Young_'s 1993 Del Sol S

[young_]

Whats next on your mod list??

Ahh, I really don't want to do much to the motor, since I plan on swapping. But it really all depends on my next paycheck. Definitely looking into a wink mirror. Probably might throw an intake on there just cause it's something cheap and easy.

The car looks nice. maybe ill update my del sol thread too. i love seeing the inspiration around here. I'm actually gonna start putting some more time into my sol since its been neglected for so long.

Do it

Damn that's vary clean (other than the blue lol) interior is nice and looks like the body is in great shape also! Seems like a great vase to build off of. Needs rims asap tho lol

That's how I got when I fully decided to go stick. Now that I have it it's definitely fun but I do sometimes miss auto. I think I'll enjoy it more when I'm all the way used to it.


Anyways... Cool update today, went through the glovebox and found the original, from 1993, roof protector tabs in the original packaging. Paper and all. As well as the original warranty information booklet, the original service manual/owners manual, the original window sticker, and all the service records. I love this s**t lol

Pics tomorrow!

it's always good to find the original documentation for the car, as well as service records and believe me, you won't be missing auto for very much longer. once driving a manual becomes a part of your driving, you'll be wondering how you even coped with an automatic in the first place.

Didn't get too much done today because I woke up bleeding from my ear. :/ BAD ASS ear infection. Had to get a shot of Rocephin in my ass. It was the worst shot in my life. Literally felt like I got shot in the ass. Still hurts. But my sweet fiance' helped me clean the car up so it wasn't all so bad.

Anyways...

Falling in love with the 5-speed

Gave her a good wash today. Can't wait to tackle the bay. So much potential

so without further ado..

cleaned the interior up a bit.

....and this one's for you anfrey

No more blue wiper blades lol.
Likin where it's goin and she's a BLAST to drive. Top off ftw. Where's Raabe at though? Figured he would have chimed in by now

Can't wait to get some wheels. The shift knob is made for a larger shaft and it sucks. So it's gonna go. I'm not big on the shift boot either, so.. probably ordering the stock knob and boot from majestic yay for OEM parts.

All these original parts make me understand the OEM craze.

Also, the air filter's shot so ordering a short ram intake for the hell of it next week.

you got it man But it's supposed to rain all day tomorrow :/ so I don't know when I'll get a chance to. but I won't forget

 

[anfrey]

no rush i just really love these cars and haven't been in one since a decade ago. one of my closest friends had one, but it got totaled...

not sure if you knew of this cool oem accessory known as the transtop. not available in the USDM, unfortunately, and super expensive in japan. possibly one of the coolest gadgets available for your car.

[young_]

lol, it's cool but I wouldn't ever go through the work of installing one

 

[anfrey]

it cuts your trunk space down to a third of what it was lol

:O
yeah that would make this car beyond impractical lol
I need every bit of the trunk space I have lol

 

[emerican]

Why your just gonna throw a sub back there lol.

 

[young_]

Why your just gonna throw a sub back there lol.

Exactly what I need the space for
Considering a shallow mount 10.

 

[emerican]

If your just going for one of the slimmer made 10's a regualr box for one of them will fit there and id just bolt the amp to either the box or what you would call the wall or whatever the metal in between cab and trunk you know what i mean.

 

[anfrey]

i'd go for two 8s instead.

It's professionally wired for a system, and to be mounted on that back wall lol

I'm not too familiar with 8's the only ones I've heard were bazooka tubes and I wasn't too big on em.

 

[anfrey]

well, my buddy built his box inside the cabin itself, behind the seats, and molded it to fit. the speakers point forwards towards the back part of the seats. i'll try to find some photos.
