Holy ---- I've been avoiding this thread ...

That's a nice project you got going there. Can't wait to see how it runs. I've never cared for DSMs but I've heard crazy numbers from their engines.

I'm actually REALLY worried about twisting this chassis up. This is staying a 100% street car, so because of the way it would need to be made with this chassis there will not be a cage. I'm going to be welding bars up EVERYWHERE though, which actually sucks because I'm trying to keep the car under 2600 LBS by the time I'm done with it. Odds are, I won't be able to punch it with the top off on race gas, cause I'm not gonna make some fugly *** brace for the top. The nice thing about the del sol chassis as compared to doing this to a civic of the same year, is that the del sol has a HUGE tunnel, so there's plenty of room for a t-case, driveshaft, and exhaust

Kinda make you wonder what they made that tunnel for? I remember in my buddy's delsol that in center counsel appeared that it had a rwd setup as it's extends almost all the way to the trunk firewall. MR2's are like that too.. I've been thinking of something similiar as using a AWD civic wagon and tossing all the DSM stuff on it cause I don't think the stock civic drivetrain stuff would handle the 4G's power. This is a really sweet project you got going though. Keep us updated.

del sols looks like rwd cars. i wanna see a s2k drivetrain swap into a del slow..

I actually considered that too. But with me working at a DSM shop, this ends up being cheaper. Plus AWD lauches give me wood
