Well yea I got the car with 160,xxx miles it needed a lot of maintenance which I have been trying to do these past few years. I have fixed a lot of things, but I am just tackling every problem one step at a time.
Dude, I just bought a Del Sol with 240,xxx miles on it, the previous owner took good care of it, and it has none of the issues you stated besides the visors and body flex. Mine is a 97 model, so it doesn't have the extra lights on the front, which I think looks better. Anyways, it really depends on how well it's been maintained over the course of it's life.
Its a 20 plus year old car. Cosmetics will always be a problem unless it is a garage kept car. I have a 93 1.5l great gas saver. A fun car. Will be re doing the suspension. I did nt know that this was sold with a b18 nice.
Well then you dont complain about the weight its only 1170kg you complain about the power, but you dont complain about that either because you cant forget the Car is over 20 years old. And if youre telling me a car thats over 20 years old that does 0-100 in 8 seconds is slow youre a dumbass.
@@marcrchtz9024 have you seen most other cars from that era , they performed better ( *cough* cough* Miata ) . and Im not saying its slow or anything , but even the top end si model isn't fast. especially if you get any model besides the si, they are like VW beetle slow. and for a Japanese car in the 90s that has only 2 seats ,it is pretty heavy. I would buy a civic or a Miata any day of the week over this unless I found spanking deal. you sound a bit Honda fanboyish. I would chill out and think rationally.
I love my Del Sol. The trunk is bigger than what you will get in most two seaters and you still have room for stuff behind the seats and you can lock it up. Then if you know enough about the basics of how stuff works on a car it is a car you can easily work on yourself.
Yea the trunk is huge for a 2 seater, and yes these cars are pretty simple to work on. Me and my friends agree that Honda vehicles are like legos for adults.
Sabina Cruz Love my Del Sol 1995 as well and won't be selling it any time soon.Hopefully will meet you on the road sometime! Maybe on Del Sol day :p Cheers
I own clean 93' with 85k miles. No issues and I love it. I also race it at local autocross events, and take 1st or 2nd place in my class. The body flex is easy and inexpensive to fix. P.S. get rid of that crappy steering wheel, and get a paint job.
I'm actually going to sell my steering wheel a d get a momo monte carlo. I'm also slowly doing body work. Wow 1st and 2nd. That's pretty good for a del sol
Good job but I have to say, the title is misleading. Some of these Cons are more accurately described as Cons of owning an OLD Delsol. Meaning they are not design related, example drain holes getting dirty causing leaks, oil seals weeping oil etc. I mean after 25 years etc. you would think it is about time it gave up.
I miss my Del Sol so much. I still hunt for a clean inexpensive one. I didn't have as many leaking problems as you did. I wrecked it shortly before it needed a new clutch.
I had a 94, and now I have a 97. The 94 was not VTEC, but it was quick enough to be fun, and got 39 mpg. Right after a primo paint job it got stolen and wrecked. The 97 is a different story. For one thing, my 94 did flex, as you say. You could look in the side rearview mirrors and see it. But my 97 is stiff as a board, so either I'm lucky or they did something. It has a 1.8 L. Type R Acura motor (B16CE, if I remember correctly), with limited slip built into the tranny. I also have my hood, roof & headliner, roll bar cover, trunk, and rear facia carbon fiber. I wish I had left the roof stock though, because the carbon fiber isn't much lighter than the stock aluminum roof, and when the top is up (Only when it rains) it squeaks like mad. I swapped out the 97 front bumper for the older style, which I like way more, and it's now wired so they can be on as running lights, independent of the headlights. It's also got a Skunk 2 throttle body and ceramic alloy headers, with stainless steel braided brake lines. I put in excellent coil-overs, and the thing handles great. I've auto-crossed it quite a bit. I never had any trouble with leaks on either car until some tweaker shot a bullet through both my windows (over 900 bucks apiece) and since then the driver's side window doesn't quite seal right, and I lay a towel over the driver's seat when I wash the car. I see you have the cool little JDM interior door handles, with the little map lights. I have those too, and I also luckily acquired a pair of billeted aluminum latches for the roof, to replace the plastic ones. I love my Sol, and hope to keep it for life. When my first one got stolen I just couldn't think of a better car to replace it with!
hello, to stop the squeaks and leaks you need to use the Rubber care treatment "Gummi Pflege". It comes in a tube and costs $8 on Amazon. I use it on my Mazda Miata (14 years old) and I have no leaks. Apply the stuff every 6months and it makes the rubber soft and supple and water tight. Cheers, Rob
Alfredo Robles Your welcome, its great stuff. This stuff lasts me 4 years or so, which makes it very cheap to use. I tend to apply it 3-4 times a year to keep the rubbers super soft. you can also use it on the lower door and trunk seals which helps keep the road noise & water out.
