My New Pocket Rocket: 1993 Civic del Sol Si "Samba Green" 

I remember when these came out. I wanted one so bad. Seeing this video has made me want one all over again. The coolest lil car.

I owned this exact 1993 Honda Civic Del Sol Si in Samba Green with DEL FROG personalized license plates when I was 19 and a sophomore in college at the University of Wisconsin in Green Bay except it had the spoiler and body colored moldings. It was the vehicle I learned to drive a 5 speed with as I didn’t have a choice but to learn and learn quick. Ended up selling it it on the same exact date I bought it 8 years later in 2003 after I bought a 2003 Land Rover Discovery Series II. Man I miss that little car and all the good times I shared with it pre-marriage and children. I was just telling my husband today that at 44 years old and with two kids who never want to accompany us anywhere I should buy one again. Fun fact, we once fit 6 people in that little Del Sol on our way home from going out to a club in Appleton as our college friends vehicle wouldn’t start - including a 6’7” basketball player for UWGB! My friend sat on his lap, a person sat behind the seats, I drove and two guys sat in the trunk as we drove the 40 minutes back to the Frozen Tundra at midnight in January. Enjoy every minute!

God I miss these things. My mom had two of these - one was totaled before I was around and the other one I got to ride in as a kid before being sold to someone as a first car around 2007. I wish we would have been able to keep that car in the family.

I'm envious man that thing is CLEAN. I would love to see under the hood

I feel like this is what R&D used to get the Targa right on the NSX a few years later. The mechanism on the top is identical and even the manner in which the top is stored without losing trunk space

I love this car! Thanks for showing off all the features so nicely. It really is a slick little package in the best color!

I just picked up one of these! Got from the original owner, no crashes, clean car fax and has 103k miles! It's amazingly clean, fun to drive, and everywhere I take it people are amazed at how clean it is! Enjoy yours!

I completely missed this video. Good find on the Samba Green, thats probably the best looking one that i have seen. I am now even more envious of your fleet.

My neighbor had one in Milano Red. 😍😍😍 I’m right back to my childhood. Love it!

Great collection of Honda and Acura’s ! You got the best of the old Hondas.

Amazing! Love to see these old Hondas well preserved. :)

Always great to see the love for the sol. I recently picked up #8 from the second owner that owned the car since 1994!

Lookin good bud. You are the Honda King!

Best color for the Del Sol. Great find!

Sweet find man! Congratulations.

That samba green looks beautiful what a clean Del Sol

Definitely a super clean and fun car! The green is growing on me

How the heck did you find that? Wow. The owner must have been an engineer. Lol. Numbers people.

Super clean! Congrats

It’s so clean 🤩, you don’t see these anymore 🤯.

I remember when I had one of those Honda Del Sol , Mine was not a SI but it got fantastic mileage. But I clearly remember one thing about this car no matter how you washed it it always leaked where is the sunroof removable top and the window came together it always leaked there so I had to be very careful and to always carry a towel because it always ran down the inside of the window after washing it. But other than that it was a fantastic Honda product! Thank you for sharing your love of Honda products! So glad you found this little gem.

That Samba Green makes my heart melt

Owned two del sol. One Si Automatic and a Base with a manual transmission. They’re not fast cars but not many cars can provide that kind of experience. I’d love to get another because I truly do miss them

Love it! I want to see more videos!

Yet another great score! It's hard to pass up these gems. can only afford to store one and have 2 in my driveway haha.

Wow! that car is beautiful! Looks like a new 93 Del Sol. I once bought a 96 Accord the owner did the same thing he logged every fuel stop. With the price of gas, how many gallons with the date and mileage. I remember back in the 90's a friend of mine bought his girlfriend a Del SOL it was a 94 black SI. It was a really fun car. Congrats on this one! Its gorgeous! I love that color!

hi my friend i own a same colour del sol.i have it about a month. its very nice and all time classic.old good honda.. i wish you to keep it for years and have fun.sorry about my english.greetings from Greece.

Such wholesome content too, wow.

clean looking car

Congrats bro! It’s pretty hard to find one in mint condition like that nowadays.

4:00 Great find my man. I hope you take great care of her. Clean examples of the del Sol are SUPER hard to find. They're a car that gets bought up and destroyed by young'n's, cause they can. Which is unfortunate since it's such a wonderful car which deserves a spot in automotive history.

