Is it worth putting in a K20a2 in a Sol? For speed and leaving it stock for daily driving?

It's definately up there as one of my favorite Sol's. I'd been slowly looking backwards at the owners thread; and was surprised to be browsing through a different appearance thread "eibach" i believe, and noticed it with a Mugen bumper. Didn't think it had been posted up in here. I actually thought it had looked amazing with the stock aux light bumper; but I wanted to see full body shots with the new setup!

dammit! I just swapped the new motor in, only to find out the shifter fork is somehow stuck. I managed to get the slave cylinder on, but clutch drops to the floor and doesn't come up. FFFFFUUUUUU

The K series is still way too expensive for me. If it's a project I'd say go for it but if it's a DD just get a B. You won't feel as bad when it gets stolen.

I've had my sol dohc vtec for about 3 years and since I'm selling my other Honda I think its about time I dumped some money into the sol. If anyone has pics of clean simple sols please post them I need to get some ideas going.

I'll comment before somebody flames you...

#1: This is not the thread to post something like this in, make a thread in the Civic/Del Sol forum.

#2: You need to do a whole heck of alot of research before you even think about boosting something. If you have to ask what to do, you don't need to think about doing it until much later in your automotive career. This is coming from somebody who has actually torn an engine apart, torn a car apart and has actually boosted a vehicle before, unlike many who just read magazines and do nothing more than talk. It's alot of work and alot of money. Read and learn and start small.

Are you able to buy the plastic peices where the Fog lights go in for the 96-97 bumper? or do you guys usually take them off when you install the Fog lights? - Thanks.

I cut my first one out to fit around the fog, then realized that you cant see it at all and left the second one intact.
even in bright light you cant tell its there.

I appoligies for posting in the wrong thread, i guess i was under the wrong impression that this was a thread where you talked about Del Sol's. I'll admit i dont know hardly anything about doing even simple mods. I will try to find the wright place to ask for some help and guidance next time. but i appreciate your advice anyway.

/QUOTE]

Yes but what I was saying is that you can't tell if they are there or not and in the case you want to pull your fogs for some reason you will no longer have the plastic and will have to get new ones.
That's why I was saying you don't have to use them, and why I suggest not.

Got my interior all finished and complete tonight! You know what i'm talking about jon

I'm very happy with the way it came out, with a set of jdm speaker grilles and all the necessary switches to fill the holes, it looks good. I fixed the little cracks in the door handles and it looks like new (talk ****, but crazy glue works miracles ). Hopefully i'l get some pics this weekend.

SEM Landau black also looks like it did well on the couple things i needed to color change, we'll see how it lasts.
