1993 Honda del Sol Si from North America - Comments

The distributer seal broke and shorted out.

The steering wheel is worn badly.

The clutch wore out at 149,000 miles.

The radiator top blew off at 105,000 miles.

I got this vehicle because I loved the Samba green color; I also thought the back window was cool. The exterior of the car is a little different from when I purchased it in 1999. I have since lowered the car 3 inches with coil overs and added a Wings West and Andy's Motorsports body kit combination. I love the look of the car; it looks much better lowered. Del Sols stock or modified definitely attract attention where ever they go.

The ride is a little bouncier since I dropped the car, but it is still very easy to handle.

The interior has also been modified to have yellow (soon to be brushed aluminum) trim. I have added a roll cage that helps keep the car stiff. I love the space; being 6ft I can easily fit into the car and drive it comfortably. I left the stock Ricaro seats because they are very attractive and comfortable.

There is tons of trunk space; even though I have slightly modified that as well. I have added two Kenwood 12 inch speakers and three amps. Two amps putting out 600 watts a piece and the third putting out 300 on its own. The targa top fits nicely in the trunk and even though I have all that equipment back there I can still go to the store and know I have plenty of room to put reasonably sized merchandise.

My engine has been upgraded with an B&M air intake, DC strut bar, Headman header, stage 2 clutch, AEM adjustable cam gear, B&M fuel pressure regulator, 2 1/2inch custom exhaust all topped off with yellow wire loom. The performance has definitley improved and for those of you who are interested this is a fun car to modify. The exhaust makes the car sound mean and I can feel the power roll back as I shift gears. If you shift the car just right the tires will skip in second gear.

Overall I am very pleased with this car. People rarely believe me when I tell them that the car is a 93. Honda did a great job designing the car so it doesn't look like it will be going out of style anytime soon.

Just curious, hello from Toronto Canada. I have found a 1993 Honda Del Sol. Current KM's 74,000 or about 45,000 miles. Mint shape. One owner, dealership maintained. Would you have any idea what I should pay for the car. You can quote in US Dollars and I will convert it to canadian.

Hey, this is for the person from Canada. Not quite sure whether or not you have already decided about the del sol yet, but I thought I would put in my two cents anyway.

I too have recently purchased a del sol (97') with something like 80,000 miles on it (american). anyway, I got it for about $4,500 dollars, mint condition (very well taken care of). Come to think of it, I don't know what model yours would be (S, Si, VTech) mine is a Si. but I would think a reasonable price for yours would be nothing more than $3,000. hope it helps some.
