Body Work:
-There is NO rust at all within any of the rear arch assemblies or anywhere on the car
-No previous body work repair has been performed. All panels are original
-The front bumper does have a light scrapes on drivers side front corner, this happened at work from an unknown road user.
-There is also a very faint scratch above the drivers door handle.
-Usual stone chips on the front bumper and bonnet. The front lip has faired the worse being near the road.
-Slight lacquer peel on the passenger front wing, this was one of the last jobs remaining on my wish list.
-Small Laquer peel patch on passenger front wing mirror
-The motegi kit was an addition to the car in 2010. I will not be removing it and it will remain installed on the car
-All bumper mount points are intact and no body or panel part is loose
-There is a stone chip on the wind shield (as pictured) but has been exactly the same since purchased. It has not got any worse. It would seem it was filled by the previous owner.
-The headlights are starting to slightly fade again – I sanded and polished them a few years back but they are slightly fading again on the top section of the headlamp. They still look very presentable though.
-The car is washed weekly and polished monthly. It has been extremely well cared for throughout my ownership.
- Overall the body work is in fantastic condition, the car polishes up really well the ruby red pearl paintwork is deep and vibrant.

Engine & Gearbox:
-The engine bay has always been kept as clean as possible
-Other than the gearbox modifications the H22A8 is completely standard
-Pulls well and vtec engages perfectly
-The LSD and final drive really bring this car alive, a great addition to a fantastic engine, it is a joy to drive.
-The LSD is in full working order and you can really feel it in the corners.
-Vtec engages as it should with no excess black smoke present
-All 5 gears are smooth and DO NOT crunch. There is NO crunching present on any gear.
-Four wheel steer is fully functional and has not been tampered with
-No dash lights are present on car when pre-ignition is selected


Electrics & Interior:
-All electrics are fully operational, including the electric windows and its drivers side auto down function, aircon system, heaters 1, 2, 3 and 4 speeds, central locking, heater vent change settings, cigarette lighter, Airbags and all lights.
-The alarm system was recently replaced to a AI606 Toad system. It also features an immobilizer. The system is fully functional and compete with paper works and key code so the brain unit can be accessed to change any settings. The system also controls the central locking which is also in full operational condition.
-Interior is completely standard OEM crème cloth trim. It also features genuine Honda crème mats.
-There are no rips or tears on any trim. I am a non smoker and no one has ever smoked in this car. Also I have never consumed food in the car either.

Wheels, Tyre Condition & Thread Depth
All tyres are in great condition with no punctures or deformation.
All tyres are Hancook K110 Ventus Evo V12
Tyre size is: 205/45/R17
Tyres specification: 88W, XL, TL
Tyre wear are all even which goes to show wheel tracking has it benefits.

Tyre depth measurements below:

Drivers Front: Inner edge: 5mm Centre: 5mm Outer Edge: 5mm
Passenger Front: Inner edge: 5mm Centre: 5mm Outer Edge: 5mm

Drivers Rear: Inner edge: 5mm Centre: 6mm Outer Edge: 6mm
Passenger Rear: Inner edge: 5mm Centre: 6mm Outer Edge: 6mm


The wheels on the car are genuine Honda EP3 type R wheels, they are all straight and none are buckled.
They are complete with genuine centre caps.
The wheels have not been previously refurbished.
They are in good condition with some slight kerbing around the edges but not really noticeable.
There are some brake dust stains in the inner corners of the spokes – again not really noticeable, once they are cleaned they are very presentable smart wheels.




Other notes:
So there you have it, I have tried to be as thorough as I can possibly be. The price is slightly higher than a normal 2.2 vti but considering the car is completely rust free and contains some tasty additions I think it is well worth the asking price.

The car has been maintained by me throughout my ownership, it is also a regular visitor to Performance Autoworks where Rich knows the car really well. He has performed many jobs on the car that I am unable to do. The car has been really well cared for and some might well say, no expense has been spared. If anything needed repairing or rectifying it was done.

This car has been my absolute pride and joy for the past six and half years and from my build thread you can see a lot of heart, money and time has gone into this car. It really is a very sad day for me.

The car available for sale now and ready to drive away.

Price:
£3,000

Any questions please let me know via forum or email

The car is located in the WD4 Hertfordshire area

Mobile: Provisionally sold (I cant answer calls during work hours but anytime after 6pm is good)
Email: PM via forum

Prelude _h22 - if I had the cash spare I would buy this car in a heartbeat.
Then I would ask Merlin to sell me his 270 bhp engine

Your car plus Merlins engine = perfect prelude.
