Hey guys, I had a build page on the old website but I have a few more things accomplished and would like to share it so...here ya go. Thanks for looking!

7/15/10: Here is the Del sol the day that I went and picked it up





So, when I got the car, it wasn't running so we had to tow it to my place. The lady who had it said something about a relay and that she was tired of messing with it so I got it for cheap. The day I got it home, swapped the main fuel relay that I had laying on my shelf and it started right up.

7/16/10: Started cleaning it up a little bit...crazy hail damage on this car...





I bought an EG hatch a while before I got the Del Sol and it had some parts on it that I was planning on swapping out so the Del Sol got a few things off of it.
7/21/10: Started out with a set of lowering springs and struts.




8/7/10: The EG also had some cheap ebay turbo kit so I decided to put it on there and see how long it would last. was pretty quick for a little while.




Made a Gauge pod for it

 

Stuck My Rotas on it and ditched the OEM Sol wheels




9/1/10: Ended up messing up the D16Z6 so I put an order in for a replacement



10/14/10: The setup was JDM B20B with gsr transmission, ACT Streetlite flywheel and stage 3 clutch, 4-1 header and ebay catback on an ls ecu. Huge improvement over the d-series. Also added Blox rear LCAs and Integra rear sway bar along with Drop Zone coilovers.





1/23/11: After getting used to the b20 I decided to put a 50 shot on it....un-tuned



2/14/11: After a few months of beating up the b20 every day and a couple bottles of nitrous it developed a knocking sound. Still not sure what it is, sound like a top end knock but instead of messing with that one i ordered another B20B.




2/17/11: Im also making some upgrades to this b20 to try to rid of some of the common weak points. Started out with ARP rod bolts and a Golden eagle block guard.


Also got something else to "top" off the b20...VTEC Yo!


Also got ITR intake manifold, Hondata intake manifold gasket, and Vision cam gears, GSR cams...looks nice IMO



So I'm hoping to have the new setup ready to go but mid next week at the latest...wish me luck!

 

Here are some of the highlights of this cars transformation:





Sunday Shoes...

 

 

I really want to get some body work done and put some S2k seats in it. Thats pretty much it tho...
Had a few mins today to take a couple pics...gt3s...not sure bout the red





uh oh....dont speed. It's expensive...

 

some newer pics...shes dirty. Painted the wheels and got new tires

 

Aight so, this car is going to be headed another direction. I have decided on selling my hatch and the b20vtec long block to help pay to finish an engine that I have been sitting on that was originally intended for my 500hp hatch but will now be going into the Del Sol.
Anyways, here are some of the progress pictures that I took.

When I pulled it into my shop.


Last bay shot before tear down.


Pulled all of the front body panels so they don't get any more messed up




Dropping the engine and trans.



So I will be doing a mild wire tuck and relocating the battery to the trunk to clean up the engine bay. I also have something in mind for the engine bay but I will post pictures when I start actually doing it. Thanks for looking!

 

 

Believe it or not it actually clears the hood...

 

I thought shockers had finally gone away, but apparently I was wrong..... Car looks like it's fun though.

 

Wow this escalated quickly. Very nice setup in that last picture, what turbo are you running?

 

It's a Precision PT67
