Hello all!

We are using Del Sol on racing. Check our website: http://mallasracing.info (pics, videos...).

Feel free to ask anything concerning the build-up etc if interrested via e-mail / pm. I am loving our sol, altough there are some things which could be better! Weight for example. I do not understand how so small car can be so heavy! :D

You can watch also one video from youtube where i am driving the car on Ahvenisto circuit:

Reinforcement in the A-pillars and B-pillars, IIRC. It's actually kind of a good thing... it's not that heavy.

It's because the car is built like a roll cage. Most convertibles are like that, since they have no fixed roof.

Yes, yes, I know this but it still is suprising in a way. All beams etc. are made using several steel layers.

But like you said chassis is extremely ridig after installing the proper roll cage. It responds all suspension setups extremely well (we sure have proper bushings / suspension also!).

Some people were asking about my gauge cluster aluminum ring kit.
Was looking though ebay and found this.

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/93-97...item43991f2108

Funniest part about it is the picture they use.

first my picture...


Then the picture they are using...


at least I know its not mine cause its been branded "the tuning-shop"

Yeah they just used it, I don't really care. I have had a lot of my photos used without my permission. I tried looking into doing something about it a long time ago and its just too hard and too expensive.

I guess that means now you have to watermark EVERYTHING lol
I mean using it is fine and mentioning "oh its from a customer blah blah" but the way they stole it and put their own water mark was kinda crossing the line. again...maybe its just me.

not like some sellers who use other peoples real stuff to sell either their fake stuff or worse yet...stuff they don't even have.
