New Pics!

[YokotaS13]

got bored tonigvht so i decided to cruise around and find some places to take pics at, here are the results. i took around 40 pics but these are the best!
And its on steelies now, took the rotas off. didnt wanna wear the tires down for no reason.

[Julio]

So since You called Jeff Guise Car Rice ( silver and blue civic ) and John marsh eclipse also rice..... What is your consider?

[YokotaS13]

stock except suspension
I have made no motor mods, know im not fast, the seat is for autox and spirited driving, i found that the stock isnt as supportive as id like, the only other mods i have are a d2 coilover setup energy suspension bushing kit(all of em), progress rear sway, skunk2 camber arms, and rota subzeros that arent on.
THe hood is stupid, ill admit, but thats a bad choice it was supposed to be CF, but i got orders to japan so i said fvck that.

so as per the rice comment, my car is stock except for things that have a specific function, no bodykits, no wings, no chrome nothing. Rice i think not...wel maybe the hood, but i dont liek it anyways

[Jaimecbr900]

I told you it was a bad idea to bad mouth people you don't even know.

Now, I'd suggest you put your flame suit on cause it's comin'......and to be honest, you asked for it......

[Subleg4]

Oh well since you dont even like your hood its not rice.

hah fuckin retard, if u had any clue as too how much time and $$ Jeff G has put into his car, u still prob woudlnt care cause u suck hahaha!!

oh ya, and change ur damn user name, you have no Tsi spyder, you drive a fucking DEL SOL!! a del sol dude, haha...a del sol thats still funny, especially since u were saying shit. ahhahahha

[Julio]

In a previous post you said you had a 8k budget to build your car... All I have to say is, I hope your not done and you have some money left. Because it looks terrible.

All that money and you car looks like that,,,, I would hang myself.

[YokotaS13]

8k including car, paint, stereo, rims, tires, maintenance to get it right, parts i had to get from junkyards(door handles windshield cowl etc.)
not just mods. It was everythign start to finish that i spent. I think i did rather well when my entire goal was to handle well.

on and hte tsispyder comment, im working on another one, im going to buy the shell before i leave for japan, and build it when i come home on leave.

[Subleg4]

so its true that u have $8k in ur del sol?

[Julio]

So how much did the car cost like 5 ? because the rest I cant see it.. well you do have d2 suspension.. so what between 700 to 900 for that so that lives you with about 2 k... Yeah, i can see it ... you pay what you get for.

[YokotaS13]

ill break it down
3200 for car
800 for d2
150 for skunk2 arms
450 for wheels
350 for tires
100 for seat
100 for wheel
320 rear sway bar
around 800 for fiberglass box, center console
350 autoloc door shave kit
around 500 in labor on the shaving and stuff
free paint job for 2 7 inch tvs
120 energy suspension bushing kit
a huge amount of supplies
tune up and itming belt stuff
time to pay for hobby shop usage
brake pads and rotors (oem)-200
had to get a new amp, old one blew-350
i can go on and on. But in all reality i think i ended up decently. I ended up with about 100 in maintenance, alignments, supplies and stuff. the rest went to eerythign else.

[Jaimecbr900]

What I'm not understanding is: Why all the suspension work? Do you race it? If so, how do you plan on being competitive with a stock everything else? I don't get it.

[Julio]

you shouldve paid for the paint job...

[Julio]

Do they allow you to autocross with shave handles? Im not sure, dont know much about autocross.
Dont know why he shaved the handle on a non show car.... Now that ='s rice right durrrrrr

[Scrappy]

julio you are too smart! i didnt even catch that... lol

[Jaimecbr900]

See where I was going????

[YokotaS13]

the shaving was done, becuase i didnt know where i was going with the car in the long run. so i went ahead and did it. but the solenoids we had on hadn at the shop werent strong enough so i had to spend more money blah blah

And yes the paint sucks ass. i was slightly pissed, but the origional paint job was MUCH worse. i could literally peel it off, the previous owner tried to do it himself.
Basically, the car was meant to be autoX. That was the origional plan, it still will be hopefully soon up in ATL. I just have to get a damn weekend off, i have had to work weekend duty for the past few. i was plannign on putting in a b16a2, or Ls engine into it and putting intake header on it and being done with it.
I had long term plans, but now that im going ot japan, its not really worth it. Ill start another car over there along with finishiing my 4g63 build for a spyder.

However i will admit my first car was deff rice, a 95 integra LS. i learned after that one though.

[Brett]

I will go ahead and say this now.....

[YokotaS13]

: shrug: it will keep me busy at work.

