Always loved these. Was actually going to get one instead of my first Prelude 6 years ago, insurance was cheaper too, but it was just too slow for my liking with the factory 1.5L engine, plus I couldn't find one in manual.

That is a nice set up though with the turbo engine in there :D Bet that goes really well!

It's pretty quick, yes. And it's a manual, so even rarer. Still needs some work on the interior, but it was bought as a long-term project to give me something to do to get away from the wife & kids!!! :lol:

Some more pics

A previous owner had it featured in Practical Classics after doing the engine conversion. A lot has changed since then though, but he sent me the magazine, which is cool.

I will be investing in a deeper front bumper which is the matching part to the rear spoiler (aftermarket company in Japan called G5), as seen on the gold one in the earlier images. Also will be retrimming the interior at some point, once I have the funds. 8-)

Yes, JAE 2012. Not a bad plot really, right at the entrance. But the dust was a nightmare. Great day though, and the weather was awesome. Can't wait for next year.

That's not far from me really. Don't know the car though. I've just bought some new rims. Fenichi Taranto in Hyper silver. Look better than the ones that are on it, I've gone off them.
