    Default My current project... Bringing rice up from the ashes

    just thought id make a thread to share what my current project is right now. any input or support is greatly appreciated!

    the patient is a 94 del Sol S... when i purchased it, it had a full buddy club body kit, x2 fenders, a HUGE wing, some nasty vinyl stripes, tinted carbon taillights, halo auxillary lamps, aluminum floormats, painted vents and speaker covers, blue interior neon lights, and some bigass 17s. under the hood? D15B7 (102hp / 92 tq). I took off the wing and vinyls right when I got the car, but everything else has stayed intact thus far. I've driven this thing as long as I can stand, and I'm finally putting my foot down. I finally have some money in the bank, and over the next couple of months, shes going under the knife.

    I've already purchased OEM bumpers, fenders, sideskirts, taillights, corner lights, and interior pieces. I have a full set of Tein SS in the mail to slam her to the ground. The wheels will be swapped for some bronze 15s or 16s. She'll be getting a fresh coat of championship white paint and some carbon goodies to go with it. A front lip will be added to the new OEM bumper. And what good is a panda color scheme without some nice tint?

    ...And most importantly, the SOHC non-VTEC has got to go. Coming Soon: B18C1

    I'll keep everyone updated as the project comes along.

    CURRENT:

    haha yeah man you are definitely right there with him... alot of the exact same elements. you get those EDM aux lights and the JDM one-pieces, and you'll definitely be on top.

    lol for real though, your sol is clean as shit. when im done, were definitely meeting up and taking some pictures.

    i appreciate it man. i have alot of respect for the squad... when i finish the car im gonna have to come check you guys out up at barrett or whatever. the very small non-rice portion thereof, anyways.

    speaking of barrett, i got pulled over about half an hour coming home from sushi, for "driving suspiciously"... . said i was changing lanes too frequently. haha whatever he was actually pretty nice so i dont care.

    and yeah... speedminded: noel is practically a sol god. his car is the biggest reason it took me so long to choose between champ white and granada black.

    I think black with those rims would be hot? What wheels are those, I dont think I've ever seen them before.

    Del Sols always amazed me, I'm 6'9" and I've got enough leg room/pedal room in these cars but my head sticks out the top.
