Well it is my first "ricer" and I am very impressed with it's handling. Best handling car I have ever driven. It is a 2.3L five speed, and the silver/gold with the black and tan interior is a Special Edition with gold badges, etc.

My former goodies stem from when I was a race engine builder, including a 89 Dodge Caravan turbo that pulled mid thirteens in the quarter mile with all stock components save for the computer and injectors. Other past rides are Dodge Daytonas, Plymouth Road Runner, and a LOT of souped up pickup trucks. I used to build dirt track MOPAR v-8 engines and all brands for drag racing. My hands don't let me do as much head porting as they used too, and my shop in Arkansas got hit by tornadoes in 2011, and I lost it all.

Turbos I like, and have played with them, but only in Mopar applications (Chrysler products)

Having a 2.2 vtec I don't know a lot about the 2.3 but isn't that the engine that does not go bang if you turbo it?

Welcome, lude looks in great nick (but why the seat covers?

)

I've seen that paint colour before but not that colour interior.

What colour/pattern are the actual seat trims?

Seats are worn perf tan leather. 2.3 is a stout motor from previous friends experience. Stout bottom end in them. Thanks for the welcome.

Welcome to the club Mike. As said, that's a beautiful looking lude you have there

Also had Firebird Trans Ams, a modded Fiero, and a Corvette-engined Chevy pickup. Multiple Jeep Grand Wagoneers. I loved em all. This Prelude is worming into my heart though.
