New old guy

Recommended Posts

Pearce finally talked me into signing up on here. I believe this completes my membership on every honda forum that ever existed... from honda-tech, turbod, d-series, solsociety, hmt, and the list goes on and on.

 

I am in the process of tweaking my Sol which over the last few winters to compete in autocross, to compete in time attack next summer. I am typically a real understated type of guy and the Sol goes by nearly unnoticed at meets. so i'll let you all in on a secret: This is one of the best built street driven Sol's in the country.

 

Enough talk and on to the pictures:

you ever ran 1/4?

 

 

I tuned at the drag strip doing 3rd gear pulls. Everyone was asking why I was running 15's. :ninja:

 

 

 

The videos are from the first autocross event with the new setup. so let me start with "excuses"

the tires are A032R H tires so they never warmed up, sway bar wasnt dialed in, LSD broke a washer during tuning and was not working effectively... and all in all I wasn't driving up to snuff

I would have to agree there as it's gotta be one of the best modified Del Sol's I've seen online and otherwise. I didn't know you had that ASR sway bar/subframe brace combo as that's reallly nice. How do you like it? Can you feel a big difference?

 

Welcome by the way, it's been a while since I've seen you post on SS too.

 

I didn't think you were pushing that much boost but that's pretty nice.

Yea that bumper posted above is the same one, different names, same bumper.

 

 

For time attack all I am really doing it tweaking the performance for a little more power up top with the quickest spool possible. To fit into the "street class" I need to add a cat and get less sticky tires... which is crap, I should be allowed into the class with the car the way I drive it on the street

I was, but I am in the Rochester area now, I really wont be back "home" for a while.

 

 

 

As for how much I have into it, I have no idea. I have been through so many different setup and I've bought and sold so many parts for profit its impossible to figure it out.

You didn't include this picture....you bastard. I have to say I like this picture. Is that for the winter or just working on the car?

I rented out the garage with a couple of friends for winter... and of course I can't help myself as soon as it got too cold out for the car I brought it in and started tearing it down. The car is nearly stripped right now and ready for the next setup. (nearly the entire current setup is for sale)
