Prelude newbee

Post by kbad » Tue Feb 21, 2017 1:27 pm

Hi all I an new this forum , I currently have a 2007 350z 313bhp (my second Z) which I want to make my weekend car now (been my daily for a year now). I am looking to get a cheapish 3rd gen or perhaps 2gen prelude in working condition that needs some attention which I can use daily and restore while using. :D .
I am on a tight budget as this will be my third car in addition to my other car 2.7 diesel S-type jaguar.
Hope this makes sense .

I drove a 3rd gen 10 years ago and really liked the dive (could not afford it then :o )

You and your fancy rev up version :roll: :D

Actually the engine in the Elgrand is a little different to the Z's VQ35 in that we only get variable valve timing on the intake cam.
