I picked up a 93 del sol si for 1400 January 18th 2013 1 day before my birthday. That was what I posted in a previous thread back in 2013. Its been 2 long years with this build with alot of ups and downs in my life but im still trying my hardest to keep with my first build.


If you have instagram follow me! @ dertyghettokid. I post mad flicks!
This is the first day I bought the car. Only thing wrong with it was exhaust was rotten so it was loud. Perfect car for a build!

 

oozing of potential... great buy man

 

First custom thing I did was painted my wheels black with black sparkle.









Turned out really nice.

 

Thanks man, I'm gonna keep updating shes far from what this now :D stay tuned!

 

Thought I'd show the clean interior and the km's on the car. Perfect 1st car purchase imo, At the time I was working Backshift at walmart so I didnt have stacks of cash lol

 

Then it begins. When I bought the car I had one mission and that was sell the D series as a swap and sell the wheels and tires for build funds. Even before I started my build I knew what I wanted and how I was going to do it. I lost my license for 2 years so I had time to build a great car. I finally got a buyer so it was time to get rid of the swap. took it to a buddies and we went to work. We didnt get it out that night it was late, next day buyer and my buddy took the swap out because buyer was eager to get the swap out and I honestly didnt know **** about building cars.






There she is no motor and no wheels 800$ for build money

 

Months later lol





Wheels came into the mail

 

Did these to my lights puttem in the oven ahaha, Turned out good though


Wheels are 15x8!

 

Build starts off boring and I'm sorry but I promise it picks up :D keep in mind I live in an appartment and didnt know notta when I started the build.

So I started learning about delsols and instantly wanted rare jdm sir goodies














ordered a sir lip





This is where things start getting good. JDM DC2 real Recaros

 

BTW the str wheels I posted were traded for a LSVtec swap but it was shady so I ended up selling it before I even touched it.




So next purchase was a GSR swap came with some goodies.








Got a tow to a buddies parents garage





This is when my build jump started. Had a place to finally do what I wanted. Strip the bay and paint it.








I was kinda lucky there were a few rust spots. where I live they salt everything in the winter, it wasn't too bad so I sanded it all down.

 

Ready to paint





First Coat. Was way to hyped aha btw bay was done with spray paint.





After a few coats it was time for my vision to be created.

 

Time for valve cover to be stripped and painted











Skunk2 IM next. Used high temp blk

 

S/O to shaysstickers and eastcoastsols





So gloss white. spraypaint














At this point I ordered Hansport mounts :D btw everything I bought for this build was all me no one told me what to get or what to do. This is what my vision of my first build looked like, I dont take suggestions unless it has to do with motor.





Didnt know at the time but needed the delsol vtec post mount from the sir motor lol

 

Showing off my spray paint job, used a pearl clear coat then cleared over that aswell.





Ran all new braklines for my tuck, Run them into the firewall and put my prop valve where my heater core was. First time ever doing brakelines. no leaks :D I know it doesnt look the prettiest but no one cares lol also painted my fuel filter and brake booster. they were hella rusty.




Got Excited so I test fitted the motor. found out about the post mount I needed.


can you ever see the sparkle in the spark plug wire cover.



add the instagram!

 

ordered some wheels again and the K-Tuned shifter





Ordered racelands oltimo's was mad when they didnt come with top hats.





Wheels and shifter came. I ordered white off ebay week later dude tells me he doesnt have em, offered me them blk and chucked in neo chrome lugs and hub rings for free!





again mad as hell when they didnt come like photo lol





That was my friday night








Was so hyped I test fitted the wheels

 

So I ordered a pair of SK2 pro series s's and SK2 gold rca's from andys auto sport for a del sol. I got one box and it was the front camber kit for a ek.... and no rca to be found. I email them and they said that the lca wasnt sent because they dont have it in stock. long story short i had to send the camber kit back, took months to get my refund and they tried to rip me 0ff but i got my money back. Bought these off someone local for 120$ brandnew.


Not a fan of the pink but whatever no one sees it lol



SK2 RCA from pw jdm



she was finally was sittin low and dirty ahah






had some tires shipped to the house. where i live this size just doesn't exists! I had to order off ebay to get them!



had some tires shipped to the house. where i live this size just doesn't exists! I had to order off ebay to get them!

