My Honda Prelude 2.0i 1997

Has 76k genuine miles on it, previous owner got a new throw out bearing and long story short, job was done wrong and wrecked the clutch and flywheel.. so has a stage 2 race clutch with prob around 200 miles on it now, lightened flywheel, new timing belt, new water pump, new radiator as he cracked it with a clamp over the winter, and a brand new unused lightened pulley for the alternator and power steering etc. which isnt fitted yet (heard bad reviews on these, any advice?) is very clean inside and out! 17" momo alloys with pretty much brand new 205/40/r17 tyres, 6 digit number plate with only 2 numbers, everything works, even sunroof electric windows and A/C! front bumper needs replaced or repaired (depends if i can find one cheap or not) and has a couple of scratches but otherwise bodywork is great! underneath looks good, very solid little rust at all really, stock exhaust except the cheap ebay backbox but i love it

basically i got the car extremely cheap because he was american and was moving back to new york the following day and needed it sold! came with aftermarket tweeters too! got a brand new sony CD player today for practically nothing so just waiting for the wiring harness and the mounting frame to come i stock to fit it and im sorted!

only turned 20 and my insurance is due for renewal in a couple of months for my 2nd year soon.. a lot of overtime saving up for that so trying not to spend too much on it atm

i fixed the poor debadge job he did (kept on the prelude badge) and gave it a wash inside and out so is looking nicer now, emptied and cleaned ashtrays too as he was a heavy smoker (need to get some febreeze) haha

So pleased with the car, let me know what you guys think

p.s. need to buy a decent camera

Looks good. The backbox looks good at least, even if is a cheap one

the engine bay dressing looks good too and very clean - just needs the 2 main rad hoses doing to finish the look.

You'd probably be better off with a long arm intake kit than what's currently fitted, but overall sounds/looks like a very good buy. The tag smell will take ages to go though unfortunately

Welcome to the forum, and the joys of driving a Prelude.

Yeah intake probally isnt doing a lot curently but will definately have a look at that in the future

only thing about the car is id love a 6th gear, would help top speed and fuel economy a lot in my opinion, but other than that loving it
