I have some pictures in my garage, take a look.

Reading some threads here, I was under the impression that a gear swap can be relatively easy on *some* transmissions. Not so with a Honda?

I believe the max pressure printed on the tire is 36psi, would that be the max sidewall pressure? I was told by a mechanic that increasing tire pressure past a certain point would cause it to wear more quickly, what's the truth behind this?

I'd love to swap a 3 stage or I-VTEC engine in, but money is really tight right now. The LS motor is fairly lean-burning anyway. I can probably make a little by trading my Y21 for an LS tranny though, since this is the shortest B series transmission available and is relatively hard to find in good condition.

I was already thinking about some under-trays, the rear bumper looks like an aerodynamic nightmare, but I haven't made any decisions yet. I think it would be really cool to make the Del Sol into a hatch by putting a contoured piece of glass over the trunk, kinda like on an Integra.

I'll post some pics once I'm up to 5 posts.
