Cleaned it up a little today and checked it out a little more closely. Also got rid of the red paint on the interior prices.

#254437 I think i kinda like the blue wheels on the red. Its starting to grow on me. I might just be getting used to it.

Here was my original color scheme for my car.
red, flat black, polished aluminum.

Now however im thinking about changing it to go with blue wheels...What do YOU PEOPLE 8) think?

I completely agree. People see hondas like that all over the place and think that all hondas with mods are the same; that the drivers are the same kinds of people. I see where they are coming from too, because i do the same thing with bikes and big trucks even though i find them both enjoyable. Experience has just caused me to stereotype all bikers and truckers into negative categories. Luckily with bikes atleast ive riden enough and had a few friends who rode, so i give them a chance (as long as they arent doing wheelies down the highway and reving their engines to people at traffic lights).

I should add that to my pet peeves. People who rev their bikes unnecessarily.


Anyway, prelude is sweet though, I kinda know the driver. Its h22.

And yeah, it worked out well on the parts, i was already going to pull that housing off the b7 and then was reminded that b7 dizzys work on y8's so i took that too :thumb:
Now its just getting a new headgasket, cleaning the head up some and putting it back together.


The del sol is likely aready sold. Ill be getting about 1k more than i have into it. A little more since im keeping my rims.
