Dropped the sol last night and put my Rotas on it.

Car rides much better then with stock suspension. The Stock suspension had brand new struts and was surprisingly harsh. The Aftermarket Tokico Blues and Unknown coils ride so much nicer.

I will be playing with ride height and rolling fenders soon.

@1updelsol
I Doubt I will come to vega's, Super long drive down and tons that need to be done before its show worthy.

@blk92hb
I have thought about using S2k seats. If I can get a good deal on a pair then I will rock them.

Thanks everyone for your positive comments.

but anyhow thats something you dont see very often a stock car lol....very nice sol.....its awesome when the whole windows sides and rear go down and the targa top is gone woot!


Thanks, I wasn't looking for a Delsol when I found this. I was looking at EP3's(02-05 Civic Si) and 99-00 EX Sedans. When I came across this gem I had to get it.

Today was Sunny and decently warm. So off came the top, Put armor all on the seals and drove around and hung out with my Friends that didn't see the Del Sol yet.

looks hella clean for the mileage it has :thumb:


Thanks! All of my friends have been telling me they are surprised about how clean it is for as many miles it has.

The D16Z6 is a good solid little engine. And with my Current suspension setup is fun to play with. However Coming from my Fresh 99Spec B20b and Super Mint B16 Transmission, The D16z6 is slow. It also has a small oilleak and burns a little oil.

Becouse of all the above factors I am going to order B Series Delsol Mounts and a B Series Delsol Shift Linkage and swap in my B20. I'm Pretty sure I didn't even put 300 miles on my B20 before my hatch was T-boned.

Thanks, I'm also surprised about how well it looks with only a drop and new rims.

I bought it from a dealership, They wanted $7300 for it, I got it for $4500 out the door, all taxes and licensing paid. As mint as the Sol is I think i did pretty good.

Nope. Leaving it all Delsol. I mentioned above I Will NOT be doing a front end conversion. The 99-00 EK Front clip looks good on Delsol's. However I'm not going down that path.

Yesterday was a Sunny Day. Therefore pics!

It looks good on these rims, But I do want new one. I want either Drag DR-31's, Rota Torque's in Bronze, or Polished GSR Blades. I will most likely be getting new rims after my B20 Swap.

Sucky Picture I know.

Tired of the 16" Rotas rubbing I swapped out my Rotas for the 15" Bronze Quantem Tek Rims I had my Blue Sedan sitting on. I also lowered the car alittle bit more.

My B20 Swap is coming soon. I have my Mounts, Need to get a few OBD1 Electronics and some Delsol Vtec Shift Linkage then the B20's going in.

Its been awesome weather recently. I've been doing tons of driving around and hitting up local roads. The Delsol handles so much better then the EK Hatch did. Probably because of its sway bars. Maybe its more Rigid because of the Targa Top? Not sure but its a blast to drive.

I've Also made an exact clone of what this will be in Forza3 and have been playing with suspension setups. Pretty sure a 15mm Rear sway bar will be going on the delsol. I love just a hint of oversteer. :thumb:
