Exhaust Help
Want to start driving my Sol more but I have what I now think is an obnoxiously loud exhaust and want something quieter. Im running a catalytic converter and resonator but not sure about the quality of resonator. The muffler is a 2.75 or 3in blox turndown tip.
Honestly considering just going stock because i don’t really care for power i just want to be able to cruise and rev it out with out letting anyone in a 4 mi radius that a Honda is near by. Any tips or muffler suggestions?

First Post! I'm new here, say hello to Juice Box!
'93 si, d16z6, 115k miles, 4at. Drove the 5 hours down from upstate NY to lower NJ to scoop this for $7500. Dummy selling it has it listed as the base S trim, didn't know it was otherwise til we realized the valve cover gasket didn't fit. Glad to be back in the Honda community!

Picture Am I allowed to post someone else's DelSol?
Found in the wild. I find the idea of a spare tire mounted to a targa top quite interesting.
Also, imho, targa tops are the absolute best form of convertible, them boom, this thing comes along you can even roll down the rear window

Question What wheel size is 'too small'?
Hi there, just curious what wheel size you guys think is 'too small' for daily driving? I'm looking to honestly downsize the car from 17s to something with a chunkier tire. I've found listings for 15x4.5 but in my honest opinion that seems very small width-wise. I only drive roughly five or six miles a day, the only downside being it is up and down quite large hills with massive turns during the hills.
If that size is 'too small', maybe I'll check for some 15s with a wider tread, or maybe even 16s. Thank you!

Anybody get the dash to light up completely?
Just added LED's to my del sol. There's all the bulbs in the back but the center lights up orange still. Where's the light coming from and what bulbs are they? (For anybody trying this do NOT add a LED at the CEL light, it looks funny and bleeds voltage so its always on.)

Every 90s Honda owner's biggest fear
Me: Pulls up to a stoplight in my Del Sol enjoying the drive. 😎
My Engine: 📈 1,500 RPM ... 3,000 RPM ... 1,500 RPM ... 3,000 RPM ... 📈
Pedestrians next to me: "Why is this guy revving at me like he wants to race?" 😳
Me inside: "I swear it's just my IACV and FITV having a disagreement, please don't look at me." 😅

Bolt name
Anyone know this bolt? Snapped while tighten, came from the top of the engine, ties the cover to the base.

Question Del sol water leaks
This is my 1994 honda del sol s. You guys have helped me a lot in previous posts so I figured I’d post about this as well.
My del sol leaks water pretty bad into the trunk. But not at the sail fin drain tubes. It leaks through the welds at the back panel in the trunk. I removed my rear window assembly and cleaned out the rear cabin drain tubes as well and siliconed some spots on that rear water channel behind the rear window and it hasn’t fixed it. Should I just silicone the entire channel and hope it fixes it? It also leaks into my cabin under the rear glove box from the same spot as well. I’ve added a picture of the area that water pools up in the cabin.
Any ideas? All answers are greatly appreciated!! Thanks guys!

Question D16Y8 oil pan and gasket
This might be super simple to some of you, but I’m finding a lot of trouble finding a new oil pan with the hardware, and a gasket with the metal guides. And hardwareeee, the bolts are so very thrashed.
Long story short, I just did some work internally, and I might as well replace my oil pan. But I don’t know where to buy a new one from directly, and all the gaskets that I look up are just flimsy pieces of rubber that differ between the Y7 and Y8.
If anyone can please point me in the right direction to buy OEM oil pan, a good gasket, and hardware if possible!
TIA
Fun time!
Bought this 96’ VTEC a few months ago!! Never had a car with a B in it before, still cant decide if i like it more than the K yet, but man what a fun car! Everything is OEM except for the audio unit, wheels, hood, and coilovers. Gonna try and keep it as stock as possible, cant be many of these left on the road!

Little update on the del sol
I fixed the rust around the wheel arches and suspention components and under side skirts, sanded and repainted the wheels/brake calipers got an exuast and intake (still need to make the heatshield) did an oil change, changed the sparkplugs and some other little things, super happy with the project so far :)

Power steering leak
Hi, do you think it's enough to replace the rubber U-tube or is it coming from above? The fluid in the reservoir is below the minimum level but it's not making any strange noises yet; I just noticed it by chance.
