Steves 5g Sparkle Yellow Motegi

Post by Stevehonda » Wed Aug 19, 2015 6:52 pm

Hay guys and gals,

New to this page and owning a prelude. picked up this last October and planned just to use it as a runabout but have completly fallen for it!

Image

I just loved how it handled on the road and how much fun they are to drive.

so since October i have had the engine looked over, was leaking oil in several places :lol: so had them all fixed along with new cam belt and water pump etc.

Engine bay was looking rather sorry for itself..

Image

And then..

Image

I have also put back on the original air box for now.

Few little problems, one being the rear bumper had sagged, looking like i had been rear ended, took apart to find that the bolts had rusted though and the bumper was hanging on the top clips so i made new brace

Image

The previous owner also had someone reverse onto the bonnet so i sourced some replacement pannels and its off to the bodyshop on the 1st

Image

Would be good to hear what you guys think, I have met Gordonlear and he helped me fix my 4ws (which only took him like 30 seconds!) and said all you guys are quite friendly ;) so would be good to get to know you lot!

heres a last photo before i took it too bits

Image

And i took my air con out so if any of you guys need any of the pipes or connectors your welcome to it! it had no gas in when i took it out so i am not sure if it all works.

Hey
Welcome along.

Nice looking Lude. Looks in good condition minus the bits you've mentioned. And don't see many Sparkle Yellows about.
This site is a good place for info, I've found it massively helpful.

Looking forward to what you do with you car 8-)

Good work.

Also the original air box if it's the dynamic intake chamber from a h22a8 is pretty much the best intake you can get for these engine. Keep it on.
