Always liked Del Sol's. Nice pick up.

Clean Del sol. Those are the '05 EX 4 door wheels right?

ivtec03 · 01-27-2008, 12:19 AM

Is your CSX Scratched or is it salt? Better view of the car ftw.

How much did you pick it up for? It looks like it's in pretty good condition.

They were optional on all 7th gens and came stock various models, depending on the dealership really. I love the 7th gen fat 5's.

First thing I had to do is exhaust since there was a hole in the original mid pipe.

Shortly after that I had to get an intake!

Great little car man. Bet she gets great gas mileage and isn't really all THAT slow. Lol. I had a 94 Civic coupe with the same engine and it wasn't horribly slow when I got done with it, so I don't think these lil buggers would be too bad.
