1993 Honda Del Sol: Rejuvenation

  • Hello everyone,
    In this episode we meet Joe and his awesome Honda Del Sol! He has owned the vehicle for only six months but it is not his first Honda and it shows. He has tastefully modded the vehicle with the essentials. A small drop and wheels and a few aesthetic pieces give this Del Sol the perfect look. Although the Del Sol is not a common chassis, Joe does not mind it at all. He has done his research and has blended various parts from various models. We hope that he does realize his dream of one day owning a RHD imported Del Sol. For now, thank you for your time Joe and I hope you guys all enjoy it! Thank you for the support everyone! #automotiveanatomy

      @KONRAD no can not cut down a del sol weight as much as a eg. They have factory reinforcement because they are target top

      Sadly the D Engines didn´t get enough love. Now it´s really difficult to get parts for the D Engines. Del Sols are really expensive in germany. I wish i was born 10 years earlier. 💔

    My boy joe is awesome! Thanks for the shout out joe! And I agree with the fact that the delsol gets no aftermarket support. The only reason is has some support is because it has an eg chassis. If it weren’t for that we wouldn’t even have coil overs

But I can't wait to give it a paint job. Mine is Dark Green but I will want it all black...don't know yet haha. I don't want to do too much! I like the simple and clean look.

    I just got a 94 Honda del Sol with a B16 under the hood the guy that owned it was a mechanic and the car sat in the garage for 11 years. It just started sitting in the yard for the last 2 years and it's up on blocks. I've got to find two tires for the rear throw a battery in it and it runs I've already had it started and idling on the blocks. And it has a B16 swap

    I had a 94 that got stolen--RIGHT after I did a killer paint job. Now I have a 97 (but I switched out the front bumper for the original style. It's got some other mods: It's got a 1.8 liter Type R Acura motor, stainless steel braided brake lines, ceramic headers, it's lowered, with beefed up coil-overs, and the hood, roof, headliner, roll bar cover, trunk, and rear facia are all carbon fiber. Doing the roof and headliner was a mistake, really, because the stock aluminum top weighs about the same, and the carbon fiber makes noise if the top is up (which it never is unless it's raining.) One thing I did was get billeted aluminum levers for removing the roof, to replace the plastic ones, which tend to break. I also got JDM interior door handles that have little lights built into them.
    I used to auto-cross it a lot:

  • @Savorychicken41
    @Savorychicken41 3 месяца назад +1

    My first heavily modded car I owned as a Del sol, where I engine swap, turbo you name it. But a glaring issue became clear the chassis frame is just too flexy to be a good platform for Motorsports. If you park you car at an angle on your driveway you won’t be able to take off you hardtop or put it back on. This pretty much tells how soft the frame is. This is a shame because I loved the look and size of the car. Any other civic would be a better platform for modding. Sold the car soon after and moved to other platforms. It does look clean lowered and could be a nice cruiser if performance is not the goal I guess.

    @crxdelsolsir 5 лет назад +36

    "stock as hell" "completely stock" - Proceeds to show it is dropped, non standard wheels, after market steering wheel, modded stick shift, resonator delete. Plans for stock seat removal, turbo...etc etc.
    This car WAS a survivor but is definitely well on the way to being highly modified and losing that CLEAN original fit, finish, feel and reliability.

      i think you can make it work. Plus, a bucket seat will have you seat lower. I am 5'10 and fit with no issues.

    Dudes don't know the difference between a wing and a spoiler.... That's not a wing fellas.

    Dang, I’ve been looking for that wing for a while now. Anyone know the type of wing/lip he has on the back of his Del Sol? I’d like one for mine.

    The moldings rare? i had them and took them off because after a BASIC lower kit, they scraped speed bumps. In fact EVERY SINGLE del sol in my state had them. They weren't rare at all....
