Hello everyone, Im new to the forums and the honda scene in general. I used to own a 1992 Integra and after looking into performance parts for it, I realized it wasnt worth it considering it had 183,000 miles. I am looking at a 1997 Del Sol VTEC right now, and was wondering what people think of them? And if its not to much trouble, does anyone know of a list of terms and things? The B15C5 (pardon me if I said it wrong) engines and the different types, I dont know the difference.

Thanks,
-Ski

 

Dude if you've got a chance for a '97 VTEC then go for it!!!

 

97 VTEC!! there were like ... less than 800 of those made. The stock b16 should be fine, dont worry about an engine swap if you're talking about that.

 

Thanks for the vote of support! I am hopefully going to buy it tomorrow *heres to hoping it goes well*. I asked about the engine terms because I dont know what the different names for them are like "b16" and such.

 

the del sol VTEC comes with the b16 ... b series engine, 1.6 ltr
Its a DOHC VTEC motor pushing around 160hp.

 

Thanks!

 

Let's see some pics of the car when you get it! You'd better get it! Chance of a lifetime here!

 

yep.

and if you get a VTEC don't worry about doing an engine swap. The B16 is a perfect engine to mod. :naughty: Doing a swap would seem pointless to me.

 

Yes, get the DOHC VTEC version and you will not regret it! I just purchased a 96' yesterday and I am enjoying every minute of it. Driving one these days is like finding gold.

 

There is some minor issues with getting the car (the person selling it raise the price 3 grand for me.. how nice) so im working on a solution atm. Ill post pics when <and hopefully if> I get it.
