1993 Del Sol Si and 1995 Del Sol S

It aint bad...apparently it is super rare or something like that. I just like it because it came with the car and is easily able to be welded into the car. Also gives me a template to go from should I want to build a beefier one later on down the road if I get more into track events. For now though I am just gonna weld it in so it is a bit more functional :thumbup:

I am also gonna make some custom strut bars and have them powdercoated the color of the cusco bar. Call me a ricer, but it should look pretty nice.

 

Anyone notice anything different about my daily driven del sol auto? (here's a hint, it's not the JDM front bumper )



Dropped on some Tein Super Streets that I picked up for $150 w00t!

 

^wow great deal!!

 

Oh you know it bro, they got posted at maybe 2am on a local import forum, and I had got them a week later when I could drive half way across the state to pick them up. They ride absolutely perfect for my daily driving fun, and they were cheap so I can't complain :thumbup:

 

nice Del sol and nice CTR wheels

 

They're actually HX wheels painted white. I sold them a while back and bought me a set of Slipstreams since I'm not cool enough for SW338s

 

Wow thats crazy, I honestly thought they were 96' Spec ITR wheels, but that requires ITR axles and stuff. They did look great. Anyway, best of luck with both rides!!:thumbup::thumbup:

 

haha thanks bro. Funny thing is they could have been 96 spec ITR wheels since you can use those axles with a B16 tranny, and a del sol model did come with a B16 (first appearance of a DOHC VTEC motor here in the states). Anywho, I am loving the black on black look even though the project car doesn't run at the moment. On the other hand the automatic daily driver refuses to quit

 

Side note, the NSX was the first DOHC VTEC honda stateside, the 92' Integra GS-R was second. The del Sol VTEC wasn't until 94'. Why isn't the toy running?

 

oh shoot, I got the quote wrong from wikipedia...del sol was the first appearance of the ever-popular B16 here in the states. d'oh!

The toy aint running because it has a spun bearing in cylinder 2 in the minime that is in it. I guess you could say it runs, it just consumes oil and coolant and is a giant waste of time to rebuild that motor. I am just gonna throw a JDM B16A in the car and be done with it

 

Ah no worries dude! Best of luck with the project and the daily.

 

haha thanks bro! Just making the daily look clean on the outside so I don't look like a broke mofo when I roll up somewhere. The project is just gonna be insane though...if you guys wanna wait around a few years to see it that is
