please tell those were DR's on his front wheels... Or were those rear rims so expensive that he could only afford 2 at a time?
I have 2 pet peeves when it comes to modifying cars...
1. Driving around with an unpainted kit because you cant afford the paint job yet.
2. Buying 2 wheels for now because you cant afford all 4.
im sure theres more but thats all i can think of at the moment

I see people with just two wheels in the back because they race or something, but I hate it when people drive around with an unpainted body kit like Redline mentioned, first because it looks really stupid, and second of all, it just makes the prepping harder when they do actually paint it because of the tar, bugs, etc... And I hate Del Sol's because they are butt ugly.

There are several right twats here that have steel wheels on the front. Well... there are drag tires that won't fit on the large size wheels.
The problem: When twats think that it's a way to look like a performance vehicle. People who don't know will simply think they are retarded. People who do know will think they are dumbasses for driving around like that anyway.
To make matters worse, POS cars will take off their wheel covers on the front to look like these twats. Aren't posers great?

No.
And if it can get worse, the del Sol Si was a turd. The VTEC del Sol was the good one.
That guy shops at Pep Boys a little too much.

Okay guys, lemme try to clear the air on this one. From the looks of this car, it is a 93-95 del Sol VTEC or possibly Si. The Si sticker was not stock on any del Sol Si 93-97. HOWEVER, the car does have rear disc brakes, it appears. Correct me if I'm wrong, but the 93-95 VTEC is the only trim level that came with rear discs. The 96-97 Si and VTEC came with rear disc brakes, but the car has the factory fog lights, thus making it the older model. wanna see a pic of my riced out del Sol S, pre Grand Prix GTP, and waaaay before the GT-S? check it out:

racing an NSX in the mountains, I was squeezing a 75 shot in the rain. Head on into a Grand Marquis...lost my spleen in that one...girl i was with (our 2nd date) was in a wheelchair for 2 weeks. For those 2 weeks she came to see me in the hospital. NSX guy didn't even stop to see if we were dead. EDIT: Later that year, a guy in a white NSX (same color I was racing) died in the same area along with his wife and kid while racing street bikes. The child was in the passenger seat, in the wife's lap.
Stupid phuckin' kids

those rims are not still in the junkyard, in fact they're on a civic dx who quotes on his website as having a "full type-r conversion". type rice? btw, when new they set me back a load...17" Niche Twisters w/ 205/40-17 Nitto 450(goin way back) rubber. You're lookin at 2 grand plus! Not to mention all the tires I had to keep replacin cuz of negative camber! Finally wised up and got the Ingall's kit...got my asshole ripped by the install shop too...haha...

I like the Civic Type R non hatchbacks. ummm something special. I also like the Integra Type R fakers with the 4 bolt configuration instead of 5. Must have been a limited edition.

Couple weeks ago my sis and I were cruising when she pointed out this old-body Integra. She was saying its so ugly....etc. etc....and that on the back that girl had spray paint Integra on the back...I looked over and I mean she used krylon like she was a five-year old high on glue...it was sad...very sad
