TOTALED DELSOL !! Swap into a Civic DX in 5 Days

[@veraktop8522]

You guys always go above and beyond for customers treating everything like its your personal vehicle. It's the LHT moto.

[@brandongodzyk2524]

That civic has always been my favorite, the hatch, and the color. Putting that engine in it.....perfection. great job.

[@LHTPerformance]

It’s such a classic and timeless.

[@Lennyfg2]

Been doing it along time too. 22 years never knew about that seal. Makes sense I always thought it was an axle seal leaking back. Good to know. 👍

[@scruba_dub]

EGs are a great platform. Very lightweight and plenty of aftermarket. I have to be honest, Hondas are the only affordable 90s Japanese cars to tune these days. Good Stuff!

[@7eamGhast]

Very nice, don’t know how you found a clean e.g. hatch like that but what a beautiful swap

[@bikrboy128]

Love the DX hatch, had one for my first car. Unfortunately living in Illinois the salty roads got to it. I'd get another one in a heartbeat if I could find a clean one. Love the "period correct" B series swap. Keep up the fantastic work

[@RjctdEK]

Tahitian green such a beautiful a rare color to come across. That sucks for the del sol and the owner gladly he was alright things could have been worse , John I have everything to fix

[@STYLITALWAYS]

The attention to detail you guys provide is top notch 🤍

[@aw614]

Damn, I saw and talked to the owner at one of the local car meets and that Del Sol was clean.

[@LHTPerformance]

Christian is a cool guy, so sad to see this happen to him.

[@MD82321]

I had the same year/color Del Slo. Always felt like I was in a coffin. I thought you said the green one was a VX and tried to jump thru the screen to get it!!! I had CRX HF's and VX's. Loved the mileage with those cars.

[@SuperBullyone]

It is amazing you and george know how to do all these mods, and can do it so quickly.

[@LHTPerformance]

The job was completed in 5 days. Hence why I say we stayed focused and never run for the phone. The job takes a 100% attention and passion.

[@robertjordan9075]

I’m so impressed with the dedication you guys show. I would love to have a car built in your garage. Thanks for the joy I get from watching your work.👍🏽👏🏽👌🏾

[@jTamayo34]

I also used to have a Del Sol with a B16 stock from factory an unfortunately also got into a car accident. It was disappointing but I upgraded to an S2000 so it was a win at the same time.

[@djfrankie]

Don't know how George doesn't crack even the slightest smile when the DX struggles to climb ever so slowly to redline on the dyno... 😂

[@odoroussmegma2191]

Dang the del slow was pretty banged up.

[@egeg-nr4qs]

Del Sol SR2 shift lever is different than all the other Civic and Integra OEM shift levers. It's a short throw shifter with the upper half bent toward the driver. I believe the Del Sol console has the lever up higher which might explain why the linkage is different too. Also...the factory gold linkage was only on the JDM Integra Type R that came with titanium shift knobs. The reason it was different was because the heavy weighted titanium knob allowed them to remove the extra counter weight from the shifter rod to attain the desired shift feel. US ITR with the titanium knob didn't get this upgrade.

[@egeg-nr4qs]

LHT: You can keep the 97 OBD-2 engine harness. It should plug right into the EG's chassis harness on both shock-towers without issue. Honda was genius in that they simply added a 4th plug to the passengers side harness for the extra OBD-2 features. That unused plug on the engine harness simply clips onto the factory harness bracket. I have a 97 B-series in my 94 Civic with a US market 97 GSR engine harness.

[@LHTPerformance]

Oh. I guess I should have looked into that a little closer. Lol.

[@mattdeverall3138]

I hate the see another del Sol go down. I hope that someone can fix this one and put it back on the road.

[@tmango78]

Beautiful work!

[@jayAutoBeat4.0]

Amazing Work! Always Quality Work from you guys. The hatch came out great with the new Swap! Keep up the great content 💪🔥

[@hajikelist]

amazing as always - I have a DX sitting in the yard right now... waiting for a nice del sol engine 😂

[@Criam]

You guys made that look so easy!!

[@TrackSol]

Oh no. What a sad thing to happen to an original EG2.

