Hi guys,
this is my BB6 VtiS (Atts).
Bought it at the end of 2015 with 250,000 kms (156,000 miles) , she wasn't in really good conditions.

-The first time i drove it the power steering tube exploted :? .
I went home with a kg of atf fluid that i bought for the occasion... :oops:

-Front and rear shocks absorbers was drains, the rear passenger side broken..
Repleaced with some new Tein Street Basis. Now it's almost perfect.. I will have to change the entire bushing kit.

-Paint have a lot of marks, signs of parking (here in Italy people love to beat car on yours when parking)..

-I had to change complete timing belt kit with water pump (Oem), she runned 87k miles without change it. :?
Fixed some oil leaking coming from Vtec solenoid, o-ring seal. I still have one, i think from the main seal on clutch side.
i will fix it as soon as possible, when i will change clutch (never changed in the entire life of the car).

Here to you one of the first photos i did.
Next time i'll uptade new photos.

Sorry for any language mistakes :D

That looks an interesting car and I know you Italians like your cars. What part are you from by the way? We are visiting Umbria this summer.

So is this 2 wheel steer, and h22a8 or a5?

I'm from Milano, in the north of Italy! ;)
Yes it's 2 wheel steer and it's an h22a5..
I've just bought a Type S airbox, than planning to put on atr intake manifolds, cams and a complete exhaust :)

Sure! I've owned an Accord Ce7 before the Prelude.. good car! Sold it with just 51k miles!
She was perfect.. I'm planning to keep the Prelude more stock then the Accord, but sure, she falled into the right pair of hands :)

Here's a photo of my old whale, took at Autodromo di Modena a few years ago.

Hi guys, time to show the condition of my steering wheel when i bought the car.
Gear knob was exactly in the same conditions.

Removed it and took from a professional who has remade black leather and red stitching.
Now they are "new" 8-)
