Finally building my del sol after owning it for 10 years

Del ‘Not So’ Slo!

I really love a well-kept Del Sol.

What year is it?

It’s a ‘95.

Did Mugen MF10s actually come in 15 inches?

Yes, the OG MF10Ls in 4x100 came in 15x7. These are the newer MC10Ls at 15x8.

Yeah, these are the newer MC10Ls.

Was this in storage for a while?

Yeah, kept it in my parents’ garage since I didn’t have room. My dad drove it a bit before I brought it back.

I’ve got two ‘95 Del Sols and a GTI! What year is your GTI?

@Lior
It’s a Mk7, not a performance one though.

Mine’s a Mk7 too. Just hit 100k. I love it but plan on driving my Sol more once it’s rebuilt.

Honestly, mine’s a headache. Bought it at 35k, now it’s at 90k with an oil leak and DSG issues. I’m ready to move on.

@Noor
Mk7s can be hit or miss. Mine’s had typical issues, but I guess it’s still in better shape than yours. My 90s Honda can handle my lazy maintenance way better haha!

How’s the handling on those Toyos?

They’re amazing for this car! Drives like a go-kart.

Nice! I’ll check them out once I finish my K-swap on the Integra.

Saw you mentioned a stock motor, but you’ve got a Skunk2 header? Any issues starting or running with it?

Nah, runs great and sounds awesome in VTEC. Only had to raise the car since it hangs lower than stock.

Wheels and lowering springs don’t make a build… still, nice car.
