1.) Random targa top noises (going to be addressed soon using a kit listed in a technical service bulletin issued by Honda about the noisy roof.)
2.) The passenger seat makes a rapid knocking sound when driving over big bumps in the road. It'll make the exact same noise if I firmly (but not very hard) punch the headrest. Someone mentioned taking out the headrest and wrapping some tape around the 2 metal rod thingys connected to it, then putting it back in. The tape, he said, would cushion the rods. So I guess it must be those 2 metal rods that make the noise. (?)
3.) Passenger side door can't be unlocked on the outside with a key. (Will be replacing entire passenger side door handle soon.)
4.) No factory-installed remote trunk release, no passenger side airbag, no ABS, no low fuel light, and no rear sway bar. (Going to install factory remote trunk release in the very near future. As for low fuel light, I will also eventually get to that, as well as add a rear swaybar. I might even eventually put in the passenger side airbag and ABS.)
5.) Aluminum shift forks. (Gonna be replaced when I get a 95 B16A3 engine swap.)
6.) Bent/broken power antennae.
7.) No factory-installed power door locks (Going to install these sometime in the future.)
8.) R-12 refrigerant. (Not a big deal, but not as easy to find stuff to recharge it with.)
9.) Rubber molding that surrounds both front headlights is coming off. (I will soon be glueing these back on though.)
10.) One of my stock 14'' Del Sol aluminum wheels ('93 version), is scratched up pretty bad from having a chisel being taken to it in order to removed a stripped lug. (No biggy, since no one can see the scratches since they're covered up by the center cap, plus I plan to eventually purchase aftermarket wheels and tires anyway.)
11.) Slightly bent driver side aux. light bracket.
12.) D16 (instead of B16.)
13.) Hole in driver side seat. (I plan to replace both seats with the '96+ Del Sol seats.)
14.) Faded paint on spoiler and exterior B-pillars.
15.) Long, thin scratch on passenger side of car where someone keyed it.
16.) Missing the ashtray cover. (Going to buy a new one soon.)
17.) Ashtray bulb and 1 gauge cluster bulb are burnt out. (Going to replace with factory replacement bulbs soon.)
18.) Broken hood prop grommet and broken washer nozzle hose holder (the grey-colored plastic thing that's located on the underside of your hood that holds the washer nozzle hose.)
19.) No label on the fuse box cover in the engine compartment. (I plan to soon get one and put it on there.)
20.) Faded shift knob. (Going to replace eventually.)
21.) Minor (and a few major) scratches on various interior panels.
22.) Missing factory-issued tool kit.
23.) USDM sun visors.
That's all that I can think of off the top of my head for now. Anyone wanna help me out on some of my Del Sol's problems? To me, it's the little things that matter, hence why I listed some seemingly dumb "problems." (Ex. no label on fuse box cover.) But I wanna get most, if not all, of these problems addressed and out of the way before I begin adding mods to my Del Sol.
1) theres a fix on teamdelsol.com ... I think you tighten the bolts and add rubber washers or something.
16) I have one if you want it.
