BB6 MOT Pass

Post by vanzep » Fri Sep 03, 2021 7:17 pm

I sold the Ford Focus that i had been using as a daily drive and thought what would be a good car to use about town during the week.
So i decided to buy another Prelude of course ;)
I found this vtec not far from me so i bought it yesterday and have had a look over it today.
It is a BB6 no sunroof, no 4ws etc
White Pearl Paint with the 2.2 Black Top H22A engine.
80,000 on the clock and that is in kilometres as it is an import from Japan.
It has had a replacement alternator Feb 2020 and new timing and balance belt, pulleys&tensioners,(now a proper H23 manual tensioner set up)
new water pump and rocker cover gasket in Sept 2020. Valve clearances were also done at that time so you can tell its been well looked after and mechanically spot on apart from a bit of shock knock from the passenger side rear.

I have cleaned up the exterior and the paint is in good condition overall.
The interior is spotless.
Just need to get it undersealed.
The rear arches are the best i have seen on any prelude.

Here are a few pics after two jet washes, two hand washes and a polish - headlights included.
The state of the alloys really let the car down so they will need replaced or refurbed.
It drives well and is completely oem with the exception of the Zigen cat back exhaust. Ideally i would like to change out the zigen for oem - so if any wants a swap>


Headlights being polished and exterior bodywork after a double deep clean. Let me know what you all think.

Looks great 8) 8)

I think the number plate holder is a JDM optional extra from the brochure. :twisted:

Thanks Damski,
I cant take all the credit it was newkid who imported it from Japan. 8)
He did this all himself and did a good job in picking a very clean lude even for an import!
I even have the original bill of lading/sale from BeForward.
The paintwork has come up amazing and that's just a very basic polish.
newkid thought that it might have had a ceramic coating or something as there are a number of stickers on the door shuts.
The alloys are diamond cut so will be expensive to recut so im going to clean them up carefully and take it from there. :)

Had another go at the alloys - not as much corrosion as thought and no kerbing which is very good news.
Couple of pics of the japanese labels and the important vtec one.
Pic of the engine bay - as you can see not a lot under there ;)

simply my 10p here, for 2.5k its a very average price for a 5g 2.2vtec manual but for being an import & it's condition its easily worth more with prices recently, could sell this for 4k i'd say as it is.
