Nitrousbird Posted September 15, 2003 Report Share Posted September 15, 2003 IMO, sell the car, and buy something that is a better base for modding. You could probably sell it and pick up an AWD 1G DSM for the same money. Do you really want to be another Honda guy slowing down the lanes at the track running a blistering 16-22 second 1/4 mile??

Guest mudbutt Posted September 15, 2003 Report Share Posted September 15, 2003 If It were 5 speed Id say turbo it. the greddy kit works well and is fairly inexpensive. But with the trouble of converting from auto to manual on a car that wont be THAT fast, you are best to mod a different car. Even if you insist on a del-sol, sell yours and buy a 5 speed. Auto-manual swaps are about retarded. In all actuality you could buy a car with a lot more potential for what you could sell the del sol for. Fox mustang, 3rd gen or early 4th gen f-body, rx-7 T2,mk3 supra, dsm, etc. Joel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buck531 Posted September 16, 2003 Report Share Posted September 16, 2003 domestics are tight, i just cant afford 1 aren't Imports genneraly MORE expensive than a domestic? . You can buy an '90 Honda accord for what.. $5-7k? You could probably get a LT-1 F-body for that much.. if not cheaper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SHIEF Posted September 18, 2003 Report Share Posted September 18, 2003 $1000 bucks more? B-series around $2000, H-series $2500. Both can be had for less. As for motor mounts, you make them so the motor sets where you want it, unlike hasport mounts, which don't put the motor where it needs to be all the time. Hmm I spent a whopping $50 making mine tongue.gif . There is just as much aftermarket support for H22's as any B-series (go do some research). It may be 40hp, but it's 50lbs of torque. And not that I really cared what people thought of my car, but more people would look at my crx and go graemlins/eek2.gif because of what motor was in it, compared to another honda that ran 10's sitting side by side. It just made me feel that any amount of money I spent on the car made it worth it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
