My black sIR converted sol now going turbo :D

Postby lanky » Wed Apr 30, 2014 1:09 pm

HI all have been a member on here for ages and have never really said a lot but always loved del sols i bought my first one at 17 and drove that for a year but then my insurance went up massively so i had to sell but always missed it and knew i would have another one sooner or later here is a brief history of my cars now to then.

Image
A civic next
Image
All my mates are VAG enthusiasts peer pressured me into buying a polo after i sold the civic :oops:
Image

But finally i have ended with a delsol again which has a really good spec but is pretty rotten i have plans to bring her back to her former glory i work in a garage and next door is a classic car specialist welders we do jobs for them and in return we help each other out.
Here is how she stands now
Image

Image

the car has gone through quite a few changes...

I really like the silver Sol, shame you had to get rid. Do you know where it went?

Looks like you've got plenty of work ahead of you 8)

Nice job on that bonnet :) hope this build goes well I sort of sometimes wish I'd waited for an SiR to come up but after missing out on a couple I settled for a VTI

I wouldnt worry about going too low boost. With decent management (absolutely essential) you can run a bar easily. Its all in the mapping and the quality of your engine management. I recommend Hondata S300
The Sol has passed on but its 370bhp heart is soon to live on in a MK2 CRX track car :-)

298.7whp (350-370bhp) + 220wtrque @ .9BAR GT3071r with more to come on the new build
