I hope you're not serious. I'd much rather see ANY Honda actually get actually driven around a track rather than dressed up in track gear and JDM **** just to be paraded around like a blonde with huge ****.

To the OP: interesting choice, I hardly see del Sol's being used on the track. and they're one of my favorite Honda's as well. When you get that K in there you'll have a fairly unique car...

With the beer's, the thumbs up and the waving smiley, i took it as sarcasm.

Thanks hushypushy. I can't wait to get the K in there. I still have to strip the car down and put in the roll cage and do some seam welding...

You know, the funny thing is that it is JDM styled. Mugen replica bumper. Mugen replica rear spoiler. Real Mugen Sports Type steering wheel, Formula shift ****, Integra 26mm stabilizer bars front/rear, JDM headlights, JDM foglights, JDM cluster, JDM Climate control, JDM maplights, LOL.

I don't understand why "JDM" is hard parking. There's lots of guys with Hondas in Japan that go to track days, LOL. So if you think about it, I'm JDM and hardcore, not a JDM hardcore poser.... But whatever I don't REALLY care. I just wanted to share with you guys. I still think it's a POS sometimes, haha.

well i'm not gonna argue with you on that.. but i rather see a jdm.( stock, clean, nice) than that del sol.... and by the way.. jdm del sols are no use to be on the track... so i don't know where are you getting the issue about a jdm going into the tracks ... jdm are jdm and mods are mods.. what the hell are you talking about???
but for the guy on the black del sol for the track.. dude do whatever you want on it.. you can even put a plane engine on it i do not care.. everything a care is for a del sol owner to care about his ride.. there are not many del sols out there so take care of it..now is becoming a collection car..

Who made you the expert there on JDM, LOL.

What about these actual Japanese del Sols:

http://www.tracksol.net/japdelsols/

Really, JDM is supposed to be about using Japanese only parts, whether they're OEM or aftermarket but only made in Japan. So you with your AEM, DC Sports, Function/Form, D2, PasswordJDM, that's not true JDM so shut up.

JDM as a style is retarded anyway because they started copying us after we started copying them. So it's all just mixed.

Keep on rolling with your stock boring plain look, however hard JDM parkers yo! take pics of me Rodrez Pleaz.

Thanks for liking my car though, although I really don't give a [freak].

like i said ... i'm not going to argue about your ride man.. it looks co; and great.... i reapeat.. you can put a plane engine on it.. and that's cool if you like it...
but a jdm is a jdm and yours is not a jdm is a usdm.. and that's different... so is not abouth your car is about the meaning of jdm and usdm.. we have udsm models not jdm models.. you know that very well, but still thinking that del sol will look better on a jdm lover that a usdm fanatic...
but like i said got no problem with your ride looks cool.. the same way you want to share your car with us ... the same way expect different comments about your ride.

by the way i own a del sol and have not promblem saying that is a usdm.. it does not matter what mods i have done on it. but still a usdm..

And even "USDM" del sols were made in the Suzuka plant, you know, the same one that made NSX's and S2000. They're just made LHD with US spec safety and then shipped over. So really, and del Sol is more "JDM" than your POS civic, LOL.

It's JupiterDM, JalopyDM, JackassDM, USJDM, I-don't-give-a-flying-[freak]-DM, even though I never called it JDM in the first place, you did.

to you too

yea i know it was loaded with JDM parts but your actually using it on a road course. a lot of people just like the JDM bling and park it to look sick. Thats what this tool sorullo is talking about he'd rather see a clean JDM car with a bunch of parts thrown on it and not used than a JDM built car on a track..why cause hes a noob. Your ***** clean even with the paint the way it is, and its built to how you like it, and thats all that matters, glad to see a sol on the track.

Thanks everyone for you comments. Being "JDM" has never been my "goal". I buy what I like and if it happens to be a JDM item, then so be it.

I sort of like the all blacked out look, so I MAY paint the whole car satin black, but then I'd be like I'm copying Skunk2 or that one NSX time attacker, but I'm still going to tear her down and still paint her.

I'll still take her to the track though, LOL.


@ rSol93
The Mugen bumper is the only bumper I've ever liked. I've never really liked the Aux lights on the stock bumper. The only other alternative for me would be the 96-97 bumper with a TypeR style lip on it, but I still like the Mugen style better. Plus Mugen actually tests their aero parts in a wind tunnel to check the cd, frontal area and downforce production. I actually gained 10mph top speed with this bumper alone.....

@starion99esir
It's kinda hard to get the proof now since I don't have access to two different 6 mile bridges and an additional 5 mile bridge anymore like I did when I was in Tampa. Guess you'll have to just take my word for it for know until I have the capability to do it again. I'll need to get a stock bumper as well to compare cuz I sold mine after I installed the new one.
