Crazy!
The rear fenders remind me of a sixth gen now that they're widened.

Waste of time and money? That project seems like it's not that expensive, since he's doing it all himself, and it'll be a one-of-a-kind car once it's done.
And I doubt he considers it a waste of time, since it's something he loves to do. I certainly wouldn't consider it a waste of time. I'd consider just sitting here reading through that thread more of a waste of time than actually building something amazing. -------------------- New Toyota project coming soon...

yea, I have seen a northstar V8 in a 1st gen MR2. That could also be considered a waist.,.. but not by me. That car the guy is building here (while not balanced by any means) is gonna be a trip to drive.

[right][snapback]265989[/snapback][/right] Del Sol's are front engine front drive, aren't they? The only RWD cars honda makes are the NSX and S-2000. Man you've got to love them Honda guys. I'd trade my celica for a Prelude, Hach Si, or Integra of equal value in a second. This post has been edited by Bigmeanbulldog55: Apr 4, 2005 - 2:09 AM -------------------- Live Free, Be Happy

Del Sols are FF. The only exception I know of is the Top Fuel Del Sol, which was MR with a turbo B18, IIRC. Very, very nice install, no idea about the handling though.
