Well after some time away, I got myself back into another del Sol. It isnt much yet, but in due time it will be beyond my last one (boosted b16 del Sol). I want to keep it fairly simple and very "clean" Let me know what yall think about my "new project"








This has got to go!:


<U>Here are my future plans:</U>

~Swap (Dont know which one yet. I have a built b18c1 shortblock ready for boost, but I dont know If I want to go turbo again. Any sug?)

~Suspension (Looking at some D2's or Omni's maybe even Tein with LCA's, ASR sub frame, swaybar, tie bar, etc)

~Wheels and tires (Thinking about getting the Supa Meshes gold with the polished lip with the Falkin 615's)

~Exterior (A few JDM goodies like side markers, rear fillers, a nice front lip, and a re-spray sometime soon)


Ill do more with time, right now Ive got some loans I need to cover, but let me know what you think about the car/plans, and if you've got ideas for motor choice, or can rec. some good parts LMK. Thanks.

agree

 

looks like an excellent little project car.

good luck and keep us posted.

 

Thanks everyone.

What does everyone think about the motor situation? Should I use the built bottom-end that I already have thats ready for boost and turbo it again, or should I try at NA? Id love to do a nice b20vtec, but I would hate wasting the bottom-end Ive already got. Id appreciate your opinions.

Also Id like to know what everyone things about the D2's. Im really thinking of picking up a set of these, but Id love to hear everyones imput on everything. Thanks!


Here are the wheels Im about to order (the gold ones)

 

good luck on it

if you got the funds go with the N/A route otherwise why waste a completely fine turbo ready block?

and stay away from those Spun wheels...they're cheap and cheap looking.

 

keep it clean

 

nice stock sol

 

boost over NA any day

Spun wheels ? Why? Ive heard some decent things about the wheels. I just want something that isnt a Rota. Something different, but nothing too too $ that would still look good on my sol. Any other suggestions then?

i thought they would be a nice alternative to Rotas as well, but when i finally saw em in person (especially the gold) i was extremely turned off to it because it looked so cheap. not to mention everyoneo and their momma has one these days.

other suggestions? 5Zigens, Buddy Clubs, Stern, etc.

 

Happen to have any pics of them or a specific style you like? Like I said, anything non-rota works for me. But I can also see how the spuns could seem cheep. Thanks for the tip.

nothin in particular...just google em up and see the product line for each company.

and you're welcome...just tryin' to help another Sol'er out.

 

Anyone know any wheels that might look good on my black sol? I looked at the wheels that SOL Food mentioned, and I Im not much for the sterns, never been a big fan of buddy club wheels, etc. The 5Zigens arnt bad depending on which ones.

Anybody else have any suggestions? Im looking for something bronze/gold with polished lip. Thanks.
