Should I get a Del Sol?
I've been thinking about getting a new car, and there's a Del Sol Si around where I live. I really like how they look and the whole targa top and back window that rolls down. Also they have rear disc brakes and a front anti sway bar. What are your opinions on Del Sols?
Also, if I get one I plan on swapping as many of my parts as I can. Does anyone know if the exhaust from an EG (92-95) Sedan/Coupe will swap with a Del Sol with the D16Z6? I don't think it would but correct me if i'm wrong. If not, will at least the axle-back section swap?
And also i'm pretty sure the catalytic converter will swap as long as the Del Sol is OBD1, and the intake will swap, and my header, and my shocks/struts and springs, along with my strut bars. Someone correct me if i'm wrong on any of this.
Opinions on Del Sols are welcome, and of course i'm only going to buy one if it's in pretty good condition. BTW, owner says this one i want to look at is bone stock, with black interior and exterior. I'm still waiting for him to reply with answers to all of my questions.
EDIT: I plan on buying a car by borrowing the money from my dad, and then swapping parts that i can, and then selling my civic to pay my dad back. That's why i'm looking at cars even though i still have this one.

yea, i went and looked at it today. it's pretty good. it could use some touch up paint around one of the foglights, and needs the plastic handles for the targa top. It needs brake pads soon and needs a valve cover gasket. That's it though, and it runs well and everything works right.
Anyone know about the exhaust swapping over from an EG coupe/sedan to the del sol? I've read at some places that it works, and i've read at other places that it doesn't. Perhaps it's because some of them could have been referring to the del sol VTEC with the B16 and that's why it wouldn't work. IDK. I looked under the del sol today though while i was checking it out, and it looks like the same exhaust configuration as mine.
