This will be my thread to show you guys, and gals, my del sol and keep update with new mods as soon as they will happen
I own it since January 2013, it's my second car altought my first Honda (finally lol) I always like this sweet little car, but I believe that I buy the wrong one, let me start talking about some issues that I had, bodywork is completely fu*** and engine wasn't the original (still a d16z6 but not the one from factory) and have very low comprension and drink too much oil and just made 100hp on the dyno (around 60 at the wheels)....about the bodywork I already know how bad it was when I bought the car but strangely that negliged body and sad face make me wanna that car, yap I bought the wrong car cause it needs to much work but since this is taking time to become perfect it make me fall in love with my car, everyday I like it a little bit more
Now the good part, about 5 or 6 months after I bought the car I did a swap for a b16 (well not me, my mechanic, the best in Portugal in terms of Honda, NA or Turbo he's the man for the job), and since then I've make little upgrades, it need to be slowly build cause I make at least 70km everyday and here the gas prices are raising almost every 6months, but despite that I've been make some good things, well at least on my point of view lol I've almost everything buil in my head and just need to put it on the real world, but like I said slowly good things happens, don't need to make everything in a hurry cause this car is to keep for many years......
I will give you the list of mods taht I currently have, if you wanna know something that I dind't post feel free to ask
Engine:
B16a1 block\head everything stock inside but with intake manifold oem p30, intake oem vti with kn air filter, gearbox hydro y21 (from a del sol vti), exhaust manifold oem itr 4-2-1, ecu p30, straight throught exhaust (a direct 60mm od inox 304 tube from the header to the back box, muffler twin loop not mugen and not mugen replica just twin loop with long chamber).....it made 162.4hp and 155.5nm on the dyno (pretty good since it's almost stock and here the stock vti's give something between 150 and 155hp)
Body:
Oem eg6 front lip, oem del sol vti spoiler, sambar corners, some bad looking 3m carbon stickers that the previous owner put on it and I will rip off everything and change for real carbon fiber parts when it goes to the paint shop, ugly wheels that will be replaced for some oem eg6 (love them)
Interior:
Custom made shift and gearbox boot with blue stitch, oem del sol seats (change the esi ones for the blue vti ones), shift knob replica itr, steering wheel in it's way to Portugal from a del sol sir (very rare and pretty, at least on pictures it is lol)
Suspension\chassis:
Oem vti front strut bar, lowering springs (don't know the brand since came already fitted on the car), asr subframe blue (one of the few original ones over here), rear 20mm anti roll bar possibly from na itr but it's just 20mm and i'm not sure if it's really itr or other Honda
Brakes:
Oem itr spec 98 front and rear callipers and carriers (same as ek9, 282mm front disks and 260mm rears, but I keep the 4x100pdc), hel blue braided lines, 1" brake master cylinder and servo, front brakes and pads soon to be replaced possibly for a combination of powerslot disks and ferodo ds2500 pads.....
No abs, no airbag, no ac, no transtop, just pure lightweight and fun
I need to re-upload some pics of it when I bought andhow it's now since my imageshack account don't let me put photos on the forums anymore maybe I can do taht tomorrow when I arrive from the job, but now I left just a teaser lol one pic that I have on my new account for upload photos, one from the asr, don't had time to wash the car since I take it the day after install the asr and had just 2hours of sleep between install the asr and go to work, well need to sacrÃfice for the good of my del sol
