try adding Header, maybe a carbon fiber hood.... better yet, buy a new RSX type-S and sup that puppy up... ;-)Discombobbled said:I drive a Honda Del Sol that I'm consistently trying to make go faster.

Well you know the first thing I would recommend is trying a MoparDiscombobbled said:I drive a Honda Del Sol that I'm consistently trying to make go faster.

Thanks for the info, I'll try the headers but I'm not sure I want to enter into the expense of lightening the car. I'll consider the RSX suggestion. As for all you naysayers, I like my Del Sol, it always starts and gets me where I want to go, unlike some other makes.Kurrupt said:

Big Block, 383-440 cubic inches should to the trick, if that don't
help then would recommend a crate Hemi and top if off with an
injected and blown intake !!
Seriously though, you've done all the standards and there isn't really
much help in that department without doing some real engine work,
porting heads, larger valves and such and higher comp pistons.
Other than that turbo charging it or adding nitrous is about the only
other thing you can do to make a significant difference.
There is also performance software you can get for a laptop that
you plug into your onboard computer for changing different
peramitters.
Have fun man.........Light 'em up !!

I think I'll try the computer thing, seems there are several mods of this out there, but I was always skeptical about their effects. Again thanks. Much appreciated If you've got the B16A motor, it's not really a good street motor... if you have one of the SOHC motors in there, junk it for the DOHC B18B or B18C... a stock B18B in that Del Sol would work wonders... even with just bolt on mods. In other words, drop another engine in it... if u want stock reliabilty.Discombobbled said:I drive a Honda Del Sol that I'm consistently trying to make go faster.

I've got a DOHC motor but I don't want to drop another engine in at this point. The expense (to me) suggests another vehicle. Infinite G35 or such, but I'm not ready to expend the finances. I prefer to put it into this house so I can get a reasonable return.maverick73 said:

lower the gearing ... nothing gets you moving faster!Discombobbled said:I drive a Honda Del Sol that I'm consistently trying to make go faster.

Thanks Ghost, I'll take your advice. I wasn't aware of the info regarding gears. Frankly, it's the first I've heard of it. Again, thank youLonelyGhost said:
With the B16A motor and trans, you've already got SUPER short gears... it doesn't get much better than the gears u got... in fact, Honda had to purposely gear it like that because the motor is so weak... without the gearing, that thing would feel even more like a slug.Discombobbled said:Thanks Ghost, I'll take your advice.

It goes pretty fast, and the women seem to be drawn to it for some reason! What the fuck is that about anyway??maverick73 said:
