whats up everyone? well first i would like to say that i have been lurking on this site for a couple of years now. but here is where i stand in my 1993 Del Sol progress:

i have a B18C1 swap done to it. 2 yrs ago i rebuilt the motor and then 2 wks later i spun a couple bearings. My fault for buying cheap parts. so i let the car sit until then and ordered some parts. well back in Dec. i had the motor sent to the machine shop and they rebuilt the bottom end for me. i installed an Eagle crank shaft, Type R pistons and rods that are shot peened and balanced with ARP bolts. as far as the top end goes all i have is a Skunk 2 intake manifold, Megan headers, and an intake with NGK plugs, MSD wires. my plans are to build the car for fun. not, strip, auto or road course. but im sure ill do some track time and maybe some auto. but its going to be a daily driver. my main focuse right now is suspension and brakes.
i already have Tokico shocks with Tein springs. i want to know what you think of the following upgrades:

SS brake lines
SS clutch line
Hawk pads
blank rotors
Sway bars (no brand in mind)
Full energy suspension bushing kit (not sure with model i need to buy for)

Also here is a list of other parts i have bought or installed:
JDM headlights
JDM Visors
JDM map lights
JDM licines plate filers
New carpet kit including floor mats
New OEM Seals for the top with anti rattle kit
Polk speakers installed in stock locations
Full interior redone
3% tint all the way around
New ant
17' wheels
Mugen shifter
B & M SS
MOMO Steering wheel

parts that i bought just waiting to get installed:
Hondata S200
Omni power 68mm TB
GSR Brake swap with 15/16th Brake Booster/Master Cylinder
D2 LCA's
Password JDM locking oil cap
ASR Rear subframe brace
Bennen C-pillar bar
2 strut bars
40/40 prop valve
Supertech valve springs/retainers/locks

Let me know what everyone thinks of my progress so far and the parts i plan on buying

wow no more inputs. i know somebody has some good reviews on the parts i listed

devarian

Bump back up for more info and what not

That all sounds pretty good, I would go with smaller wheels. Is the S2K throttle body a direct bolt on?

devarian

i want some 15' so i might buy another set down the road. but yea the throttle body is a direct bolt on for B-seris

forget that brake swap especially when its just a daily. unless you really dont like changing drum brakes.
also the full ES set will make your car squeaky.


cams/valvetrain. half of what you already have is no fun wihtout it. and a tune of course.
and id say a 2.5 exhaust.

beyond that i'd say your goldy.

devarian

thanks alot ^^^^^. thats the kind of info im looking for. well the reason i want the brake is i like disc set up. and its really not that expensive to do.
Update. so i think ill have a full set of GSR brake waiting on me, my a/c will finally work now that i have alll the mount parts, and i just paid for a Hondata S200 set up. no more VAFC2.
i do have a Greddy Evo 2 catback, also im hoping to find a set of cams in the near future

devarian

one more update. i just bought a 68mm TB

devarian

ok more updates. so now that i got the TB, Hondata and $500 to waste. im thinking about cams and valve train so that i can get the most out of all the arts that have. so pls lend me ur experince with cams and valve trains. i dont want nothing to agressive as this will be the DD. so u guys let me know. and $500 is not all i have. thats just what i get to blow on me.

devarian

bump for cam help

devarian

look at next post

devarian

ok. you would think that with the amount of views i'vegot. there would be more feed back (ya i know everyone like pics). oh well im sure there will be more when i actually get to install all of the parts and start my mini build thread. also i think this build well be labled "Other peps Junk, My Treasure". reason being is im not trying to build a show car with matching products, shaved/tucked bay. dont get me wrong i love it but i wanted something more practical, cost effective. so let me know what you all think. here is the new list and cost of parts i hav e bought in the last 2 wks:
D2 RacingLCA
ASR Rear sub frame brace
OMNI POWER TB (new)
HONDA PARTS OEM (new)
GSR BRAKES
HONDATA S200
PASSWORD JDM OIL CAP
40/40 PROPORTION VALVE
BENNEN B-PILLAR AND BARS
LCA BUSHINGS (new)
dc BAT HOLD DOWN
Supertech VALVE SPRINGS/ RETAINERS (new)

all this for $1300.00
