Ok, so here's the back story on this piece. lol:
Traded the car 6 months ago for my 99 Civic LX... that was my baby. At first the Sol looked awesome, minus a dent in the fender, and I did the trade. But then i started noticing things wrong...
First thing i noticed was that he had tucked the wiring harness, but didnt pin it up on the passenger side... so the tire ate at it... Next thing i noticed is that the radio and the speakers were gone in the doors... and the wires for the back speakers were gone. The steering wheel was some cheap ebay brand, and wiggled alot. Also came with Blox LCA.. which I cant stand.

But the good. :] It came with functiona & form type 1's that were only a month old. the rest of the body besides the driver fender and part of the door, are straight and have recently been painted. Came with some nice, extremely good condition 15x7 +35offset xxr 513's.

Heres some pics of when i first got it:
the outside, and the motor (D15B7... FOR NOW!! ;] )

 

So then that stupid front lip was being held together buy those awful stickers. So i took it off and bought another one just like it...
Also updtated the interior.. here's the interior when i first got it...

Alright, well here's how the interior and exterior are looking now... after some small renovating. I'm still nowhere even close to being done.

Alright, little update. Been waiting on parts for a while now. so here's what I got so far.
Function7 LCA to replace the HORRIBLE blox
ASR Subframe Brace with 24mm sway bar kit
DC ceramic 4-1 header
Skunk2 Pro Series front and rear camber kit
And Tanabe Medallion touring Exhaust.

 

alright, havent been on here in a little bit. Just a small update:
Got my Jdm Visors installed...


[hr]
Also Got My Suspension put on, minus the Skunk2 front and rear camber kit. That will be put on next weekend with the new Tanabe Medallion Touring exhaust.







Jdm d15b vtec, I love it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

here's a small update. I havent really done much, but i'm about to start working on it again very soon, so i fifgured a small update would be good.


these pics are from the dragon run we did back in July.



shortly after that i traded the xxr's for 5 wheels with brand new tires...

rocked them for about a week and put them on the wifes car.
I then got ahold of some gsr blades with brand new tires. SO this is how it's sitting now. I've got some more parts on the way and will be updating once they get here

[hr]
and here's the splitter when i had it on, i took it off for the winter and i'm going to rework it to make it a little more esthetically pleasing to the eyes. but i got it to where its pretty solid. It will hold me and my daughter which is roughly 200lb together. Pretty sturdy for $75 and i made it all from stuff i got from Home Depot.

 

and my little helper. She's pretty much gotten down what everything is. I'm so proud. :D

[hr]
Next to my wifes 540i


and the road trip to The Tail of the Dragon. Great trip.

 

Here's a little bit of a photo shoot I did with the wife today. It was such a beautiful day, we decided to take the tops off and go cruising.

This also shows how my car looks right now. Big things coming soon

 

AND HERE IS WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE TODAY!!!!!!

-Interior:
Ktuned extended shifter
FIA approved F1spec racing seat
Harness bar
Door panel crease covers
brand new seals all around
and all drain plugs cleaned

-Exterior:
15x7.5 949racing 6ul +43 offset
205/50/15 Yokohama S.Drives

Top1 Splitter brackets
15% Tint on side windows 35% on windshield and rear window

 

Coolest part about this, was you teaching your daughter about cars... Thats awesome!

The car is decent in my opinion. Lil too much "teen" flavor added to it for my liking. Im sure others will disagree. But as long as you're happy with it and what your doing.

 

I love the car man, clean as hell! Is the lighting in the instrument panel stock?

 

doing it right so far, love the wheels in first pics.....id loose the red seat tho

 

How about some paint for those interior panels make it all black I did it to my del sol and it looks real good

and I like your map lights


I didn't know you could get tint on your windshield

 

Thanks man. My daughter loves cars, so I try to encourage that as much as possible.

All LED bulbs in cluster and climate control

The red seat I got off craigslist for cheap. Its an FIA approved f1spec

Thanks man. I don't plan on painting my interior at all. Lol
And the windshield tint is illegal, but I got a muddy that did it for me for pretty cheap.

 

Nice car bud. What rear lip spoiler wing is that in one of your pic with your blades on. I love that wing.

 

Its a ferio spoiler (jdm 92-95 civic lx) its now on my wife's del sol

 

Your car looks like ****.

 

^^ Harsh! I wouldn't go that far. I would get rid of that intake and that splitter.

 

^ Yeah very harsh...possible jealousy? It's a wonder why there is no pics of his car in his profile....

 

No telling. I have pics of my bucket up. Don't really care what people think about it either. I don't like Sols but I'd drive that one.

 

Keep the steering wheel though. No, it isn't completely out of place in that interior whatsoever!

Your choice in window graphics is tasteful to begin with. Their message, style, and no less their placement, really adds a unique touch of gentlemanly demure.

 

^^I thought they said MY attitude was bad. Looking at your post history you have absolutely NOTHING positive to say about anyone or anything. And if I'M saying that you know it means something.

 

LMAO!!! That's awesome.

This is the comment I was looking for really. I'm only on 2 other car seats (smaller, better mannered ) the only reason I even thought about posting on HT is to get the negative opinions. Everyone always has something positive and motivational to say about my car everywhere else. But I do appreciate your honesty, because any critisim is good critism.

 

at the very least, these sad people provide us with us with comedy. Clean car, way to keep the del sol alive.

 

Great project. But why u no have rear disks? All the sols ive seen have rear disks including mine...

 

sweet car man. I like how u and ur daughter worked it on together. I liked everything but the steering wheel. good build. subscribed
