Okay new to the whole import scene guys so please bear with me and show some patience if you can. I really want to learn and have a nice car. I bought a 1994 Honda Del Sol SOHC. I hate the suspension in it, its like riding a bike with flat wheels. The car has a cheap after market exhaust and Air intake, with 17" Kuhmos on cheap rims. What can I do to beef my car up? With its light weight I know it can be made faster. Engines? Suspension? And any other advice is helpful. One question is, can I fit an h22 into a del sol? Would the wheels even be able to get traction if I could? Thanks for any and all help.

Newbie

P.S. Have between $2k - $4k to spend, but would like to start slow and build up!

this link shows the pros and cons on a lot of engines.

i would put a gsr in it

 

Thanks for the link and advice. All links are welcome.

 

dont go to fast.... Post pics.. these guyz in here will help.. na... if you dont know what your doing.. dont put a gsr into it... clean up you d15 or if its an SI your d16 vtec motor... get some knowledge of cars before you go doing things your self.... if not have someone else do it...

 

best mod i ever did to my old hatch before the motor, was a decent suspension setup, haveing a car that handled well was a blast. so drive your car alittle then do suspension, save the motor until your confident in your car and your driving abilities

 

Guess thats where I get a little confused as to what I need suspension wise? Any certain brands better than others what parts should I be looking to replace? Should I go with a full polyurethane bushing kit? Coil Overs or new shocks and coils? Sh*t there are just so many questions. Searching through the old stuff to see if I can find some answer though.

Thanks for the help

 

i think the biggest thing for you would be to give a dollar amount your lookin to spend. because in the end it comes down to how much your willing to fork out. but if it were me with your del slow i would go with a boosted gsr with some suspension work and a decent tune. just my $.02. anyways good luck with the project.
