I took my mid engine converted Honda Del Sol for some playtime! 

cost + honda. See the cost difference between the del sol and NSX and it will not longer be a mystery to you.

@@zydomason this car could’ve been a MR2 competitor. I can’t imagine it would’ve taken away sales from the NSX the much if it just had a B16 in it. Light and nimble but the NSX would’ve been for real “power”

Because it's a Civic...a CRX specifically, ppl seem to forget that. The Del Sol is essentially a CRX roadster.

@@Aleiza_49 it looks more like it would be a successor to the Honda Beat rather than a CRX.

@@omarawilson2853 The platform used, parts source and the engine placement makes it closer to a CRX.

Thanks man! Yes I own the car sice 2009 🙂

I'd go for the AWD setup haha far less work, everything is done already and you can buy everything. For a mid engine conversion there is much more work involved (think about cutting the chassis, coolant lines, fuel lines, fuel tank, braking system/bias, shifter linkage, wiring loom) and you need to think yourself about bumpsteer and handling and how to make everything work. If I would do it all over again, I'd go for a far more easy swap like an AWD conversion, mid engine is not worth the time and money or just buy an MR2 and kswap it

​@@benniekerkhof True true, I have tried to look for info on mid engine swaps on del sols and there is not that much info about it and it seems most people who start doing it gives up before it's even half way done. The AWD has been done so much that you can buy kits to fit drive shafts and differentials etc, I don't really understand suspension geometry and how to calculate it so it scares me to screw it up going the mid engine route when there is not that much info about it, All it takes is that one detail missed out on and then you are stuck. I could buy and mr2, Would love to have one but the Del Sol I just fell in love with I have spent more time and money on it than all my other cars combined, It's my first car that I am actually building on, Coilovers instead of cut springs etc etc no shortcuts or hack jobs😅 Either way good job on your Sol, It is one of if not the most impressive Del Sol build I have seen it's also impressive to see that you still have it and didn't sell it off once it was built.

Works perfect like this 😊 it's running for 7 years already. Also added some fans in the engine bay

@@benniekerkhof awesome

@@benniekerkhofyou should do a video on all you did to it to make that work, I wonder how the cars weight bias is

@@jacobadair4354 buildthreads made a vid of it! Search for it :)

Honda MR2

No! It's a Lotus Elise
