OK well way back when I said I wanted to make a del Sol just like my old ride. Well I'm a guy that follows up what he posts so here she is in all her hottness.

Not only does she look good parked at the local Denny's at 3am but she is fast as hell. This car goes out to all those that are Flip Mode Squad. :cool:

Nice work man, she looks good. Them rims set it off just right.

Got a pic of your 1:1 Del Sol to compare?

Finks, man, you pulled that off beautifully. Way nicer than the del Sols we've all seen on the japanese sites, for sure. Leave it to a pimp to get it right.

I'm also really glad you decided against the "del Sol green".

Super nice job. It's so.... subtle. I mean that in the best way. As in you don't notice how much you changed the S2000 you started with until you start looking at every detail, and then you realize there's not much of the S2000 left.

I read an interesting tidbit about the real Del Sol once... something to the effect of it being able to pull the most lateral G force of ANY production car ever made. So apparently that little Honda can hold its line in a hard turn without sliding better than Corvettes and Ferraris.

Thanks Pimps, I am flattered. WhiteSupra to answer your question http://bitpimps.lixlink.com/pages/phpFo ... php?t=3061 there it is. Oh and Superfly, man I knew someone would see all that tooling I did. Thanks for noticing, hell I knew if little crap like the position of the gastank or the angle of the tail lights wasn't right, I wouldn't be totally happy, so ya gotta change that $hit :shock: Yeah I am into this hobby way to much and I 100% blame this site, and couldn't be happier. Thanks Pimps :cool:
