Get one. Can pull 1g with suspension and any engine can be swapped in with good result's. It definetly has potential.

2 cons

they sell for way too much

AND

parts are not readily available...at least not for cheap

my buddy wanted a fender after getting hit...every junk yard he called laugh their heads off at him

he had to buy one for like $300 after market

Leaks at the window/targa parts, weather strip will cause window not to close properly when you close the door.

I have always liked it.

My budddy will be sellin his in the near future or in the spring....
This car is sweet fully built single cam turbo.
He babies this thing more than his girlfriend.
He just bought a bike and is gonna pick up a beater.

One of the cleaniest & meanist out there. I think he's letting it go for cheap!

Here is a sample for all the del sol haters including me!

Pretty sure he means little trunk space.

PRO- What other Honda can you do this to:

(Never posted a pic before so not sure if that will work, but incase it doesn,'t I'm talking about the Star Wars Del Sol)

I'd looove to get my hands on a del Sol. Nice, light two seater... a little swap and some boost...

Oh, and FYI, there's a guy in NY who has -I am NOT kidding- a K24 swap, and he boosted it, in his del Sol. Could you imagine...?
