RE: LOL honduh
2200lbs is alot in the Honda world, you have gutted hatches weighing in at 1700 pounds, with driver.
Plus a b-series engine will add more to that then the stock single cam. Have you tried purchasing a EF hatch. Their the lighest hatches. The obd-0 to obd-1 conversion is quite the hassle but is worth it in the end.
Just a suggestion

RE: LOL honduh
thank you emonz.
i completely agree, i have never really cared for the looks/styling of the del sols either. Thats why i'm doing a front end conversion to an 99-00 EK hatch. here's a vid - http://videos.streetfire.net/video/4...c5c7a88ac3.htm
no offense dude and i think you should pursue this cause your into it.and i know im a newbie but those del sol's are just ugly as all hell.

yeah. im going by what i see in my neighborhood anyway. theres three guys that have them, ones neon orange, one is puke green, and one is 5 different colors (rust is thah superior one). and they all have unpainted body kits, that stupid thing that makes thah blow off noise (but no turbo) and a three foot tall wing on each. (can we say ricers?) lol. im shure it will be sik-nasty what ever you do either way.

RE: LOL honduh
oh, it will be 
lol talked to a couple of my honda guys this morning and it looks like i'll be taking the road heading towards the turbo. was debating wether to go stroked, fully built ITB 10k reving all motor monster at about 290-300whp or turbo it. apartnely stroking these cars is not good for it but i could still slap 12.5:1 compression in there and be about 250whp but i really wanna hit that 300whp mark and have a turbo sized enough to push 400+ when i want it. i think a gt30r should do the trick :-D

RE: LOL honduh
I'm not saying it's super heavy, because i god know i would kill for my comaro to be 2200lbs. But it's all relative. Your not going to compare the power of a ls1 to that of a GSR. Not to say it's greater in anyway, but you have more power pushing more weight. RCJ, i'm not trying to tell you it's a bad idea of modding the delsol, but understand when your stepping into the honda world, weight is the name of the game, and when your competing with hatches that weight 500 pounds lighter, theirs going to be a big diffrence.
But as i see your going for high power, and when your hp range breaches 300hp, in a honda, that's real fast and the concentration focuses more on traction, and how much suspension work your going to need.
