hey i didn't catch it in the video did he mention the year make and model of the car?

The only thing I hate about your 1993 Honda Civic Del Sol is you saying “1993 Honda Civic Del Sol” every ten seconds.

Yeah your 1993 honda civic del sol desperately needs a bigger wheel/tire combo or lowering springs. It almost looks lifted lol.

The problem your having with your reverse gear is caused by the fact that the reverse gear doesn’t have a synchro so sometimes if ur going forward and u stop quickly and try to thro it in reverse the gears are spinning In the transmission at different speeds so it will either get stuck or grind. An easy way around this is to just push back in to neutral then gently slide back in to the reverse gate

The fastest way to warm up your 1993 Honda Civic del sol is by driving it. Not letting it sit at idle for 15 minutes.

The thing I hate about my delsol is getting in and out. You fall in, and have to climb out haha

Might want to replace the shifter linkage and all bushings first. Should be less than 100 bucks and may even fix your reverse issue in your nineteen ninety three Honda civic del sol🤷‍♂️

Dennis- honda del sol 0-60 eventually. Me- in my 1977 mustang mach II with 90 horsepower😂. love your videos keep it up 👍.

for the warm up time. check your thermostat or it could be a leaky rad like mine

The problem you are having with the transmission is the same I had with my VW Caddy 3, however first gear was blocked. You don't have to rebuild the transmission, however you need to tighten up some bolts. These are the bolts that connect the metal wire from the shifter to the transmission. They get loose throughout the years👍.

The transmission does not have a problem. You have to put 1st gear and then reverse every time you reverse.

I have a 1993 del sol si with the 1.6 vtec sohc in samba green. Its 100% stock with 150k miles. It was parked in 2005 due to the same transmission issue you have. Im currently in the process of taking the transmission out to rebuild everything. Hope your del sol project goes well!

I own 98 Civic EJ9 D14A3 and I have the same issue with the rear gear. One out of ten times it gets blocked. But after the second or third try it works. I replaced the transmission fluid MTF3 , but it didn't do any difference.

im looking into getting a JDM del sol; they had tge power ‘transtop’ which they never offered in usa; also they offered automatic with 1.6 VTEC (calked SiR)

take a shot every time he says "My 1993 Honda Civic Del Sol" ?

I didn’t even get the chance to whole video bec I got tired of hearing “1993 Honda Civic del Sol” .

1st gen cooper's have the same shifting issue. I just go 1-6 a couple times to work the gearbox and she's good to go!

Feel like the cold air might have a little to do with the car not warming up fast enpugh

bro got the lift kit on some 10inch wheels fuckin mint 👌

Flushing fluids like you said will probably help a lot! I would bet it hasn't been flushed in a while!

The cup holder makes me wanna kms whenever I have a drink

No AC or PS bro? & ur keeping stock?

As a new driver on a budget, if the only things you hate about a dope af cheap jdm car is a cup holder and taking 10 minutes to warm up... I'm alllll in

Man that’s funny cus my 93 Civic Del Sol had a pretty okay 0-60mph but it was pretty heavily modified. Was still a D15B7, just had a lot done to it

Easy fix for the warming up issue. Remote start. It's about $150 for a decent quality alarm and Remote start.

I bought a 97 del sol recently 212k miles

Love mine tbh 🙏🏼my hardtop is a custom carbon fiber

My son bought a 1995 Del Sol in great shape. 120 k Green/Blue color. Can't remember the engine, but it's not the slow 1.6 but not the fast one either. 5 speed, factory non A/C car. Visiting him in a few weeks, can't wait too see and drive it

It’s doing that stuck thug trying to go into REVERSE because you gotta pull up the RING UNDERNEATH! While shifting it into R, pull up on the ring underneath attacked to the shifter+leather, you can tell it’s a straight shot up and on a cylinder. That allows you to shift it into reverse separately, so you are supposed to get stuck going into REVERSE! It’s a gear/ring lockout, bro, stop shoving it into reverse without the lockout!!

I got my 93 with 90k on it in 2019. My only complaint isnt with the car so much than the inability to find brand new roof seals.

Is this a 1993 Honda Civic deal Sol?

So for number 1 Check your coolant level, thermostat, and get a coolant flush. I daily one of my del sol (I have 3) and even on -40 days she is nice and warm and having to turn the heater down within minutes. The trans is a common honda thing for older n/d series. Fr the factory it happens. No need to rebuild. Love your sol man. I have a stock sol, my b20 with gsr trans on 9 psi, and my h2b 600 wheel sol. Love these cars.

I've got a '93 Del sol Si manual 1.6L Vtec, but I never drive the car fast enough to achieve Vtec speeds. I'm not sure when it's supposed to kick in. The engine, transmission, and exhaust are all stock. Some say that the Del Sol was a failure as a sports car for Honda, but I love mine. Leaky top and all.

