Spiritus: Since Honda doesn't make new Del Sol anymore. I would just put down $15K for insurance sake. You are not insuring a new car. Your insurance company will not pay for a new car in case you total the car all they will do is to pay you used car price. Original purchase price in this case is "Required Useless Nonsense" anyway. bjk |

...but I just got on the boards. My '93 del Sol SI was 17 and change new with rear spoiler & cd player. Samba green, still runs great, only 82k miles. |

What kind of gallery is this?

| rangers_f, sorry to take almost a year to reply, but the brown stuff that you are looking at in my above engine bay photo is NOT rust, it is the waxy anti-rust compound. In addition to this stuff, I have also been taking my Civic to Krown for annual oil sprays to further combat rust. I have owned the car for 38 months now and it still looks like new. Frequent (Turtle) waxing is hard work as you state, but with a few cold ones it is not too bad and certainly worth every bit of the effort. I don't care about the messy looking engine bay, it is a lot better than rust. I have added A/C since the photo because this car is a keeper. Should have bought two, love that double wishbone suspension (2000 last year for it). | |

Hey Johnkholer, Thanks for putting your Civic pic on here. It was the deciding factor on my purchase of identical Honda Alloy wheels. They look very sharp on my '02 Civic DX Coupe! Adam |

Here's my little girl - acquired in July 2004, busy restoring her to safe and efficient condition. She is 18 years old, has 126,900 miles on her, gets 36 mpg so far and runs pretty nicely with a few hiccoughs. She stalled on startup a lot at first but that's been tuned away. Now she gets hot going up hills, we're looking at a new radiator and burping air out of the system. Since purchasing her from a dealer, we have: - replaced rear brake cylinders, bled brake system and changed fluid - replaced water pump, timing belt, cooling hoses, radiator (next week), cooling fan motor and switch - usual tune up things: plugs, wires, filters, fluids (synthetics where applicable)... - four new tires and an alignment - tuned and cleaned the carburetor - repaired a bunch of rust on both front pillars - adjusted the ignition timing - replaced vacuum advance unit - fixed an air conditioning problem by finding ports for two dangling vacuum hoses! - corrected a few oil leaks - found a replacement radio (I need my scan/seek button!) - given her a REALLY good bath - tons of other things I can't think of now...
