WHO ARE WE?
We're a small Honda
del Sol enthusiast group. That simply consists of my wife
(Tiffany), my little brother (sort of) and myself, Graham
Slaughter. Between the 3 of us we own 3 Honda del Sols.
1 - '93 Si - Turbo d16Z6
2 - '93 Si - that is
basically bone stock
3 - '94 Vtec - Powered
by a '94 GSR B18C1
Where do our parts
come from?
We started this
website over a year ago as a general way to interact with the
del Sol community. We're hooked up with a large warehouse who
drop ships ALL of our orders - except the floor mats. The
warehouse is the single largest aftermarket warehouse in the
world and has 3 different shipping locations across the states.
This essentially gives us IN STOCK access to a LOT of parts -
all stocked by the warehouse so we don't actually keep them here
at the house / office. Still it enables to send these parts out
VERY quickly and most customers receive their parts within 3-4
days. The exception to this is the floor mats. The floor mats
are produced by an out of state factory that has been very
generous in their time and assistance in getting these things
done RIGHT.
Why don't we sell a larger variety of parts?
So why don't we sell
all those parts that Keystone carries? (and yes there ARE a lot
of them). The answer is simply that we don't want to sell you
something unless it meets some simple criteria.
1 - Is it a hard
to find part?
2 - Can we offer a
better price than most sellers?
3 - Is it
something that the community NEEDS?
4 - Is it the kind
of quality part that we would want on our own cars?
If we can answer yes
to these questions - then we feel comfortable offering them to
you. The last thing the del Sol community needs / wants is a
load of cheap crappy parts crammed down their throats. Just go
to Ebay and see the infinite hoard of cheap parts that SUCK that
these people shamelessly offer you. Can we sell you these? Sure.
Will we? ... um no. Even though we're a tiny little website - we
have a reputation to uphold in the small del Sol community.
We will continue to
add more parts to our catalog - but only if they meet this
criteria - please feel free to suggest something we miss!
Why dont you sell OEM Parts? People need door
handles!!!
Which brings me to
the most common question EVER - can we get OEM parts? We used to
sell these - but found later a much better resource for them ...
and you don't need a dealers license to get them!
http://www.hondaautomotiveparts.com -
can supply you any OEM Honda parts you need. Their prices are
cheaper than WE could get them directly from a dealer with a
dealer's license. So - buy them there! They've always been very
prompt in sending our orders and like I said - cant beat the
prices.
Technical Knowledge
We do ALL the work
on our own cars. We've pretty much taken them completely apart
and put them back together by ourselves. We installed the turbo
ourselves and swapped in the GSR engine ourselves. So needless
to say we have a fair bit of knowledge that we're happy to share
with you. This was of course the intention of the 'How To' pages
- but we've been so busy with customers and real life - that our
time for such things has dwindled. We still intend to continue
adding useful content and will do so likely until we blow
ourselves up doing something ourselves - but for now - customers
come first.
