[bambam89lx]

Well here it is guys...nothing special, just my daily driver. I got her last July so I could concentrate on building the CRX for drag/weekend warrior duty. 93 honda del sol Si. In case you're wondering what color it is, it's called Samba Green.
I blew the motor up a week after buying it...redlining 4th gear on the highway for a few minutes was NOT a bright idea...lol...spun bearing and a broken rod was the result of that one. But, thanks to my infinite supply of backup dseries laying in the garage, I had her back up the next day with a fresh block. I threw the z6 sohc vtec head on a D15b7 block w/ 80k on it. She still get's over 30 mpg and she rarely see's over 5k now... She doesn't smoke, and she rides beautiful. It's actually time to do an oil change...im nearing 8k on it (i use that 7500 mile oil from Mobil 1 in it).

Mods:
ACT lightweight 8lb flywheel
ACT stage 2 clutch
KYB AGX 5 way adjustables
Neuspeed race springs
Brembo brakes/axxis pads/goodridge stainless brake lines @ all four corners
Brand new falken ziex tires
Integra muffler
ebay short ram
mugen polyurethane lip
Stock Si wheels (wheels in pics were given back to original owner)

I DONT have any plans on spending any money on her but gas and oil changes...sorry.

It's not bad...but I really do baby it after I blew it the first time....Dseries just can't take the abuse like I'm used to with the Bseries motors.
I love riding with the targa top off whenever I can...that's the best part about this car!
Thx for the comments

Yah, that's what came on it when i bought it. I didn't believe it, but I verified it when i blew it up the first time. It isn't annoying at all, it idles perfect.

They are Rota GT3's. They come in many colors. Go to machiii.net for the best prices on rotas.
What did you mean about the knocking? The motor doesn't knock at all.
