Well I finally went out and bought myself a new car with the insurance money from my totalled Celica ($5000). After shopping around for a few days I found a really nice '95 del Sol Si with under 90,000 miles that was painted red. I got it for $3500 and now I have $1500 to spend on the car. I'll get some pics up in a few days after I get my camera back from my friend.
Only bad thing is that the car has a giant spoiler on the back but I'll have that off by the time I get the camera back. See you guys, I enjoyed my time here and even though I didn't get another Celica, I still might lurk around here. Oh yes, and I do plan on swapping the del Sol engine to a bigger one so that I can actually get a decently fast car. |

How about you do some research...? Del Sols are light... but not for their size. They weigh in the 2500 pound neighborhood (moderately loaded SI models) and that, is heavier than a Civic hatchback, which is between 2100-2400 pounds depending on trim (EG Civic hatchback models) Coupes weigh roughly 50-60 pounds more. A 6gc Celica, which is far larger, weighs between 2400-2600. Yes, they do have shorter geared trannies, which make better use of their power, but that was never a question. Bringing it up is pointless. As far as I can tell, aside from the stupid fawks who said stupid things, no one has bashed the Del Sol. Overall... the Del Sol is a nice little car... impractical, but nice. The SI trim isn't exactly what I'd choose, but if the owner is happy with it, that's all that matters. It has its ups and downs, in terms of performance, but when compared vs. a 6th gen, It far surpasses in terms of aftermarket support. IMO, honda makes the best n/a engines... -------------------- "It's ok to be naked girl... I'm an artist!"