People hated the Del Sol for being heavier than the model it replaced. Little did they know every model that followed was essentially bigger and heavier, making the Del Sol actually light in comparison and just in line with the trend of cars becoming bigger and heavier with each generation.
You know that's true. I didnt even care to think of that. Every model after that did get heavier. It's really just the wheel base of the del sol. That's its limit.
Mine was a B16 when I bought it, but now its a B20, but it's also heavier than yours because I have the Transtop electric roof.... It's an awesome car!
@@ElReySupr3me it's the same here in the UK too, the car's are so rare now that most people have never seen one, I often get a crowd watching when I open or close the roof. I have a video of it on here.
@@ElReySupr3me yeah I had to replace the gears on mine but I did get the car cheaper because the roof didn't work, and the gears are still available from Honda and they're quite cheap too.
1. The roof can be tweeked to not squeek anymore. 2. You already have 2nd gen seals, teak your windows for the car to not leak. 3. For the trunk leak, remove your sail panels and put silicon on the bottom clip hollding it on 4. Never had engine leaks on mine ^^ 5. For the trunk release, get a Transtop 6 The whole chassis is the same as the eg 7. go visit my channel: ru-vid.com/show-UCrEIu22Wi9DxuSMbEPBqT8Q
Look who it is Nathan! the guy with the baddest UK del sol! 1. I believe you mean tweaking as in making the roof grab tighter correct? I have seen that done online, but too lazy I am only stating what del sols do over longevity since this is a old chassis. 2. Trunk leak I repaired ; stated that in my video what I did 3.my engine has almost 200,000 so leaks are expected; maintenance is needed. 4. transtops were not released in the USA 5.This chassis is the same for a eg, and dc 6. My seals are not second gen these seals were and are known to leak for a 1994 del sol. 2nd gen del sol were the del sol with the dolphin nose bumper, and those had better seals that over longevity either do not leak or leak due to them being weathered down.
Dear Alfredo, the targa chasis is NOT heavy. You wont find a lighter one in the industry! The sqeek can be eliminated with some silicon powder or anything else that let the rubber glide. This helps for the leaks as well - dont ask me why! Yes the front lights are BAD! If your engine is leaking - somebody has "worked" on that section before. My 5 Del Sols never had a leak! Ha and the body flex - does it matter? Does it any harm? Any targa body that not flexes weigths another 200lbs.. Yes the US-visors are strange.. Have a great day! Fix your car or stay a way of Del Sol's. Regards from europe :-)
First of all sure it's a very light chassis, but compared to other Hondas no it is heavy. It's also a 4 banger. It isn't a targa Porsche which is heavier, but also has 6 cylinders. So yes the del sol is heavy compared to other Hondas that people use to race. I was not generalizing how heavy it was among the other community of cars that are targa tops. My car also leaks since I'm sure a majority of its life was outside. Nothing on the surface of our planet can handle outside exposure to the elements so think about that. I also do have leaks due to what you said and its a high mileage b16. Leaks are known to happen to cars with high mileage. Also I do all my own work and I don't take my car to mechanics. That's why I was complaing about it. I do all my own shit and love it since this car is teaching me more than I can ask for. Congratulations on not having leaks someday mine will be like yours. Nah I won't stay away from my del sol either slowly building it, and these things take time. Have a good day from the U.S. in good ol California.
It seems like this car had some pretty spotty engineering, but doesn't every company have like a QC to monitor these small problems. It just seems like a lot of issues were overlooked.
I've got a del sol when I first got it the paint job looked worse then that now 7 years later I still got her still give me a headache every once and awhile but still a great car keep it up man!
