My Del Sol...
Hey guys, I've been getting alot of PM's inquiring about my car so I thought I'd FINALLY post pics up for the TCC community. I was kind of afraid to post up any info on the car because of the high theft rate in Toronto, but it seems like alot of ppl know about it by now anyways haha.
I used to be pretty active on the boards and went to meets on a weekly basis, back in the days when I had my EG.
I sold her in 2003 and moved onto an Integra sedan.
I finally got bored of the Teg and wanted to try something new, so I picked up a Sol from a friend and started working on it. I started with a lip kit, Buddy Club Racing Spec Coilovers, 17" Buddy Club P1 II Plus wheels, and some audio. I didn't want to do much more to it, but I started getting bored so I made the decision to drop in a JDM B18C GSR motor in October.
By mid-October, I had the chance to see some K20 action so I decided to do something nutty... do something I've always wanted to do with a Honda... go all out. The build-up started on Dec. 15 and the car was back on the road for Performance World on March 9th.
Here are some build pics, but a complete write-up/commentary can be found on www.k20a.org (http://www.k20a.org/forum/showthread.php?t=11251)

Suspension bits installed:
Blablabla, she's finally ready to roll!
Ahhh, I still remember driving her for the first time... scared out of my mind!
Special thanks and props go to:
- Pat & Joee at A.R.T. Motorsports in Thornhill where the car was built, they helped me out BIG TIME! I was there every day for 3 months working on this thing haha
- Velocity Autobody in Markham where the car was painted, they did a crazy job on the car.
- The family at Shinzowerks Automotive Graphics and Ignited Performance! We always have good times...
- John, Baldwin, and Richie at OptionJDM for always tempting me with new parts to buy
- Eric & Nick at Teknotik for keeping me company some days at the shop and pointing out just how slow my progress was haha.
- Ric at Precision Rim Repair for keeping a Rim ***** happy
- SPC Performance for making bad *** suspension components and using my car for their booths
And lastly, my RSquadron team mates... we've been going strong since 01 baby!
Oh yeah... 56k BEWARE hahaha

I hate how every comment starts with "I hate Del Sols, but..." or "Del Sol's are such girl cars, but..." HHAHA
Thanks for the nice comments everyone!
doggy69247> ? I'm not really sure what you're trying to ask me
ontariorider> Sorry dood, I should have sent you pics a while back! hahaha. No, haven't done any track days with her yet... I'm too scared to beat on her like that.
Preludeking> Thanks, wanna buy them? I have a bet that they'll sell faster than some guy's 15" Euro wheels (hahahaha)
