R.I.P. Juan.
Dsoc will miss you.

 

Its been a long time since I posted in this thread considering work consumes the majority of my life but I have to say regardless of never meeting Juan, the dude was a real inspiration. He kept his head up after his car was stolen and worked his *** off to get it to the beautiful piece of machinery it is today. I used to check in all the time to see updates of his car and how it was coming along and being someone that had his Del Sol stolen aswell I had sort of a vested interest in seeing how his would turn out. Unfortunately I was never able to meet Juan and from reading everyones posts on NWP that did I really missed out. Its hard to say you will miss someone that you never met before but I started posting in this thread years ago and seems like you get to know everyone and it just hurts like I lost a family member of my own. RIP Juan, Sickest Captiva Sol I have ever seen and a major inspiration for my Sol.

r.i.p JUAN!

 

Ok just turbo'd my jdm b16a, basic t3/t4 setup 440cc injectors but i tried to get away without upgrading my feul pump so my car runs like poop it seems to be missing when i get to 3k rpms. when i upgrade my feul pump what should i go with

 

sorry to hear about our fallen del sol owner, my condolences go out to his family and friends im sure he was a outstanding guy..

 

Juan was a good man, knew him all through high school and afterwards as well. Not your normal kid, he was such a great man and he will be missed. He was so smart and nice and had tons of potential... I couldn't believe when I read his facebook that this happened. He did not deserve to go, but regardless he will be missed by more than he ever could have imagined.

 

heres some pics of my car how she sits today, last night my friend and I went to our other friend's shop down in ft lauderdale area i believe, we installed new koni shocks, blox coilovers, rear brake pads and rotors also finally my wheels and tires were thrown on as well please enjoy the pics!



more pics to come stay tuned!!

So is a Mini-me swap worth it? I have a 93 S, and found 2 different heads one is a D16Z6 that includes the valve cover and vtec solenoid for $125. The other is a D16y8 no valve cover or vtech solenoid for $100.

I am leaning towards the Z6 since it is more complete.

I know I need to change my timing belt and will do the water pump at the same time. Should I replace the ECU or get mine flashed? What else should I do? (other than the obvious gaskets.)

 

Rest in peace.
I just met him at Eibach and he seemed like a good dude.
So sad to hear.

 

Saveasol... If u know what ur doing yes mini-me is worth it

 

who is going to the east coast meet ? in richmond VA ? i'll be there with ALOT of cars from the TRI STATE NJ,NY,PA

 

Stupid question and i'll probably get flamed for it but...
can these substitute the lower fog grommets on the sol?

I thought they look pretty similar but i could be wrong.

 

they look like aobut the same shape. the angle and size may be different though.

 

Looking nice man When you have some extra cash you should get the front and rear mudflaps

I recently bought a set and they look pretty nice.

 

r.i.p fellow soler...

 

RIP Juan

Great trip. You're right great problems make for great adventures and that seemed like quite the adventure. I would've loved to have gone to Eibach.

R.I.P. Juan.

 

im trying to install my front camber arms..and i cant separate the stock upper arm from the rest of the suspension...ugh any tips??

 

bought them brand new on eBay for $75 shipped. It was even in the original Honda box when it arrived

 

This is for all my boosted solers, do you need a resister box for a 94 sol and what's the deal with low and high impedence injectors. Anyone with a boosted sol please help me out. What injector setup are you using?

Im asking because I baught a set of lucas 440cc saturated injectors from clean-injection and my car runs like crap when i put them in, so i have been just running the stock ones on literaly no boost. my car hasnt been tuned and does not have a base map yet so im sure thats one of the reasons it runs crappy but with the 440's in, I can even get past 3k rpms. any help would be awsome
