR with no engine and was thinking going k20 with it so it can be the one to modify and mess round with lol. My plans for the white del sol are:
- Fit the SiR and CRX Del Sol rear decals (already ordered from honda)
- fit the DOHC VTEC side decals
- fit the front SIR lip from an eg
- fit jap front plate
- paint calipers back to black or silver again
- clean up the engine bay
- may fit my Mugen RnR wheels with a thicker profile tyre as not sure if 16s look just a tad to big
- may powdercoat and rebush arms at some stage just so its super mint underneath
That's all for the moment, hope you enjoy the photos
