I am new to the board and wanted to introduce myself. Don't know what the rules are here as far as n00bs, just thought I would play it safe...lol...pic of my ride on my avatar.

Nice ride! :thumbup: Got any bigger pics?? What kinds of mods and what do you use the car for? Race, show, or just your average, everyday scooter! Again, welcome to the board!! If you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask!

Sol Man

Thanks for the warm welcome...hehe, have to be honest, I was ready for the n00b hazing! If it is still to come, I am ok with it, it's only fair haha! Mods below...it's basically my daily driver and it's just about done. Might try showing it but not racing it until I get my engine swap done.

look better if you lost that body kit up front and dropped a motor in it. Other than that, I love the color and wheels. Those 17's?

PS - **** ALTEZZAS!

How's the fitment of the front bumper. Where did you get it at? Is it a knock-off? Is it fiberglass? How much was it? Nice car BTW. I have a friend with those same wheels.

Sol Man

It's a Black Widow Street Fighter One...supposedly authentic, but the fitment on the drivers side headlight makes me wonder. It's actually a 93 bumper, but I had the fog lights fiberglassed in. It's a 97 and that is the only year I care for in my opinion becuase I don't care for the foglights on the 93-96. That and it's virtually impossible to find a SF1 in a 97 form. They started making the SF2 for the 97 model so you don't find the SF1 for 97's . Wheels are Rota Impacts, 17's (see post of mods). I love them, but I am needing new tires soon. Either going to upgrade to TS-1's or maybe go Parada...not sure. That front bumper will look so good with an intercooler stuffed in there. He he, can you say B20-T?:fawk:

exxxxccccuuuuuusssse meh

anyways, nice color. I really do like that. I need to get mine repainted too, I want to keep it black, but I'm having second thoughts. I REEEAAALLLLYYY like blue. I had a Mazda MX3 that same color and I miss it. So IF I were to repaint it a different color, it'd be either blue or white. Everytime I see a white del sol, I just love it. I think they look so nice in white.

Sol Man....you know...the '96s didn't have the auxillary lights either, it was only '93-95...just thought I'd clear that up.

Welcome!

sxecrow

I was always wondering why some had aux lights and others didnt because I thought it had to do with the trim of the car. Geez, I feel like a moron now, hah.

Sol Man

Is that right? I was almost positive it was only the 97's that don't have lights. Was it all trim levels in 96 (S, Si, VTEC) or was it just a certain level cause I have seen some 96's with lights and some without and I just thought they had been in a wreck and put a 97 bumper on it. I guess you can never stop learning :naughty:
