Which cars out there can I look foward to beating? and which to loosing to?

96 SOHC VTEC

Oh lord.

hy hey, I know its not real fast........

I just curious........

I tuned a friends VTEC Delly a few times, it's got a bunch of bolt ons, and it's pretty quick. One thing that sucks is the weight, I have an Si hatch, and it's heavy, but his car is even heavier, and with a 1.6, there is little torque. Recently he added an 80 shot and is happy w/it. Most of the hybrid hatches will probably be able to take you on the street and freeway. I highly suggest working on the valve train/cams, in order to take advantage of the high revving B16. As far as what you'll be able to beat, hard to say, if you're a good driver, and the delly is running good, should be able to beat most lightly modded SOHC civics, and some Integ's. good luck

It's not about how fast your car is. It's about how good of a driver you are!

people often believe del sols are light. they're not

lol
lets put it this way
learn how to drive before you start racing.

Just keep getting used to you'r car and practice launching once you become a good driver you 'will you will be able to find out for you'r self wich cars you can beat .

Mr. Thunderlips

Great...Another kid who revs on people at every single stoplight.

A-*******-men.

Thank you for a sensible opinion on this issue, Rudy. No, they're not as light as a CX hatch, but they're also just a tad heavier than an Si hatch.

Whoever said that they should just about beat a lightly modded SOHC......what the **** are you smoking?? A del Sol VTEC will rip and SOHC VTEC w/bolt ons a new *******, provided you can drive worth a ****.

Get real people, please.

well, you can beat my teg, but only for another week til i get my b20 dialed in hehe.

What's that guy up there talking about us kids revving at everyone at stoplights. Does he have any idea how old we are?

stevecockrill

What's that sonny? I don't have my hearing aid turned on......

BTW, is it a DOHC VTEC or a SOHC VTEC???

Steve

what, the b20? Its a DOHC NO-vtec. Just brute tork haha. Then i'm gonna go out and "rev" on all those "kids" out there in there sewing machine engines.

Hash Browns

The Delsol VTEC 1994+ are slightly lighter than the 99-00 Civic Si's. Both models are equipped with B16A motors. The 94-95 Delsol use B16A3, OBD-I motors, which will be slightly more friendly to modifications than the B16A2 OBD-II motor found in 96-97 Delsol VTEC's and 99-00 Civic Si's. All Delsol VTECs weigh less than the 99-00 Civic Si, with the most significant difference being between the 94 Delsol VTEC and others. The 94 Delsol VTEC is the lightest of the bunch. Basically, if a 99-00 Civic Si can keep up or 'beat' another car, the Delsol VTEC should be equally, if not more, capable.

i have a del sol engine in my si hatch, it pulls pretty well.

focus on the easy kills first like school busses and trash trucks untill you get your skillz up .

I think Sterling should say which VTEC (V-TECH) motor he has. There is a big difference in the SOHC VTEC compared to the DOHC VTEC.

Mr. Thunderlips

I actually wasn't refering to you, this post seems as if it was started by a kid. The question of "how fast is my new car" seems like something a kid would ask who just got his first car. Just FYI, I'm basically your same age...

I believe there are three del sol versions. The "s", the "Si" and the "del sol vtec"

amen

well with a Del Slow ,you can expect to beat a civic with non-vtech, andyou can expect to get beat buy everything else even a honda crv and rav-4

Can you complete a sentence without an obscenity? Actually, can you complete a sentence at all?

A bolt-on SOHC VTEC in the right chassis (with a lot of chassis lightening and good tires) can destroy a Del Sol VTEC stock.

There are no absolutes. It can be done. Grow up, and go wash your mouth out with soap.
