Answer 1

MOPAR

Answer 2

Most of these people commenting don't know what there talking about. I have a 1991 Honda crx si with a B18c motor with A DRAG generation 3 turbo kit and it puts out 304 dyno proven hp at the wheels (car weights 2100lbs) on the stock block reliably for over 2 years now. I'm running a hondata fuel management system and the car is running 12.2 in the 1/4. The CRX clearly has more after market support making it cheaper and easier 4 you to make it faster then a delsol. plus the del sol is about 400 pounds heavier then the crx. lighter car = faster acceleration, better braking, and better handling, and usually more dangerous in a accident!!! If your are seriously looking for a crx, go for a 90 or 91 CRX Si model. They are the only CRX's that come with 4 wheel disc brakes! A CRX should also be cheaper 2 buy initially then the delsol because their blue book value is lower. The first mod you should do 2 your crx is dump the crappy stock d16 motor and find yourself a nice b18c out of a gsr integra or if your on a budget, a b16a is quite cost effective. Here in SoCal, a b16a obd0 motor tranny and ecu can be bought easily for about 1300 as to a b18c setup will cost you about 3000. If your looking at driving your crx around with the stock motor keep this in mind. the crx Hf model has about 70 flywheel horse power on a good day. The DX model has 92 flywheel horsepower. And the Si has 108 flywheel horsepower! Althought the Si model has been known to take well to aftermarket bolt-ons. it's still way underpowerd to play with the big dogs. Don't waste time and money trying to mod it, save the money for that b18c gsr motor and a nice turbo kit! good luck with whatever car you end up chosing! latez. PS, some idiot on this thread said that the Del Sol has a midmounted engine!!! NOT TRUE!!! The engine in the del sol is under the hood like all honda's with exception to the NSX!!!

Answer 3

The CRX is one heck of a lot nicer that the Del Sol! The Del Sol was a failure in the USA and I don't see much in the way of improvements or bolt on additions for it. The CRX does.

The CRX is no longer in production but came in three generations. The first generation, 1983 to 1987, does not have the refinements the second and third generations got... specifically the independent suspension. Though a first gen front end looks so much better with it's recessed headlights, the inferior suspension makes it a poor choice for a platform to improve on.

Make sure which ever 2nd or 3rd gen you buy, it is the Si version too. These will be fuel injected and come with a more performance minded transmission (manual of course!) and higher horse power engine.

Good luck!

Answer 4

Both are comfy and secure, the lateral post that protects you from front and lateral collitions are extra heavy and strong due to the car being short at wheelbase. I do Know for sure because an accord gave me a hard shot direct driver-door to bumper at full 55 mph. They're booth good to make faster with a b16a or b18, the k series is also good choice for a motor but modifications must be madeto accomodate. A del sol is also a tad heavier than a crx due to the roof and pillars being more bulky. But the advantage in this is that with a good suspension setting and wheels cornering is better tan crx. The del sol also can be updated with acura integra parts for swaps, got recaro seats( very comfy) and if you put a good sound sistem the accoustic of the car is also good.Now the dissadvantages are that the roof leaks when it rains so you must change the weather strips, replace it with 97 parts, they are more advanced in design and solve the leak trouble. The si crx got a sun roof or moonroof depending on the year and probably will leak. No brainer they will both go fast but you must know the perfect set up and modz. A turbo or nitro will make a difference in both, also a v-tech engine, type r parts and removing interior parts that only add weight, a good tip also is to use a set up of 17 wheels with tires that can run even flat, that way you don't need to keep the spare in the trunk. Hondas are good and reliable but you must know how to keep it in check as with any other brand of car, hope you get the right car for your style of driving.In my lifetime I had four of them and planning of selling mine to buy another.

Answer 5

I would say that it is a matter of personal opinion. The CRX and the Del-Sol are Based off of the Civic. If you want a two seater, Del-Sol, a four seater, CRX.They have the same motor. But for the price of a Del-Sol, you could get a nice Acura Integra GS-R. I'm pretty sure that it is a lot faster and better. Insurance might be a little higher though.

Answer 6

The CRX definitely has more cargo room. Also, it boasts alot of the newer options available from Honda unlike the discountinued Del Sol. A Del Sol had the mid engine which is not a common honda design, so the parts will be a little more difficult to find.

Answer 7

I might go with a Honda Civic CRX with a blown B16B engine, fully spanked. It was rear heavy and very low as well so it cornered very well. The Del Sol I don't know too much about except that a friend of mine had his rust out totally in a couple years.

Answer 8

CRX is nicer then the Del Sol

Answer 9

If you can get your hands on a Japanese market imported Del Sol with the electronic stow roof, then go for that... otherwise, the Del Sol sucked, which explained the one generation cycle here in the U.S.

CRX, probably too old a car to invest in now.

Answer 10

The CRX for sure. When it first came out the auto mags called it "the thin wallet Ferarrie. The CRX has many after market parts.

Answer 11

I think the del sol has an ugly body style
