True but the del sol is absolutely amazing so clean so smooth and a blast to drive, sure it spins like crazy but once it gets up and goes it's a tough car to run down with the top end power it has and the power to weight ratio, I love the evos especially after driving garretts I just don't know wheter to fix the del sol and enjoy it probably make more power and make it a pretty badass street car or to switch mid summer and try and do a new build , I just hate going from a 5-600hp car down to a 400 hp dog that has raped my back account since the day I bought it

 

Sounds like you want to sell the Evo. Evos are an expensive car to own. Esspecially modified. It's best to have one properly running car then two or three non running ones.

 

Anyone going up to BeaveRun today??? flat out day and test n tune tonight!

 

I know there expensive as I've discovered, at one point all of my cars were running amazing , m3 on nitrous, del sol made 500, Evo was running consistent so, then racing gates the del sol went lean, popped the motor, tranny and stuff went on the Evo, but my passion has alway been with honda , I'm just a whiny ***** right now hoping someone can sway my thoughts

 

Get rid of the evo. And as for going from a 5-600 hp car down to "400hp dog" - well, many people in this thread, let alone on the board would love to be in your shoes. If you want numbers - look into a supra. If you want an all around driving experience that will make you grin when you're not on the dyno then an evo would be the better choice. I'd keep the del sol no matter what. Good Luck on your decision.

 

Build the Del-Sol back up slowly.....If the Evo is closer to running, get a good tech on it and get it sorted.

Even if you sell the Evo to fund the Del-Sol...it will be alot easier to sell when it runs properly.

 

jason, i know you better than anyone on this forum. both of your cars have potential; evo is a sick platform to work with and i've seen what your del sol can do and its just a monster. bottom line is: whatever car you end up with you're going to RACE it (hard). Nothing on the evo is cheap, you learned that the tough way.

while there are innumerable fast evos out there, for you to get yours running fast and reliable is going to require some serious money and wrench work. granted, your evo is mean, and as MR. Tim stated you are a lucky **** to be complaining about a 400hp evolution, but for your standards its never going to be what you want it to be.

the del is a beast, its cheaper to fix, its unique, and i know your passion is for honda. nobody can make decisions for you, but i think you've had your mind made up for a while, you're just looking for justification. whatever car you end up with you know ill be under the hood with you (no homo).

that is all

 

Dave, the "too poor to live in wexford" as your location had me chuckling for like 5 minutes

 

haha thanks garrett, I wouldn't sell the Evo to fund the del sol , I just and down right now so I think I'm going to fix the del sol up next week continue to drive the m3 till , you know what opens up, then spend a good week straight and rip that Evo down to nothing start from scratch, basically my main goal this summer is to beast on some cars and from seeing that e85 monster the other night idk if the del would hang

 

Thanks.

I know many of us are not worthy of such fine suburban surroundings but is anyone going to the Starlight cruise in Wexford this evening?

 

You have an M3? What kind?

 

For the tritech.

Sothis morning I was at the giant eagle and they have this new fruit

THE GRAPPLE. Looks like an apple, tastes like a grape. This has got to be the most disturbing thing I have ever eaten.


I can't recommend trying such a freakish fruit but it is tastier then I thought.

 

95 e36 m3 uuc light weight flywheel and clutch, uuc short shifter,k&n intake system, zex dry shot nitrous 65 shot, went best of 12.83 @ 111 , 1.82 60ft bald 17s, love the car it's hands down the best purchase of my life

 

See you there

 

Just wanted to say that after stretching it out for 3 lazy days, I finally changed the fluids in my tranny/diffs. Instead of going with the redline MT-90 I used to use, I tried the recommended blend of BG II and Redline heavy shock proof. I took it for a jaunt down the road last night and it shifted spectactularly!!

Just curious if anyone has had any trouble using this mix?
