Pandorasbox's 91 RT4WD & Turbo Del Slut

New Wagonist
Hello everyone. Seems like a pretty awesome little community here, I recently scored 2 Wagos for very cheap, one being decent shape and worth restoration and the other a heap for parts. The person who had it prior to me just riced the poor thing out bad (mostly under the hood).
Day I bought it (sorry bought the quality, phone pic)
Because the tires were so messed up and worn out I scored a set of 17's to toss on her temporarily, havent decided if I'm gonna keep em on there or not, kinda wanted to stick with something smaller on the Wago but who knows. Please go easy on me, lol, the god awful wipers were from the prior owner.
Here is what my intentions are, slammed and satin black:
The plan is to drop it and paint it in the next couple months. I pretty much have everything lined up already with parts and paint. I do everything myself, so this will be a blast. This is my first AWD drive car. Its gonna be my DD summer/winter. It will be dropped on sleeved coils if I can help it so I can raise it back up in the winter. My buddy has some CRX SI seats ill pick up eventually as well.
The motor is tired. She puffs like crazy and leaks some oil so one of these weekends ill tear the motor out and rebuild it. But long term ideas are either low boost from a turbo or a JRSC. A 14b or Saab T3 would be a lot of fun and pretty much provide me with immediate power but I have never done a SC so that may happen as well, either way the A6 is a great platform to start from.
I want to do something unique with it because I want this to be original so I'm planning on letting my girl and her friend go to town tattooing it in approved places. Should be pretty cool. So in the coming months this thread will get updated with the progress
Its a bucket but it will be sweet soon enough.
Here is my pride and joy:
95 Honda Del Sol
I took this car from a stock Auto delly to a Turbo 5spd on E85. Its been a very fun project and has been by far the best car I've ever owned. I've had her for close to 6 years and started out with aesthetics, not really my thing anymore but oh well, turned out nice anyway. Within the last 2 years I started piecing together a turbo kit and some other sweet mods for it, came up with this.
Thanks for peeping gentlemen

i'm digging the bay of the delsol (what times have you hit?).
and if you need a JRSC, i got one for sale.
So I had my first experience with AWD and snow period and the Wago performed amazing! We got nailed with quite a bit of wet snow and even with balder low profile tires that thing went everywhere! I don't know how much power those viscous couplings transfer but that thing got sideways super easy with some throttle! This is by far the funnest stock car I've ever owned! I can't wait to build it!
we cant wait to see some pix and
updates...yeezzzz... do i have 2
beg on my knees ?
looking the other way...
LOL @ puting the del slut motor in the wago! You would not believe how many of my boys are telling me that. If I was to do anything it would be supercharge the A6 w/ a decent cam, but thats a little down the road, been too tight on money lately to afford that stuff.
Thanks for the words fellas, I'll snap some more pics soon as I start on the body work, ill be tearing my junker apart pretty quick here and will have to post pics of the carnage, haha
sexy tools in action
The Wago has a lot more work to do before it will be done but I will have to do updates along the way
Lowering it at the same time
"Hammered Paint"
Fail
2 cracked ringlands and 2 burnt and sooted shite pistons later...
So the crazy part is that this sillyass car ran mint! It smoked decent but actually ran and started amazing despite having 2 pistons with broken ringlands and 2 with gouges on the side and all 4 with epic blowby! Only a damn Honda would take all this retarded abuse and still run and get 30mpg!! Lol, I love my cars!
The Del Sol has been cleaned up and slammed now too:
+1 body kits ftl.
Clean xcars though, don't usually like del slos but that car looks great with a bay you can eat out of.
Hey thanks man! I really appreciate the compliments! The Del Sol will be recieving a lot of attention this winter and the wago will be ready for the winter within the next month. It may be recieving the turbo on the Sol. I already have most everything to boost it laying around.
