Re: del Sol Owner's Club Thread v 2.0!
Lurker here, finally posting. I've owned a number of hondas in the past but mainly I've stuck to euros. This Sol has been in my family for the past 10 years, and this spring talk cropped up about trading it in on something newer... so I ended up picking it up from them as a second car.
It's a '93 S with 160k. Mechanically it's been pretty well taken care of, but cosmetically it has seen better days, and the suspension was all original(read: worn). Since this car has always been the trusty backup when I've had car trouble in the past, or needed to make a parts run, I decided it was finally time to give the ol' girl a little TLC.
Did a little research on here and this is what I've done in the past two weeks: new axles, '91 Civic EX Sedan master cyl, full integra front brake/knuckle setup, all new fluids, Blox upper control arms(front), Blox LCAs(rear), Koni Yellows, H&R Race, Energy suspension poly bushings, and 15x6 steels with 195/45 Federals.
Bodywork is next, as you can see from a few of the pics, I've already started. If you would even call it that. Once its done I'll be doing a budget (driveway) respray in either a hot rod flatz color or tried-and-true satin black. Most likely the latter as I'm recently unemployed and probably shouldn't be f**cking around with non-essentials, haha. Anyways, pics.
Because I'm 6'4" and no one ever believes I fit in it:
I'll probably bring it up a perch in a month or so, but I'm loving it completely hammered for the time being. It's like driving a childs toy on the freeway. It's dangerous. It's retarded. I love it.

Re: del Sol Owner's Club Thread v 2.0!
So.....
I've had my GF for 2 years now (practically lives with me) - small white, petite thang, cooks for me, always been good to me.
I go away on vacation for a week, come back and something just doesn't seem right . I asked my roommate if he had seen anything happen with my GF and he acts clueless.
So fast forward to 3 weeks later... I'm coming home from work when bam clear as day right in my kitchen I catch my roommate red handed with his meat in my GF.
I was PISSED, told him to get his meat out of GF and get the **** out, needless to say my GF got turned off. I just couldn't get over it and last night kicked my GF to the curb.
Now two days after the incident and that I've been without my GF and about 2 minutes ago my jackass roommate had the audacity to ask my how my GF was. He's the damn reason we aren't together anymore.
Should I get off the computer and start swingin on him or tell him to pack his **** and be on his way?
Heres pics of my GF for you guys cuz i know you'll ask.

Re: del Sol Owner's Club Thread v 2.0!
It's unfortunate, that all the money you put in a car and you don't get close to what your asking. Fact of life! But the way to do it, is to part out! Put it back to stock if you can, you actually get people interested, and you can make some coin back by parting!
Good luck with the sale, hope you do get close to what your asking!
