Haha...nice map lights. I was considering them at first but I don't know if I will be using them enough to benifit from it. Heck, I hardly use cruise control. But one thing I do love is the fact that the rear window rolls down so you can throw trash out at tail gaters.

 

And my car is one of the last off the boat...Out of the apparent 5603 made in 1997, mine's number 6807. Proof that Honda skips numbers.

Heehee, I've got a nice little story about that:

Dr. Isotope: I've found that at about 50mph, with all of the windows down and the top on, the wind wortex will suck all of the napkins out of a Del Taco bag and insert them in the grille of the Chevy pickup that's following too closely. That was a good time.

 

I think those map lights are pretty cool. Light up the car pretty well from what I can tell.

 

<search>

 

ok im new here but not new to forums. all i keep hearing it use the search button. thats not the fix all solution. ive tried to use search buttons before. they suck. sure if im looking for something specific i might find it with a search, but what if what im looking for was answered in a post that wasnt even about the problem i was looking for. all im saying is that im new and already getting sick of hearing "use the search button" i think a better solution should be brought up. thats just my opinion

 

*psst* Tcr03...it's over. We lost. Time to adapt.

 

Here's some more features and noteworthy tidbits about the Del Sol that I thought people might find interest in:

*In developing the Del Sol's chassis, engineers took the targa top into mind, and concentrated on strengthening the A and B pillars, the headliner frame section for the A and B pillars, the frame that encompasses the shift linkage end that goes to the shifter, the left and right door sills (the chassis, not the plastic!), and the frame that encloses the rear windshield. Oddly enough, they strengthened the passenger's side of the chassis more than the driver's side. Why? Well because the JDM ones were all right-hand drive. Duh! No protection for us USDMers.

*Also on chassis rigidity, by focusing on the rigidity of the front and rear undersections of the body, the connection with the crossmember was also strengthened, and as a result, improved cabin rigidity.

*JDM SiR Del Sols also had TCS (Traction Control System), which was offered as an optional extra. It was designed to cut power to the wheels upon excessive wheel spin. Works kinda similar to ABS.

*Some JDM Del Sols also came with a helical limited-slip differential.

*The doors of the Del Sol have in them this super thick bar which I've heard can absorb some pretty hard impacts.

*Some EDM Del Sols had headlight level adjusters.

*Another option for the JDM Del Sols was this little "parking pole" that pretty much looked like a retracted antennae located just ahead and slightly off to the side of the headlight. I think it might have been button activated (not sure), but anyway, its function was to raise up and emit this little patch of light that was intended to assist in parking (darn blind people!) lol. But later versions of the Del Sol had this replaced with parking sensors. Not sure how that works though.

*Some JDM Del Sols had seat warmers.

*Back when they were first coming out, Honda offered an optional "Sport kit" for the EDM Del Sols, which was pretty much a subtle body kit. Also avaible were lowering springs and special alloy wheels, although I'm not sure if these 2 items were included in the package.

*+94 EDM Del Sols had the option of a 10 disc CD changer, rather than the optional 6 disc CD changer.

*It was the month of October in 1995 when the Del Sol lost its Aux. lights, and donned the redesigned bumper.

*In designing the aesthetics of the interior, the gauge cluster was given its unique shape to mimic that of goggles, to emphasize freeliness and openness, such as like riding a motorcyle. This was done in order to complement the theme of the Del Sol, Spanish for "of the sun." The theme emphasized on a pleasurable, open-top driving experience.

*EDM Del Sols have NVH (Noise and Vibration Harsness) sound insulation lining under the hood. In the following picture, look at the lining under the hood.


*The EDM Del Sol "Sport Kit" was actually made by Stewart Wilsons, and then distributed by Honda.

*In 1994, all Del Sols' A/C system was changed from R12 to R134A.

 

lol its good to see a familiar face here, im not fighting im just saying that answer for the problem sucks and is a cheap cop out

 

There not noteworthy as they were never available in the US and this IS a US board with most of the members being from the us. Man you guys sure whine a lot whats the deal with that? All they did was merge the boards not tell you can not own a Del Sol its not the End of the world! So stop messing up other threads, if you have a problem with the change Email the Mods or Drumsy cause this is getting old.

 

wow you're a jackass. Well, I'm out, basement or bust.
