Hi everybody!! I've got a 94 del Sol S with 192,400 miles on it and I
need to do some updates to it. Just had my 2nd timing belt change and
did valve adjustment at the same time. Here's what I need:

1. New suspension - mine is the stock suspension and is badly worn.
2. New brakes (front) - They're worn and need replacement.
3. New hood (preferably carbon fiber) I hit a deer and the stock unit
is badly damaged.

This is just for starters. But what would you recommend? I'm open to
any and all suggestions. Oh yeah, I'm doing an engine swap in the near
future. I'd like to use an Acura Type R engine (my mechanic says it's
the best, so I trust him)

Thanks in advance,
Bubba

You might try ebay if you want a good deal of used parts or perhaps you
may get lucky and find some new parts. In regard to the engine swap--visit
this site:
hondatuningmagazine.com
Ask them in an email if they can sell you a back issue where your car or
engine is mentioned. They have details on how to do swaps--included
pictures. A city library might have back issues--call them to make sure.
You could make photocopies of those pages where your car is mentioned.

Great!! Thanks Jason. I'm also looking for a good quality body kit.
Front bumper cover, rear bumper cover and side pieces. Any suggestions?
Oh yeah, every now and then, I see someone selling a CF hood on ebay for
around $75.00 plus shipping. I may get one the next time I run across
it.

As far as the suspension upgrades go, I don't even know where to begin.
Don't have a clue as to what to buy. I may have my mechanic make a
recommendation.
