Advice, ditch the Del Sol and save up for something else. No use putting a ton of money into a shitty car.

Autox that thing, that's what it's best at. It ain't shitty, you just gotta know what to use it for.

Cheers,

^^ I agree. If you already have the del sol, just work with it. As far as cost goes the B16 is cheaper than a B18c1.
Oh and here is a link for some good basic engine specs...check it out http://www.jdmuniverse.com/for...0Info

Autox means autocross, don't worry, everybody was a newb at some point in time. Del sols are in my opinion, cheap little **** cans. Spend the extra grand and get a 94, maybe a 95 Integra GSR, you'll be glad you did.