[@DcA79]

Great job as always 👌 I need both of my cars serviced. Never got a email back from Esther 😢 The 2 month potential opening is probably 6 months now 😭

[@LHTPerformance]

I’ll dock her 3 hours for not emailing back. You could message me direct. I’ll do what I can.

[@randyej2pr]

That del sol was clean af. So sad.

[@jTamayo34]

That rear end is repairable, however it does take a lot of work so I can't see why the insurance would claim it as totaled. The rear end could be swapped out with the JDM version with the auto targa top

[@blakelip3]

Can we get another del sol video in the future

[@LHTPerformance]

You could buy the crashed one and bring to us to build 🤔

[@odoroussmegma2191]

Yeah buy the del sol bruh.

[@joshwattonS2000]

George lost a lot of weight. 👍🏼

[@natemeanor4247]

That EG is so nice. sad to see what happened to the del sol but dope to see where it went!!! Does the owner have an instagram? would love to see more of this car.

[@LHTPerformance]

I think he wants to Communicate vis Facebook and Email

[@bvward]

John, time for a 2nd motor trolley?

[@LHTPerformance]

We used to have 2 but gave it to a needy swapper. We don’t often need more than one these days so never replaced it.

[@LoyzProductions]

30 years and counting lol.. Nice Work! Btw, how many miles on the single cam you pulled out of the DX? It appeared to be healthy making 98 horses, no? I thought it was more like 70-80ish

[@LHTPerformance]

It’s extremely healthy. The owner said it felt surprisingly strong. I’m not sure of the miles.

[@RoyFigueroa-vv2wb]

That is sad you could’ve used the harness from the del sol into the hatchback 100% All you have to do is add the VTEC from the ECU of the hatchback to the del Sol harness everything plugs in

[@callum4035]

Can easily be saved

[@LHTPerformance]

I hope someone buys it and fixes it.

[@CraaaigV302]

It sucks wen u spend the money on name brand parts that are "drop in" and specific for your swap and you still have to modify it for it to to be correct

[@swankmotee]

Where's the link for contacting the owner about buying parts?

[@LHTPerformance]

It’s in the video in two places. Facebook and email

[@swankmotee]

@@LHTPerformance Where? I watched the whole thing and looked through the description and see no links.

[@swankmotee]

Christian Devito right?

[@LHTPerformance]

@@swankmotee yes. I typed it in the video as he gave me it. I didn’t remember the exact address.

[@swankmotee]

I found it thanks!

[@ronpierce9034]

Who's the new guy? Is that George? Sounds like George.

[@SuperBullyone]

Do you think the blinking 3rd light might help prevent people hitting the rear end like this del sol.

[@SuperBullyone]

When i was young i had a fiat x1/9 i was doing 93 miles and hour and an unmarked cop car started chasing me. I down shifted hit the brakes, pulled off the road and got out of my car in time to see the cop car sliding past me still doing 80 or 100 miles an hour. Little cars stop fast.

[@LHTPerformance]

@@SuperBullyone Yes. I think anything you can to grab the attention of the person behind is a plus.

[@bvward]

@@LHTPerformance Works great on my Miata, thanks to John.

[@dustinsmyers945]

It's fixable I like to have the shell when done

[@LHTPerformance]

Hit up Christian, I know he’s selling everything

[@dustinsmyers945]

@@LHTPerformance where is he from

[@LHTPerformance]

@@dustinsmyers945 He in our area, Clearwater.

[@tanphi8500]

do you sell parts?

[@tkflex2332]

🤯

[@typedrew]

That radio is an abomination holy lord

[@Assertiveman]

Id estimate that to be a 20k job in america

[@LHTPerformance]

We charged less than a 1/5 of that and completed the work in 5 days.

[@JoseCortez-bs3pn]

U didnt need to cut that harness.. the del sol harness fit the eg from want i remember

[@LHTPerformance]

It had different plugs on the passenger side. We needed Vtec wiring, injector wiring, the alternator and distributor plug.

[@juliocesarmessuti887]

so sad that such a great car was victim of a stupid driver

[@LHTPerformance]

Yes. Very frustrating. Hence why I have a tail light flasher in my cars. Anything you can do to get the attention of distracted drivers 😞

[@jahbrake9791]

Fuck yes! An LHT engine swap!! Been too long🤩💖
