Well, it's come time to sell my Del Sol. I bought a civic hatch and I can't afford to have both.
It's a 1994 S model.
I've swapped a B16A SIR-II motor into it, converted the rear drums to disc, lowered on tein s-tech springs and tokico blues. It has 2 1/2" pipe from the cat back and a bomz muffler on the end (like a apexi). Wheels are rota circuit 8s with nitto neo gen tires 205/40R16.
Now for whats bad on the car. Has a leak from the seals around the targa (common as you all know), also leaks from the seal around the windshield, Has rust on both sides where the rear bumper meets the rear quarter panel.
It has no carpet in the interior because of the leak.
Am asking 3500 firm because i can't afford to go any lower. Engine does run strong rest of car is in good shape. will post pics of bad spots when I get them. But for now here are the pics I have of it.

And if you guys don't mind I still would like to come to some of the meets [img]smile.gif[/img]

no!!!!!! fuck eg hatches! but damn that is a real nice price! I might be able to find someone to pick that up man. I'd still love it if you came to the meets, just so i can show off how much you're ganna miss the sol =P
-
I guess that means you can't be the 'solman' anymore. [img]tongue.gif[/img]
Pete is the token hatch guy so do we really need another grocery getter? [img]rolleyes.gif[/img]
Sols and Miatas kinda blend together as they are both impractical vehicles. You can't say that for the hatch. Couldn't you at least have gotten an S2000? You work for a dealership, right?
-
What can I say, it's always sad when one of our members sells their car. I would hope this wouldn't mean you forgot about the info I requested from you that you can get for me.
And no problem with you still coming to our meets, your always welcome to participate with us.

No Geo I didn't forget about the info. I've been really busy I mean really busy of late and work has been pretty crazy the last month. They switched me over to flat rate now so it's kind of different but I'm doing good.
As far as getting a S2000..... Yeah not happenin'. Way to much money and the reason I got the hatch was because of more room. Yeah it's not really big but this is my favorate style hatch and i like it a lot. I will miss my sol though. I really wish I could have them both but it just wont work.
pLaYbOi if you know someone that would like it please let them know cuz I need to sell it as soon as I can. Oh and I will come to the meets. Especially the fun run!
-
Me neither. There is one really interested person here in Sequim but I feel bad sell her to this guy. I don't think he would take the same care that I would to it. But I do need the money so I might just have to.
-
i've already asked most of the people i felt that would be somewhat remotely interested. All of which are in some kind of tight situation where they couldn't get it. I ALMOST got my gf to get it but she had JUST recently bought an EK coupe and couldn't justify having 2 cars at one time for too long of a time. Anyway, if i can, i'll try and see if i can get the sol to a nice home, i dont want to see it go elsewhere.
-
i dont know what your restraints are exactly but i'd say keep her as a weekend car!! Its ALWAYS good to have 2 cars. I have my beater ass hatch and then my sol for when i feel like driving spiritedly, cruisin(top on or off), whatever. The sol does it all accept go fast at the moment lol. OR!!!!!...you can hold onto it until i convince the girlfriend to buy it!!! she wants it pretty bad but like i've mentioned, it would be really HARD to find a way to get the funding for it. UNLESS!!!! you can take payments lol. If that was the case, then we could have her sell her EK coupe and be able to pay off the sol ASAP. pretty sure we could get at least 6k for the ek. But anyway, throwin more ideas out there blah blah blah
-
u still have the car? if i could save sum money i would pick it up.
-
Yeah I still have it but there is someone in town that is really interested he just has to get his parents to approve.
-
well let me know what happens.
-
Ok, so I called back the one kid that wanted it and he didn't call back and I haven't heard from anyone else so it's still for sale if anyone is interested. let me know.
-
-
you mean in the interior? No. I don't. I do in the trunk though. Sorry [img]frown.gif[/img]
-
I have carpet for a sol that's just sitting in my old one it's not bad and not that dirty either just mostly usual wear if u need the whole thing.
-
Holy crap thats sweet. I'm interested Bro! my email is [email protected]. My names Jesse and i'm looking for another sol. I've loved the white ones. Couple questions tho. Miles??? any extra parts? Big thing. Manual or auto....lemmy know asap. Thanks
-
Ok i feel really bad for not replying to everyone quickly like I should have so i apologize. My friend in town is looking into buying it so he will probably get it. If he doesn't get the loan and can't buy it, I think I'm going to part it out because there are a lot of parts I need myself and it would save me a lot of money if I did. I will let you guys know by Tuesday at the latest that is if anyone here is interested in parts.
-
Solman,
Is the car still for sale?
Let me know, I'm definitely interested.

Dibs on the hood if you are going to part it out. [img]frown.gif[/img]
-
Ok, so the last I knew my one friend was going to buy it but I haven't heard from him in over a week. I'm going to give him a few more days and then just part it out. I will let you know.
The reason I'm doing it this way is becuase there are a few parts I want on the car for my civic. Like the engine and clock spring. My engine runs like crap and I know what the einge in my other car has gone through plus I just like the B-series anyway.
I'll keep you all posted though.
-
Ok, just pop me an e-mail. I definitely need the hood but I could use a few more things if you aren't going to use them.
-
Man, I haven't been by this place for a while, but lo and behold a part-out thread.
If the parting of the out happens I need some interior parts. Like the lower steering bezel with the fuse door. A driver' side interior door handle. Driver's seat (wishful thinking here). And a driver's side seat belt.
Provided any or all of that is in good condition I'd be more than willing to pay for shipping or maybe even drive over and pick up.
Keep us updated. And while I like this opportunity you're presenting I still don't think you should get rid of her. Hatches are cliche anyway. [img]wink.gif[/img]
-
Ok so here it is. I'm parting her out. It's going to take a while to do it though because I'm going to be taking the engine out and puting it in the EG Hatch. I don't have a lot of weekends off so it's not going to be soon. I will let you guys know when she's ready to actually part out.
BiffStroganoffsky, when I can you can deffinitely have the hood. Do you need it real soon or can you wait a little bit?
Mitchness, all those parts sound good except the seat cuz those are going in the hatch. I'll let you know when.
I really don't want to get ride of the sol but I need more than two seats and I can't have both so she had to go. I'll miss her [img]frown.gif[/img]

Sorry to hear that you will soon be a Sol-less driver. As for me, I can be real flexible with my time. Depending on what you've promised to others and what the price(s) is/are, I would pretty much need everything to fix a front end collision. Hood definitely. I have a fender, bumper cover and aux lights but they aren't in the best condition so I'd be interested in those pieces for a price. I could also use a bumper reinforcement bar and passenger headlight and side marker along with the air box in the fender. I seem to remember that you had a CAI system though.
Pop me a message at KMai(at)DSHS(dot)WA(dot)GOV when you are ready to dismantle the sol or have a price list.
-
Thanks man, I can do without the seat, was just a thought. I'm in no real hurry so whenever you can get around to it get ahold of me at [email protected] and we'll see if we can do business.
-
Ok guys sounds good. Give me a few weeks to assess evertthing and then I'll get back to you. I've got a really big job at work right now so it will be hard to use the lift any time soon (head gasket on a V6 accord).
