DD is lowered, but the springs haven't quite settled all the way yet. Was gonna let them settle, but james is a pushy little bastard, so here you go:



I probably won't go much lower because then the wheels tuck too much and it looks like a sunken ship. Rides incredibly nice though

Need a front lip and a few cans of duplicolor lol

Was sooooo smooth By the way I would say it was more of an 8/10 on the boobie richter scale, especially on your dirt road

I don't have a garage and I still keep my car clean. It seems that everyone I know who has a garage uses it for storage and drives around in their dirty cars, haha.

You're the exact opposite of James. He'll talk all day about how much better Greece is then the US and you'll tell everyone how much worse you've got it in AZ. Whats the temp there right now btw? Because its a "balmy" 54* out today....and yes that counts as warm right now, haha. I think I might go do one last mini-shoot today before the weather goes completely to crap. Still no lip, stupid Fed-Ex is crap.

And it's not that AZ is worse, oh no way we have some of the most scenic roads in the country, and it's always warm...just not a whole lot out here but dirt and two cities

Well,... it's not my fault we gave the world pretty much everything. We were just around 4000 years longer than the states thats all.

Poor Ian is just sad that he lives in a Rota town in the middle of Indiana.

oh trust me, i have no love for engineering or school for that matter. the only reason im in engineering right now is because ROTC is paying for me to do that major... and no i dont want you closer to me james, i like women!!

DD looks good lane, but goddamn paint that bumper!!! geez man, that was the first thing i did on my edm rear panel after i installed it

and you guys probably dont want to know the temp here... 70 which is THE PERFECT TOPOFF weather, because 85 is a little too warm for me and you will need sunscreen for that AZ sun

wow... ive been on H-T for a while now... and never noticed this thread... haha

well this is my 1995 del sol S. i got it when i turned 16 for $4,000. i thought it was a good deal since there is literally NO rust whatsoever, which was kinda wierd cuz i got the car in Ohio... where there are a lot of hicks pouring salt all over the roads in the winter. but only one other person has owned this car besides me and he was 70 years old when he sold the car to the dealership i got it from. apparently it was garaged (since there really isnt any rust). i got my license suspended like 3 months after i was able to drive it because i got expelled from school for a year... so there she sat in my garage for a year... i actually didnt touch the car when it was just sitting there, didnt have a job at the time because i was stuck with insane community service hours so i couldnt even buy anything to put on my car. actually i DID put in a cd player that i got for christmas, hah. well during the summer of my 17th year of age, i put on some suspension including KYB AGX adjustable gas shocks and Omni Power coilovers and lower control arms, i had also came by some Rota Group N wheels that i liked a lot and got some new Azenis to wrap those suckas up in. a friend of mine with a del sol si totaled his sol so i made him sell me his z6! after i swapped out the d15b for the z6, i started collecting parts for my turbo setup! (i also acquired a carbon fiber hood sometime in this period). and for the turbo setup... i chose to go with a precision t3/t4 SC61 dual ball bearing turbo (because of my plans to build in the future... and yes im sure i want to stay with single cam, so dont bother with telling me to swap a B or anything else for that matter into it please) i chose to go with a chipped ecu from phearable.net running on &lt;crome&gt;. i picked up some precision 580cc injectors, a precision front mount, an ACT 6 puck (HDR6), a tial 38mm wastegate, neukin.com turbo manifold, neukin.com downpipe, neukin.com 3" dumptube, made the ic piping myself with the help of alex from neukin.com for the welds, HighTempSilicone couplers and clamps, never really found out what kind of blow off valve i have, just picked it up off a friend for $50 that had never even used it... but hey, its works! the exhaust is just 2.5" mandrel bent stainless steel piping with no cats or resonators, to some off brand but very good 2.5" straight thru turbo muffler i picked up at a local exhaust shop. the car was tuned in cincinatti at Zerolift Autolab by Dave Blunder (known as Blundar on H-T). It made 227.8whp and 177.9ft/lbs of torque @ 8.2psi. (that made me happy, since my engine is just a bone stock z6 boosted). and it took me till about 5 months ago for me to get this far... im pretty damn happy with her for now, but i know ill want her even faster soon enough. oh and did i mention i also picked up a set of powdercoated gloss black gs-r fat fives and some yokohama yk420 tires for my daily driver wheels...

i really didnt mean to write that much... sorry about that...

here she is






^^^all before i boosted it^^^






^^^current-ish^^^
