Bloody quality engine IMO. You can get 150hp put of it with just bolt ons.

Well you guys have certainly given it to him warts an all!

Made it sound like all of the car's a liability

Everything listed are indeed things that can affect ludes, but just to put it in perspective, don't expect to find that list of problems on one car, so don't be put off going to look at it - they are good, reliable cars!

no one was giving that opion

i hope the lude he sees is a real minter and for that money it would be a steal

wish we could inform all new to lude

so they could all start the lude bug the right way

i live in n.ireland are mot isnt the same as yours but it could still be his mate as tester, ill be checking all dash come on and go out, I am buying a lude just dont no if its going to be this one, but its the only 5th gen 2.2 vtec forsale in n.ireland

i hope you find the right one in this one m8

and this was just a list of potholes that others on here have faced

and your mot may not be the same but it is in the respect that it is only good for while the car is in being tested, all mot testes will tell you and the police for that matter

they don't know what was done to the car 5 mins after it left the garage

have seen people fit borrowed parts to pass mot then swap them back afterwards

just a fact of life that i was always told, never take it for granted that the mot means the car is safe i is just a classic newbie mistake.
believe what you see with your eyes and not what you are told

Just to add to HH's post:

You're not going to find the H22A7 in the Prelude unless its been swapped in, I'd pick that over the A8 any day. The A7 is an ATR engine.

If you find a H22A6 I will eat an item of your choosing.

Yep, but the A8 still has the 11:1 pistons and therefore the same potential, it's just dialled down a bit in it's prelude incarnation.
Mine is an A8 for example
