Theme Tuesdays: Down Del Sols

Jan 19, 2010

The concept of theme Tuesdays here on Stance Is Everything is simple, every Tuesday I pick a theme and post a collection of vehicles with that theme that meet the stance criteria (modified suspension that suit the vehicles intent). This weeks theme Tuesday topic is: Down Del Sols

This summer I saw a few nice local Del Sols and after writing the mini feature on Eric’s Del Sol I figured I would try and throw together an all Del Sol Theme Tuesday. Not too many people stick with this platform it seems but they are actually fairly receptive to different tuning styles.

delsol4 — Start things of with a local grown Del Sol, this was his first set of wheels

delsol5 — The car really came together when he got these RM's and swapped wings

delsol6 — Car looks money on these custom painted and lipped RMs

delsol7 — Not a big fan of the bumper guards but everything else comes together nice

delsol9 — Looks like the same car as above just at a different point in time

delsol15 — Don't think I have ever posted 3 versions of the same car in one Theme Tuesday Before

delsol8 — Keepin things simple and clean

delsol10 — Not often you see white and red wheels but they work on this Del Sol

delsol11 — Sportmaxx wheels are so hard to hate

delsol16 — BBS wheels look good on almost anything

delsol1 — This Del Sol is looking sick on Schmidt th-line rims

delsol2 — Another shot, love the smoothed body on this one

delsol3 — I think these might be ccws but either way they look proper!

I will *always* have a soft spot for these, I had a red Del Sol for my first car. 🙂 Her “twin” was my husband’s blue Civic hatch — same year, same engine, same unfortunate automatic tranny. It was a bonding point, and the hubs helped take my car from rice (bought with the intention of rehabbing her, I SWEAR.) to nice.

Totally making my brother look at this page. He bought the Del Sol off of me when I got the Miata. Sometimes I miss her, but she was too much project at the time. (How funny, since the next car was this insane 240SX project…. Ha.)

Aha! Low offset wheels do look great on these, I knew it. Big fan of rms.

A friend just brought this to my attention… the local del sol was mine 🙁 (white one in the first couple pics).. thanks for the recognition.. I miss that thing like crazy! Such a fun build / car to drive.

and to the guy who asked about the lips ^ .. if you’re asking what lip I was running it’s an EK SiR lip.
