Re: del Sol Owner's Club Thread v 2.0!
ok so i got a huge problem. randomly my car will be running good then randomly the RPMs will stutter then the car will shut off. ill try to start it and it will start and not even a second later jump up to 1200 and just shut off. ill let it sit for a couple seconds withthe key off and start it and it will be fine. but its been doin it lately randomly. at first i thought it was my JDM P30 that fried. so i through my usdm p30 in and it ran good then one day it did it. so i replaced my injectors and didnt do it for a week then did it twice today within a 3hr timeframe. i cant think of wat it could be. it my be coincidental but it seems to be ever since i put my Field sfc/vtec controller in. but everything is wired up right. PLEASE HELP!

I just got my picture from RockStorePictures.com
This is a guy who every weekend is up at "The Snake" on Mulholland Hwy. taking pics.
This is the first pic that I have bought from him. He is a really cool guy, he even has water there for you if you stop and talk with him.

Re: del Sol Owner's Club Thread v 2.0!
Woohoo no more manual locks for my Sol. I installed this keyless entry kit I bought on eBay. It works good so far and was pretty easy to install. It was originally wired up for a 4 door car, but I did a little wire cutting & extending, and soldering and now it's perfect.
Shame on Honda for giving me power windows, power mirrors, cruise control, but no power locks.

I mounted the reciever under the center console since there's a nice big spot underneath it.
There was previously some sort of alarm that didn't even work so I unwired it and kept the switch so I can use it to lock & unlock the door from the inside. It's mounted below the steering wheel near to the fuse panel. It's easy to reach and not out in the open.
Actuator was pretty simple and easy to install. There was already 2 holes in the door so I just screwed it on to those and it fit perfectly.

I attached the red positive wire directly to an empty slot on the inside fuse box since it had 10-12volts whether the car was on or off. The keyless receiver has a built in 7.5amp fuse so no need to do anything extra. I had a female connecter lying around so I used that with the positive wire so it plugs in and out very simple. For the ground wire I just screwed it onto a metal part that the dashboard bolts up to.

Switching to a better grade of unleaded will not hurt your motor in any way. It might hurt your wallet, but not your motor.
There are some good write ups on the web in regards to the different octanes and which will work best in your car.
Search around and I'm sure you'll find more info then you want to read.
I hope that clears it up a little.

Someone please correct me if I'm wrong, but from my understanding all fuel except some race gas is unleaded.

Before & After:
First day home 2/9/2010
Currently 4/1/2010
Can't wait till next month because this bad boy is getting a fresh coat of Captiva Blue Pearl!!!

I own a '93 Del Sol Si, bone stock, besides the pistons are bored to the max size, and I have a question about shifters or shift *****...I figured this thread might be able to help me out.

Re: del Sol Owner's Club Thread v 2.0!
hey guys, a friend of mine is making duplicates of the old school "happy bar." some of you might remember when these were produced several years ago. they mount using the two main seatbelt bolts plus 4 additional bolts on the rear firewall to prevent rotation. if interested, contact imotorsports@yahoo.com.
