haha i've seen those in person, they look real from a distance but you can tell they're fakes when you get like 3 feet away.

Okay so it's been a while since my last update but I've been pretty busy. I bought a second del sol to flip and sell.


And I finally got new tires for my blades.


Now for some bad news. I got laid off last Friday due to a new company taking over. So now both my car and the second del sol have to be put on hold until I can get a steady incom again :/

lol sorry man, i have everything to flip it other than the the engine rebuild kit. the car really just needs a good cleaning, some body work and fresh paint. i was going to rebuild my old d series and put it in since the motor in it right now has a rod thrown through the block. now that i dont have work i can work on it. i may even start another build thread for that sol.

LSV should be a nice edition. DW about what people are saying about how your car looks, while I hate fogged tail lights, blacked headlight housings and sht mesh grills, you dont need to make your car look like one of those *** machine honda's that are everywhere. I know you siad you were taking the grill out but the mud flaps look kinda cool and unique, and I think your 99-00 fog swap looks decent too!

Haha! No, I meant help you find another job. What's your location? What's your field? Maybe there's somebody local who has a lead.

Althought...if anyone's handing out free suspension bits, let me know...

Car looks great. I hate when people down someone Bc they customize there car the way they want it. They really hate it when people hate when it's not "Jdm". F*** Jdm.

Good luck bro.

Well its been a while since I posted on here so I figured I'd give you guys an update. I decided to go back to school and I'm currently taking classes to become a certified Master Honda Technician.

I'm still currently unemployed, but hopefully that's going to change soon.

I haven't really done a whole lot with the car except drive it. On the 15th the odometer rolled over to 200k. I have put 50k on it since I bought it and about 7k on the new swap.


I also got a PasswordJDM shift **** and made a new shift boot and e-brake cover.

Just kidding. That's pretty great, and good luck with it!

so i found a 97 bumper :D picked it up for $40. the paint is chipping by the emblem but that doesn't matter since I'm gonna be repainting the car later. i pretty much just test fitted it to make sure it fits right.

Also, I finally found what I want the exterior of my car to look like when its finally done. Pretty much the one in the bottom pic but with gsr blades and with the 97 del sol fog lights.

Alright so i havent poseted in a while so heres an update. I finally got my coilovers! Went with Function Form Type Ones.





Swapped out the type r lip for a garden edging lip and added plasti dip eyebrows because i was bored one day lol. more than likely I'll swap it back this lip keeps scraping when i pull out of my driveway







Also added a 22mm type r rear swayabar and new rear lower control arms.

22 is pretty bold without a subframe reinforcement man. I would consider getting one just for the peace of mind.
