Default Well, the R is gone for good.

The buyer flew down from Minnesota to pick up the R last Friday, everything went smoothly and of course I told him to hit up honda-tech
I just picked up a 2002 Camaro Z28 ($3,000 rebate was offered ) and I picked up a 93 Del Sol Si (pending swap)
I already have the complete longblock, I just need tranny, axles, ecu, mounts, hondata, and turbo kit basically and I'm good to go!!!!!
Wish my Luck
Oh, and I will pop in the ITR forum every once in a while to see what's new

congrats that you sold the car but for a camaro. I would sell my R but not for an american muscle car (to far from what I like, Just my opinion though). Have fun with what we all don't have, TORQUE and RWD

You sold the R for a Camaro? Oh well. You'll have fun with the Sol.

I'd really like to know the details of your sale if you don't mind. How many miles on your R? Mods? How much did you get? You can IM me if you don't want to post here. I'm trying to sell mine now.

People place too big a gap between an SS and a Z28. They are almost identical!


Nice rides.

How do you like the power in the Z? Nice to have torque eh?

I decided the R wasn't for me, I am a drag racer at heart. and I was always getting stuff stolen off my car, so I decided the Z28 daily and the 93 turbo del sol will fit the bill perfctly.
