Well I think the project is amazing, I cannot see why you would spend all that time and money and still end up with a slow car.
he was able to put in more time because he would rather not spend as much money. He was starting or had started his own show by his house and now because of this project he has gotten so much publicity that his shop will probably become very successful. Here's his reason from his build copy and pasted for the lazy :tongue:

Thanks for all of your responses! I'll try to answer them:
Money: I have less than $4k in it now with a budget of $10k. I plan to use the rest of the budget for suspension package and wheels and tires.
Time; Yes, it is very time consuming. I spent about 2 months researching, designing and planning and have about 2 months in the fabrication so far. The progress is much faster now, just welding all the parts together. Designing and fabricatinging all the parts by hand is slow.
Alignment: It's basically a 97 Prelude front suspension with some modifications for anti-squat, roll center and camber gain. Static alignment will start at 0 degrees caster, -1 degree camber, 1/16" total toe in.
Why do it: I had a 91 NSX for about 18 months and loved it, but alas too expensive and worried me to death driving it. A rock chip would have killed me. I drove it 1800 miles and had to let it go. I'd hoped the delSol would be mid-engine RWD, but not to be. I have many track miles in a supercharged MR2, which was the most fun car I've ever had on track, but I've always liked Hondas. My goal with this is to build a really nice driver with decent performance, and excellant ride and handling. It will definately see some track time to fully sort it out, but is not intended as a racecar.
Thanks,
Dave end}
