A beautiful type S
I like your choice in wheels and spoiler.

You have a serious soft spot for ludes and respect for keeping her through some testing times.
Love those recaro's.
As I am learning, Preludes like to be driven. Mine suffered when it was neglected for a period, (currently it's undergoing rear arch repairs, damned rust). The Type S is too good a car to deny others the chance to see on the road.

Thanks guys for the nice words and I am still in love with it evening though there are some problems going on.

Main things are the engine and body work. There is some rust on the sills and also the engine is now not so healthy as it used to be.

Hopefully this coming week one of my friend will come around with a compression ration tool to check the comp so that I could see what I need to do with the engine, and maybe Thursday if my body shop guy is free I'll get some rough quotes for the body work too.

At one point I was thinking about selling it but then looked out the window and saw it and fell in love with it more.

This is probably the last post I've ever make on this thread/project.. :(

As I'm sure you know or you might not know the Type-S was doing poorly in the last year. I got too busy with other stuff and no money to repair etc made the car get worse worse. While I had the car off the road for a bit, the sills rusted through and also engine started to die slowly as well. ATTS's oil pressure sensors failed meaning the the main aspect part of the 'Type-S' was not there. I wanted to get the car back on road and started saving up and also got few quotes on getting the engine and body work sorted but then I realised I would be better off getting another car which had better base then to spend the money on this. Also this car had a Category C put on it back in 2012 so I didn't want to spend money on a written-off car as well.

Really sad to see it being broken for parts but this is what is and will happen in the next few weeks. Some main parts off the car have been sold privately but will post some more parts soon (don't PM asking for a certain part as it's probably been dibbed already and I want to give a fair chance to other people when I do eventually post it up for sale).

Just going to post some pictures off the car's best pictures I took as a tribute.

The day I got the car back in 2012 -

Till now -

I don't want to post pictures of the car as it stands now as it'll make you unjizz.

:( :( :( :( :( :( :( :(

I wanted to get a new car and was hoping to get a new Type-S/S-Spec imported form Japan but I think I may have been lucky and just put a deposit on another car. :arrow: ;)

Nice example nitin. It's a shame that its come to a point that it is more convenient for you to get rid of it.
Great interior.

Please dont make me unjizz, i know a guy that happened to and he's not spoken ever since :lol:

Jokes aside thats sad news Nitin, really was a stunning car and a shame it means another Type S is off the road for good.

Any Type S specific parts or anything else for that matter let me know.

Shame to see the car go as I think it has been a bit of a benchmark for other Lude's to be honest, one of the finest examples on here.
Onwards and upwards, hope you get another and start the cycle all over again!