Alittle heavier. Theres trucks that are bigger and dont weight that much. Its a small car thats a two door that weights what a car 2 times bigger with four doors weights.
nice del sol and those rims are sick! i wish i had the B16 in mine. Do the mechanics first let the paint for last. put some WD40 with the needle cap inside the key wholes. just a click! cheap and you re gona feel the diference. i do it yesterday and they feel brand new. cheers mate
jose jalapenho thanks for the love Jose! I also got lucky getting these rims got them really cheap for being sprint harts. I'm going to try that wd40 trick never heard about that thank you. You should get a b16=)
I got a corvette with a targa top, its awsome, you got a hardtop when you want and when you want a bit of fresh air while driving on backroads, pull over and remove the roof.
Alfredo Robles nope beacause its a c4 only 230-250hp for 1500 kilos. But i've planned to put a ls1 in it, 100 more hp but same fuel efficiency 8.5l/100km.
Alfredo Robles i got stock exhaust and intake, i wa in a tunel when i came back from work and i swear, it sounds really quiet, i was a bit disapointed. But it was incredibely comfortable on the highway. Not a good city car beacause its wide and the turning radius is like a boeing 747. But for a roadtrip, its comfortable, reliable and people always look at you, but cops dont. And the best, it got pop-up headlights and digital gauges!
Hey man cool video. I'm planning to buy one my self I live in the California area to maybe we could go to a car meet or something. I would like to be around more del sol owners to learn more.
I agree about the squeaky targa top. it isn't noticeable on the highway, but in the city... omg. I agree so much about the sun visors too. Why was the US given those baby sun visors? I wish Honda had given them more interior light, a warning chime for headlights when you open your door(I killed my battery), and given the US the option of the electric targa top.
Maybe because statistically Americans are taller than Japanese people idk; that mat be the reason to them adding smaller visors. I installed the interior door lights and they add so much brightness; I recommend getting them. They are called jdm del sol maplights.
They don't weigh too much. They are the sMe weight or nearly the same as the hatches. Only because its a targa and the reinforced targa area made this car heavier. Enjoy rear 93 vtec. The vtec b series models are a dying and rare breed now.
the glass aux and headlights do not meet dot requirements so you wan thank the government for that. also the VTEC seal is cheap and easy to replace. The seals that leak the grease from honda does help a lot with that too. check craigslist and facebook, tons of people are parting out Sol's
onyxreddragon yea I know they don't, but I still upgraded my aux lights, and yea many seals are easy to replace and others require more mechanical knowledge to reach.
First car was a 97 delsol si. It didnt handle for crap and was slow but i loved it still. I also had a 95 hatch with a manual rack but it had ac. It was the funnest car ever.
bhandersen2 Nevermind. Not sure what I was saying there. I installed a new lever and cable from an eg5 lol Mine had only the gas tank door lever so I converted it.. Mine is also an 1992 EDM EH6 ..
Con about cars that are good on gas.seems like they put smaller has tanks on most that are good on gas so your at the pump just as often as with cars that get 20 to 28 miles per gallon with larger tanks
Alfredo Robles I have no idea :/ It's not a VTEC but it's not slow by any means and get more than 30mpg and above 35mpg on freeway. people talk about how del Sol sucks compared to create but del sols body is much more aerodynamic. the front of a few is almost box like with a straight incline. the del Sol body is smooth and tappers like an arrow head even though the bumper doesn't come to a point and the front windshield has a gradual recline that also tappers in. yes weight is very important, but how efficient your vehicle's moves though air might be more important, especially at high speeds.
Nice video. Do you still have your del sol? Do you know what would be the first places to look with front aux lights that don't come on? Bulbs? I got my del sol back late this spring, not knowing much of anything about its history.
Yes I still got my baby. Yea if you want front aux it depends what u want. The usdm aux or edm. Edm is glass and it uses the h4 bulb. The usdm one is plastic and it uses a small bulb that I can't remember. The output on the usdm one sucks tho which is why I opted for the h4 edm glass aux lights. I got most of my stuff on Ebay, and the bulbs u can order online. What year is your del sol?
I'm actually planning on rebuilding the b16 so it can handle a turbo for many years to come. As far as the flexing im going to just get a roll bar, and an X bar possibly only cooncern is safety with the x bar.
@@ElReySupr3me I got my extra top from a junk yard and I have to make my own x cause I just cant find one to buy. So far my del sol is only a $300 investment. That's the car(its in great shape d series tho. And I got it with a bad timing belt), motor(k24a1) I'm looking for a transmission now. I hope you get it the way you want yours. Good luck
i have a 98 del sol motegi. it doesn't have the trunk release,nor the option to put it in because the plastic just ends after the gas cap opener. have to turn the car off,get out with the keys and open it by hand every time. another negative point that you could add is that theys love to rust above the rear wheels. other than that there's plenty more things like excellent visability that make me love my sol. i never want to sell it and it's been with me ever since i was 17(i'm 24 now,so 7 years). almost a decade in my first car and i fell in love with it! crash free,too!
