Nice looking car and great gas mileage I'm sure. But don't those things have front wheel drive? And pistons?

Just giving you a little poke in the ribs. I actually kind of like that del sol although I never have driven one. It's too bad Honda doesn't get serious about building another sporty two seater with a reasonable price tag. With a rotary engine.

I used to date an asian girl that drove a Del Sol. I refused to drive it at all costs.

Hey I've been working all afternoon on a problem with my leading ignition in the white 85 GSL, it's totally mysterious. That del sol is looking pretty good right about now.

B18 FTW. Just not in a del sol haha. Decent looking car, had a turbo B18 in my integra but sucked on fuel and turbo was really way too big (didnt hit boost till 5200 rpm)

So i took that out and ended up selling to my brother haha.

Ray Green? Problems? thats not right....

grrrrrrrr........ so it's apparently not the leading ignition after all and I'm back to looking at the carb, which I cleaned out the top half of this morning, checked the floats and float valves, everything looks fine. This is one of those times I wish I really was a mechanic. Or had that del sol.
