I am picking up a 94 next Thursday with 51k miles. Flying to FL from Ny and driving it back. How hard is it to replace the seals to ensure it doesn’t leak? Also what’s the deal if you get a car Wash? Just always expect it to have water in? Seems wild

@@ImagineBeingFat that's awesome man! Congrats. You must be so excited. And I can't speak for all Honda's. I've come from Subarus mostly, but my delsol burns a ton of oil being the B16. I've read that most vtec engines of that era burn a lot of oil, just how it is. So I'm assuming if you get one with VTEC, even if it's the sohc, it will probably burn. My burns a quart every 1500

@scooch9884 жыл бұрын
Biggest thing for me would be the body. Check to see how bad the rockers are (might have to remove the sideskirt to see) and check the rear quarters. Those are the two biggest places for rust on these. Other than that I would do the typical inspection making sure nothing is rotting away, strut towers, frame etc. Check the seals along the targa. Every delsol leaks. If the owner tells you it doesn't leak he's lying. But it's about how bad it's leaking. So check the seals to make sure they're not completely gone. Check the trunk for moisture. These cars tend to gather water. Make sure it's nothing major. Other than that i can't think of anything off the top of my head. Feel free to DM me on Instagram with any other questions @scooch988. Good luck with the car!

I’m looking at getting this car in the uk (the b16 engine) and was just wondering if it is a quick car , I’m 19 and was in the market for something around 200bhp but I see this car and though the power to weight ratio would be sick? So that’s really my question, is this a fast car meaning can I overtake easily and smoke any normal car, in a responsible way of course...
@scooch9884 жыл бұрын
By today's standards, no you won't be smoking anyone in this car unless it's a stock d series that you're going up against haha. However I want to emphasize the fact that this is an incredibly good platform for someone of your age, or anyone just getting into the car scene. It's easy to work on, the b series has a huge aftermarket platform. Endless turbo and supercharger kits if you want more horsepower. At the end of the day it's "quick" but you have to drive it like you stole it. I've driven and owned plenty of fast cars in my day, the DelSol is at the top as one of my favorites. It's a very raw driving experience that really connects the driver with the car. If you find a clean one I highly recommend getting it
@kye90344 жыл бұрын
Scooch tbh I was looking at getting a turbo kit in this and then a new after market exhaust, new coil overs and new aftermarket wheels, I was just thinking though the b16 being a 160bhp vtec engine in shouldn’t be slacking in the price bracket ofc, so surely it can beat a similar priced st, but I think I’m really wanting this just due to wanting to get into the jdm scene, like eventually I want a 350z... but for the price and insurance over here I can’t really find anything better, plus this car is just lovely looking once modded... but when I say quick I do mean it picking up speed quick on the motorway (highway) fast or beating the standard Vauxhall or bmw