RapiDEraZeR Mine did not have it either, but I welded it in the appropriate spot. Well all Honda cars rust in that area, but mine is a California car so we virtually see no rust here. Your car is a Motegi so it's the rarer del sol only released in the UK so that explains the rust. I also agree visibility is great and even better with a bigger rear view mirror. Keep your Motegi it's so rare and beautiful.
Alfredo Robles yeah,i'm from germany and the weather here isn't exactly the friendliest and rust is an issue. i'll definitely keep it and if something terrible happens,i'll park it in a garage,get another car in the meanwhile and bring it back to life later. no selling,just love. peace
RapiDEraZeR I hope you do if I could I would get the Motegi, but importing and finding one is so pricy lol. U have a del sol that is the needle in the haystack.
Alfredo Robles most well maintained motegi's here cost mostly around 5,000-8,000€. you can always get higher or lower priced ones. i got mine for 4,600€ from a car dealership and it was 2nd hand + a garage car(which it still is). regular del sol's go anywhere from 500-15,000+ depending on what has been done to the car but there's plenty offers on online websites. it's still pretty rare to see one on the street and i freak out every time i see one.
couple of questions breaux 1where did you import the rear/front fog lights from? 2 when you pull the targa sils/sails( not sure of the term) are they just little plastic rivets that hold them in?
In this video I did not have front fogs, but I am assuming the edm aux lights. For the edm aux lights I purchased them on ebay, and the rear was also purchased on ebay. Also the sails I found a guy online who had steps to remove it. Just google "how to remove honda del sol sails" its a tutorial of a red del sol. I guarantee you will break the fragile plastic tabs. They are brittle after 20 years sadly. Its a easy job nonetheless though. Im at work so i cannot forward u links at the moment.
Hey man, I know this video is old so hoping you see this. But the water in your trunk before you fixed it...was it on the bottom or was it exclusively condensation on the underside of the trunk itself? Thanks
What's up Ryan, and after excessive fluid was inside it piled up in the bottom depending on the severity of fluids. Condensation occured when it would dry up inside the trunk. I would reccomend to fix yours asap if its occurring. Also, it can be rear tail light gaskets that can cause it, and that is due to age of the material. If you have anymore questions lmk.
@@ElReySupr3me really appreciate the response man. Mine has been wet on and off since June but it doesn't start until I left a case of water in the trunk that was already filled with condensation. I left the car in a heated garage with all the liners out of the trunk and the trunk open for 2 days. I'm gonna wait and see what happens next but I have heard about the taillights gaskets. So that's my next move. Thanks again
i love your del sol!!! Hey you mentioned that the three plastic especially the one with the overhead brake light are very delicate.. If i were to send to a body shop do you think they would break the plastic trim?
I broke all mine, but fixed it with gorilla glue and it actually worked so I am sure they will fix it. I had a friend who owned a del sol and the body shop did not even remove the sail panels haha. So hopefully your body shop does!
It's fun, man. I love it. no boost yet, but I'd like to! I didn't build it so much for racing as much as just to have a more powerful every day driver. although the skunk2 stage 2 cams and titanium valves work wonders!
Alexander Smith just stop; your car just keeps sounding more and more amazing lol. That's exactly what I want as well a powerful daily. Only because sometimes that extra hp and torque makes life more better haha.
so i live in VA and i have to say i don't have as much of an issue with seals and stuff drying out but they do deteriorate, im lucky to only have one of the common leaks and i was able to get my rear rails off without braking them but i do have another problem, the seal on my rear window is bad so water gets trapped in the rear window housing and there is no where for it to go.It is incredibly annoying to hear water sloshing around and there really isnt much you can do without tearing the whole back end apart. otherwise with the b16a swap i did and other supporting mods, the car is enjoyable and surprisingly roomy for a two door that's not a hatch or coupe. i'm 6'5 and i dont have to much of an issue driving it
Tavikthetank that's great! I wish my seals were as good as yours, and to the water sloshing on teamsolcal someone posted how to stop that water from going in there. Pretty much your drain is clogged so hopefully you find it on teamsolcal; if not I'll probably look for it and post it for you.
