Default Re: del Sol Owner's Club Thread v 2.0!

So I need to replace my exhaust. Right now there is a crappy ebay can muffler welded on to the midpipe. I have a stock muffler that I would like to use, but would rather not have to weld it on.

I am going to need a midpipe to replace the cut and welded one on the car. Since Sols are really rare around here (at least in the junk yards) is there any way to use a midpipe from another honda like maybe a EG hatch?

The only Sol I found in a junk yard had the midpipe cut cus they removed the cat the easy way.

Unfortunately, you do not understand waveform or wave propagation.
I will just say that the wave of a 40 hertz wave is over 14 feet. If you are as close to the speaker as you are in that instance, there is no room for the wave to propagate correctly before it reaches the listener.
The trunk is a great place to put a sub in a del sol because its so far away also the bass waves are sub auditory, meaning you feel them. thus having them in the trunk doesn't effect them much.

love the T-K though.

oo snap, getting all scientific of me but yea a trunk is a good spot if you have a bigger sub and depending on the vehicle, i tried putting the one i have in the trunk in between the trunk wall and my rear strut bar and it doesnt hit as hard

I don't drag race, you half-wit. I auto-x.

Explain to me how I want to be cool? By not following trends? By not caring what anyone thinks of my car? If not caring if you're cool is cool ... then I guess I'm the mother****ing Fonz'.

Default Re: del Sol Owner's Club Thread v 2.0!

This question is directed at those who owned Del Sols that have been auto-to-manual swapped. I own a 93 Del Sol automatic and will be converting it to stick in about a week and half during spring break for my swap. My only question has to do with the 5 speed pedals from a Del Sol and Civic (I own a manual EG hatch too) I noticed when looking at the online dealership the Del Sol's 5 speed pedal assembly has a different part number than a Civic's. I doubt there a a huge difference in them, but if i need to buy the assembly from a Sol I would like to know now rather than get a Civic one and find out it is way too different. Anyone?

So a technical driving course is boring .... but driving in a straight line is super challenging and eventful?

For reference, a Sol doing Auto-X.
