Default Look what I found!

I already posted this in the pics thread, but anyway, look what I found on my way to work:94 Del Sol, 104k miles. Bought it for $3300.




It appears as though it has already had an engine swap done to it
Shifts and runs like a dream. Now the only question is what modifications to do first...

Congrats. I hope it doesn't have any phantoms with that swap though.

it doesnt seem to. Vtec kicks in right at 5500 rpm. Everything is responsive, It doesnt use or burn any oil. Both of my honda savvy pals think it runs great.

what makes you think it was swapped? sols came with b16s...

Why? Not much of a need to... unless you're in a very high heat climate.

wrong. the stock del Sol VTEC radiator is good enough. you can tell this is a del Sol VTEC because it has the bigger radiator, stock intake setup, and stock strut bar.