Tavikthetank The car is reasonably big my friend who is 7"0 tall fit inside the passenger side and I was amazed. Also it's great that you have a b16 in the del sol. You can really feel the difference compared to a single cam.
Alfredo Robles absolutely, the b16 is a very capable motor and I enjoy it a lot and you hit the nail on the head with the mention that parts from this car and others all fit together. I commonly refer to hondas as adult legos XD also where did you purchase the rear plate with the euro light and the visors?
Alfredo Robles that would be awesome, I've taken it apart once but it was a very big pain in the ass, I must have missed the drains when I did it because it filled right back up
Leaking from the targa seals? To be honest you cant do much about that except get new seals there. I would just go to a junk yard and look for better seals since weatherstripping can't be found brand new anymore unless you got major money to spend.
Alfredo Robles okay. Yeah I was thinking of going to the junk yard to get new panels. It needs a lot of work. But I’ll def look for better seals. It’s around the windows it’s lose and same around the trunk and too
Ace ひ honestly any car is good for a high school student. yet in a standpoint for your age I would say no since you can't really do too much crazy stuff in Hondas compared to rws v8s. So a Honda would be a optimal vehicle for safety and gas.
Alfredo Robles yea...my dad is obsessed with anything Honda made...I really want a del sol as my first car though...we live in Atlanta though and it's only two for sale in the whole state
I have an EDM Del Sol (I live in Portugal) and I don’t think the car is slow, it goes side to side with an Audi A4 3.2 V6 with 265 hp, I mean that’s pretty good
That Audi must have something fucked up ahaha. Or else you got some sort of upgrades because this thing is slow af to me. I got the b16 del slow and yea it's slow to me.
its funny im not that far from Stockton... im about an hour and a half from stockton. Ive gone through 3 del sols over the last 8 years... I'm still on my third one and it's the only one I've ever owned with a b16... the last two where d16... ive been considering of sell it because I'm starting to feel like I've out grown it... but I also feel like if I do sell it, I will regret it in the future... have u ever considered of selling yours and how long have you had it?
alfredochavez1906984 Nice! U have had a lot of del sols. Also I have considered it, but I have invested so much into my sol that I can't let it go. Too many nights, Knicks, cuts, and anger has gone into my car. I would deeply regret selling my car. It also won't sell much since it's at 200,xxx miles. You should list pros and cons for keeping yours sol.
One of my best buds is 7'0, but he was uncomfortable in the passenger seat haha although tbh I would say you should sit in it and see if you fit comfortably.
Hopefully they have it, as del sol parts are now getting hard to find bro. If they do not have the part use black chalk (clay like) to fill the surrounding area with a clay gasket.
@@ElReySupr3me I took the old ones out and put dumb dumb around them and snapped them back in and that worked for a while but now it's wet again from in same area. Thanks for the info.
I have a 1993 Honda Del Sol and every once and a while the brakes fail. I've taken it to Honda and they say there's nothing wrong with my brakes but Damn....the pedal goes down to the floor like there's air in the line...or a leak
molly gonzalez I would recommend to replace all your lines. Once that is done do a proper bleed. It could also be your master brake cylinder Even the metal lines under the car. Safety is a must for your life. I'm surprised honda didn't find out the issue.
Well to be honest I would get the prelude since it has the h22 motor, and that's a 205hp motor. The esi del sol only has the single cam vtec motor, which is slow. Although, it also depends on the condition of the cars. Are they both in good condition?
Lol yea I am from the 209, but I keep my car garaged. Their are too many thieves in Stockton, and I don't want to go to jail over my car lol #glockteam haha
well dude the stuff you mentioned as cons are existant because of the fact that car is 25 years old :) U should drive an old mustang you can feel the ass of the car twisting like 90 degrees. I bet it was a kickass car when it was first released
I have driven an old mustang. My dad owned a 1966 289 mustang for almost 30 years. I would take it out as a teenager and slide it around corners. It definitely twisted in the rear especially with my 2 buddies in the back seat haha. No car is perfect though.
@4:50 No fog in the USA. :D I'd rather say that only the real Honda CRX like the Honda CRX Del Sol got fog lights and this is not a "real" CRX, so it has not fog lights installed by default. It fits, so the hollows don't care. ;)
I was actually showing the Aux lights which every del sol has from 93-95 all over the world. In Europe these aux lights are made of glass due to that country needing brighter lights from a higher chance of fog in those countries.
