its those damn center high beams. I had someone tell me my sc looks like a del sol once.

My gf has a 93 Si with jdm H22A , full urethane xenon kit, progress full coilovers, DC header, Apexi N1 exhaust, zex dry nitrous kit. I enjoy driving it

i originally bought the sol because it looked like an sc. being 16 at the time it was all i could afford but getting it for 9k with 9k on the odometer wasnt all that bad. the the person who asked. its a t3/t04z trim. bb turbo with a custom cut compressor housing. makes full boost at 3500. it put down 305 at 8psi and wrecks havock on the auto x tracks. its a nice car but its defn not as comfortable as the sc. here is a pic of under the hood....

haha awesome, more del sol "likers" coming out of the woodwork. i get the girly jokes all the time (which i know is true) but its funny when i spank on mildly built cameros and such. 300 hp with only 2338lbs feels like a go kart on crack.

traction isnt bad, just cant launch it like its n/a anymore. i have to feather it off the line on a launch but once i get moving it pulls very nice. I actually am using uberdata, my buddy dave blundel out of cinci created the program crome and i use the bin data files from that and transfer it to uberdata so i can set timing easier. I still get 26 mpg when im not on it and have no trouble with pinging even on hot days. for as much **** as everyone gives them, hondas are pretty resiliant to my abuse

i'm biased, sell the honda!!
over 550whp on pump, all day everyday.
a hair under 700whp w/ a splash of C16
very, very drivable @ this lower HP level.
(your wallet is the only limiting factor for more HP)
nice stable road car, no tracker trailers shaking this thing.
can be made to handle like a supra.
woodgrain, leather, power everything.
WHAT ELSE COULD YOU ASK FOR?
