#273328 The Delsol is an awesome chassis IMO. The only sucky thing is the lack of aftermarket chassis parts. such as headlights and tail lights.

Short of that Delsols are awesome. My Delsol is tight enough to do high speed mountain runs and I hit road coarse Track days. They also are fun in the summer with the top off.

However for your swap I would recommend a B18c GSR instead of a B16b Type-R. You get more delicous Torque.

#273687 Or go like Chrono did with a B20B and get even more torque on low octane fuel.
Just add a B16 trans for even more fun.