 

Put these on by hand. Never again lol

 

Ordered cf whale****



Next for me was getting the Recaros in






Got tired of waiting for my buddy to weld the rails to the custom brackets , (welder by trade) so i did it myself lol









Was feeling pumped. seats were in, shift **** was on the way, chipped ecu and rear sir delsol b16 T bracket mount were on its way along with the intake. after that it was time to start getting the gsr going :D








Relocate. new garage with better resources for what I was doing

 

Getting hooked up, most of this wasnt done by me, I was working way to much and buddy that owns the garage works on cars all night and slept in the day and never went there on weekends. so i gave him a few bucks to hook up the gsr and he sold me a skunk 2 full exhaust because i needed one. Nights I would spend over there id stay till 3am go home and wake up for 6:50am to go to work.








we welded a custom shift linkage.Pretty ghetto but tightest shifts ever!





all hooked up and running, picked up a dual core rad local for 50$ At this moment i found out the gsr smoked very bad. took it for a test drive and the main bearing in trans was bad too. shifted flawless though just made weird noise and jiggled a bit. but i say F it drive it through the summer just to enjoy it then back to building!








Bought someones car and made it my own.





left the garage 3am and drove home. havent driven this car in a year so i was sooo happy to drive my first car after a year of hard work!

 

Didnt have it insured yet so I just took it across the street to give it a LONG! over do bath lmao





Took flicks with my Nikon D5100



















Here you can see me sitting on my delsol at a local meet. we meet every sunday here and it gets huge! This was the first time I got down there with my delsol and everyone was lovin it. I'm beside the silver jetta and the big truck.

 

Ok this is going to get hectic. Basically acouple weeks later of loving my life. I was on my way home from work and was stuck in city traffic and noticed my oil light came on by the time i got to a place to turn off it was to late... KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK!



So that was the end of the gsr. pulled it took off everything and sold just motor and trans. and parked it.



a week or two later my buddy came home with a civic wagon i instantly bought it off him because he has a del sol build going its a SIR trans top. and he knew if he kepted this he would build it so for a daily i bought this civic wagon and put my wheels on it. had a roll cage, momo bucket seat, stage 4 clutch, d16y8 it was a fun car




Had soooo much fun with it and became inlove so i had to sell it or id give up on the sol. drove it for a months and sold it for what i paid for it.





same night i sold the wagon I bought a tegg gs slammed and super clean leather interior. awesome car dipped it white then sold it.





day after i dipped the car, i got it impounded for a day so thats the day i got it back home all dirty and didnt finish peeling off everything lol. sold that for more than i paid for it.




Bought this civic same night I sold the integra. stock B18 si with sir lip, spoiler fogs etc no rust and body had low clicks was a gem






Bought some wheels for it and DD that for a bit and then...



Traded the mint 99 si for a 93 civic coupe with a none running JDM B18C Type r motor. Delsol got pulled off the road late june and I trade my black civic in dec lol thats alot of cars to have in that period of time.

 

JDM b18C type R full swap -150 Thousand km's - Freshly built head - Slightly ported head - Skunk 2 Tuner 2 cams - AEM true time Cam gears - BC dual valve springs - all new valves - all new top end gaskets - p30 b16 ported intake manifold - 70mm Throttle body - 450cc injecters, also car came with AEM AFR which i needed!





Got my swap out, sold the shell, extra header, the dc exhaust that came with it, still have a bunch of extras to sell, sold my stage 3 clutch and SK2 intake mano from the gsr, so I made a bit of money back.





block is nasty needed a clean up, corroded to hell





took a trip and got these as a package for 400$ fuel rail came with fuel pressure reg!








Painted another one aha, Putting the stock injectors and gsr fuel rail just for start up on the b18c then adding the aem FR and 450cc injectors when i go to my tuner.





picked up these jems

 

Cleaned up the block, Turned out real good











after i was done taking photos i did the oil pan to match





ordered online, nrg wheel and QR hub

 

Forgot to mention. Remember when I said I love collecting rare jdm sir options for the delsol? Well I ordered some maplights and rear license plate fillers. When I get them I will be ordering led bulbs for both and a few other things. More things I'm after is the sir front fogs of course with the light switch in the console. I want a sir b16 cluster for the delsol that has 9k redline and a jdm parking pole. Seen one forsale in the uk but didnt ship to Canada =/ Almost bought sir fender signal lights but I just want to buy the parts for my motor.

These photos are to show what they are and what they look like on the car if you guys didnt know.

 

Buddy spent like 2000$ On the head and must have seen these pistons then said well Lets stick it back together and sell it off. Because theres no way in hell he was stupid enough to try and run these pistons with a fucked crank. cylinder walls were mest from what you can see on the pistons. ordered a ls vtec kit and a few other things. also picking up gsr pistons on rods for 100$
