Hi DelSolUK!
I bought this delsol a while back now, last year somewhen. Id been searching for a resonable milage delsol for a while with a manual roof and the d16 engine in it. So i went over there and had a look, the arches were slightly rusty but it was a good base so i bought it. The guy said it had a re-map, which was proved by the paper work and said it was running 148bhp which was a bonus and the plate he said i could have too, which was valued at £800 at the time. It had HID's but they broke on the way home which i wasnt happy about, so i just took it all out and put it back to standard to get me home. Heres some pictures of the first day i got it home.
The arches had a slight hole in them. which was patched up to pass mot, but is going in the body shop to get cut out and painted.
i received these a couple days after getting the car.But they were pretty hard, because they had 18k front and 16 rear. But now i have 10k and 8k on, it was too hard to drive around where i live, the roads are so bad.
So i put them on with some omni polished lca's and a chrome lower tie bar
I had also bought some xxr002's cheap brand new, but was just wondering what tyres to put on, so i bit the bullet and went with 195/45's they dont look to bad.
i bought a pair of s2000 seats of a friend and got them in, but ive only got a picture of when one was in , so that will have to do for the moment and had a dish steering wheel put in to. I did have a snap off kit aswell but i didnt know how high the driving postion would be so left it off for now.
i have done a few bits to the engine to, but i havnt got any pictures. But ive got an fse power boost valve, 4-2-1 japspeed manifold and de-cat,blue ht leads and a polished valve cover but theres still loads to do under the bonnet. Took the delsol up the strip in august and managed a low 17, but it was my first time and im pretty sure im a slow gear changer lol...i need more practise, but heres a few pictures.
At the moment im smoothing a front bumper off. im trying to do the whole Vgi bumper look, i gave up looking for one ages ago. Also the aerial is due to be smoothed off but will take some pictures when its done.
Heres my progress so far ....
The aim is to clean up the bay and sort out the body work, then turbo it later on. But this is a long way away....cheers for looking.
