Project EX, 2.0i 5TH Gen

Post by honda-hardy » Sun Apr 19, 2015 3:00 am

As a continuation from this thread, http://www.ludegeneration.co.uk/general ... 15726.html
I have been to see the car and its spot on and couldn’t ask for a better condition body on a prelude.

Its a 2.0i 5th gen, silver, and very tidy. Only paid £350 for it as the previous owner said it was beyond economical repair as it has a power steering leak.
Its mot'd till October and has a comprehensive, full service history, brand new discs and pads all round and not a spot of rust anywhere.
However, looking at it today I have found the power steering leak to be just the cooler, it has a spot of rust causing a hole. Well that will be easy.
It needs a dam good clean, the alloys are not perfect and the rear number plate surround needs bonding back into the rear bumper.

Here it stands today on the viewing.
Feeling lonely and covered in sandy dust.

May project EX commence.

The reason for calling it project EX? No not for experimental, but for the Ex-wife, she is mental.

Nice find. My old 2.0 was just as clean.

What's she doing with her mint 4g?

PS not all mental, if she's determined to stick with a lude for a daily ;)

SCORE INDEED.

Drove it home today and its sublime. it feels like a new car. all joints and suspension are tight, no knocks or bangs. its quick for a 2.01 too. The auto box is really good too, much better than the 4th gen auto.

i love the interior, black on black. none of the fake wood and its got heated seats, headlight adjusters and a sunroof. i wish i never mentioned it to the ex now as i am so gutted not to be using this as my daily. it is truly amazing, and a credit to the previous owner.

i will pop up some pictures tommorow in the daylight but once i buy a new phone. just broke my screen. :oops:

the 2.0 is a great car as standard economical really quick for a non vtec car and the standard suspension is pretty good at soaking up the bumps