That transmission "issue" is the same on every honda. I've driven a very large amount of Hondas buy working at a Honda dealership and I can safely say that it's just a Honda thing

My 93 Samba is an Si . It loves to go fast !

Well I love my 1996 del sol wirh the VTec trim suspension

Was that a 1993 Honda Civic Del Sol?

Not trying to be mean but please stop saying “guys” so much. Rev it above 4500 RPM and it will feel/be quicker. Put an ex or si transmission in it if you’d like it to be a bit quicker since you need a new trans anyway. Read up on it ::)

Mine took awhile to warm up as well. Replaced thermostat~ problem solved doesn’t take more than 5min to warm up.

use evana coolant it's better because had 0 corrosion, lifetime, heats faster, mine in 5 min are at normal temperature on the gauge

Trying to find new rubbers is a pain, definitely if the roof leaks. Other than that I love mine :3

That's a short ram intake not a cold air so really it's pulling in hot ambient air from under the engine bay. The problem you're having going into reverse is not a problem. I had a 2000 Civic si and it did the same exact thing. It's normal to put it into 1st. then go back to reverse to get it to go in.

Things to hate... parts are hard to find because the 93 is different compared to the rest of the years.

I got a 93 too but I got the si. It has 233,000 miles but it’s still Pretty quick. And the cup holders are useful if u got a automatic. Still have to turn 240 degrees to grab ur drink but I don’t mind

I have a 96 Del Sol and love this car daily driver and only car for 12 years over 300k on the original Automatic Transmission 3rd engine but first was poorly maintained I don't think the 2nd owner ever changed the oil the 2nd engine I screwed up 100% my fault but $800 will get you a wonderful 30k mile JDM just drop it in great Florida cruiser. No top leaks unless its a hurricane and I'm parked then small drip where the driver side meets the window.

I bought a brand new Honda Civic Del Sol in 1993 and have owned and driven it daily since, 216,000 miles on it now. Removeable roof leaks somewhat but that is about it Have renewed: Ignition system, exhaust and catalytic converter, computer, repainted and all the general maintenance items. Price new: $15,000 with automatic.

I have a del sol 1.6 VTEC from 1996 but is the ESi model and not the VTi one(125hp instead of 169) 1st - very sad that it is not 1.6 VTEC (it really makes a difference when you want stock speed) 2nd - looks like you are using the stock tubes for the intake but are using a filter for a cold air intake; currently your setup looks like a short ram; cold air intakes will go through the hole below your filter and the tubes should be longer 3rd - it's normal for the rear gear to stuck on old cars(not happening only on del sol), because it's not like it is the most used gear in the car. However, instead of shifting gears to make it work, quickly release the gear pedal and press it again and you will see that the gear will enter position without problems; 4th- hahaha my cupholder is ripped off and I also wouldn't use it as the position is shitty 5th- i put a shortshifter in my del sol and gears are shifting a lot better although rear gear sometimes get stuck(but if you are using the trick above then no problems)

Do you think the 1995 would be a good first car?

How many fuckin times do you need to say “ my 1993 Honda Civic del sol

get a different thermostat that only opens at a hotter temp.

Nothing wrong with your transmission. Even modern manual transmission you still have to be gentle when engaging to reverse.

I have a Honda Civic del Sol as well, and I am so glad that the Whataburger cups can actually fit in the cup holders 😂

1:55 No thermostat I'm guessing.

If it’s taking 15 minutes to warm up you have a bad thermostat. Replace it - extremely cheap part.

Perform an engine vacuum test. You may be losing some engine power due to a vacuum leak.

Do a K swap.

Keep it stock

If you buy a model with the weakest engine, you really can not complain about the speed. The warming up and the gears have been explained to you 20-30 times in the comments, and the hard top has been used not so carefully by previous owners - so the only thing you actually can complain about is the cup holders - being put where they are, stock. But even with the cupholders - as you say, where should they have put them otherwise? There’s no room for them elsewhere. So that makes zero things to complain about 👌🏻 Last thing: Please keep it stock (ffs!).

No one buys a delsol bc it’s fast like bro and you didn’t even buy the si

shoulda tryed to get vtec

I know it's late but that is a air filter. Cold air intake would be behind the bumper short ram would delete the factory tubing. And for godsakes pleaseeeeee stop saying yr,make,model every 20sec

That's not a cold air intake

Hi you want to sale it to me? I have one already but my daughter wants one too ;)

So.. YAH

So its faster wit the vtech engine?

Cheap door handles, leaky top, cup holder, no front interior light, broken glovebox door.

There nothing wrong with the transmission

You were saying the brand model so often it got so annoying I stopped watching.however change the thermostat .get the correct part number of the stat for you model.i have a JDM Sol .some idiot put a stat in that wasn't allowing it to heat up.the correct one was rated 10° difference.This will cure your issue.

3 valve😂😂😂😂😂😂💀💀💀💀💀💀💀

u need to lower ur car.
