Hmm.. I'm seriously thinking about buying this del Sol...
Found a 1995 del Sol Si B16 VTEC, 154k miles, black.
Talked to him on the phone and seems like the car is in good condition and reliable.
Good paint, no fade/oxidation, starts everytime, runs well, idles fine, no grinds, no pop outs, everything works, etc...
Looks like its lowered an inch all around, has a ricer exhaust on it, headers, intake, cheap aftermarket 16" wheels, but other than that, completely stock.
Hes asking $3500, but said he'll possibly take $3200. What do you guys think?

Depends on what you're going for.
If you want a meaty sidewall and an accurate speedometer -- 195/55
If you want a wider tread patch and an almost accurate speedometer - 205/50
If you want it to be a little lower and have less sidewall -- 195/50

Looked like a great time @ Thunderhill..wish I could go there :sigh:
How many people were running with you in your session?
Oh and IMO your car begs for 15x7-7.5 w/ 225 45 new RS 3's or 225 RSS C51 series R compounds

well the VTEC model comes with a B16 which has a higher redline...8200 and goes all the way to 9500
the 7200 (that goes to 8500) is for the single cams that come in the S or Si model
I have a tach that redlines at 6800 that might be from an auto or something?
