tawksick's del sol -- build thread.

[quickdodge®]

It had a baaad revving problem, leaky ass targa top seals, the speakers were all blown, and the brakes were a suicide wish.

The first thing I did was paint the valve cover pink & white.

Talk about having your priorities out of whack. Later, QD.

[DustnU]

Nice build thead, looks good so far love the stance!!

[civic gsr]

looks nice keep us updated..

[Brian*]

Sic car, but looked the best with the Nippon wheels

[Jecht]

If your D series dies, why not just replace it and boost it? Its more performance for your money.

On another note, I actually like your car. Which is uncommon to hear from me since I'm not exactly a fan of Hondas.

[Genji-Sama]

Oooh, sick. I like the polished wheels best, IMO. Very clean car, none the less

[CBEeng.]

looking good. im going to spray one tomorrow

[Nemesis]

The car was perfect when it looked like this

[swollix]

What a piece. Both the car and the owner. Not a dime piece either, so don't get that idea.

[csmiths]

I would never do a j swap. I'd just do a boosted d and make the same power with half the weight. And way less hassle.

[The Creeper]

Wreck the thing off a cliff and get a new car. Now that is a project

[Dwisforme05]

those polished te37s looked incredible on there. some polished slips would look sick too.

clean car none the less, good work.

[LENG-EG6]

BOOSTED "D" IS A WASTE!!!!!!!! SAVE YOUR MONEY A GO WITH THE "J" SWAP

[LENG-EG6]

DIFFERENT KIND OF POWER BUDDY.......

[swollix]

DIFFERENT KIND OF POWER BUDDY.......

You all drive Hondas, I am gonna go ahead and say none of you know what power is.

[The Creeper]

You know whats up.

[Evil Goat]

they are faster then a k and half the price

and twice the weight...i lol at people wanting to do j swaps in civics

all that bullshit for 200hp when you can boost your d-series for less and rape ass

[Evil Goat]

BOOSTED "D" IS A WASTE!!!!!!!! SAVE YOUR MONEY A GO WITH THE "J" SWAP

its obvious you're an idiot...JJ went 11.10@130mph on a bosted d with a stock block with some parts laying around the shop...hardly a waste, and no jswapped turd's gonna touch that

[J-ROCK]

its obvious you're an idiot...JJ went 11.10@130mph on a bosted d with a stock block with some parts laying around the shop...hardly a waste, and no jswapped turd's gonna touch that

very true! didnt he also have full interior in the car as well?

[toxxxic]

if you people havent noticed, i dont give a shit about going fast.

I'd choose the J swap over a boosted D series if money wasnt an option simply because very few people do it, and cheap out and go with the boosted b or d series.

if no one has noticed i like being different yet, you all are blind

Leng's with me!

LOL, the first thing I did that i took pictures of, tard :P

I got new brake pads and speakers the day after I got it

[LENG-EG6]

a stock "j" swap will walk all over that vette home boy

no........obvious you're an idiot cause i was saying all motor power is instant power and boost is not.......thats what i meant by different power.....and a car that makes 300 wheel all motor will always kill a turbo that makes 300 wheel.... mr know it all

[LENG-EG6]

any ways back to the build thread...........subscribe

yeah sheesh! and how long is a damn d series making 300 hp going to last? a day? a week? LOL

the most i've seen a stock d series make is like 230 ish... and that's on 11-12 pounds, which is MUCH higher than i'd feel safe with.

a j32a2 is 260hp & 232 torque. tell me what STOCK d series with a turbo kit makes that ??

[MidLifeCrisis]

I'm not getting into this shit slinging war as both ideas (boosted D and J series) have thir good points. The J swap is goofy as fuck with the horrible fitment, but they do 2 things: Make a civic sound mean, and make a civic MOVE! You will soon see bolt on J swapped civics hitting 11s with good tuning. not to mention all the turbo ones popping up now, and the fact nitrous is only one WOT tap away.

[cwood1388]

Nice build!
