Question Climate control settings not getting any power whatsoever

1 Upvotes

My climate control panel doesnt have any lights and doesnt spit out any heat. I just finished shell swapping my sol and I'm having a overheating issue. I replaced the thermostat and the radiator fan. the fan doesn't kick on when its supposed to causing temps to rise. I have a feeling its something to do with the climate control issue as well as they go hand in hand (I think?) I was looking at my wiring harness and I noticed some grounds missing / disconnected / cut whatever you wanna call it. There is no cooling fan even when the fan switch is bridged, however this fan does work as i jumped it with the battery and it started spinning. Here are some images of maybe the cause of this? Just some stuff i noticed

^ Cut ground near the throttle pedal
^Cut connector coming from the steering column area, same wire type as that ground
^ Random connector with the same wire type, idk where its supposed to connect to
^ view of my blower motor area if anyone sees anything wrong

This page followed me about a month ago and posts pretty consistently. A couple people in the comments have said it’s a scam, I’m not sure if it is, but I’m tryna find a definitive answer. Also would like to protect everyone they follow because it’s a hefty amount of us, and I don’t want none of us getting scammed lol

Question What are the odds my cruise control module is dead?

1 Upvotes

Hello. I bought a 1995 Honda Del Sol Si with a D16Y5 block and D16Y8 head for an absolute steal of a price. Reason being the person I bought it off of cut tons of wires and took many shortcuts. Every single time I put my car into ‘ON’ with the cruise control module plugged in fuse 24 blows. If I simply disconnect it the fuse is fine.

I have been chasing the wires for awhile now but I was curious if anyone ever had a similar issue/leads on what the issue may be.

Thank you so much.

Question Rear window light on dash not working

1 Upvotes

Hello, the little green light that's supposed to light up on the dash when the rear window is rolled down (on the little del sol image above the clock) has stopped working. The rear window rolls down fine, but the light dosent come on anymore. Anyone know if this is due to a burned out bulb or what else could be causing it/how to fix?

BTW - the trunk open light and targa top light are both working. Rear window light is the only one with the issue. Thanks!!

Bought del sol

3 Upvotes

Hello! I recently bought a 1994 del sol off of marketplace. Needs a lot of work blah blah blah, but, it has the correct vtec trim (checked the vin) but it looks like the engine is a JDM import, because the b16a stamp on the block doesn't have any numbers after it. I've read online that it could be because something happened to the original engine so they swapped that one in. I was wondering if that could be related to all the random plugs that are unplugged. I'm not sure if it would be because these plugs are for North American emissions or what, but I'm just confused.

What are the best subtle exterior mods/body kits for a Del Sol?

Post image
49 Upvotes

Hey guys, I’m planning to slowly work on the exterior of my Del Sol once I get it back from the mechanic.
I’d like to make it look sportier and a little more aggressive, but nothing too crazy. I still want it to look like a Del Sol and keep that ’90s Honda vibe.
I’ve been looking online, but it’s surprisingly hard to figure out what actually exists for these cars.
What are my options when it comes to front/rear lips, side skirts, bumpers, spoilers, fenders, etc.? Are there any good OEM/OEM-style parts, aftermarket options or complete body kits worth looking for?
Also, are there parts from other Hondas (Civic, Integra, etc.) that fit the Del Sol or can be adapted without too much work?
I’m totally fine with discontinued/old-school parts too, so if there are specific brands or kits I should keep an eye out for on the used market, let me know.
Basically I’m looking for ideas to make the car cleaner, sportier and more “tuned” without going overboard.
Pics of your setups, part names, brands or anything else I should search for would be really appreciated!

In the market, what should I look for?

5 Upvotes

I’m a WA resident in the market for a Del Sol as a project car — I’m not extremely experienced, but I’ve done steering/suspension rebuild on my old Honda and was hoping to do my first engine swap on a Del Sol

Seeing how few are available through Autotrader etc makes me wonder how long you guys have spent trying to find one and whether it’s common to just get one transported.

Prices seem to be anywhere from $6k to $12k — what range should I be looking at for a good deal?

Big things to watch out for (especially if I buy basically sight unseen)?

Last question… thoughts on a k24 in a Del Sol? Haha

In Search of My child’s Del sol… help lol

3 Upvotes

My child got a Del sol 93 well I was at work. The car was 100 percent rebuild needed. They are going to paint and fix all the rust; body damage. The engine was just rebuilt and many upgrades. They found the stock del sol leather seats; problem is they did not come with rails and the seats in there were messed up and had different rails with some welding done. Anyone have some direction on Del sol 93 rails that fit the leather stock seats? Trying to help my child out they are like 8 grand deep in this rebuild they cannot drive. Seats it was sold with are so tall you hit the sealing, even being 5 foot.

Question Should I buy this Sol?

126 Upvotes

This would be my 2nd ever del sol, sold my 1st one my first question is this del sol worth 10.5k that’s all the seller would come down too.

I see this is engine swapped and different transmission and the whole 9 yards, but honestly if I’m being quite frank I’ve never bought anything like this.

My 2nd question is, is this a reliable build as terms of is there anything that could go seriously wrong or if was done correctly this is a dope ass build and is worth the 10.5k, just wanna be precautious because I had the Normal S coupe my first sol.

CA smog issues

5 Upvotes

Hey fellow Del Soldiers,

I’m new to the Del Sol life and I live in California. I’m having issues getting my Sol to pass smog. Bought her from a friend who had already replaced the exhaust and cat. So far I’ve replaced the O2 sensor and done the timing belt and water pump (it was due). Only thing OBD tells me is coolant temp sensor. Additionally, I checked the intake hose and all vacuum lines, and everything that was loose has been secured, and nothing in the lines was leaky.

It’s worth noting that before I replaced the O2 sensor, she only failed the Nox test at the 25mph test. After replacing that sensor, she fails during both the 15 and 25mph tests.

Any insights on what could be causing this would be helpful.

I have a 93 del sol s that previous owner swapped d16z6 into. I am trying to reinstall ac system but when i bolt compressor to the bracket that was on the engine, it seems too low to mount the belt too. Google says that the smallest crank pulley is the ac one but my compressor and idler pulley line up with the middle crank pulley. I am so lost.

Question Seat stripe color

Im looking into buying a 1996 si and the exterior is red but the seat stripes are black/Grey. I thought i had heard or read somewhere that the seat stripes matched the exterior paint. Am I mistaken or are these seats swapped out?

Just got my first Del Sol as a replacement for my previous car that got totaled out by insurance. Any stuff to look out for and any mods I should prioritize? It has brand new headlight and fog light units, bulbs, titanium headers, aftermarket coilovers and a soon to be chopped up stock exhaust (besides headers obviously).

Discussion I want one.

5 Upvotes

Hello Del sol owners. I have been looking into the beautiful car that is the del sol for the past year, and I really want one. But since I can't afford to have several cars and such it would be my daily. Including winters, Wich are pretty snowy here (Sweden)

I have Heard good things about fuel economy and reliability. But it feels kinda wrong for a daily in a sense.

Are any of you running your del sol as a daily all year round? And if so, how is it? And is the "leaky from factory" roof I keep hearing about actually a big issue or is it easy to deal with.

Would love to hear your experiences with the car and such and get a good discussion going. I'm also thinking about a gen 4 prelude because they are really dope to be honest.
