Re: Looking to buy a del Sol, Need some advice

Just some helpful info on years and VTEC models.

1994 the VTEC model was introduced, but 93-94 sols didn't have power door locks, trunk release, and a low fuel light. They were introduced in 1995 as a standard options in the Si and VTEC models.

AC and ABS was an option for 94 VTEC models, but became STANDARD in 1995 for VTEC models.

The 93-94 targa top rubber gaskets were poor in design and were improved upon in 1995. The old rubber gaskets allowed water to leak inside the del-Sol.

93-95 the bumper had aux lights/fog lights in the bumper. The bumper was redesigned in 96-97.

The 94-95 VTEC model has the b16a3 with an OBD 1 computer.

The 96-97 VTEC model has the b16a2 with an OBD 2 computer (more emissions restrictive) (the same engine/computer you would find in the 99/00 Civic SI.

VTEC models ONLY have a rear control arms that allows for a sway bar to be attached. The bolt pattern that allows for it is not offered on the S or Si.
