Good man. Darksol drilled into mine over in the L corner It kinda screws up my otherwise miny interior, but its not really that noticeable; definitely not worth doing a dash swap for.





Wray: i think i have finally figured out what i want as far as Ksports, you think i should just paypal voiceofid asap?

P.S. does anyone know the OEM del Sol VTEC spring rates?

Theres apparently already a stroker kit that increases K24 displacement to 2.7 liters. Thinner sleeves and overbored pistons could get displacement up a little more, perhaps not 3.0 square, but close enough. It sounds like it could work...

My knowledge of K's is very very limited especially concerning the internals. I'd just be happy with a regular old K20-R.

Well I'm off to bed - happy whoring!

I dont get out of school til May 4th so there: i gotta fit all my sol improvements in on the weekends.

And more about Eibach, as much as id love to go, i dont think i will have the money, nor be able to fit it into my schedule, but if it turns out i can, then i will be down for that cannonball run from VI to Eibach

Either blame El Nino, or Miko: Global Warming is a big crock of **** made up by the government.
BTW, Someday i plan to live in your desert paradise; id much rather deal with heat than cold, which is why i dont go home, and work on my Sol in the freezing wet cold.

As for the desert paradise, well I would rather be living in Phoenix right now due to the higher rates of theft. They have a lot better organization when it comes to traffic management and the roads are a bit better. Not to mention half of my friends are up there. However, their college basketball team blows and there is a lot of culture here in Tucson so I'll be here for a little while longer
