Hey bro. I just came to visit Honda-Tech for the first time in almost a year... Looking for pictures for my friend because he wants a Del-Sol. Let me say, I'm impressed with the craftsmanship that you have put into this build. Guarantee when it's all done, and you jump in to fire her up for the first time.. You are going to get a feeling inside you that you've never felt before. Please keep us updated like you have been and I will come back to check out how she came out.

Were you going to continue to keep it NA or eventually go the FI route?

Its been turbo for a while, this build up is just switching stuff out for better quality parts and a setup focused on autocross and road racing.

hey whats up will. I have been worrying about the balance. But from the amount of rust removed im assuming its an improvement. Flakes of rust were all over it and many could be removed just by brushing it with your hand.
