TW/FT: Clean 97 del Sol Built and Boosted!!!
TW/FT: Clean 97 del Sol Built and Boosted!!!
**New Picture at bottom of page**
So after a lot of painful consideration the thought has entered my mind that it might be time to sell my baby... The car has been sitting in a garage for the past year and half and almost 2 years now while I've been in school. The last time I had the chance to drive it was a year and a half ago... Here's the scoop, its a 1997 del sol with 7x,xxx miles on it. On the built motor there are only about 2000 miles and I highly doubt even that. I'm not 100% on the actual mileage since its been 6 months since I've seen it. I will find out for anyone that is serious. It is Grenada Black Pearl with the charcoal/black interior. The interior is in perfect condition. The trunk is stripped but I have all the pieces to reassemble it. The pictures posted don't show the new intercooler which is made by turbo elements, the new custom stainless steel intercooler piping, or the Tial BOV. Again, the car is 3 hours away from me but I will get new pictures as soon as I can get back home. I do have a quaife lsd for the car as well that I never got a chance to put in and will include it for an extra $750. This car is built to be drag car and doesn't make real power until about 4.5k-5.5k. This car is also ready to have the boost turned up and make 400+whp. The only reason it sits at 10lbs and 260whp right now is that is where my project was left before I left for school. It was also tuned at King Motorsports in Milwaukee WI. I have every receipt for every part on the car as well as reciepts for all the labor. All these pictures of the car are 1 1/2 years old. The car sits exactly like this except for the newer parts I've added. The car was also babied and meticulously taken care of. No short cuts were done building this car. I also have a spare y8 block with crank, pistons, rods, etc. that I can include for a little more. New OEM water pump and timing belt were also put in at the time of the build. This car is barely broke in and with a good tune can make 350-400whp as it sits. It is extremely reliable and a hell of a ride.
(Motor was built and assembled by a guy who used to build road race Integras and what not for Honda. John also did the transmission work. Like I said, no amateur hour with this car.)

Like I said earlier in the post, this car is ready to make 400whp. All that is needed is a new tune.
The bad: Only one thing. There is some compressor surge. Will be fixed with a softer BOV spring. Not a major problem at all. Otherwise, everything about this car is awesome.
The only trades I am looking for are some type of "Luxury Sports Car" like an Audi S4 or BMW M3. Don't expect to trade car for car but I'll entertain all offers. Otherwise, I don't have a price in mind so shoot me some offers.

And the dyno.
**Edit**
Oh yeah, nothing is wrong with the hood. It has hood spacers to vent out some of the hot air. It also has a JDMSH!T type R front lip.

I really have no idea what to ask. I know I am not going to get what I have in it that is kind of why I'm just looking for offers. Im still really unsure if I want to sell it, but if the right offer comes along I will.

Here is a recent picture of the new intercooler piping and blow off valve. Sorry about the dirty car. It's sat there for the past year with no love... The next time I get home I'll clean it up and take some good pictures!
