About Me
not puttin much here.
im an auto mechanic in the making.
i love cars.

but personally i just chill school and work.
pretty easy going.
go with the flow.


i believe show cars are cool but not my thing. because personally allll that extra weight makes all that money you put in the engine useless. trust me a 1200 lbs 200 hp car will waste a 500 hp 10 ton car..to an extent but more power to ya if you like show over performance.

I don't mind what you drive really as long as you know what your talking about even if its a stock geo metro if you can take it all apart and put it back together and tell me about it were all good.

end.
General Vehicle Comments
bought this car about 6 months ago.
garaged in the winter.
this is my first REAL car that i can work on.
ive had two VW jettas loved em both but way too expensive to me to keep up the payments on. didn't do much to them.

it'll be like a 300 hp quick little car. nothing too rediculous but a nice Daily Driver.

The bearings in mine I replaced with the axel were all broken apart and wore down to nothing, I have no clue how they still functioned at all. I'll post pics of that tomorrow. I just posted new pics with the new rims.

I think the GR-2's are suppose to ride similar to stock but with less body roll and better handling. I'll see once I get and install them. I could just swap the AGX's out of my Sol, lol, just for the winter.

I went with the GR-2 shocks, the AGX are adjustable and better if you are lowering. I debated between them for awhile, but there wasn't enough advantages to getting AGX to make up the price difference. If I decide to keep it for awhile, I might lower it some and put in nice coilovers all around. I want to drive it so bad, but waiting on parts to get here and I really shouldn't drive it with a broken shock.

I'm not ready for POTD yet, I need more photos, lol.
It runs really good, just drives bad, but should be all fixed by the end of the week, just waiting on my shocks right now. I'm glad it hasn't been snowing lately, so I've been able to drive my Sol until the GSR is drivable. I guess I did drive it over 40 miles to get it home, don't know how lol.

How's your Sol running?

I got the headers on today and will do the rest of the exhaust tomorrow. I am eager to start painting too. Depending on the weather might start that Friday. The tires are really cracked and dry rotten so would be nice to get rims and tires ordered so I can do more than drive it around the block.

My 16's don't rub at all, not even when the suspension bottoms out, which is surprising. 15's would be good, 16's are getting a little big for a del Sol, and 17's are way overkill.

I got bored and just figured out that every autologger from MN and Iowa could meet up on a giant bridge in La Crosse, WI. Problem is, the closest person is 3 hours away and the farthest person is 5 hours away. So it wouldn't be a short trip for anyone but it's a town right on the Mississippi so there would be some kick-ass photo opportunities. I'm gonna keep an eye out for shows there and maybe we can all meet up sometime this summer.

I'm using duplicolor vinyl and fabric paint for the vinyl and carpet, and a duplicolor plastic adhesion on the plastic pieces so the paint sticks.
You have to clean the pieces very thoroughly and scrub them with a rubbing alcohol. I hit the plastic with a high grit sandpaper too.

I stripped out everything but the dash, and it was very dusty.
I'm going to dye the carpet black, after I get it washed and cleaned. Then I'll paint the interior pieces and put everything back together.

If I make a custom one it won't have the storage compartment and the cup holders. I'm still unsure of what I want to do with my center console.

I have my shocks set on 4 right now, it's a little rough though, I might have to turn them back down.

Are you going to the elk river car show on memorial day?

I think I'm going to try and make a center console out of foam and fiberglass that and then I can switch between that one and the stock one.

What type of KYB shocks do you have?
I did some research on mine and found out that mine are KYB AGX adjustable shocks.

The button thing in front of the door handle is the switch to lock and unlock the doors, everything in mine is power, which is really nice as long as it works.

I thought about painting the door handles orange and try to get something to die the gray vinyl pieces black.

I'm not sure if I want to paint bigger pieces orange and leave the little pieces stock, or paint the little pieces orange and leave the rest stock or black.

I also thought about fiberglassing some of the pieces too, but not sure how that would look.

The lip thing above the gauges has two screws on the bottom and then a couple clips that hold it in. I don't really care for going JDM either.
