I know I have a thread or two from a while back, but i wanted to have a single, build/progress thread. So, here goes. From start, to current!

So, after having my EK sedan for over 5 years, I decided it was time to move on. Onto something different and not so comon.

My old EK Sedan:

So, I found this baby on a local forum, and fell in love with it. So, I went and picked it up. Everything checked out, and I trailered it home, 40 something miles. Southern driven car, garaged in the winters. Not a spot of rust on the frame.

'94 del Sol S
stock D15b7 with 218k on it, and it runs like its brand new!

Heres a short mod list:

Tokico Blue struts
Tein S tech springs
Blue billet aluminum rear lower control arms
front lower sway bar
14" American Racing Rims with Honda center caps
Mugen replica steering wheel
Type R replica shift boot
DA maplights

Here's the only picture I have of it that I took. Sorry its at night and from my cell phone. Once I get her all cleaned up, I'll take her out for a real shoot. So for now, here's a teaser.

B20Vtec :shock:

I've been running D-Series since I first got a Honda almost 7 years ago. Looking for something different for a change. I'd LOVE to go H-Series, but I don't want to cut apart shit just for the shifter cables.

those seats look awesome, how much did they run you?
I paid $250 WITH the rail for the one Recaro. Found a guy who offered ME that, because he was just trying to get rid of the damn thing. Had to drive 4 hours ONE way to pick it up, but for that price, I didn't care.

That's a real nice clean delsol u have there :bigok:
Thank you, sir. :)

Thanks dude. Yea, the wheels that came with it are American Racing wheels. I like them, b/c they're light. BUT, all 4 are bent. Anytime I went over 40mph the steering wheel shook like a bastard. After looking at them, they're all bent. It's not worth it to get them fixed..I'm going to just get new ones eventually. Plus, I HATE black rims.

Small update... Got the lip fully mounted, removed my Aux lights because they never worked (made a functioning air vent), and installed my S2000 push start. :)

Thanks!

I dig the LED cluster, looks good man.
Thanks! I love it, myself!

I just love that wheel, can i has it?
Sure can. Here's a link to it.
Honda Civic 92 95 Hub Steering Wheel Beginner Badge | eBay

It came on the car, and the guy I bought the car from offered to trade the OEM wheel for the wheel and hub that was on the car. Since I perfer the OEM wheel over that one, I swapped it.

the led setup looks great, did you use a how to for it? if so happen to have a link?
Thanks. I did not, actually. It's very simple. Head over to SuperBrightLED's.com, and find the bulbs, and color you want. All you do is pull the glass bulb out of the socket, and insert the LED. Simple as that. No more hard-wiring LED's in our cars. I've replaced EVERY light inside the car except for my AutoMeter gauges (which I plan on doing soon, too). If you need help with any of the LED's, feel free to PM me. Glad to help!

Not yet. I'm gonna try to this weekend if I get time since it's (finally) supposed to be nice. I'm gonna make a mock-up with a cardboard box, then convert it over into actual plexiglass.

If I could work with fiberglass, I'd do it that way instead but I dont know anything about fiberglassing. Carbon fiber would be baller, though... :cool:
