Hey Scotty, my 5 month old son really loves your videos. He'll cry until I put one of your videos on and he'll stop and start smiling.. I would really love it if you can give him a shout out in one of your videos and I'll save it for him until ge gets older. His name is Jahan Warner in Virginia Beach, Virginia. I would greatly appreciate it.. 🙏🏾

[@raisethecolours]

They stopped putting zinc in motor oil .... and no more conventional oil is being made . We need to get the info out there

[@masterxiong7368]

My 93 Civic ex has that same motor. Nice

[@Daddyme92]

0:57 lol the cat . Love it

[@paulsmith8510]

Awe my coworker had one when i was 17. It was so tiny but so fun.

[@jimmyjimmy1465]

This is one of my favorite cars

[@delsol7878]

Scott. That's orignial seat. =]

[@kftyler7346]

Love that green 😁

[@KingCheatsYT]

I seen the exact same one even the color just walking home the other day it was just sitting there 😂

[@adrianamarilloblack]

THE SEATS ARE STOCK

[@TheNocturnalShadows]

Currently I have a 97 Honda civic Dx.. 261,000 Miles... Original engine... and maybe 2nd or 3rd clutch.. im the third owner. Owned it since 225,000 Miles. best purchase I've made

[@R2RO20]

Basically an overglorified civic... but its still a honda. Even though some of the cosmetic parts are getting hard to find, most of the mechanical parts are still abundant, even on the aftermarket side. If they're maintained properly, they'll probably outlast the owners.

[@rquinn0111]

Yes, the cop pulled me over for going 110 mi/hr on the freeway in my 1996 del sol. Those were the days...

[@MikeKollin]

Del Sol Rules!!!

[@JC-cm9bn]

I prefer the Del Sol over a Miata who's with me?

[@travislee9396]

I’m with you

[@TheGamingSenpaiYT]

Me

[@ProGamerKF]

For the money and power sure, but the rear wheel drive of miata is something too. If del sol was rwd would cost the double of what it cost now

[@mannybananas1322]

Yes & no 😂.

[@Truen091]

I’ve owned both. I like the Miata for the rwd and the del sol for the better performance. I have a 96 vtec dohc 1.6 currently

[@mustafaalkayyat4766]

Seriously Honda cannot kill it . Have 03 accord with 292000+ miles original engine Transmission just now changed the starter and ac compressor failed almost few months apart Other than that Nothing but Normal service oil filter and break jobs. Suspension just only replaced at 270000 miles . Worth every penny on this car. 😀😀😀😀

[@rubyred8845]

Good value for his money and you wont loose it in the car park with that color

[@iamteamBB]

ive seen 3 of these caRS in person. thats the 1st non-manual lol.

[@peterlampropoulos3505]

Legendary. Best suspension

[@derrickhillier1173]

Built to last.

[@roberthouston3809]

These things jumped value OVER NIGHT! If your lucky enough to even find one...your gonna have to cough up 7-10 k

[@dylanpresley3079]

I can’t speak for anybody else but I personally love 2 seater cars and trucks. I’m a truck guy and my favorite body style in single cab short bed. Love ‘em

[@wretchedrider]

An elusive del Sol is the RARE bird with the b16a DOHC VTEC motor. 🤤🤤

[@delsoldrizzy7492]

I have a yellow one

[@julioiglesias7753]

Thas was my first car back in 2004

[@creativeworkshopideas1061]

Bulletproof Honda 👍👍

[@fyahwerks]

It's a replacement for the crx

[@brianklamer3328]

That tow hitch on the Del Sol would be good for pulling peels off bananas!

[@SamiUddin13]

I like those, but finding OEM parts is like finding a needle in a haystack because they don't make them anymore and they're not seen quite as often anymore.

[@JosueLopez-te1ek]

I used to have a Honda accord 2002 with 280k good cars

[@radioguy1620]

Scotty my 98 FORD Escort just turned 359 ,000 miles last week , runs great 5 speed manual with 41 MPG avg. body at least made in USA

[@mr.j-1592]

Thanks for sharing. Awesome video.

[@jona5517]

Lol my highschool girlfriend had a new one back in the early 90s. She would never let me drive it either!

[@corbindeleon3228]

Thank s god for guy s like you 👍

[@corbindeleon3228]

SCOTTY

[@crxdelsolsir]

80's and 90's Honda had bullet proof engines and transmissions. The 90's Honda chassis had better rust resistance but you cannot go wrong with all their models. As an owner of 88-91 Prelude's, 88 Concerto, 89-92 Accord, 93-96 Accord, 92-98 Honda, CR-X Del Sol and even the 88-91 CR-X and still own them all, I can say they all have their original engines and transmissions and many still on the original ECU, starter, alternator, distributor, power steering pump etc. They are a pleasure to drive, pleasure to do routine maintenance, saved me lots of break downs and angst compared to buying others. PS: They not only saved me lots of money from depreciation, they are actually making me money now that they are appreciating.

[@huckleberrymulberry4764]

This samba green sol here is mine. Where are you located? You have quite the collection!

[@vasosandrea3532]

Nice car Honda are great

[@andrewchristiansen8311]

There is a guy in our county car club in Northern NJ who swapped the 3.0 liter V6 from the 02 Acccord into the Del Sol & made it a center drive single seater. We all still called it a Del Slo. I preferred my 00 Prelude.

[@solomonlamontagne8256]

I have a 93 auto And a 94 si 5 speed Best cars I’ve ever had Cheap on gas Take the top off and roll down the back window

[@waterboy12342232]

Love my 96 del Sol. Still in storage for future rebuild.

[@asmallwhitedog0479]

I have one. Love it eight years on. 168k. Amazing on snowy roads in NE Vermont. Paid 3k. In eight years Ive put about 3k into it.

[@huckleberrymulberry4764]

You’re right it’s great in the snow! It pulls great through snow and if you do get stuck it’s so lightweight it’s not hard to free up.

[@Al-Tucsoni]

The manual VTEC del sol- my dream first car

[@timduncan2531]

Ive had my1994 honda del sol si for 8 years now. Ive never had any problems with it ever. I bought it for 500. Bucks. It looks great. Its not stock though. But its beautiful. Its perfectly designed. Luv it and its still my daily driver. I mean i get more looks from people then my blown 70 camaro. I have no emblems on it. So a lot of kids will ask me what kind of car is that its cool. And you know scotty its enjoyable to work on. For reals! Im still as excited about it as i was when i bought it. My insurence is on 49 a month because it a coupe. I only have liabilty because any thing else is a waste of money when you look at the blue book. But everything works great.

[@alexvakili1511]

Good looks Scotty! I got a '93 Honda Del Sol S as my project!

[@cinthe3]

Probably sell that for 15k in today's stupid market

[@marcuspeters3894]

Respect and manners to Mr Scotty

[@chinobravo6535]

I own a 95 Honda del sol auto real nice car

[@douglasjackson9058]

Had a little red one...absolutely loved it.

[@TheMightyKinkle]

7:50 Looks like the Empire is currently residing in Montana. Ahahaha

[@alexraszeja9266]

Another spot on review, I love my del sol!!

[@michaelnippert945]

When I get coffee in the morning I see a woman drive up with one of those little Hondas doesn't the back window go up and down

[@brenthutchens410]

I had a 1994 del Sol VTEC. 160 hp, that’s the one you want. Had her up to 135 mph according to the WI cop…

[@huckleberrymulberry4764]

🤣. Mine in this video won’t go that fast especially when throwing hills at it or headwinds!

[@rafaellinfernal9711]

Bought my first 2 months ago with 200k miles. 95 si z6 manual still in pretty great condition. Solid little car

[@B20V-SOL]

Love mine wish I can get it going so bad!

[@Cousinsburger]

I wanted one of these so bad when I was in high school. Ended up with an old Volvo…. Because poor

[@huckleberrymulberry4764]

You’re funny! This is my samba green del sol I took to Scotty in early January. Coincidentally I also have an 89 Volvo 245 Wagon!

[@W1LDWESLEY]

I want one

[@pierrebelanger3598]

Great clip Scotty👊🏻😎

[@CRAPO2011]

The racing engine was the DOHC VTEC 1.6 B16A

[@Leopr1]

Using a Del Sol for towing should be a crime IMO. Nice car tho

[@DickWalz]

All I buy and drive is old Hondas. Driving a 03 Element now. Easy car to work on.

[@r4k10]

Nice Honda!!

[@giannagiavelli5098]

My 97 del sol vtec was the first honda sportster. 160hp stock 1.6 hemi engine thats 100hp/cc aka Ferrari territory. with antisway bars and 4xabs disks. stick. will toast a honda civic r. Repairs in 25 yrs: distributor cap, battery, rotors, brakes, oil. one bearing went out. Only sold as standard. Very rare for a low mile nearly non-existent. It still will launch 0-60 in 5.5.

[@ObservingtheObvious]

Hmmmm; Scotty, you need to come to Montana!! In the mountains it’s cooler in the summer. BUT; in Billings or the plains, it can get hot. Here in Billings we went over 100° multiple times;10x or more, this last summer! Unusual yes, but It gets hot enough!!! AC is important here.

[@CDHMONUGTR3NCH]

Save the sols

[@MikeKollin]

Yep, Honda Del Sols are Awesome! I have a 95 with over 350,000 miles, rebuilt engine, transmission, clutch, etc... Runs strong!!

[@garyh3123]

That racing engine goes down a quarter mile in 18.7 seconds

[@PANTYEATR1]

It's nice to see these old cars from my generation💪

[@paulhawkins5022]

I had a 1993 it had 197000 mi and it was 21 years old,I had very little problems with it never anything major at all, wonderful car .

[@calimilk1113]

Wow what a gem!!

[@zanesutherland406]

We get easily in the 90s here in MT during the summer. Luckily he could just take the top off. I drove for years without working AC. Sometimes used cooking towels around my neck. Also my ‘89 dodge caravan has the crotch vent that can be opened to let outside air in. Those work really well. Which they still made trucks with the opening corner windows. A lifesaver if you don’t have any AC

[@m.j.mateyka7350]

Montana does get hot in the summer. Missoula hit 90 degrees for 22 days in a row last summer. But it is a dry heat. It was so a dry last summer in Montana that almost a million acres burned.

[@MRUGK]

I have a RHD Delsol from japan with an automatic roof talk about ahead of there time! I love my delsol I had 2 now.

[@chickenfarm09]

Bring back the Del Sol

[@ryanvtec3885]

I like the one with the 160hp. Fun little car never get board of it

[@JohnVKaravitis]

It's cheaper and better in the long run TO BUILD THINGS RIGHT THE FIRST TIME.

[@GeeEm1313]

Weird. I was just thinking about frog green Del Sols this morning. Scotty is inside of my head!

[@dongibson644]

Scotty, Rhode Island, rusts a lot impossible to find but the metal is made better today.

[@neverlandlostboi]

Most Underated 90d Honda & because of them getting slept on its gonna be so valuable rare and in high demand Seen it happen with hotrod the the desirable stuff gets to pricey they go to the next best and so on

[@alexandersteele4212]

A crx del sol going 149 is nuts

[@arthellstrobles1241]

I like the Del sol, cause of the head room and trunk space, plus built off the EG. But the 2nd gen miata is that🔥🔥🔥

[@EpioN]

This year proved that it can get really hot in Montana.

[@Texassmith9095]

1992 Jeep Cherokee and the ac still works, all original. 😁

[@larrygiuffrida8833]

Scotty, God bless you, you are one smart cookie

[@fogdanielmulengamwango4052]

Scotty is simply amazing.

[@michaelcrockette8694]

I could b wrong but I think Toyota will survive.

[@shannonrolle8749]

I have a 2010 susuki swift 1.2 170k miles still running strong never changed coolant

[@revkelly85]

Thank you for doing this video. My del sole has 125k miles . Bought it for 600.00 your advice is great and appreciated. My 93 is awesome still gets 38 mpg again thank you

[@lukebredeweg5701]

no way, i got a 93 for 600 and it also had 125k when i bought it haha, crazy coincidence

[@joeshmoe8952]

In the mid 90’s I was in Jr High and thought these cars were called De La Sol because I also listened to hip hop music back then.

[@xRomeo999]

I have a 1.5 95 civic 4dr 280000 plus miles. Same engine and transmission. Ac and heat works. I drive it like I stole it. Hell of a car.💯💪

[@crxdelsolsir]

The Honda CR-X Del Sol was one of the first cars to change the design cue from the boxy design of decades before (70's and 80's) hence the largely negative views on curved cars. Also, the Honda CR-X Del Sol won Car of the year by Road and Track on a comparison with the Mazda Miata. The Honda CR-X Del Sol accelerated faster, had more storage, braked better, had better economy etc than the Mazda Miata. More than 30 years later the Mazda Miata acknowledged the Honda Del Sol by making the Miata RF which is essentially a Honda Del Sol.

[@jaminova_1969]

Only Scotty would have a wagon that color matches his customers car!

[@AF_1892]

One of the top 2 varsity highschool cheerleaders/athletes in my school (in 93) had a soft purple one of these. Admired it's looks a lot. Her family is rich powerful good looks status etc. I got a used Mazda MX-3 bright purple next year (my parents did buy it). Her version of this car was super understated class. No spoiler. She always got the very best assigned parking spot front row (TX public schools charge $ for them). I had to wait for Jr/Sr year for similar parking status. Scotty, these were super not over. The top cars in 93. Great pick for a video.

[@huckleberrymulberry4764]

I’m glad both you and Scotty liked my Montana samba green del sol I took to him in early January! 👍🤜

[@WalkerKSOB2000]

Thank you for finally covering my daily, gotta love the old sol's

[@fireant1784]

1980s and 1990s Honda’s, and Toyota’s were legendary.

[@neildelmatoff4477]

How do you get a tow hitch on one of these?

[@huckleberrymulberry4764]

This samba green del sol was mine and I installed that hitch it wasn’t always easy. The hardest part was using an angle grinder to cut off the factory tow hook. When that was gone the hitch lined up to the holes at the rear of the frame. For extra support I popped the drain plugs in the trunk if I remember right and got long bolts with huge washers to go in the middle part of the hitch to give it more support from the middle and not just the sides with the bolts into the frame rail.

[@rogerwhiting9310]

My 00 S2000 has needed 1 starter, 1 radiator, 1 set of brakes and 1 battery in 100,000 miles. Incredible.

[@zbaby82]

One of the coolest cars ever made. I wanted to get one 25 years ago. One of the main reasons was it was very reliable.

[@noahkidd4674]

Try finding a car like that for 1800 dollars today.

[@brokencrown6549]

My 99 accord is still getting it lol Honda has me for life

[@pwee507]

Ive got the 1.6L D16A7 in my civic. Very good engine

[@wall7103]

My del sol has almost the exact same miles lol. Recognized the gauge cluster immediately.

[@daewooparts]

Alot of old junked Hondas ended up having their rear ends converted to beds
