Del Sol for Winter?

How well does this work in 6" of snow? I'm talking a completely stock, D-series powered, manual trans, Del Sol.

I found one for cheap, and was thinking about picking it up. I will put snow tires on it as well. (That HAS to be better than the MRS with sumemr tires) All it needs is a throwout bearing, fix the driver's side door linkages (can't open from the outside), and that's all I was told.

What are common problems? Targa top leaks I hear. Usual Honda 1/4 panel rust (that I don't really care about for a beater). Anything else?

Dude, I don't speak/read Spanish but I know "del sol" does not mean "drive in snow" hahaha

 

Well shit, I bought it anyway. :roflmao:

 

stop buying cars...

seriously...

[nice]

 

:googly: You go through way to many cars.

Nice.

 

not nearly as many as some people I know

 

damn sweet pick up! i was thinking the same thing del sol for winter beater. or a miata. or since the snow gets high i might need a jeep

 

I wish I could have gotten a Jeep, but they go for a bit more. I don't have that to spend on a car.

 

yea i know im looking for a cheap one. ive seen some under 3 grand which isnt bad. used

 

woot welcome on buying a sol...i sold one of mine and now im trying to get the other one fixed for the road...

damn yours is black too..the color i wanted lol

 

You can have it in spring. I don't want it haha

 

take it meaning have it for free? dont tempt me ill buy a ticket now lol

 

nah, $1500.

I need to break even on this.

 

damn lol...just had a black one for sale with lambo doors for that here lol

 

lol

I've replaced:
clutch (TO bearing, pilot bearing, pp, disc)
driver's side axle (pass. looks new too)
pads and rotors
touch screen monitor w/ a DVD player
shifter bushings

and it looks like I might be doing a thermostat because the car has an over-cooling issue (won't heat up for a LONG time). It could also use paint, but I might do it super cheap in the spring time.

 

damn nice upgrades
