Nasty Del Sol

We recently featured a very nice Honda Del Sol and pointed out that these are an interesting way to get some open-air fun.  This is not at all like that car…

This seller claims a B18C swap from an Integra, which isn’t a terrible idea, though it only adds ~17ft-lbs and 10HP over a stock Del Sol VTEC.  The swap will also introduce smog certification problems in some states.

The news here, of course, is the hideous body kit and equally horrendous paint.  At least this doesn’t have a high starting price or reserve.  If bough cheaply, one might be able to return a modicum of taste to this vehicle, but it would have to be bought at the $2,500 opening price to be remotely worth it.

$2,500 with one bid and no reserve

The wheel choice wasn’t bad here, but the car around them ruins the effect.

Nasty rear valence, ugly tail lights and fart can exhaust complete the look, as expected.

Good news!  The paint has issues, so there’s a great excuse to get rid of it, along with the body kit.

Interior is, fortunately, close to unmolested.  Diamond plate floor mats are terrible, yet entirely disposable.

If this is swapped, it is a clean job, but that might be because the wiring harness wasn’t finished (see ad text).  The chrome finisher on top is worth at least 6 HP.

Ad text:

“GOOD : transmission shifts smooth,clutch is good,all brake calipers and pads replaced in the last 1000 miles ! Motor uses no oil,A/C is cold,heaters run HOT,Roof,trunk and door gaskets are good. Updated lights all the way around the car ! $2000.00 stereo system with custom built JL sub ! (sounds GREAT ! ) Paint has clearcoat damage on the hood and front bumper needs to be repainted. Tires are about 50 % and it drives like a dream !Every option works on car with the exception of the cruise control. BAD : I bought the car off this site 3 years ago, Drove it home 1000 miles with no problems,Car has a B18C motor swap from a integra and they never finished the wiring harness mods.The rear 0/2 sensor in not hooked up and the car runs rich on fuel & shows a check engine light at all times.”
