Nope. He's doing it himself and their Honda parts, so it's cheap. He injoyes it, so the advil won't be needed. And if he injoys it, the time will fly. So even though it may take awile to do, it's a hobby, and it's suposed to take up time.

Del Sols are FF. The only exception I know of is the Top Fuel Del Sol, which was MR with a turbo B18, IIRC.  Very, very nice install, no idea about the handling though.

Someone on Honda-Tech recently converted one to a MR setup...tube frame front end and a cage and such. It was pretty crazy.

I doubt that...he's probably under $10,000 right now...probably a lot less than that at this point actually. He's fabricating everything himself, and the two cars used are a wrecked Prelude and a theft recovery Integra GS-R, which were probably both fairly cheap.

Which drivetrain as in which tranny? I'm pretty sure he's using the tranny that came with the H22.

Where do you get the 8-10 grand for the engine? It's a stock H22 from the wrecked Prelude, which will probably be upgraded in time, sure, but a H22 still is a pretty quick motor.

The car doesn't have a kit and most of the nice cars on Honda-Tech don't...I have a feeling that this one won't, and I doubt he'll run nitrous on the motor.

He's probably got people around to help, but they're probably friends and such, not hired help. He seems to have all the knowledge required to do this project.

So were can we see the finished product? I'd love to see this car in action. The thought of it gives me goose bumbs, especailly when I think of the possability of running a turbo on this thing.
