Hi guys. I've just bought an awesome 2nd gen prelude.
I'm new to hondas so im sure il be on here quite a lot asking questions haha!

Right the mods done to it (all taken from the ad and the guy):
HKS Windmaster Exhaust that was imported from Japan.
OBX-R Manifold for the 3rd gen but cut & modified to fit

The engine has had loads of work done:
Chemical cleaning both block and head, cylinder rebore and hone, repair damaged camshaft bearings, cylinder head skim, and block decked.

New Piston Rings
ACL Race Engine bearings
Head gasket Kit
Block gasket Kit
Water Pump
Timing Belt
Champion Oil filter
Dizzy cap and rotor arm
Spark plugs
Ignition wires
throttle body bored an extra 4mm
Adjustable Cam pulleys

Head work carried out was:
matching the inlet manifold, porting out the plenum intake to the larger throttle body polishing the inside of the inlet manifold,
reworking the inlet and exhaust ports, reshaping the valve guide ramps and guide ends,
polishing chambers and de-shrouding around the valve seats.

Its on rota grids too which are lush!! <3

what i want to do:
coilovers (need some help sourcing these)
induction kit (again need help)

thanks for looking
Rob :)

Welcome to LG Rob. Sweet ride! 8-)

Good to have you on board, I'm also from down south. Where abouts are you?

And what size are the Rota's? Was considering a set of those for my 3rd Gen eventually - they do look quality on that shape car. ;)