If I owned that car in that condition I would never sell it. Damn I wish that car was mine. If I had the money I would own so many 90 to early 2000 Hondas.

Fantastic pick up(not surprised). lol

Oh man I remember seeing this car in old Indian movies and man it is so cool!

Nice find! :) My coworker wants a Del Sol!

Nice example, roof seals even look good too!

My dad had one just like this but in red. That car was so much fun to drive. So easy to take the top off. Only think he ever had to do was brakes and a new battery. Wish he had never traded it in.

Wow, what an awesome find! I want one of these, but haven't found the right one yet. This is one of my favorites in your collection.

I loved my 93 DelSol 5 spd Vtec .

Wow nice car! In Japan , this is CR-X del-sol, rare car.. I used to drive this car when I was a student.

That’s clean af

Love it bud!! 😍

I still have my delsol it's a 1994 si twin b16 black with 96000 miles original and still going strong I gat it brand new I am the first owner. I don't let everyone next to it lol it's my baby. So reliable and it has never had any kind of problems just regular oil change and new tires. I love the color of your delsol take good care of it it will last forever.

Duse awesome grate car for that weather

Oh duh you have an OG NSX! Beautiful Bonita Maganda!!

Man you got a clean one! I got my eg2 del sol with 280k miles on the b16. Everything works perfect and stock aswell. Obviously with 280k miles it needs some work. Well be rebuilding the b16. Best of all picked it up for 1000$

Nice car!

Best color! Always think of the asian hitman from The Sopranos when I see this

Beautiful Much nicer than my black 93 del sol si I wish I had ac 😭

Incredible! Looks just like mine except mine is automatic and 220K. I got mine a couple months ago from a salvage yard junkyard. It had been donated to charity and went to auction. I think I found the hard to diagnose periodic problem last week that might have inspired someone to donate it to charity.

Do you have a list of other convertible and targa top Acura’s? As far as I’m aware there were only convertible Integras in later generations and the 1st Gen NSX. Also, do you use a spreadsheet to keep track of when you change oil or keep track of mileage/rust?

The side moldings are an oem option, and hard to comeby. Do not remove them, and if you do sell them to me.

I found a 93 Honda del sol Si only 70K excellent condition I love del sol cars :-)

My dad has a Milano red 1997 del Sol with the b16a1 DOHC VTEC engine it's great

How many engines did Honda Provide for the Del-Sol? In europe you only got the D16z5 with 125hp and the B16A2 with 160hp. Also the Samba Green was exclusive for the VTI Models with 160hp. And the Transtop was available in europe aswell as an option. You unlatched the front clips, then a bar lifted the back. The trunk was rising up and pullled the top into it. Quite rare to find one these days.

You found somebody that was actually more meticulous than you were with recordkeeping. Ha ha. 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

What’s a list of all the cars you own? If you can rank from favorite to least favorite that would be cool, but just listing them would be sweet.

I'm looking at a 93 Del Sol Si, and it looks like on the Tac the red line (red zone) starts at 6.9k, where on your cluster it looks like 7.1k rpm do you possibly know the reason for the difference?

I dont like the transtop version its heavy and you dont get alot of space in the back this version is much better! 👍🏽

Should I get one that is 3,300 dollars,1994 del sol si in samba greens, 1 owner garage kept, 170,000 miles. The outside inside and engine is basically brand new. Should I buy it

Couldnt figure out how to get the hood open so we could get an engine shot?

Did you end up selling this? Haven't seen it on your channel recently.

I want another one so bad. It was my first car I completely regret getting rid of it after i crashed it (could have been fixed tbh

i used to have a blue Del Sol. It was totaled by a hit and run at the mall.

They should remake this car i would definitely buy a new del sol that looked the same just updated interior

Is the Honda Del Sol for sale

How much did u buy it for

Do you still have this car ?

But did y'all see that nsx👌

Targa for the win! I wonder how long this one will grace the garage?🤔

HONDA IS #1

We used to call Del Sols the 'flexible CRX' because it handled so much more poorly than it's predecessor. A 91 CRX Si with only 33,000 miles just sold for $33,600 on bringatrailer. bringatrailer.com/listing/1991-honda-crx-8/

Would you sell this car?

These cars are unfairly expensive now. If at all found!. The nostalgia movement is a huge bu$iness$$

Once again, GARAGE UPDATE PLEASE!! lol

The stock-ness of it bothers me lol beautiful car tho.
