Haha yeah im getting that picture mate :p i like crazy forums though, they are the most active haha. Well as i said above im going to look for a well looked after one with decent mileage and service history then chuck about 2 grand into it to do timing belt, pump and tensioners, a full honda service and with whatever s left, try get a nice exhaust, a decent cold air feed system and some alloys :)

Once ive got all the funds together mate, i will do :) thanks for that :)

3G is the one with the pop up lights right? If so, im not overly keen on the popup lights, i adore the front end of the 4G though so i think ill stick to 4G, thanks though mate for the welcome :)

Ha! thats top, on the FTO forums i was the only one in the northwest haha :p glad to hear im not on my own :p and i may come down to the meet anyways and take a look around, but defaintely saving up for a bit before i get one.

Atm im not looking for a particular spec, ide like it to be near standard to put my own mark on it and well looked after, but as i said, most of the money i save will be to get jobs done on the car once ive bought her so i dont need to worry about them, usually what i do on cars anyway :) Other jobs ill do myself but ide rather take it to a specialist, get i all done including a full service etc, then i can drive her with the knowlege that the major parts that do need changing have been done.

Thanks mate :)

So a question to all, How much roughly would an engine rebuild cost if i sourced the parts? Because if i get one with 110k + mileage i might get a rebuild done. Is there a Lude specialist i could take the car to on here? or around? i dont mind having to travel, im in the process of building a car trailor and i have my transit van to pull it.

TBH unless there is something glaringly wrong with the engine I would leave it well alone. Over 100,000 miles is nothing to fear. Engine wear is the least of your problems when owning a 20 year old Prelude. Rust, worn suspension / duff ball joints and bushes, old fluids are the things to focus on IMO.
