Re: My del sol, a few pics and a video.
First off, let me say that car was fully loaded including a JL audio Stealthbox. That car was in storage for 3 weeks prior to that 1 run of the day. There were no practice passes allowed. Just one chance to do your best run. I was shifting quite slow to make sure I did not miss. Again this car was not driven for weeks before this 1 run on national TV so to come out and slam gears in a RHD car would be all around stupid. Yeah I was easy on it. Plus anyone notice its a Transtop model? Thats extra weight in the trunk. I weighed the car after the pass, it was 3003lbs with me in it. Im not making excuses, just dont want you guys to think it was guttend and moded heavily. Still has full nicely working AC and complete stereo with bump, stock cat, stock piping, stock exhaust manifold, etc. Thank You.

Nice car. Did you now know that you were going to time your car? On the speed channel none the less. If it was me id do everything I can to get a lower time, or prepare for it anyway Regardless, nice car.

You just set honda back about 10 years how the **** do you run a 16 with a B16 swapped little del sol? The I/h/e LS swapped sol down here runs consistant low 14s. Clean car but to be honest I hate you.
Its hard to hate on their ignorance since every god damn import that comes on that show runs a shitty time because the driver is a complete moron. Now I know why imports get hated on so much.

Not really, I'll push it hard, just did not want to slam gears since I hadnt driven it in like 3 weeks. No practice runs made me a little nervous, so I did not want to slam into the wrong gear so I was just easy on the shifting. Other than that I let the RPMs get up there. Then again, my tach is all jacked up, around 6k rpm it jumps randomly all over the place, I had no idea when my rev limiter would kick in but I still pushed it.

Thanx for tha compliments on the car guys, I know it needs body/paint which it may be getting soon. I want this car as a show car, I have no plans to make it fast as of right now.

Re: My del sol, a few pics and a video.
Yeah, I took the car out of storage just to go get my 1 pass. I only did it because I had nothin better to do. I did not prep the car in any way. I dont win anything no matter what time I run. I was just there to show the car, not try to impress anyone with how fast a stock SiR is.