Unless you are talking about the hole I have underneath than that is made for the fog lights, and they were not available here in the USA as an option I believe don't quote me on that.
For the trunk you need to remove your targa sails and seal the gaskets. I used black chalk as sealant and it worked. I never had the issue inside, but from what I know you need to remove your rear cargo containers. From there I do not know what to do.
Michael Nelson it's what the poor kids are doing. I am just a full time student at a University and working part time. So using expenses to change the aesthetic of my vehicle are currently not a priority. This is my last semester so after this I can begin to do bug changes to the vehicle.
Thats a good car i had it 2 years ago w the dame km but there was to much water inside but no rust anywhere Sold it snd bought the car on the pic,a 92 primera w 53000km 😉
Jose i thought u meant targa top leaks due to the year you introduced. Trunks just depends if items builds up in the tubes to expel water. Also if the seals in the clips go bad. Mine were crusty thus it leaked.
Giannis Ioannidis well usdm are like mine. Japan and other countries had a higher end model that had a automatic targa top that came off with a flick of a switch. It was an option there, not in the good ol USA.
would like nice af w fresh paint job. but at least u can drive ur sol. mines broken and just sitting and taking up space in my garage. #rustyeastcoastprobs
Thank you appreciate it! Well I hope you fix your del sol soon. I recommend teamsolcal.com their are many nice individuals their that will help you with advice on anything on the chasis.
Well mine is a b16, and it does not haul ass too much. A b18 would only be like 15 more hp don't quote me on that though. 15 more hp isnt much, but a fully built b16 or b18 will haul ass with a good tune as well. If you really want to haul ass than I suggest going K!
flowerboy fanboy what is easily repairable? The car itself? Yea it's the same as a civic. This del sol is based on the honda civic EG chassis so it's the same when it comes to everything except exterior, and some interior parts.
To be honest I do not know. You will have to check and see if it has clearance coming out of the area passing the security door. Just research if people have done that. I never researched that myself for this car.
Wow thanks for awesome quick reply i know this video is close to 2 years old! looking at a 93 for a gas car and eventually to build it up and loved your wheel and knob!
pivotchocolate not a problem and a 93 is great to build up on. People usually swap the 93 dash onto del sols since it didn't have air bags. The 93 dash looks cleaner due to it not having the bubble for the air bag. Also thank you and goodluck on your build.
Hey man so I ended up with buying a 93 Del Sol and am having some leaking how do I re-seal that targatop? or should I just try to find a new model targatop and replace mine?
Alex Salazar I don't power lift to lift a single workout once, but I try to consecutively lift heavy weight. I never tried power lifting. do you power lift sir?
Corynn Ferrell hey what's up bro; I actually found my s2000 seats on Craigslist for a low price. typically for a set of s2000 seats u can buy them for 400-800 dollars depending on the color and condition. I say color since some color ways of the leather are more rare, and condition since some are worn and others are not. I bought mine for 350 or 400 can't remember. I got mine for a good deal since my driver side has a 2 inch tear. Goodluck finding some! Also if you get them look up how to pan swap your rails to s2k seats.
I have a Honda Del sol n I need help with ? anyone can comment & keep your bad comments to your self . so the other day as I was driving my Del sol & as I was going up a hill the car lost volocity and didn't want to start .... so as I look under the hood I saw a blew spark plug . ... so I replace them with new ones and the car still won't turn over I was thinking it is my dizzy but I haven't checked that i will this week .... Anyways can anyone help me out here ? thanks :)
Crooks &Castles idk what your talking about except for the end. I would recommend to replace the whole dizzy. it's expensive so maybe you can borrow someone's dizzy that works and see if that helps.
Alfredo Robles thanks bro much appreciated ... btw ur right in every inch of the car 🙌 needs a paint job n what so but other then that your Del sol is sweet brotha thanks again .. :) ..
the dizzy goes out every 100k -110k miles. call O O O Orieleys. give them part number BR549-. should have it in stock. if not heres the ebay page www.ebay.com/itm/Sprouted-10-Mode-Rechargeable-Silicone-Vibrating-Anal-Vibrator-Butt-Plug-Sex-Toy/282909103059?epid=26014510126&hash=item41deb253d3:g:f08AAOSwMxdaq9Mp
