ºº I'm in Honda Tuning, Hoes! ºº

[Mr. Clean]

Yeah so ACCORDPRIDE PM'd me with a congrats that I had no idea I was due haha. He said he saw me in the new issue of HondaTuning. Nothing too special, just in the Grassroots/ "Almost a Feature" section that was dedicated to Overlooked Chassis's this month lol. Well I went on a search around town but alas... no HT in stock anywhere... so I went to my trusty Honda-Tech del Sol forum and one of my sol brothers came through... so here's my story hahaha

http://i263.photobucket.com/albums/ii158/ThayneC/Del%20Sol/Repair/2bd90d9a.jpg

The article reads:



Justin's 96 del Sol VTEC is not one of the first cars up-and-coming Honda enthusiasts look to when considering a build. It should be though. The del Sol was the first Honda to feature the legendary B16a engine in the U.S. The EG2 chassis has one of the most sought-after, close-ratio, B-series gearboxes, featuring a 4:400:1 final drive, four-wheel disc brakes, and, of course, its open top body was released long before the S2000. Justin's EG2 isn't heavily modified- he's kept it that way in an effort to remain, "...classy, functional, and crispy." In fact, the B16a is completely stock save for a custom-painted valve cover. Why you ask? Well Justin says it has to remain "...quiet, clean, and reliable for the daily grind" Fair enough. Work Emotion CR Kai rims help Justin's del Sol achieve that perfect state of crispiness along with Vision Motorsports blue lug nuts and ride height that's brought down to an acceptable level with Ground Control coilovers. Justin fitted the interior with S2000 leather seats, a custom headliner, and a 330mm Nardi steering wheel held on with an NRG quick release adapter. A Razo shift knob, Broadway mirror, and audio goods from Alpine and Sony round off what we're quite sure Justin considers nothing short of crispy.


So yeah I'm pumped and my car really isn't up to par with some of the cars on IA, so if you send em, they just might put you in a magazine haha.

And Bucky... come on sir... you're gonna be a feature and we all know it.

and here's the orig. pic in case anyone wants a better pic, and couple new ones.

bucky
jay(smrlsvtec?)
gregg (gah...it's too hard)
turbosohc

that's just the top of my head, but we have some really hot cars and we need to let everyone know haha. plus we have plenty of ridiculous photogs on here that could really do everyone justice.

[mushroom_toy]

"Yo man, your sh*t is so crispy!"

I like your style Justin. :yes:

I'm down come the first of the year as that's when I plan on putting my main whip back on the road again.

Funny thing about that list is we all get together quite often, so it wouldn't be hard at all to schedule something. Keep me in the loop regardless.

I congratulate you for getting a spot in that magazine...nice work! ;)
