Hey folks, my name is Felix. I used to drive a peugeot 106 quiksilver which looked like this:




But anyway, onto better things! Here's my new car...

It's a gen 3 1989 Honda Prelude 2.0i 16v 150bhp with 4 wheel steering

It's only got 81k on the clock, and it's pretty much immaculate inside and out.

I got a couple of quick snaps on the long drive back from picking it up:






Then today I finally got some time to give it a clean, and start the free mods

First up was the numberplate. I hated the ugly numberplate mount it had, so did this..

Before:



Mount removed:



Cleaned:



Then re-attached the plate a bit lower down without the surround:




That's all the modding I had time for today, so I found a building site and took some pics:








Let me know what ya think

So today I did some bits on the rear end.

I started on the smoothing

So after painstakingly removing the badges and glue residue, I was left with these rather unsightly holes:


So off to halfords to get the filler, and I filled the drokk out of those holes:


160 grit:


800 grit wet:


2000 grit wet:


Then I just used high build primer and a touch up pen. This pic is before flatting and polishing:


MEANWHILE.. I removed the number plate mount again and stuck the plate to the rear bumper..

Before:


Removed:


Final result for the day: I flatted down the brushed on paint and it looks like this:

I didn't get time to do the centre badge today, so that'll have to wait for now...

I'll give it a proper polish and a blend in a couple of days when it's all rock solid, but even now you can't see where the holes were

Also, this is worth a watch. My mate attached his go-pro to the side of my car to get some 4 wheel steering action. And there's some nice exhaust sounds in there too! (this is with a completely standard exhaust):


As always, comments, opinions and suggestions welcome

Another one to the ranks! Welcome to the club Felix

Love the vid

That looks stunning, Felix. Great car! I would reaaally like that. Welcome in

Thanks for the welcome guys Looking forward to getting stuck in!

I'm sure i'll be asking you all for a lot of help and info in the coming months

NICE CAR. i dont want to sell mine but i have too.

i couldnt tempt you with a jdm prelude inx boot spoiler? its in dark silver at the moment, but looking at your painting skills, i think you would cope.









the brake light is full length and very bright. £50 plus p+p. this will include a home made harness and instruction on where to run the loom.

Hey mate thanks for the offer, it's a bargain but it's a bit too ott for what i'm going for. I want to clean the entire rear end. I was considering a little stick-on boot lip spoiler but that's as far as i'd go i think. Nice car though, shame you're selling it!

the other option is... i have a spare new old stock led bar. perhaps you could cut a groove in the lip of the boot and flush fit it in to the boot.

Haha, tempting! But i'm gonna pass at the moment thanks dude. Any other mods you're selling?

only a standard spoiler in white. w/o brake light.
