Xeryon Posted February 6, 2009 Share Posted February 6, 2009 ^ I second that. It's an old car, fix it. You are not likely to find a Sol that doesn't need at least a little repair as well. This one needs repair, m's newest Sol needs repair, mine needed repair... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrIaN EG2 Posted February 6, 2009 Author Share Posted February 6, 2009 Who do you get to do all your mods while your in the sand?

Ben. Posted February 7, 2009 Share Posted February 7, 2009 I associate anything involving him and his car with that which is sh*t. NOthing against his as I'm sure it'll come out decent.. Oh, the 14's he had on his car looked horrendous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hondahunter Posted February 7, 2009 Share Posted February 7, 2009 Sol looks good! Not in bad shape, and gotta love the S seats! hold up so much better! Though I prefer my skunk stripe uncolored I know you'll fix her up right! GL! you suck give me the seats now you dont need them i may be interested. yours are cloth though aren't they :( i wants leathers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrIaN EG2 Posted February 7, 2009 Author Share Posted February 7, 2009 you could tackle doing the clutch and flywheel. not hard. i did mine on jackstands by myself. my tranny is damn heavy too oh the only reason im not doing it is because the day before i left for iraq the clutch went out so i bought a new clutch and flywheel and put it in the trunk. my step dad is having his friend come pick it up at the house with his flat bed and taking it to the bigger shop so the clutch and flywheel can be replaced then itll be taken to my grandparents house out in BFE to sit in their garage until i get home and pick it up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AccordHEART Posted February 7, 2009 Share Posted February 7, 2009 Car looks decent enough. First thing I would work on is that wheel gap though. JDM 4x4 = Not FTW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrIaN EG2 Posted February 7, 2009 Author Share Posted February 7, 2009 yeah im looking at some teins right now.. theyll drop it 3 inches if i can find a different suspension that will drop it more and is still a good well known brand i might get those instead.

BrIaN EG2 Posted February 8, 2009 Author Share Posted February 8, 2009 well ive been in a sol that had the teins im looking at, it didnt ride too harsh at all suprisingly ::EDIT:: i dont know if there is anything that is much worse than my friends EK9 when he had the skunk2 coils on it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You said 3 inches or more, 3 inches is pretty extreme. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xeryon Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 Anyone have any pics of what 3 inches lowered on a Honda looks like, that isn't a show car? For fun I am going to bottom out the sedan when the weather breaks. Supposedly the F&F will go 3.5 down. With the Skunk2 camber kits I should be able to get enough tilt to still be able to drive it. The real question is if I can get up and out of my driveway since the road is about 6 inches higher up. I might need some 2x12 ramps just to get onto the street. Even if it doesn't stay I want to see what the sol looks like sitting on the frame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pballer2005 Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 get bags, you can ride as low as you want at any time, and they will handle better than stock Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrIaN EG2 Posted February 9, 2009 Author Share Posted February 9, 2009 my friend mike (not pearce) has his black sol si on a 3 inch drop with enkei's and it looks damn good, i dont see what all the hate is about but whatever.. and he's is the one that has the same teins im looking at for my sol. it doesnt ride too harsh compared to nitsans EK9 that had the skunk2 coils with a 2 inch drop.

I couldn't go that low permanently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CRG7 Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 I have a 2.5" drop on my Sol, would not recommend going any lower if you ever want to be able to drive the car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pballer2005 Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 I already have problems getting out of my driveway at a 2in drop. I couldn't go that low permanently. the idea with bags is that you can adjust the height by pushing a button. can we see pictures of ur friends car (the one lowered 3 inches)?
