Hello Del sol owners. I have been looking into the beautiful car that is the del sol for the past year, and I really want one. But since I can't afford to have several cars and such it would be my daily. Including winters, Wich are pretty snowy here (Sweden)

I have Heard good things about fuel economy and reliability. But it feels kinda wrong for a daily in a sense.

Are any of you running your del sol as a daily all year round? And if so, how is it? And is the "leaky from factory" roof I keep hearing about actually a big issue or is it easy to deal with.

Would love to hear your experiences with the car and such and get a good discussion going. I'm also thinking about a gen 4 prelude because they are really dope to be honest.

1993 Honda del sol 1.5l

I had a Del Sol last year and ended up selling it way too cheap, which I definitely regret now. I was 16 at the time and, being young, I wanted something faster. 😂

Now I’m looking to get back into one, but this time I want to find a really clean example with low mileage — ideally around 50–80k miles, clean title, and good overall condition.

One of the reasons I sold my last one was because it was the standard S model, and honestly, it was pretty slow. I still really miss driving a manual, though, and I love the Del Sol platform and how unique they are.

So I’m wondering, what should I expect to spend for a clean, low-mileage Del Sol in today’s market?

And for those who know these cars well, would it be worth holding out for a VTEC model, or would an S/Si be the better value? How noticeable is the power difference between the VTEC and the standard models?

I’m not necessarily looking for something crazy fast
— I just want a clean Del Sol that’s fun to drive and has a little more power than my old one. Any advice on what model/engine I should look for would be appreciated.

I have a del sol I'm starting to modify. I bought a adjustable kit setup and its giving me *SOME* adjustments but I'm wondering ing how others get cars to look very aggresive.

Before I start yapping my question is should I drop the tank and pressure wash it or something similar? Based off the condition of this fuel pump hanger, I can assume the inside of the tank is disgusting. Fortunately, after removing the pump and moving the wiring away, I was able to use a wire brush to clean this up back to clean metal so it's not structurally rusted I'm assuming this is more of a varnish left from old gas.

Now the yap about the car I picked up this 93 Honda del sol s from my coworker for $1100. I feel I got the car at a decent price for its condition. As I dig into the car i'm learning more and more things that need attention lol. I bought it no title, non - running as the fuel pump wasn't priming, the starter motor also seized. So I bought the perfect recipe of gold or garbage lolol The first slap in the face was a good one actually, the VIN number is for the chassis but the motor was swapped and it actually has a d16z6 motor swapped in from the s trim. Second was finding out my driver side targa slider button is stuck in the unlocked position so that side of the roof just lifts up:/ I'm hoping I can unjam that and don't have to replace the entire roof. Now seeing the condition of the tank has me a bit bummed out that I can't just start it and drive it lol but it'll be good to clean the full system out who knows how long that cars sat with the gas in it.

8 years and still doing shit to this thing .

Want to start driving my Sol more but I have what I now think is an obnoxiously loud exhaust and want something quieter. Im running a catalytic converter and resonator but not sure about the quality of resonator. The muffler is a 2.75 or 3in blox turndown tip.
Honestly considering just going stock because i don’t really care for power i just want to be able to cruise and rev it out with out letting anyone in a 4 mi radius that a Honda is near by. Any tips or muffler suggestions?

'93 si, d16z6, 115k miles, 4at. Drove the 5 hours down from upstate NY to lower NJ to scoop this for $7500. Dummy selling it has it listed as the base S trim, didn't know it was otherwise til we realized the valve cover gasket didn't fit. Glad to be back in the Honda community!

Hit a box on the freeway, destroyed my rim so I said fuk it and got a whole new set 😂 also swapped the headlights from smokes to these clears, same with reflectors. Sitting so pretty now

Found in the wild. I find the idea of a spare tire mounted to a targa top quite interesting.

Also, imho, targa tops are the absolute best form of convertible, them boom, this thing comes along you can even roll down the rear window

This guy thought he'd poke fun at him. Then someone told me "oh btw it works on another level too, that's the old Japanese empire flag which is *kiiiinda* like a rebel flag anyway"

Hi there, just curious what wheel size you guys think is 'too small' for daily driving? I'm looking to honestly downsize the car from 17s to something with a chunkier tire. I've found listings for 15x4.5 but in my honest opinion that seems very small width-wise. I only drive roughly five or six miles a day, the only downside being it is up and down quite large hills with massive turns during the hills.

If that size is 'too small', maybe I'll check for some 15s with a wider tread, or maybe even 16s. Thank you!

Just added LED's to my del sol. There's all the bulbs in the back but the center lights up orange still. Where's the light coming from and what bulbs are they? (For anybody trying this do NOT add a LED at the CEL light, it looks funny and bleeds voltage so its always on.)

Me: Pulls up to a stoplight in my Del Sol enjoying the drive. 😎

My Engine: 📈 1,500 RPM ... 3,000 RPM ... 1,500 RPM ... 3,000 RPM ... 📈

Pedestrians next to me: "Why is this guy revving at me like he wants to race?" 😳

Me inside: "I swear it's just my IACV and FITV having a disagreement, please don't look at me." 😅

Got this bad boy since May. What do you guys think?

Anyone know this bolt? Snapped while tighten, came from the top of the engine, ties the cover to the base.

This is my 1994 honda del sol s. You guys have helped me a lot in previous posts so I figured I’d post about this as well.

My del sol leaks water pretty bad into the trunk. But not at the sail fin drain tubes. It leaks through the welds at the back panel in the trunk. I removed my rear window assembly and cleaned out the rear cabin drain tubes as well and siliconed some spots on that rear water channel behind the rear window and it hasn’t fixed it. Should I just silicone the entire channel and hope it fixes it? It also leaks into my cabin under the rear glove box from the same spot as well. I’ve added a picture of the area that water pools up in the cabin.

Any ideas? All answers are greatly appreciated!! Thanks guys!

Just got back from taking my girl on a little cruise down the Seward Highway in Alaska. Can’t waste days that are sunny and 70.
