Doc279 Posted December 21, 2006 Share Posted December 21, 2006 I found a 1987 Honda Prelude sitting in a driveway. When I asked about it they asked "what will you give" $250.00 bought the car. The car overheated last year and they don't know whats wrong with it. New battery and cleaned a few connections - found the dist. cap coil wire post melted closed. New cap and she fired right off - lots of white smoke from coolant. Head removed - machine shop charge to check and plane the head. New head gasket and timing belt - fired off with one click of the key. This is the 1.8L engine with side draft carbs. The car has Sendel wheels and bridgstone tires - 205 - 50 - 15's I've spent the last month tightening and tweaking as I drive it. Getting around 30 mpg and the car is fun to drive - Not real quick but definately faster than my Toyota 4 runner. Almost zippy compared to my truck. I now have a daily driver Prelude that looks pretty good and I have a grand total of $500.00 involved. I know this is not everybodys idea of a "true" Prelude but I like it. I'll go back to lurking now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doc279 Posted December 21, 2006 Author Share Posted December 21, 2006 The body kit makes a lot of noise - it may come off if I can't get rid of the noise with rubber mounting and new hardware. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
speedemon Posted December 22, 2006 Share Posted December 22, 2006 i'll take those skirts and rear from you if you do decide to get rid of the kit. i'll throw my rear stock bumper in on the deal but the front one was broke by the last owner when he met a sign post. LMK looks good by the way Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
