Default Finally some pics of the new sol! Whole storyline/build to go with it. 56K have a quickie.

<FONT SIZE="7">UPDATE ON PAGE 3 OR ON THE BOTTOM OF THIS POST</FONT>

Well some of you may remember my old 95 milano red VTEC sol.



Well that turned into this...

Totaled...sucked.


So then a few months of no driving and searching for a new sol and I came up with a shell from Virginia Beach.

It used to be Z_E_N's car. So we bought the shell and had it shipped here. This is how it looked when we got it.


So then both cars were moved to my garage where everything was to be done.


My brother, me, and a friend starting to pull the motor.


So heres basically everything I did.

-Full b16a3 swap.
-Swapped power steering into the car, which included swapping subframes to accommodate the larger rack diameter.
-Full VTEC brake install including swapping the rear drums to discs, as well as the brake booster and MC.
-ASR/22mmITR combo with blox lcas
-Swapping nearly every interior panel for those out of the old sol.
Adding a trunk release lever from the old sol.

Well that whole process took a few months, and keep in mind I had never done anything technical before in my life. Alls I can say is thank god for a chiltons, and if you can't figure something out ask...like I did many times on this site. Thanks to all the members who helped me during this build.

So on with the pics.
An old one with the stockers while waiting for my tires to come in.

Just a quick vid I made while driving back to my house after the pics. Nothing special.

Also, soldbrothers-my exhaust is stock just with no muffler and the custom rear section.

It sounds great to me tho...NO rasp, deep, not too loud, still pops a little. VERY NICE!

Its not a buddy club exhaust. Its the stock catback with a custom rear section made to resemble it. I love it.

I'd get a lip, but then I wouldnt be able to get up my driveway.

I dont care what wheels mine are a cop of, I still like them.

I would, but its on springs and that wouldnt really work.

Besides, I have a hard enough time getting up my driveway as it is.

Yeah I wanted to keep the harness that was in it, but it was majorly hacked up, so I had to use the harness out of my stock car.

Do you have any pics of it back in the day?
