Being in school I just don't have the time to keep this car up to snuff. A couple of people on here have seen it and will vouch for it. I will do my best to get the sponsorships transferred with the car, but no promises.

Model: 1993 Honda del Sol Si
Miles: 170k on frame, 60k on motor
Color: Phantom Silver.. Painted 9/10/06 by Vinh Body Shop (they did all bodywork)
Sponsors: Spectre Performance/PowerAdder, Area 51 Customs (just picked up this one), Kaminari USA (picked up at Nopi), 336 Kustmz in High Point, NC, AfterTune (Birmingham AL... ECU tuning/dyno tuning), AutoLabZ (dyno, body work, installs)
VIN: JHMEH6169PS000287

I bought the car Dec 26 2004. Drove it stock for a while, then the old D16z6 started crapping out on me. Found a 95 B18C1 and jumped on it. Took my time doing the swap, and it pulls HARD.. ran a 14.2 at the drag strip down here in Savannah. Fun little info bit... the "PS000287" bit in the VIN is "Production Sequence 000287"... this car was manufactured in June of 1992 in Suzuka Japan, and was on the first shipment of del Sols to see the US. #287 off the line. :D I have yet to find an older del Sol in the country. Just a cool bit of collector info. If you have a desire to put this car back to completely stock, I have the contact info for the guy who bought the swap. :) Anyways.. enough of that... on to the mods...

MODS:

ENGINE: 1995 B18C1 swap - Spoon style 4-1 header, 2.5" exhaust, *no cat*.. the cat I had was only a 2" and I didn't want to constrict the exhaust, Netami twin loop muffler, Spectre Performance intake, ECU chipped and running uberdata/conservative street program. At low RPMs she almost sounds like a subaru with the warbles in the exhaust. She sounds a lot meaner than she is lol.

EXTERIOR: ViS Techno R front bumper (Mugen replica), ViS full cf invader hood, Black Widow sideskirts (one of about 40 pairs made), Buddy Club rear bumper. Sideskirts are molded in, but not front/rear bumpers. REAR BUMPER IS SEPERATED FROM REAR QUARTER PANELS. That is the ONLY damage on the car, though, and it can be fixed, I just haven't had time to get it done. Shaved trunk lid, carbon fiber rear garnish (area around plate), Vertex Racing 1 piece black housing headlights. Phantom Silver paint.

INTERIOR: Recaro Top Fuel race seats, GReddy shift knob (red dot), Spectre Performance e brake handle, custom sub box/amp mount berhind seats.

SUSPENSION: 18" Legacy Alloy Type 475 wheels on NEW Nexen N3000 tires, Brembo cross drilled/slotted rotors, Axxis Metalmaster pads, Tein SS full coilover suspension (not installed.. in Athens), polished front strut bar, GSR goodies throughout the car (LCA's, etc).

ICE: Two 10" dual subs and amp in box behind the seats... no radio though. Rockford Fosgate sub wiring... all you need is the head unit.

Awards: 2nd place del Sol custom, Nopi Nationals 2006. 1st place conservative Honda, East Coast Invasion 2005 (Louisville, KY)

Let's talk money... as it sits right now, $8000 (slightly nego)... open to trades as well. Ideally I would be able to find a stock del Sol to trade plus cash from the stock del Sol's owner. I love del Sols, but like I said.. school takes priority and I don't need to be sitting up at night worrying about my car getting scratched.

Without seats/subs/cf rear garnish (I have stock one to replace it, but it's blue)/Teins - $6000

Without all of the above AND without the wheels (IE you bring wheels to roll her away on) - $5500.

Car is located in Savannah, GA

I hate to see her go, but I think this is in both of our best interests. Lowballers GTFO... I will NOT sell this car for $3000, or $3200 plus your shell... I am open to trade offers, but only for COMPLETE, RUNNING cars/trucks/bikes.

On with the pics.. some are from Nopi, others are from when she was stock... Oh yeah.. she has her own myspace page... www.myspace.com/Heidi93Si Pics from Nopi 2006 are as she is right now.

IMO you killed the "collector" retail by painting it, moudling the sides and all that.

is that the rear you got from me?


none the less car looks alright for a SHOWCAR. not my style but looks like it was done right.

oh and a get some bay pics

Sides can quite easily be removed.. they are molded to body tape, so all you do is sand down to find the tape, peel off, and you're done. Paint is only temporary lol.. original captiva blue paint was going to crap.

Yeah it's the rear and sides I got from you... they're not aggressor.. they're black widow.. that's why I was so quick to jump on them. ;)

Um...no....no they are not Black Widow side skirts. Ground Designs never made a Black Widow side skirt that looked like that.

^^I checked.. trust me on this one. I know aggressor sides, and these are NOT aggressor sides. If you look, black widow doesn't even list a kit for the del Sol.. they made only a scarce few of them, then discontinued them based on the customer basis... I'm 99.999% sure these are the skirts from that kit.

No, I am not "trusting" you on this one. I don't know where you are getting your info, but I can tell you it's not from Ground Designs, the makers of the Black Widow body kit, or Wings West, the makers of the aggressor body kit. The fact that I have been doing this for 10 years and sold performance parts and body kits for roughly 7 of them also causes me to not "trust" you on this one.

He wants it but another guy does too... if I was gonna be up in ATL I would rather Chris get it, since I know him, but I'm not gonna be up in ATL till Thanksgiving, and I'm really wanting the car closer to stock by then (if I can get the car back to stock then this add is gone because I'm gonna keep her).


BTLFED So all your experience is why you had them advertised as aggressor sideskirts in the first place, right?

What are you talking about? I have never owned a Del Sol, much less sideskirts for one. Let's do a bit of comparing, shall we?

Black Widow Style side skirts:

Aggressor Style side skirts:

Now which ones look more like your side skirts?

NOTE: I am not talking shit about the car. It looks very nicely done. I am just trying to help you get your facts straight.

LOL there you go, twisting what I am saying until it pisses you off. I am not saying she is a bad person (I have met her before, and she was very nice), nor am I saying the car is crap, because it is not. Actually, this one of the VERY FEW Del Sols I have seen that I actually like. If you want to think I am an asshole for correcting the style of side skirts that are on it, be my guest, but this is one of the rare times I am not trying to be one.

looking like the top fuel del Sol in appearance (minus the wing.. I'm not RWD so I don't need it lol)... stock rear bumper, stock sideskirts, stock hood, smaller wheels... basically get back to being able to enjoy my car. Right now, I really don't. :(

The top fuel del Sol:

I prolly won't go with the fender flares... I just want a car that's a bit more streetable, and right now, she's not too street friendly with Savannah streets.
