JDM Reverend Posted December 31, 2009 Share Posted December 31, 2009 My name is Sean and I'm from Detroit Michigan. I moved out to North Phoenix in 1997 with my mom, who recently passed away from Cancer in September of 07. I'm 29 and I love Hondas. I have been involved with Honda del Sol’s since 2004. I used to own a 1982 Delorean, and I remember seeing a Black Honda del Sol one day and i thought to myself of what a sharp looking car it was. So when I sold that Deloresn, I really needed a reliable daily driver. I found a Captiva Blue del Sol for sale on Autotrader, called the guy up for a test drive, and I instantly fell in love with it after I drove it. I eventually sold it because someone offered me WAY more than I paid for it, and I realized that this was something that I could do to make some extra cash, buying and selling del Sol’s. So I bought all the local sol’s that were decently priced and resold them after I put some cosmetic repair into them. Then I started traveling to California to find other sol’s that needed minor work and resold them here in Arizona. Now the project car that i’m working on right now is a 1992 Honda del Sol SiR with Transtop. I bought it back in 2006 from a guy in Buffalo, NY. He bought it from some now defunct import company, and tried to register it, which almost worked but he was missing some paperwork and they only gave him a plate, an issued vin, and registration, but no title. When I first picked it up, it was a Captiva Blue color, the driverside seat was blown, and had some various dings and scratches. It was a far cry from the "perfect condition" that it was advertised as, but I didn’t care though, it was a real deal SiR, and I flew 2k miles to get here. So I drove this thing all the way from NY to AZ in about 3 days. Had a few issues, a transmission oil leak and a really really weird ECU/fuel cut off problem, but I was happy none the less. I drove this car like I stole it everywhere. Being on the RIGHT side is hella fun. Plus you get looks everywhere you go, and that’s just what i’m looking for because i’m an attention whore ^_^ just keeping it real folks. lol. Finally after much debate and consideration, I decided to tear down the car and redo it from the ground up as a Mugen CR-X Pro 3. The Pro.3 kit from Mugen is just… in my personal opinion... sex. I fell in love with that kit after I saw Noel Hinas "del boosto" black del Sol with the Mugen kit on it. I wanted my car to be just like that, or atleast inspired by that. Moving on to the present, the del Sol is on it's way to being finished. Only thing that needs to be done is the engine build, and I still have some rare Mugen goodies to collect. Here are my current plans for the build: Interior JDM EG2 SiR Seats (Blue Stripe) MUGEN Sports Pedal Set 5MT (46545~XG5~K2S0) MUGEN Shift Knob 5MT Anodized Blue (54102~XG4~K0S0~BU) MUGEN SW4 Sterring Wheel* MUGEN Steering Wheel Hub (53130~XG5~K1S0) MUGEN Reserve Tank Cover (90000~YZ7~0054) JDM EG2 Powered By Honda Shift Boot JDM EG2 Map Lights (34230~SR2~013ZA / 34235~SR2~013ZA) JDM EG2 Sun Visors (83280~SR2~J01 ZA / 83230~SR2~J11 ZA) JDM EG2 Gathers Rear Speaker Grills JDM EG2 Floor Mats Gray (08P14-SR2-060 / 08P16-SR2-A10) JDM EG2 Climate Control Exterior Frost White (NH-538) MUGEN Rear Spoiler (84112-XG7-K0S0-B) MUGEN Front Aero Cover/Bumper (62511-XG7-K1S0) MUGEN Side Steps (70219-XG7-K0S0-R) USDM Hood Bra Rear OEM Mudflaps JDM EG2 Lower Fog Lamps w/switch (08V31-SR2-600) Yellow JDM EG2 Headlights (33100-SR2-J03) JDM EG2 Taillights JDM EG2 License Plate Filler Panels JDM EG2 Side Marking Lamps (33800~SR3~J01 / 33850~SR3~J01) JDM EG2 Rear Badge (CR-X Del Sol ~ 75765~SR2~J02ZE) JDM EG2 Rear Badge (SiR ~ 75723~SR2~J12ZE) JDM EG2 Side Decals (DOHC ~ 75772~SR2~003ZE) JDM EG2 Side Decals (VTEC ~ 75774~SR2~003ZE) JDM Rear Glass Parking Decal JDM Front Glass Parking Decal JDM Front Glass Maintenance Decal JDM Transtop System Engine JDM B16A SiR II 1992 Motor B17 Crankshaft P61 Rods MUGEN Engine Mounts MUGEN 4-1 Header MUGEN High Performance Intake (17200-XG9R-K1S0) MUGEN Formula Valve/Head Cover (12310-XG7-K1S0) (Painted Alumilite Blue) MUGEN Billet Oil Cap Silver (1st Gen) MUGEN Fan Switch (37760-XK5-00N0) MUGEN Radiator Cap (19045-XGER-0000) MUGEN Thermostat (19301-XGER-0000) MUGEN Tank Covers (90000-YZ7-0054) MUGEN Oil Pan (11200-XJ1-0000) MUGEN Magnetic Drain Bolt Set MUGEN Sport Exhaust Teardrop Suspension MUGEN Front Tower Bar (74300~XGER~K1S0) MUGEN Rear Tower Bar (74380~XGER~K1S0) MUGEN Showa Suspension Wheels/Tires MUGEN MR-5 25th Anniversary’s Anodized Alumilite Blue MUGEN Wheel Nut & Lock Set (08181-XXB-K0S0-BL) I.C.E.
