New member and CRX DEL SOl owner saying Hi!

[spannerman]

Hi I am Mick,
Recently purchased a CRX DEL SOL VXI auto (and a spares car too), a car I know nothing about (mr2s are my usual bag), and thought this would be a good place to find useful knowledge.
Please be gentle if I ask what you see as obvious questions, like I say im new and I still believe everyday can be a school day.

Thanks for the welcome Andy.
The VXI is the standard sohc 1.5 import. I also have an ESI uk 1.6 as a spares car, however I don't have the headlights for both cars.

Although the last of the CRX range didn't sell in great numbers over here, at least there's lots of JDM parts suppliers and breakers. I was surprised at the amount when I had my R33 GTR, pretty much anything was available even at my main Nissan dealership! If you're having difficulty JDM imports will source your parts in Japan for you. http://www.jdmgarageuk.com/ Paul and the team are an excellent company and very knowledgeable on everything JDM

Thanks again for the welcome. Also for the contact , its not one I have used before, which is something in itself as I have not been without a Japanese car for the last 25yrs lol.
With this search however its not so much as shortage of parts , like I say I have a spares car, but my dilemma is whether or not the uk headlights will fit, as a direct swap, onto the import CRX DEL SOl. The headlights on my import have been repaired at the lugs, and although useable are not ideal . I have tried searching this and other forums for a definitive answer and found nothing.

Finally got my parts car delivered. I can answer my own question now , and hopefully anybody else who wondered the same. UKDM lights fit directly onto import del sols.
So now I am road legal I will put some shots up of my projects.
