Moves car with forklift
Also wonders why the car might have undercarriage damage

[jamesboone]

My brother had a Del Sol. Best car he ever owned. Had almost 900, 000 miles with original engine before it died.

“ChrisFix has one so it’s gotta be good” 😂

The NRG key is for an anti-theft plate for the quick-release; you put the plate on after removing the wheel, and lock it.

That b16 under the hood is a little beast of an engine

[SKOMPAS]

The undercarriage damage is from being moved about by a fork lift!!
Or maybe it was just slammed hah

“Check engine light is on.” Yep, the engine is indeed in the engine bay.

imo it looks like NB Miata and EG6 Civic had a baby, I love it!

I'd buy that thing. That's the kind of car I'm gonna buy when I'm a bit older as my over 40 car lol. My father wanted a 1970s car because he grew up learning to drive in that era. I learned to drive in the 90s so I want a 90s toy. These little Del Sols are so much fun to drive. You need basically no power to feel like a rocket. Put 200HP in one and it flies while also still getting solid gas mileage.

Definitely the most under appreciated Honda. I’ve owned 4 and currently daily drive a 94 VTEC with 212k miles and the thing still puts a smile on my face everyday

Key is for a quick release lock cover. You take the wheel off, put the locking cover on and “nobody can steal your car” just take the wheel with you when you leave the car😂

that classic Honda key on and chirp before rolling the starter over is by far the best thing I love about 90’s Honda’s…

There used to be this really pristine Del Sol near me, the lady also owns an E36 M3 on some nice BBS wheels, sadly the Del Sol is gone now. Fully factory, amazing paint.

[thomasyang]

That’s a top of the line car right there

[OfficialEnzoEdoggYT]

That key is to lock the steering wheel hub when the quick release steering wheel is off. The steering hub is lockable because it makes the car less easy to steal.

Those map lights are a common thing to add as an OEM+ type of build. Great option we never got in the US. That car is full of goodies us del sol nerds love

[callmetimmy]

Wow.. 67, 000 km that's crazy low that's definitely a steal

PLEASE BUY IT, SiR trim, B-Series engine, clean interior. She needs to be saved 🙏

This was my first car, it cost me a whopping 800 euros. It was an amazing little car with tight steering, tight shifter feel, bulletprrof D16 engine, a boot that was over double the volume of a miata's, big sowage boxes behind the seats, rev happy engine, electric rear window, great stock suspension and overall just comfortable and lovely to drive. The 160hp version is basically just a targa EG6 and the 125hp D16 is just a targa EG5. I've since swapped to an MR-S but it will always be special to me.

On the outside it looked like a car my grandmother would own, on the inside, a car from my GTAV Garage. I'd love to see a sick paintjob on that car - absolute glowup
