#266823 Thanks guys.

I just got the valve lash adjusted so She's running very nicely. Motor is real quiet except for the intake/exhaust.

I also rebuilt my seats today with another set i got last night. No rips!

And picked up a Circuit Hero shift extender today. I'm happy with it for now. Gotta start saving for more suspension and body next.

I like how even though it doesn't look the best, You have a pretty quick Del sol. Shes no del slow( I hate it when people say that >_> ) anymore.

It looks like you are on the way of making it clean. your off to a good start and I am looking forward to how it ends up.

Also Is that a wing above the rear window?

Thanks man, I wish it looked as clean as your car. I guess Ive just got to save up and have the body and paint done. I really would like to do it myself but I'm not that skilled yet.

I'm not done with the suspension yet anyway, want to get it all track ready before i do the cosmetics again. It looked good when I painted it white, but we didnt prep it right so it came off and started rusting. then I got new parts that were all sorts of colors, lol.

Yes Its a 96 civic hatch spoiler that I skinned and fitted on my 3rd brake light garnish.

I'm thinking about making one that has a bit of a tilt to it later.

Thanks 1ACarlos!

heres my shifter

Sweet, see ya there.

@ kingjmack, I really like it a lot.

The short throw of the b&m combined with the taller height of the extender feels about the same as a stock del sol throw which is pretty short anyway, but it feels really great and its just right. a bit of a reach into 5th though but not horrible.
