Paying the Piper.

We all have our vices. For some its gambling or alcohol, yet for others it’s simpler, like chocolate or soap operas. Mine seems to be car parts. Yes, I buy stuff that 90% of other people have no idea what it’s for or what its worth. I’m not sure what’s so appealing by having something that no one else does in the local (or even national scale) But it’s an addiction that I doubt I will ever be able to shake.

So I have been slacking on keeping people updated with the parts I’m buying for the Sol. Just recently I have ordered the OEM (replica) Optional lip kit for the Honda del Sol that was only available in Europe. The replica is also only available in Europe and had to be shipped across the pond after I located one. To Keep the OEM euro Theme I ordered some Mugen wheels and 30mm M2 Tuning spacers to bring them flush. Ill get some pictures up when the wheels come in on Thursday. The EBay coils that I have been dumped on for the past bit had to go. The deal I had on the Function and Forms fell through, so am probably going to pick up a set of Buddy Club N+ Spec or D2 coilovers. Now I just need to get everything painted and installed and I’ll be more or less ready to hit the road. The best thing is I got a smoking deal on everything

I’m still unsure on what tires I want to run on the way to California knowing that they are going to get hit with over a 6000 mile round trip in the first two weeks they are on the car. Ill still have my old Sportmax 002 (now XXR) wheels that will be refinished and dedicated track and Canyon/Mountian duty and my DA GSR wheels that will be rocked in the offseason.
The price is somewhat expensive for the hobby but the reward and joy gained from it is worth it. At least to me it is.