[yerrow]

doesn't look like you learned anything

[YokotaS13]

believe me i have. i refuse to use a body kit, clear tailights, or any wings! or do anythig that has no function for hte most part.
and your wagon is pimp as hell by the way. if it is a wagon...i cant tell for sure in the small pic. but yeah i think it is.

[99ITRGIRL]

cool pics

[YokotaS13]

thanks

Yeah us ricers with body kits and shit!! DAMN US!!

[YokotaS13]

its just not my thing, I like clean kits that are functional liek cwest adn stuff. But im not a fan of shitty fitting cheap blitz kits nad stuff. Its clean resembles stock bodylines and stuff, I liek it. But thats few and far between. The stillen front end on DSMs is an example.

[Brett]

Thats why I picked my kit, flws very wel with the body lines, blends in with the car very well

[YokotaS13]

i havent seen day pics of your car i dont remmeber, so i cant say anything.

[Brett]

click my car domain link in my signature...lol

[YokotaS13]

thatll teach me to pay more attention huh

Yeah see, that look 90% stock with an aggressive lip kit added, an SI wing (right?) and stock tailights. its clean, im not a fan of the headlights. But thats just me. Certain body kits i can deal with, yours isnt really a kit as much as looking liek accentuation.

[Cliff]

that's an ex spoiler...ex spoilers and si spoilers are nearly the same if not the same

[YokotaS13]

oh ok

[Brett]

Cliff, they are the same, But my car didnt come with one, I had that put on when I started doing the car, That was the only wing I felt worked well with the lines of the car

[Cliff]

mine came without the spoiler so i never could compare them and i put the gsr spoiler on mine and it looked really good cause it was low and swept with the body lines

[HyPer50]

My only question is this, you paid $400 for rims right? Are those steelies or are my eyes bad?

[Cliff]

he bought rims but he said he is running the steelies so he doesn't wear out the tires on the rims....dumb to me but to each his own

[Dave]

very RICE car if you ask me!

[Sirius R]

ill break it down

free paint job for 2 7 inch tvs

Broken TVs I hope....

And let me see if I have this right, you have new wheels and tires but you would rather drive around in steelies so you dont waste the rubber? It's not a show car, so your not concerned about messing up a wheel and its a stock motor in a Del Sol.....maybe selling the $400 wheels and buying a huge wing and body kit would be a better fit with the door popers and "speed streaked" hood.

[4dmin]

did you say jeff g. & john m. were rice??? oh shit... Jeff G. is a legend in the show scene, that car has been around and is a staple in the show scene. John M. not only is that a show car but i know for a fact that car isn't just show, that turbo eclipse would rape your car & he has probably 500lbs of audio in that thing.

[YokotaS13]

i didnt see any engine shots of it, but anyone who puts tailights from a car that is a completely different make, is rice in my book..
But like i said, they look good dont get me wrong, i just have a different ideal of DSMs.
And for hte Rims. Im trying to sell them also, so i figured itd be a decent idea tot take them off in case someone wants them. they are on teh car in the cardomain gallery.

and you wont see me putting a bodykit on anythign i own....except if i get a sti wagon in japan, then maybe. but other than that nah.

I have not seen this guys eclipse, but im betting it is nicer than your car. and you can get a hood at the junkyard for like $100 so you should becasue that black stripe is killing you man... nice suspension though. i bet it handles like its on rails

[Jaimecbr900]

If you are all about "function" over looks, what's the fart can do for you then????? What about the shaved handles and emblems? Those gonna help you in autox????

I don't understand something else. You keep talking about DSM this DSM that. Not only do you NOT own a DSM NOW, but you keep talking about how you aint gonna in the future either. What's the deal with that? Why all the DSM talk if you don't even have one????

Talk about what you do have for a minute. A STOCK Del Sol with some suspension work and a little bit of stereo work. That's it my man.

Yet, you with the basically stock Del Sol are talking smack about guys that have spent more on just their paint work than you have on your entire car and everything in it. It may not be everyone's cup of tea, but it is certainly theirs. Obviously more people agree since they could fill a room full with the trophies and accolades won to your 3-4 my friend.

I may not have orange flames on the side of my car or 25" chrome rims either. But I certainly can give credit where credit is due even when it's not what I have on my car. Both those guys have led the way in the show scene for a long time. Neither your Eclipse nor your Del Sol could hold a candle to either car any day of the week and twice on Sunday. Learn to respect other people's, especially those you don't know anything about, cars that have been shown to be perennial winners.

Believe me people around here will call a dog a dog in a sec. They'll call rice that too in a split sec. I'm willing to bet way more people will call you rice before they'll call either one of those guys rice. Wanna bet?
