Haha yeah im getting that picture mate :p i like crazy forums though, they are the most active haha. Well as i said above im going to look for a well looked after one with decent mileage and service history then chuck about 2 grand into it to do timing belt, pump and tensioners, a full honda service and with whatever s left, try get a nice exhaust, a decent cold air feed system and some alloysprahunt wrote:Welcome along.
They're all crazy on here. And extremeky knowledgable. Haha
Plenty of 4th Gens about. Just depends what style/condition you want.
They are brilliant though. Beyond belief!!

Ow yeah, i plan to take my time mate, and find a top one.crigal.bb6 wrote:Take your time and buy a bb4.... The best of the 4gens.....in alot of peoples opinions the best prelude!

3G is the one with the pop up lights right? If so, im not overly keen on the popup lights, i adore the front end of the 4G though so i think ill stick to 4G, thanks though mate for the welcomeprelude91 wrote:Welcome, find a good 3g and you won't be disappointed

Ha! thats top, on the FTO forums i was the only one in the northwest haha :p glad to hear im not on my own :p and i may come down to the meet anyways and take a look around, but defaintely saving up for a bit before i get one.Drax wrote:woop another member from the north westget a prelude before next month as there's a jdm north meet at Oulton park you could make

Atm im not looking for a particular spec, ide like it to be near standard to put my own mark on it and well looked after, but as i said, most of the money i save will be to get jobs done on the car once ive bought her so i dont need to worry about them, usually what i do on cars anyway

Thanks matenitin_s1 wrote:Welcome to LG.

So a question to all, How much roughly would an engine rebuild cost if i sourced the parts? Because if i get one with 110k + mileage i might get a rebuild done. Is there a Lude specialist i could take the car to on here? or around? i dont mind having to travel, im in the process of building a car trailor and i have my transit van to pull it.

TBH unless there is something glaringly wrong with the engine I would leave it well alone. Over 100,000 miles is nothing to fear. Engine wear is the least of your problems when owning a 20 year old Prelude. Rust, worn suspension / duff ball joints and bushes, old fluids are the things to focus on IMO.Merlin wrote:So a question to all, How much roughly would an engine rebuild cost if i sourced the parts?
