Jeffrey Posted May 16, 2011 Share Posted May 16, 2011 Hi all, new here. Names jeff and i just aquired through trade a 94' del sol si, and i love it. heres the specifics. d16z engine 5 speed manual leather seats a/c and power steering still. 100% complete and mostly stock. its sitting on steelie 14's right now, but want to change that in a few months. Heres some pics, be nice, its rough, but runs like a champ... Of course, like all new guys, ive got questions that im sure have been asked before, but as this is my intro thread, i thought id put it all in one. first off, where can i get a rear subframe connector that i see in all the pictures, i'd like this to be a stiff car in the corners. Also, i'd like to put a front spoiler on it, but have no clue as to where to start? if you have cool wheels on your del sol, post a pic, im still looking for some wheel ideas, i want something with a nice offset and NON STRETCH WALL TIRES. i'd really like to stay with a 15 as well.

Raley Posted May 16, 2011 Share Posted May 16, 2011 Front spoiler is called a lip to us, civic ones fit with little mods, search 94 civic subframe brace, find one you think looks good but strut tower bars are better Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pluckedchicken Posted May 16, 2011 Share Posted May 16, 2011 Hi Jeff I'm new here myself, welcome from one newbie, to another newbie. If ya get all mod crazy and go for a complete bumper cover, let me know... I'll take your stock cover off your hands.. I've got 15x7 with 205/50s .... Not exactly cutting edge styling but I think they look nice ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeffrey Posted May 17, 2011 Author Share Posted May 17, 2011 none that i know of, i just figured the steering wheel has been in the hot Texas sun for so long it made it change colors, same with the pass. side airbag cover is the srs light suposed to be on?

It really makes me laugh that the only accident it says it had was when i hit a mexican and the chipping paint didn't even chip... her bumper was already falling off and she said I did it. then she got the ticket for no brake lights. hahahhaha!!!

Jeffrey Posted May 17, 2011 Author Share Posted May 17, 2011 thats alright raley, my car was wrecked when it was just 4!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrIaN EG2 Posted May 19, 2011 Share Posted May 19, 2011 im a tad late but check JHPUSA.com for the subframe brace.. they carry alot of great parts for a pretty good price and welcome to the forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeffrey Posted May 19, 2011 Author Share Posted May 19, 2011 thanks, anybody else have any suggestions for a tighter suspension? it almsot feels spineless with the top off. the last car i owned with a targa was a 84' vette, id like it to be about that stiff. im thinking subframe brace, big sway bars, coil overs, and stiffer shocks on the coils Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raley Posted May 19, 2011 Share Posted May 19, 2011 Also strut bars or x brace. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
