Its not always both, if its kinda minor, its probly just the valve seals. But not if its burning alot. Rings suck to change. Might as well get forged internals while your at it if ya have the money, cuz its all gotta come out anyways. Or you can just do like i did for my d15b7 and forget about adding oil someday and be like "oh crap i didnt add any oil last week, i better stop and get a quart!" Then get a quart.... and go in and buy another quart.... then swear and go in and buy another quart, finally 3 quarts later, drive off and keep zingin it to redline lol --(it was just a b7, i wouldnt try this at home with your vtec motors folks)

aren't hose a PIA to replace too? or are you planning to pop the head for work anyways?

 

My sol burns oil too. Get's annoying have to add quarts (singular) of oil at a time. Oh well 155k and still running strong. I think it's even the original clutch.

On an interesting side note I saw 4 del sols around my school today within about 30 seconds of each other, but all stock One had one of those gay jdm learner driver things in the windshield, and the guy drives like an idiot. Figures

Nothing like puking when you have nothing in your stomach, and more **** being fucked up. New problem with the sol is positive camber on the passenger side, that and scraping something down there at low speeds (not wheel related).

It never ends

Oh and btw i checked vulcantire, and tirerack, and tirerack beat vulcantire's price on Kumho MX, even without my discount. Thats what i want so thats all the info i bothered to gather tho.

I would buy Yokohama ADVAN neovas, but they say they need to be stored/used above 17 deg. F (-10C for you foriegners) and my garage sure as hell isnt heated (though i wish it was)

 

Wow Ian that looks really good, it definately looks much better than before

 

also check out http://www.edgeracing.com for good tire deals. for the tires i'm about to get they are better buy $10 total than the http://www.vulcantire.com

try this again since the ****** stacked up the pages

i just had one done like 6 weeks ago tops. they said back was fine and the front toe was bad and adjusted that only. wouldnt the camber and not the toe affect that worn bad on the inside? the shop didnt say anything about the tires when I had it in there and I didnt check the inside of the tires for awhile thinking they were ok. the backs are a tad negative camber and are worn even all the way across. i think the front is from the ball joint stud from when i bottom on softer springs? but now that i looked at them more, it does seem worn out from bad alighment

Im a huge sohc turbo fan myself! Ive been giving it a lot of thought for my del sol,but I tend to beat the **** out of my car,so a basic B-series swap with bolt ons will be better long-term wise for me.

Yeah i hear you: im afraid to screw up my b16 and ive been holding back on any big potentially engine destroying mods, but now thats all thats left to do til i have my engine basically right where i want it.

 

But my goals in the end are more like somewhere between 400 and 450 hp.
