Default Good News!!!

Well some of your might remember the Del Sol sucking ass when it hads its first run on the dyno after being built. One of the biggest issue was a massive amount of blow by, resulting in gobs of smoke out the exhuast and a BIG loss in power. Well, sence the RSX is down the sol has been my daily ride, and in the last 2 months of driving it something great has happend. It started working. No more smoke, definently no loss of power, the car is officialy the beast i built it to be. Turns out the rings just hadnt set yet, and my daily thrashing was just what it needed. Now the only thing holding it back from the 300+ hp is the stock cat and small exhaust and a dieing clutch. Figures the car starts working just before its sold lol.

Second on selling the RSX. That thing has some seriously bad vibes to it.

The Sol is so close to being finished, just keep it.

The Sol has to be sold in order to fix the RSX and the Del Sol will still be at the meet to kick your butt

Good to hear it finally worked out for you. Now stick it on a dyno and see what it really is capable of.
